What's the difference between Kempo and Kendo?

Question

Kenpo* sorry. Lol.

Answer 1

Nothing. Actually, the only difference is in the translation of the Kanji to its English form.

The rules of Kanji holds, that when a character (written word) ends in an "n," the "n" is pronounced when spoken; with the exception, that when the "n" is followed by another character (word), which begins with a "p," the two characters are unchanged in the written form and the "n" is pronounced "m". Ken-po follows this rule.

So, if following the correct Kanji translation, it is spelled "Kenpo" and pronounced "Kempo".

Confusing huh?
