Kenpō (拳法) is the name of several Japanese martial arts. The word kenpō is a Japanese translation of the Chinese word quán fǎ. This term is also sometimes transliterated as kempo as a result of applying Traditional Hepburn romanization but failing to use a macron to indicate the long vowel. The generic nature of the term combined with its widespread cross-cultural adoption in the martial arts community has led to many divergent definitions.
