Mission Statement

Master Tony Cogliandro is President and Founder of American Kenpo International – a professional martial arts organization.  AKI has been one of the premier kenpo organizations since 1994 and is in it’s 17th year.

The main objective of American Kenpo International is to preserve and analyze “the original/traditional” version of Grandmaster Ed Parker’s American Kenpo Karate and continue the legitimate lines of rank and heritage Mr. Parker has left us. Additionally our goal is to assist other open styles of Kenpo and systems of American-Chinese Influences.
