Kenpo Training - Forms

There are four primary forms within Kenpo training: Short Form 1, Long Form 1, Short Form 2, and LongForm 2. Each of them are designed to illustrate the rules and principles of motion. They are carefullyconfigured to enable students to learn that every action has an opposite and a reverse (similar to the Yinand Yang of Asian Martial Arts). These are considered to be "Dictionary" forms, because like a dictionary,they provide brief definitions of basic movements.

Kenpo Short Form 2

Kenpo Long Form 2

The intermediate forms are Short form 3, and Long form 3. These are considered to be "Encyclopedia"forms, because they provide a more in-depth understanding of the basic movements and their application.

Kenpo Short Form 3

Kenpo Long Form 3

The Kenpo training advanced forms are Forms 4, 5, 6, 8 & 8. These are also considered to be"Encyclopedia" forms, in that they provide Kenpo students an opportunity to do an in-depth study of ourmost sophisticated movements and their underling principles.

Kenpo Form 4

Kenpo Form 5

Kenpo Form 6

Kenpo Form 7

Kenpo Form 8

The long forms are extensions to the short forms and include hand isolations which are essentially previewsof more advanced forms later in the American Kenpo Karate training syllabus.

The most notable pattern included within the basic forms can be seen in the blocks: inward - outward -upward - downward. In the higher forms, the difference seen is in what is added at each additional level.How the blocks are executed are also similar. In Short Form 1 and Long Form 1, the forms step back withthe blocks. In Short Form 2 and Long Form 2, the blocks are executed by stepping in. The key differencebetween the forms is seen in how we get to our first downward block. In Short Form 1, we move away,and in Long Form 1, we move into it. In Short Form 2, we once again move into it, and in Long Form 2, wemove away from it. Within all four of the primary forms, upward blocks are always used to simulate adefense from an attack from behind and the primary pattern seen in all of four forms is the in - out - up -down motion. It can be found in every American Kenpo Karate training form, the more advanced formssimply build upon this motion.

The American Kenpo Karate Blocking Set 1

The concepts focused on in this set are those of "Point of Origin." In other words, you do not have to re-chamber to execute another block. You can instantly and quickly turn one block into another. Try toimagine a star as you do this.

Start from a meditative horse stance facing 12 :00.

1. Execute a right upward block.2. Leaving your hand as the focal point, execute a right inward block.3. From the inside, rotate at the shoulder and execute a right extended outward block.4. From there, circle it down counter-clockwise and execute a right outward downward block.5. Chamber the arm executing a right back elbow.6. Execute a right push-down block.

Repeat on the opposite side, using the same sequence of blocks with the left arm.

The remainder of this is the actual notes from the end of Mr. Parker's notes on the Blocking Set 2. Utilizethis as a model for analytical thought in your other forms, sets, and techniques.

Teaches:

1. The use of dual movements when blocking2. The simultaneous use of opposite blocks3. The simultaneous use of blocks "with" parries4. How to apply your major blocks with Economy of Motion, when blocking with one hand5. How to apply your major blocks with Economy of Motion, when blocking with two hands6. Many facets of the Double Factor7. The coordinated use of blocks and parries with transitional stances8. How to use the Universal Block9. How to use Cross Blocks10. How to simultaneously block in one direction: to the Front, Rear, and Side11. How to simultaneously block in two directions: to the Front and the Rear12. The simultaneous use of two sequences of two Words of Motion. 13. The simultaneous use of a sequence of one Word of Motion, and its reverse sequence with a secondWord of Motion.14. How to double block a. Upward b. Inward c. Outward d. Downward e. To the rear f. Upward and Downward g. Inward and to the Rear h. Outward and Downward i. Upward and Inward j. Inward and Downward15. How to simultaneously block in linear and circular fashions16. How to simultaneously block against attacks from different paths.

