Kenpo is a Japanese [Martial Arts] form. However, unlike Karate, its origins are linked back to China and still have very strong [influences] from Chinese systems. The name, "kenpo," also sometimes spelled "kempo," is derived from the Japanese [pronunciation] of the Chinese character "chuan" and "fa." Literally translates, it means "the method of the fist/hand." This seems to be a very close translation into Chinese of what "karate-te-do" means and might have come about as a means to bridge a language divide between the two countries.
