AKKI
American Kenpo Karate International (AKKI) was founded by Paul Mills.
The AKKI is designed as a practical system of martial arts based on the Ed Parker system of American Kenpo. Their purpose is to "preserve Mr. Parker's art of American Kenpo, as well as to continue to create . . . and innovate."
The system is often referred to as "AKKI Kenpo" and was developed by Paul Mills, a long time student and protege of the founder of American Kenpo, Ed Parker. Starting in 1966, Mills received his black belt from one of Ed Parker's first generation black belts. In 1980, he then became a direct and private student of Ed Parker. Mills was promoted by Parker up through his fifth degree black belt.
The AKKI association has over 175 schools and clubs throughout the world including: the United States, England, Channel Islands, Spain, France, Germany, Netherlands and more. The AKKI is headquartered out of Evanston, Wyoming and meets biannually for an international members convention in Las Vegas.
