Here are a couple of pictures from my trip to Maryland. This is the class I visited when I was visiting my dear friend Camey. Oh, and something that Ron failed to mention in his most recent post was that he was promoted to 4th degree last week! He was surprised, humbled and completely thrilled. We, of course, were and are very proud of him. He's doing a really great job. 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. |
American Kenpo Karate is American Kenpo as taught by Ed Parker. Amy Long is a third degree black belt, and Ron Nakamoto is a fourth degree black belt in American Kenpo Karate. The school is located in Sacramento CA and we welcome anyone interested in learning Kenpo.

Sacramento Kenpo Karate
Sacramento Martial Arts
Back-Up-Mass - The use of body weight that is directly behind the action that is taking place. For example, (1) a punch delivered when the elbow is directly behind the fist, or (2) the bracing of one finger directly behind the other when delivering a two finger chop to the throat, etc. Back-Up Mass is greatly enhanced when proper body alignment is achieved. Body alignment gets mass into proper perspective and allows the body to take full advantage of channeling weight and energy while traveling in the same direction (directional harmony)
SKK NEWS Wow!!!! Hello everyone!!! It is the time of the year for the California State Fair and back to school. Another sign of how fast time flies by, especially for those of us having so much fun doing Kenpo.
Please remember to check out the SKK web site calendar function to see about class schedules and upcoming events. Plus, let me know if you have an announcement or information of your own to pass on, I will be more than happy to put it up. Contact me at rnakamoto@chw.edu or ronnak4967@gmail.com.
Children’s class has really gotten down to the bare minimum of 3 or 4 students, lately. Travis and Alyssa are now Orange belts, congratulations and keep up the work you 2. Omari has been working really hard and it really shows. We are proud of you Omari. McKenzie is starting to add those tips on her belt, ‘Way to go!!!’ Jon is another beginner who is starting to add more color to his white belt too. ‘Yay!!! Jon!.’
Adult class has picked up some newcomers. Shannon and Shane are new to our class and martial arts, make sure you give them your hellos if you have not yet. Eric is a returnee to Kenpo after a long absence or can you say ‘I have a life’? It was good seeing Lisa the other night.
*****Just so everyone knows, it is good to see you all period. We love to teach and we could not ask for a better bunch of students then what we have now.*****
