Ed Parker's American Kenpo Karate

Ryer Martial Arts Academy is an official American Kenpo Karate affiliate school under Grandmaster Richard "Huk" Planas.

In addition, Ryer Martial Arts Academy is an official Kenpo Counterpoint affiliate school under Senior Professor Zach Whitson.

Ed Parker's American Kenpo Karate is a traditional, empty-hand martial art focused on a comprehensive study of movement and self defense applications.

Students of our American Kenpo Karate program are introduced to an accumulation of empty-hand self defense techniques that are designed to combat various self defense situations.  At the beginning stages considerable practice is given to these pre-set techniques or sequences, but as time progresses the student is guided to express themselves extemporaneously, that is, to alter their sequence of movement at will.

In addition to the self defense techniques, students of our American Kenpo Karate program are taught the traditional forms and sets.  The forms and sets act as an index of movement and allows the student to practice without a partner or train at home.

Finally, students of our American Kenpo Karate program are taught the innovative Kenpo Counterpoint drills that explore the concepts of countering and re-countering in techniques.
