my History of Kenpo in australia

I began training in December 1975 in Sydney, Australia. On the 12th of December 1982 I was promoted to 1st Black. I continued to study and was fortunate enough to meet the Founder of American Kenpo and the president of I.K.K.A. ( INTERNATIONAL KENPO KARATE ASSOCIATION) Mr. Edmund. K. Parker Snr. and his team of refined Kenpoists, these being Mr D Conatser, Mr F Trejo and Mr L Wedlake. From that day forth Kenpo had a new meaning for me. Quote "I had now witnessed and experienced Kenpo as the Founder had intended it to be."

In 2003 Mr Dennis Conatser promoted me to 5th Black in the syllabus of I.K.K.O Kenpo Karate, (INTERNATIONAL KENPO KARATE ORGANISATION). Annually Mr Conatser and his team of Black Belts return to train, grade and teach each individual student and to reaffirm our Kenpo roots. This facet allows us to be on the cutting edge of Kenpo technology at all times.

Kenpoworld was opened in May 2006 and is available to host International Kenpo events. The aim and objective of Kenpoworld is to make the art available to all who wish to participate in a professionally operated environment
