About Kenpo Techniques
As a Kenpo student, you learn basic principles such as how to block, punch or kick.
At each belt rank these basics are combined into practical examples of self defense called techniques.
These techniques serve not only to aid in our defense but also to remind us of the principles.
Progressing through the belt rankings, the techniques combine more sophisticated
basic principles with those already learned. The student who works to achieve the honor of a black belt
ranking has demonstrated a true grasp of "The Basics". This person is proficient in the
use of basic moves for self defense and can modify a known technique or create a new combination of
basic principles to suite any confrontation.
