i was wondering if kenpo would be effective in mma?
I feel the same.Its not the style but the practitioner. If he/she trains realistically, spars a lot, concentrates on good defense and strong attacking, then if what he/she trains is kempo, karate, thai boxing or whatever, it will work.

Jeez, what is the average MMA IQ on this site?
close to zero?
It can be adapted to be effective in MMA competition, if you augment it with sufficient conditioning, focus on the movements you are allowed to use in competition and make sure you can deal with the kinds of attacks that you will face, you can be successful but at that point I have to ask why would you go through all that trouble when you can just study one of many martial arts already geared for that kind of thing.
So did you join the forum just to go bump a bunch of random 10 year old kenpo threads?
Not really but since I am a Kenpo guy naturally I search out the topics related to Kenpo and contribute as best I can. It would not make much sense for me to start commenting on Martial Arts that I only have a few or no years of experience in, sort of like an illiterate person giving their opinion on English grammar but what I will eventually do is ask questions about those martial arts that I don't know much about.
