Would this art be suitable for young children 4 - 6 i want my children to do a martial art to help them in life coming from a muay thai backround myself, and to give them alternative's to just punching and kicking a bag ?

@99whiteman Martial arts for youngsters is very appropriate. As an instructor (and father of a 5yr old) we accept students at 6 years old and some as young as 5 after an interview (to determine basic coordination (such as raising right hand or left foot on command etc.). This decision is of course entirely up to each individual school or instructor to determine. I love and recommend Kenpo, but there are many worthwhile styles and instructors to choose from. Shop around and use your judgment.

Im assuming this is Chinese kempo not Hawaiian or Japanese 

[Hakufuichi]

@NourChi This is Awase-Kenpo Karate-Do. Its primarily descended from three styles; Chinese-Hawaiian kenpo, Japanese Kenpo-Jitsu and Okinawan Shorin-Ryu.

@mitchx69 I should also mention what I like about Krav. As you noted it is very fast paced and emphasizes gross motor movements and repetition. I like it's overall gritty-ness and lack of flair; every movement in a tactical situation is intended to be terminally effective and none are for show; you don't need a fancy knife take-away if you can block the attack, hold off your assailant, groin-knee him into unconsciousness, and then pick it up off the ground.

Thank you for your response, I don't intend to belittle Krav in my opinion of its techniques as compared to AKK; I only intend to honor the time, study, and intricacy of dissection which Soke Schenk has put into the development of each technique he teaches so as to produce a depth of effect with each movement. For example, even the most basic form of straight punch in AKK contains not only a forward strike, but also a rear strike, a block, and a grab-break in a single fluid motion.

@01undecided take in consideration Krav Maga has alot of kicking the guy in the groind over and over then punching or disharming him it a quick self defence where like AKK is a life long fighting style that teaches youto fight like say a duel but it depends on the Krav Maga school you go to some are different some also have it set up like Karate etc and also teach other style along with it like karate, judo, boxing etc

@01undecided ...(opposed to the military mission of generally killing the assailant).

To other viewers, I just want to mention that I had the privilege to train under Soke Schenck, (rising to the rank of 1st Degree Black Belt in AKK) while in my undergraduate schooling. I have also trained in Krav Maga (though not nearly as extensively). Personally, I like Krav's "One strike one victory" mentality, but I am firmly of the opinion that AKK techniques are scientifically and effectually superior.

Soke-Dai,

Krav Maga is a form of Self-defense developed by an Israeli General, which is now the primary system taught to the Israeli defense and intelligence forces. It has since been specialized in America for particularized use, such as Krav Maga LE which attempts to teach techniques within the context of a Law Enforcement mission i.e. within the context of American Self Defense Laws and the police focus to subdue and arrest the assailant if possible...
