Kenpo Techniques

The self-defense techniques in the Ed Parker system of Kenpo are simply amazing! Unlike systems that suggest you only need a single punch or kick to defend yourself, Kenpo suggests that there is no "one way" to defend yourself and to never rely on a single anything!

As you begin your study of Kenpo, pay special attention to the technique notes in the Kenpo Journal. This is where you can learn what each techniques is actually supposed to teach you. On the surface a technique may look like it's teaching you to block, kick and chop.

But in actuality it's teaching you an alphabet of motion and how to formulate self-defense techniques from this alphabet, so you can spontaneously create techniques (as needed) for any given situation.

The Kenpo Journal contains the most up-to-date self-defense techniques available in the Ed Parker system of Kenpo. It also contains a list of principles used in the techniques, technique notes and a area where you can keep technique notes of your own .
