the WORD kempo/kenpo…still the same word with the same meaning.
however you are right, what i was told was that chow misspelled it but decided to keep the n to differentiate his art even further from mitoses kempo, which is much more okinawan…whereas kenpo (chow, parker etc) is more chinese oriented

so basically kempo is japanese/okinawan

and kenpo is okinawan/chinese

but the fact remains, kempo, and kenpo are both the same word, fist law, the japanese translation of chuan fa in chinese. i think this is what he was getting at.
