Searcy’s Kenpo Creed

I come to you with only Kenpo, my empty hands. I have no weapons, but should I be forced to defend myself, my principals, or my honor; Should it be a matter of life or death, right or wrong; Then here are my weapons, Kenpo, my empty hands.

“Martial Arts Is What They Do”

At Kick Inc., a Martial Arts training Center, located in Palm Harbor, Fl., the home to nine world champions, Grand Master Jack Searcy teaches his students the finer points of a form of Martial Arts known as Kenpo. Translation meaning “The way of the China fist”, Kenpo, was one of the earliest forms of Martial Arts originated with the Shaolin Monks in the year 520 A.D..

Since that time, many different styles have evolved that are distinctive to their masters. During this changing of style periods, Kenpo lost most of its circular movements and developed into a straight forward style with hand blocks, punching techniques and powerful step through kicks known as “the old pinetree” style, which translates to “power coming from the ground with strong roots”.
