One
of the motivating factors that practitioners of kenpo enjoy is belt
advancement. Over the years we have received many emails and calls from
practitioners who get disillusioned after finding that the advanced
degrees of kenpo are by either; repeating the same material over and
over, being buddies with 'one of the boys in the inner circle', or by
buying degrees at high prices and favors. This reduces the truth and
validity in ranking and hinders the growth of the kenpo practitioner
by holding him back, or stroking his ego.
The
Elite-Fighters System of Martial Arts has developed a belt ranking equivalency
for practitioners of Kenpo who wish to further their belt ranking achievements.
To do this, the Elite-Fighters founders have analyzed the belt curriculum
and approximate skill levels of the known systems of kenpo, and compared
them with the standards set forth by the Elite-Fighters
Ranking System. The result of this analysis have yielded a belt
equivalency for additional curriculum to 9th degree black belt.
The
American
Kenpo Legacy Association is the authorizing body for the advanced
degrees of American Kenpo. The Elite-Fighters System of Martial Arts
incorporates an advanced form of kenpo. The Elite-Fighters System is
a perfect method to advance kenpo practitioners. The following table
contains the requirements for the Advanced Belt Degrees of American

The Elite-Fighters System brings the focus of what kenpo is about back
to the practitioner. Many practitioners lose perspective focusing on
which branch of the kenpo tree where an association
or instructor is found. The Elite-Fighters System focuses back on the
roots of the tree and trims off the dead wood
(to follow the analogy). Originally, Kenpo Karate was a complete martial
art which included long range kick boxing, grappling, joint locks, take
downs, weapons, offensive and defensive methods of fighting and more.
Many of the modern variations of kenpo have lost the roots of the complete
aspect of Kenpo and have, instead, limited focus only on specialized
areas; such as, sport competition, forms, self defense techniques, etc.
As a result, many kenpo instructors have blended kenpo with other arts,
like Brazilian Ju Jutsu, Filipino Martial Arts, and Tae Kwon Do to fill
in the forgotten areas. The Elite-Fighters System have taken a purely
logical approach to revive Kenpo by studying all aspects of interpersonal
combat. Whether you are from Parker American Kenpo, Tracy Kenpo, Chinese
Kempo, or any other modern or traditional derivation of kenpo, you will
find that the Elite-Fighters System will allow you to internalize and
master the martial arts.
