Kenpo Terminology 101
Circular Movements - Moves that predominantly loop or follow a curve. Such moves can be used defensively or offensively.

Hello all!
I apologize for the lateness for this months posting.
Well, our children' class is just amazing. Tyler '1' is very diligent and very solid in his work. Alex is the big brother and the strength both spiritually and physically in class. James is great with his happy spirit and continued growth in the arts. Matthew has boundless energy and a very positive attitude that is always present. Nehemiah continues to strive and grow with his knowledge of Kenpo. Our newest member, Tyler '2', is very enthusiastic and another fast learner. Kiaaaii!!! Kudos to our children's class. Keep up the excellent work, guys!
Sad to say, our adult class has diminished as of late. Thanks to Eugene, Ron, Jeff, and Bryan for the consistent attendance. We continue to modify, upgrade, and adapt basic principles thanks to Dr. Dave Crouch. SKK technique application is continuously gaining in power, speed, and efficiency.
I know that life hits than we do (sometimes) and things come up, so if and when time permits, please come by our school and grace us with your presence. We miss you all, and you know who you are…
