My Kenpo Teacher






Sifu Vigliotti promoting Kiyomi to first black belt

 
I study a style of martial art called Kenpo, it is a unarmed fighting art that was brought from China to Japan about 700 years ago by the Yoshida Samurai Clan. The Yoshida Clan developed this system as there war art. It has been tested on the battle field and is a very strong martial art. My teacher Sifu Carmen Vigliotti has studied various martial arts for over 40 years and has taught Kenpo Karate for over 30 years. The base system of Kenpo we do is the "Tracy Kenpo".  Sifu has developed this base system into a very effective and devastating art. Sifu added ju-jitsu into his style that mixes perfectly with the kenpo techniques. This gives this war art more room when lethal techniques are not needed. We can't go around punching everyone in the neck.
