We have been having a ton of fun at the new school. Last Saturday, Tara and I went down to Dr. Porter's school in Santa Rosa and played with their people there. We reviewed some terminology and techniques for the yellow and orange.
We look at the four ranges: Out of range, In range, Contact penetration and Contact manipulation.
We talked about the three zones: Height, width and depth and how you need to cancel at least two of them in any technique to make them effective.
We discussed the Line of Action vs. the Path of Action. You always use a path of action to block a line of action.
Recently, in the kids' class, Noah, Jessica, Connor, Jadon and Jacob all earned a stripe for being able to recite the kenpo creed. They were very excited and very proud.
Last class was small, but we had fun working on shoulder rolls and how to slap out when you fall. More work is needed when everyone is healed.
American Kenpo Karate is a hard/soft style of martial arts, created by Ed Parker, designed to promote good self-esteem, confidence, self-reliance, excellent defensive skills and is a lot of fun. If you want to learn the ultimate in self defense, we teach Kenpo Karate in Rancho Cordova at Mather Sports Facility.
