### 5/5 — American Kenpo

*2024-01-06*

Great app for American Kenpo. 
The only problem is, when you search Kenpo in the App Store this app doesn’t show up. You guys need to find a way to make sure Kenpoteks shows up when people search Kenpo in the App Store.

### 3/5 — Ed Parker karate review

*2023-05-24*

This is awesome in order to practice the material. This app is awesome in order to practice the material but videos would be nice.

### 3/5 — Needs videos

*2023-04-13*

Great app but would be better if instructional videos were available.

### 5/5 — Anonymous

*2022-10-10*

MasterTatum is a great instructor with superb and practical teaching ability.  SENIOR G.M. Mr. Parker (RIP) skills are expressed through GM  Mr. Tatum's demonstrations, also the ground techniques are explained and implemented in a jujitsu fashion that blends Kenpo and Jujitsu working in harmony.

### 5/5 — Awesome App

*2022-08-04*

This app delivers everything it needs to. There are options for the 24 technique system as outlined in Infinite Insights Into Kenpo and the other systems Mr. Parker played with. If he were here to see this app, I believe he would be pleased.

### 3/5 — Good for what it is

*2021-10-23*

I would have gave 5 stars if they had Tracy’s on here, I couldn’t use it because of this.

### 4/5 — Missing a few techniques

*2020-12-22*

It’s missing a few of the traditional techniques like aggressive twins and intellectual departure. Yeah I know that Kenpo said that it wasn’t a requirement to know them, but I think you guys should still include them.

### 4/5 — Needs some diagrams and videos

*2020-12-18*

Love the app. It’s definitely helping me to practice while in quarantine. However, my eight year old daughter is wanting to learn also. It would be great if there were some diagrams or videos to be able to show her how to do the movements, and help me to perfect my form also.

### 1/5 — Initial review

*2019-12-30*

I just downloaded the app and immediately I see the ultimate flaw in my opinion. There are now visual examples of what you’re reading. This is definitely not for beginners at all.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2019-08-16*

Love your app but I think it would be neat to have videos with technique instructions added to it . Great app though.

Thank you 
Peter
