The law of
flexibility is the law of survival. Kenpo is unique in that it adapts to your
build, personality and spirit. If you stand 4 feet 10 inches tall, it makes
little sense for you to focus on kicking when your greatest strengths may be
mobility and quickness.
If you are a 110-pound woman, it makes little
sense for you to grapple with a 230- pound assailant. The old kenpo masters
showed their wisdom when they proclaimed that in a fight for your life, you
should use what you know best and forget about the sanctity of the style. Every
practitioner has different attributes that can make him or her effective.
A tall person
with long legs may have an advantage with kicking; a short person may have an
advantage with his hands; and a heavy person may have an advantage in
grappling. The law of flexibility allows them all to develop their own
repertoire of techniques from within kenpo.
