text: kenpo?kempo?not the same.both are as good as the person teaching it.kempo leans more towards the freestyle side of martial arts incorporating moves from other styles into there own style.me personally,think that incorparting parts of other styles into your own,working on them and improving them is a very good idea it helps make you a more rounded and better martial artist.every style has good and bad things it makes sense to me to use the good things from other styles.it also allows you to keep the traditions etc of the style you are doing. that is how kempo is in oz anyway not sure about us,couldn't see it being to much different.
