Introduction to Chuan Fa Kenpo
Chuan Fa Kenpo is a system of practical and modern self-defense designed to offer the student a realistic training regimen that combines blocking, striking, kicking, throwing, and control techniques for defense against commonly occurring self defense situations without the fear of being injured. Kenpo is not a system of sport designed for points or trophies rather it is known throughout the world as a self defense oriented style that incorporates rapid punches and kicks in succession to devastating effect.
This class combines the five main components of all martial arts into one comprehensive program that produces a well rounded and highly proficient martial artists. You will learn the striking, kicking and blocking of Karate, the joint locks, throws and takedowns of Judo, the ground fighting techniques of Jujitsu, the weapons defenses of modern military and law enforcement combatives, and strategies for multiple person assault situations. The black belts in this program have a thorough understanding of the physiology and psychology of conflict and how it effects the body under great stress which allows them to use this knowledge to their advantage when necessary. Students are expected to become resourceful, adaptive and knowledgeable in all aspects of the art so that they are successful applying it to situations where the consequences of failure are significant and prolonged.
During the program students progress from learning simple techniques against street attacks like grabs and chokes common in strong arm robbery and bullying situations. As the student becomes more comfortable with basic techniques they move on to defense against full speed punches and kicks. After building confidence against unarmed attackers, the student begins to learn defenses against blunt force weapons like clubs, pipes, and other non-edged weapons. Training intensifies with the addition of basic edged weapon defenses common in more dangerous attacks where knives or broken bottles are employed. At black belt, students start to combine all previous techniques and add handgun disarms and self defense against multiple attackers. Weapons training focuses on using improvised weapons, commonly found items in homes or offices, and employing weapons taken from assailants to repel further aggression. The program attempts to replicate many of the self defense situations that are reported by victims of violent crime so that our students are constantly exposed to the most likely self defense scenarios that they may encounter in everyday life.
Testing is always challenging, unpredictable and filled with surprises to keep students from becoming complacent in their skills.Our students include business professionals, high school students, military personnel and law enforcement officers. Students describe the program as a “comprehensive, no nonsense, challenging, and iempowering.” Our Military and Law Enforcement students describe the course as highly applicable and technically thorough. (Minimum Age for Students is 12)
