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

 

Wow! April has arrived. I barely remember moving our clocks forward…

Happy Easter and Spring Break!

SKK would like to extend a warm welcome to John Tieman, 6th Degree Black in Tracy Kenpo and his students for attending our humble dojo to train.


Belt Ranking System - the colored belt system utilized in grading students' ability. Colors: White, Yellow, Orange, Purple, Blue, Green, 3rd Degree Brown, 2nd Degree Brown, 1st Degree Brown, 1st Degree Black, and on up.


Clock Principle - a method of teaching which was developed by Edmund K. Parker to help the student to visually imagine the directions which he is to follow. Think of yourself in the middle of a big clock. 12 o'clock is in front of you, 6 o'clock behind you, 9 o'clock to your left, 3 o'clock to your right. Also the 45-degree angles such as 1:30, 4:30, 7:30, and 10:30.

 SKK Monthly Update –


Our children's class is as big as ever. We appreciate all of your patience while in class. I want everyone to know that if I could spend individual time with each of you; I would.

The adult class has seen the comeback of several well liked and well missed students. Glad to have you back. For those students who show up on a regular basis, we truly admire your dedication for the proliferation of the art. Thank you…

We are keeping up the hard work, so that we can have more impact what we do.
