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 Karate Techniques

Not my favorite technique:
DETOUR FROM DOOM (front right roundhouse kick)
1. While in a right neutral bow, quickly shift your left foot to 4:00. Simultaneously deliver a left downward block to opponent's right leg with a right vertical fist to opponent's face. (At this point, you should be in a right 45 degree cat stance).
2. From a right 45 degree cat stance, deliver a right snapping ball kick to opponent's groin.
3. Plant your right foot toward 10:00 into a right neutral bow as you simultaneously execute a left vertical punch to opponent's solar plexus over you right arm as it checks opponent's arms down with a right horizontal forearm check.
4. Deliver a right back knuckle to opponent's stomach as your left foot shifts to 3:00 into a right neutral bow.
5. Have your left hand hook downward on back of opponent's neck as you continue circling your right arm counter clockwise and deliver a right hammer fist to the back of opponent's neck.
6. Right front crossover and cover out twice toward 3:00.
