I don't see why people pick on Kenpo so much. I fought a guy once who said he used to practice Kenpo. I don't know which style. But he was pretty good. We ended up calling the fight a draw. He also had a pretty strong jumping snap kick (or whatever it's called). And he put just as much intent into the stuff I saw as any good Gung Fu stylist.
