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

HEAVENLY ASCENT (front two hand choke - arms straight)


1. With feet together and opponent applying choke, step forward with your right foot to 12:00 as both of your hands clasp together and execute a two arm upward wedge strike to inside of opponent's forearms to break the choke.
2. Pivot slightly (into a horse) and strike up and against opponent's chin with your right upward elbow.
3. Pivot back into a right neutral bow and deliver a right downward back knuckle strike to opponent's face.
4. Continue to pivot into a right forward bow as you execute a left inward overhead claw to opponent's nose and eyes. Your right hand is checking at this point.
5. Utilizing quarter beat timing, deliver a right half fist (palm up) to opponent's throat as you pivot back into a right neutral bow.
6. Right front crossover and cover out twice toward 6:00.
