Sacramento Kenpo Karate Class

Sacramento Kenpo Karate School teaches Ed Parker's American Kenpo Karate
For a holiday, we sure had a great turnout. It was great to have Marcos back in class. He's been out for a few weeks working hard on his studies.

Justin has started training in earnest for his black belt.

We had a visitor, Ryan, visiting again from Redding. He and Amy ran through a bunch of blue belt techniques and the rest of the crowd worked on Locked Wing.

We ran a new drill where one partner throws a pad and the other partners either kicks or punches it out of the air. Great fun, helps with focus and keeps students from reaching with their punches.


American Kenpo Karate is a hard/soft style designed to promote good self-esteem, excellent defensive skills and is a lot of fun. We teach Kenpo Karate in Rancho Cordova at Mather Sports Facility under the direction of Mr. Jeff Speakman.

Our students get better and better!

Our students are getting better and better. We worked on a variety of new skills during our last class and it's great to see the tremendous progress being made. We have two students who are getting ready to test for their yellow belts and we continue to learn new Orange belt material weekly.

Most of the students are working to master the Long Form One kata and we've had a great time adding new drills to our class routine. We'll be having class this Monday, so we'll see you there!!

New Student - And Yellow 1 kata

At class last night, we had a new student, Aaron (my husband), who joined us. Mitch, Matt, April, Tricia, Corrina and Mario all were there working on Yellow 1 kata, short one and two new Orange belt techniques. We learned Repeating Mace and Crossing Talon. We missed Marcos last night and hope to see him at the next class.

April and Tricia looked especially good doing their punches. I can tell they've been practicing!

As usual, a good time was had by all. Again, we'd like to welcome Aaron to the class. --Amy
