Interesting photo of kenpo being taught in Japan around 1955.
Notice they are doing a type of "lunge punch" or maybe a boxing style right jab, very "kenpo-ish" instead of traditional Japanese karate.
Also of note is how some are wearing black gi bottoms with a white top while others are wearing all white.
Even more interesting is both men and women are training together, you would almost think back in those days men and women would train separately. On the other hand maybe their training was so hard core it didn't matter if you were a man or woman, you were tough as nails either way.
