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. :)

Sacramento Kenpo Karate

 

We hope that everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Ours was really nice.

 

Wow!!! Christmas is nearly upon us!!!  OMG!!! We still have some last minute shopping.  This year went by really fast, kind of scary, if you ask me…

 

AMERICAN KENPO KNOWLEDGE 101

 

CIRCULAR ROTATION – Rotation of your arm in a circle to build momentum prior to the final torquing action of your strike.

 

ELONGATED CIRCLES – The Lengthening of circular movements so that the paths in which they travel follow a more flattened arc. This maneuver shortens the time of action, and because of the modified angle of travel, is able to strike the target with greater speed, penetration and force. (Ed Parker's Encyclopedia of Kenpo, pg 47)

 

SKK Monthly Update –

 

Our children class is becoming more colorful now that we have two purple belts. Half of our yellow belts are well on their way to earning their orange belt. We want to welcome Tiara to our new group of white belts. If you have not said hi to our new group of students, please do so.

 

Our adult class is holding steady with some mainstays. Kudos!  To those of you who are continuing to show up. For those of you that are unable to show on a regular basis, know that you are missed and you are always welcome back.

 

A huge thanks, to those students who have taken on instructor roles. You know who you are.
