Hello All!
This is Scoce.. just wanted to drop in and say Hi. I had an introduction to Kenpo in high school for a short time and have been wanting to continue for over a decade now. I'm fixing to move to a city that has several instructors and I'm very eager to start my kenpo journey. Any advice to a total newbie would be greatly appreciated!

I'm not sure yet who to study with. I was considering Gary Swan's studio in Universal City. I'm just eager to get started. I move to San Antonio in about 3 weeks.

Re: Hello All!
Thanks all for responding! I do have a question though... is there an organization that is trying to unify all the different systems that claim to be teaching Ed Parker's Kenpo? I remember reading on-line about the Kenpo Senior Council a long while ago, but information about that has somehow vanished. Does it still function? Thanks in advance!

Re: Hello All!
Thanks all for your warm welcome. Disregard my question... there is so much information on this site if you dig for it. = )
I'm still in the researching stage as far as schools go. I'll let you know what I finally choose. If anyone has information about kenpo in San Antonio please feel free to share.

Re: Hello All!
Welcome to the forum.
I'm trying to remember the name of a good Kenpo instructor I've heard about in San Antonio (I grew up about 200 miles south of there).
I believe his name is Mr. Abernathy. But I might be mistaken.
Please let us know who you wind up training with.

Re: Hello All!
Hi Scoce, & a belated welcome to the site. I'm also in TX, and know of a few schools in the Austin/San Antonio area. Don't know if you want to commute to Austin (just kidding!), but in addition to the advice Brother John & others have given, I would tell you this: think about what you expect to get from the training, what kind of an instructor you want (traditional style vs. non-traditional style), and visit as many different schools as you can. Although they're all "Kenpo" each has a different flavor & you need to find the one that fits you & what you want to get out of the Art.
Just my opinion; Good Luck with the search & Best Wishes on your Kenpo journey!
Sincerely,
Gin-Gin
