Sacramento Kenpo Karate

Master of the Arts John Sepuvelda will be at Sher Khan Karate in Elk Grove on Sunday June 12^th.

 

Wow! Almost halfway through the year. Sheeesh!!!! Kind of scary.

 

We hope everyone had a good Memorial Weekend.

 

Of course, the always enlightening, Amy Long made an appearance on Sunday at Graham Lelliot's 2011 Wondervalley Kenpo Camp.  Ms. Long gave Gary his 1^st Degree Brown on Sunday just before the group picture at Wondervalley.  John Kerr had an excellent time at the camp.  Way to represent SKK guys.

 

CONGRATULATIONS GARY. THAT'S WHAT 'WE' SAID…HEHEHEE

 

KENPO KNOWLEDGE 101

 

Variable Expansion – The ability to randomly select solutions, or build upon precepts, as a result of having a thorough knowledge of the principles and concepts of the Martial Arts.  

[Encyclopedia of Kenpo, pg 133]

 

Grafted Principle – Is the combining of several principles within the flow of a single action. For example a strike may start with a hammering motion, but conclude with a thrusting action without disturbing the natural flow of the executed move. The term also refers to combining self-defense techniques without disruption in their completed or uncompleted state.   

[Encyclopedia of Kenpo, pg 60]

SKK Monthly Update –

Our children class is still going strong. I would like to acknowledge Matthew Rousseve for his help and for setting the example on how a student should be in class. Joshua, Gianah, Jessica and Katelyn are continuing their orange belt curriculum.  All the other children are diligently working for their yellow belt. Keep at it everyone, your hard work is paying off.

 

Our adult class has seen an increase in teens and we are still having 'older' adults trickle in.  We are very pleased with how everyone is moving along in their curriculum, excellent job. The hard work is and will pay off.
