Join us for the 2020 European Kenpo camp in the Mount Wolseley Hotel on the 15th to 17th May. This will be a great family weekend.
During this three-day camp you will have the opportunity to train with and be instructed by some of Grandmaster Ed Parker’s first-generation students who have a huge wealth of knowledge and experience to offer as well as plenty of stories and history of their times training under Mr. Parker
Each year we strive to bring the European and American Kenpo community together in an environment of friendship, camaraderie and exchange of knowledge. The camp is a great occasion to renew old friendships and develop new friendships with the growing family of Kenpo students and Instructors in Europe & the USA.
I look forward to seeing you there,
Eddie Downey.

This year (2020) I am celebrating 47 years as a student of the Ed Parker Kenpo System. My passion for Kenpo was ignited in 1973 and since that time the Kenpo flame has burned fiercely within me. I have had many great teachers during my career such as John Conway, Maurice Mahon and Ed Parker; these Kenpo Legends greatly influenced my Kenpo development and gave me the foundation in the art. I am very proud and honoured to have had Senior Master John Sepulveda as my teacher for the past thirty years; he is both my friend and mentor.
Each year we strive to bring the European and American Kenpo community together in an environment of friendship, camaraderie and exchange of knowledge. The camp is a great occasion to renew old friendships and develop new friendships with the growing family of Kenpo students and Instructors in Europe & the USA.
I am very pleased and honoured to have my great friends Bob & Barbara White at the camp again this year, their knowledge and inspirational teachings are absolutely wonderful.
It is now thirty years since Mr Parker passed away and I believe it is vital for us in Europe to have an annual gathering where we can share our Kenpo experience and knowledge with each other.
