Nankai Kenpo, sometimes 'Nankai Kenpo Karate-do', commonly abbreviated as 'Kenpo', is a modern martial art originating in Lion's Rock. Originally created as a style of Karate oriented towards women's self-defence by Dame Miriam Nakamura, it has since developed into a variant of Kickboxing with an emphasis in practicality. It is primarily taught in Anglic-speaking countries but has enjoyed a degree of worldwide popularity. The sport is loosely regulated under a worldwide network of affiliated organisations confederated under the oversight of the Nankai Kenpo Athletics Association, which functions largely as a 'regulator of regulators' in relation to various national and regional Nankai Kenpo organistions.
