17 Truths of Being an American Kenpoist

It's been far too long since I've blogged, I thought a fun post would be a great way to jump back into the swing of it! Feel free to share with other Kenpoists! 



1) Air Kenpo is the worst, absolute worst!

2) Running the line is probably your favorite

3) You own multiple pieces of Kenpo jewelry 

4) Seminar weekends are always better than tournament weekends, so much knowledge!!

5) You face palm when people think the universal symbol is a spider web. 

6) You exclaim every time Elvis is mentioned "he did Kenpo"

7) If you're a female Kenpoist you despise being "babied"

8) If you don't have a Kenpo related tattoo you've considered it 

9) You've watched Kill The Golden Goose; you know it was terrible, you still get excited because it's Mr. Parker! 

10)You love to talk up the promotional kick to White Belts about to receive their Yellow because that's what all the upper belts did to terrify you!

11) You get excited and pumped about bruises; (you probably call them Kenpo Kisses), you also show them to your non-Kenpoist friends enthusiastically- they think you're insane. 

12) Meeting other Kenpoists from different schools is like discovering family members you didn't know you had!

13) You often lovingly say to other Kenpoists "can't wait to spar you!"

14) You've YouTubed "American Kenpo" and quickly realized how terrible an idea that was. 

15) You've listened to "When Kenpo Strikes."

16) You LOVE Thundering Hammers and 5 Swords!

17) You're always scouring the Internet for Kenpo books you can add to your library
