So what exactly is Kenpo?

In my mind, Kenpo is easy to explain. It is the softest Karate, and the hardest Kung fu. That may sound a little vague but it isnt. Karate is known as a "hard" style. It has powerful linear striking, and short explosive movements. Kung Fu is known as a "soft" style. It has a lot of circular striking and evasive movement. Kenpo is a blend of both. I can use the Karate aspects on those who I can overpower, and I can use the Kung Fu aspects to flow around those who I cannot. It is the martial arts embodiment of the willow tree and the oak tree. I know, vague, go look it up :)
