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. :)

AMERICAN KENPO KNOWLEDGE 101

 

CENTER OF MASS – An odd phenomenon where maximum power can still be obtained though the center of mass remains stationary, and the body limbs strike out in opposite directions. This phenomenon can only work if the center of your body mass remains centered regardless of the opposing forces of your limbs. Although it appears as if directional harmony is void during this type of action, power, nevertheless, is still enhanced. The opposing forces of the limbs are not assisted in anyway by the center of your body mass, which remains neutral. As already stated, it is an odd phenomenon, but experience affirms its reality. (Ed Parker's Encyclopedia of Kenpo, pg 24)

 

Slow moves develop good habits. (The Zen of Kenpo, pg 63)

 

A form (kata) is a case study of motion  (The Zen of Kenpo, pg 39)
