Kenpo 6

Did you know I used to attend martial arts classes? It’s been two years, and unfortunately, I’ve forgotten quite a lot of what I learned. I stopped after I accepted my violet belt (I refuse to call it purple!)

So while I was cleaning out my MacBook, I found a document that listed a series of moves. We called it the Kenpo 6. They’re actually easy to memorize and really useful when you master it. It comprises of six sets of moves that flow smoothly, although one set alone is enough to main an attacker.

Here is a video I found of it online:

And here is the list of all six sets. It’s not rocket science, really. Once you understand the sets and watch the video, you’ll pick on which move is which.

1 Block Chop Palm Upper cut 2 Parry Hammer high Hammer low

3 Parry in Elbow break Check Elbow 4 Step back Check Palm Bladder punch

5 Block C-grip Palm strike to the rib Twist and elbow break Backfist 6 Block Regrab Twist Arm bar Chin lift Elbow
