Kelly's Kenpo Karate
Martial Arts Club in Wichita, KS
I started my martial arts study in Judo in 1963. Upon achieving a brown belt in this discipline, I realized it was not very practical to incorporate the moves I had learned into everyday uses and self-protection. I wanted to learn, a better, more effective fighting system. I changed to Kenpo after seeing it demonstrated. I saw not only the practicality of this system, but the many ways to apply it effectively in a street confrontation. This style, one of the most difficult of the martial arts, is one of the most functional. I started studying with Mr. Steve LaBounty in 1964.
