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

TAMING THE MACE (front step through right punch)


1. With feet together, step to 11:00 with your left foot as your left hand parries (inward) your opponent's right punch from the outside. Simultaneously deliver a right inward hand sword to inside of opponent's right biceps.
2. Immediately, while your left hand checks and grabs opponent's right hand at the wrist, deliver a right outward back knuckle to opponent's right temple.
3. Have your right hand grab opponent's right shoulder as your left foot steps back to 4:00 (thus forming a right front twist stance facing 10:00).
4. With both of your hands grasping opponent, pivot counter clockwise keeping your elbows anchored and arms close to your torso), bend your knees and slam opponent against the wall.
5. While opponent is against the wall, deliver a right roundhouse knee kick to opponent's groin as you execute a right inward horizontal elbow strike to opponent's throat. The wall is your backstop and thus the strikes cause a sandwiching effect.
6. Replant your right foot back to 12:00. Left front crossover and cover out twice toward 12:00.
