VÅR KENPO LOGO

Orginal märket som representerade Kenpo var skapat 1960 av en elev till Ed Parker Sr; Dick Tercell. Detta märke som vi använder var designat av Mr Ed Parker Jr. Detta märke har Kenpo Sweden köpt alla rättigheter  till.

TIGERN

Representerar den jordiska styrkan som kommer med den tidiga träningen och inlärningen. I denna utvecklingsfas är eleven mer imponerad av sin personliga fysiska utveckling.

DRAKEN

Representerar den spirituela styrkan som kommer med erfarenhet. Denna mentala attityd uppnås iindividens senare år av träning. Den är plaserad över den jordiska styrkan (Som du kan se på märket) eftersom individen har under denna period av sin träning har lärt sig att utveckla att vara ödmjuk och själbehärskning. Det är intelligensen som styr den jordiska styrkan. 

Drakens attityd är det ultimata målet i kenpo. beväpnad med den attityd kommer utövaren inte vara rädd för sin motståndare utan vad han kan göra honom. Följaktligen vänder man ryggen och går ifrån en oönskad konflikt övertygad om att han hade varit den segrande.

Cirkeln

1. It depicts life itself, a continuous cycle where there is no begining nor end. So it is with the art of KENPO, it too is a cycle of prepetual and unending movement or motion. Techiques follow a cycle, movements are a part of a cycle, physical prowess, humilty and self restraint are no more than components of a progressive learning cycle.
2. All moves evolve from a circle wheather they are offensive or defensive.
3. The circle represents the bond of friendship that should continuously exist among members.
4. The circle is the base from which our alphabet stems.

THE CIRCLE'S DIVIDING LINES

1. They represent the original eighteen hand movements, which are the directions in which the hands can travel.
2. They are the angles from which an opponent or you can attack or defend.
3. They form the pattern in which the feet can travel.
4. That is, is a simplified representation of the Universal Pattern.

THE SHAPE

1. The top of the crest is like a roof which gives shelter to all who are under it.
2. The sides are curved conversely because like the roof of a Chinese home, it is to send evil back to where it came from.
3. The bottom forms the shape of an axe that represents the executioner. In the event a member is influenced by evil ideas and thoughts contrary to our philosophy, he is cut off never to co-exist with us again.

COLOR CHART

GRAY

The circle is gray because it is symbolic of the brain, since it has always been referred to as gray matter.

WHITE

The background is white to signify the many beginners who form the base of the Art.

YELLOW ORANGE

Represent the first level of proficiency, the dangerous mechanical stage in learning where the student is more impressed with the physical and thinks he knows all of the answers.

BROWN

The color of the tiger's eyes, represents the advanced students though not in great number. Also at this level the student becomes more observant. His eyes, like that of the tiger, are keen, ever so watchful and critical, always looking up to the higher levels of proficiency, striving for perfection, preparing for the day he bares the level of an expert. This level of expert proficiency is represented by the color black.

RED

That of professorship over and above black but, as indicated by the colors of the dragon, there are still traces of white in the dragon's eyeball, yellow or orange on the dragon's fins, brown in the iris of the eyeball, and black in the pupils of the eyeball. This is to remind the Professor that even he should always be so humble and be able to go back to any level, whatever it might be, and perform the things that he expects of others at these levels so as never to demand too much of his students.
