A Great Place to Learn Kenpo - Kenpo Orphans Welcome!

Sacramento Kenpo Karate is a very warm and friendly school teaching the art of self-defense. It's a great place for women to feel safe and for men to smack the heck out of each other, if that's what they want. The men can feel safe too. :)

KENPO 101 –

The 3 Stages of learning –

Embryonic: You know nothing about karate and are just beginning to learn the basic steps involved in techniques and forms.

Mechanical: You understand the mechanics of running techniques, but not necessarily the flow between techniques and you can't react instinctively to an attack.

Spontaneous: You understand both the mechanics of running techniques and how they flow together. You properly react to an attack without thinking.

Torque

Twisting and rotating action used to position your body and muscles to work at maximum efficiency.
