Kempo is primarily an unarmed fighting art, combining strikes, throws and finishing holds such as joint locks and strangulation techniques. Kempo emphasises in-fighting techniques, making use of close-range weapons such as elbows and knees. Kempo blends linear and circular movements, sometimes opposing force directly (hard style) and at other times yielding to it to gain an advantage (soft style).
Kempo is not only a self-defence method but a way for men and women of all ages to maintain health and wellbeing at any age. Most traditional martial arts schools devote too little time to self-defence training. At Leeds Kempo we enjoy the many benefits of our traditional techniques and training methods but we also understand the importance of delivering a relevant self-defence programme.

Services
Leeds Kempo and its affiliated clubs, together known as the UK School of Kempo (UKSK), have no known links to other branches of kempo (or kenpo) and the precise history of our particular school, and the influences on it, remain quite uncertain. We can, however, trace our history in Leeds as far back as 1936.
