Chinese Kenpo is Wushu/Kung Fu?

definition problem|||Kenpo means fist method. It is a Japanese term to denote a Chinese martial art. Quan Fa is Kenpo in Chinese.





Wushu means literally Martial Art. Kung Fu means labor/effort.





Quan Fa (Kenpo) is in fact Wushu (martial arts) and Kung Fu (hard work).|||According to my belief, no. Kajukenbo Black Belt Prof. Walter Godin created his own style which he called Walter Godin's Chinese Kenpo. Prof. Godin's most famous student is GM John Hackleman who trained Chuck Lidell.





There are some Kajukenbo schools that call themselves Chinese Kenpo because no one has heard of Kajukenbo. There may be other Kenpo schools not connected to Kajukenbo that also call themselves Chinese Kenpo.





The term Chinese Kenpo is partially correct. Prof. William K. S. Chow who trained a lot of the famous Kenpo people in Hawaii, is half Chinese.|||"Chinese Kenpo"?! Did you pick that up from a movie or something?