Notes on Blocking Set 2:



1. Be able to define: Motion, Opposite Motion, Reverse Motion, and Returning Motion2. Practice this set with a partner, who provides the attacks for your blocking action3. Use music to build timing and rhythm in this set4. Incorporate the concepts and principles of this set into your self defense techniques as "Formulations" topossible "What If?" Factors5. Change the definition of your defensive movements to offensive movements.6. Utilize the dual movements contained in this set while sparring against multiple partners.7. Review the timing of the dual movements in the "Star Block" sequence. Build greater coordination bystaggering the timing of the blocks.8. Apply the knowledge of Blocking Set #2 to blocking with your legs.9. Experiment with blocking with your arms and legs while in different dimensional predicaments: a. You are on your back, and your opponent is standing b. You are on your stomach, and your opponent is standing c. Your opponent is on his back or stomach, and you are standing d. Both you and your opponent are on the ground

The remainder of this is the actual notes from the end of Mr. Parker's notes on the Finger Set 2:



Teaches:

1. How to change angles when: a. Stepping through b. Swicthing c. Switching and Stepping Through2. The importance of coordinating the timing of your finger techniques with your footwork to takeadvantage of body momentum.3. To use body momentum to aid strikes that are occurring in different directions4. How to formulate dimensional factors (height, width, or depth) by: a. Adjusting depth with switches b. Adjusting angles with step through maneuvers c. Adjusting angles with a combination of a switch and a step through d. Altering targets e. Regulating force f. Inserting hidden strikes g. Seeking other dimensions when one is seemingly nullified5. How to produce pin-point accuracy with finger techniques while timing these strikes with foot and bodymaneuvers.6. How to use open-handed techniques both as Minor and Major moves.7. To adhere to the concepts of Economy of Motion (learned in Finger Set #1) while employing fingertechniques, and to utilize additional counterparts of Economy of Motion as well.8. Finger Set #1 teaches so many things to look for when employing the fingers, while stationary. FingerSet #2 provides an opportunity to apply these many things while moving.

Notes on Finger Set 2:

1. Practice this set without the strikes until you develop lightning foot maneuvers. Then bring your handsback into the original set.2. Practice this set with your eyes closed, in the dark, and or blindfolded. This will instill in you a valuablesense of feel.3. Remember that Environment is everything in you, on you, and around you at the moment of aconfrontation. To help raise the knowledge contained in this set (or any form or set) to an instinctive levelyou must train under as many different environmental factors as possible.4. Practice the set with partners, who act as moving targets.5. Again practice the set with partners, who act as moving targets. This time have your partners holdvarious weapons, such as clubs, knives, or guns. Make the necessary adjustments to your maneuvers,strikes, checks, etc.6. Practice the set with partners who hold small target mitts. Have them continually move the targetsforcing you to adjust the angle and timing of your strikes.7. Practice the set while having partners attack you randomly at different moments of the set. Respond byformulating your sequences as necessary, but strive to maintain your concentration and continue on withthe flow of the set without interruption.8. Practice the set with fluidity. When practicing fluidity keep two things in mind: (1) move as slow asnecessary to avoid making any mistakes, and (2) move as slow as necessary so that you do not have tostop one action before you begin another.

Kenpo Striking Set 1Go back to the American Kenpo Karate GuideGo back to American Kenpo Karate Forms and sets

The American Kenpo Karate Striking Set 1

The purpose of the set is to teach that if a punch is blocked, it can orbit around in a variety of ways andstill result in an effective strike against your opponent. The set consists of a basic pattern of strikes donefirst to the front, then to the sides, and then with both hands. It can be done in either horse stance, or abent knee attention stance (i.e., feet together).

Set I:(all punches are to the chest area)

a. Right punch, followed by an outward back knuckle. Repeat on the left.b. Right punch, followed by a downward outward hammer fist to the front. Repeat on the left.c. Right punch, followed by a right inward overhead inverted back knuckle strike. Repeat on the left.d. Right punch, followed by an inward horizontal hammer fist strike palm up (grafting into chopping







punches).Repeat on the left.

Set II:

Repeat Pattern 1, but with all punches to the side, and at shoulder level.

Set III:

Repeat Pattern 1, but with both fists striking simultaneously to the front.

Set IV:

Repeat Pattern 1, but with all punches to the side, and with both fists striking simultaneously.

Close:

Bring the left foot to the right foot, keeping your knees bent.a. Both fists striking simultaneously to the front.b. Both hands execute outward back back knuckles to the front.c. Both hands execute downward outward hammer fist strikes to the front.d. Both hands execute inward overhead looping inverted back knuckle strikes to the front.e. Both hands execute inward horizontal hammer fist strikes, palm up (grafting into chopping punches) tothe front.f. Cross the hands, palms down, re-chamber at your hips executing double back elbows, while alsostraightening your knees.g. Step back out into a horse, and then close.

For a little bit of diversity, try this set with an open hand - replace the punches with finger pokes, thehammer fists with chops, and the back knuckles with ridge hand strikes. It's not a major change, but itintroduces some really subtle differences without changing the basic pattern.
