Today I was lucky enough to be able to visit the Z Ultimate Self-Defense Studios, a martial arts school that teaches Chinese Kenpo. Chinese Kenpo is another form of Kenpo that has closer ties to Kung Fu and the Shaolin Temple, taking some of their movements from these sources. During our lesson we covered a basic form and a couple of self-defense techniques. I was told that often the movement itself is more important than the destination of the move. One of the ideas they have is Classical, Practical and Tactical.
Classical is the traditional forms and techniques
Practical is being able to teach them to a class safely and explaining them fully
Tactical is their application to real life self-defense
The Form I learned was a great example of classical practical and tactical.
The traditional movements flowed into a real self-defense scenario very nicely.
We then covered some knife self-defense, which is all about the movement of the body, being able to be in contact with your opponent can help you anticipate and retaliate against their attacks.
Visiting the Z Ultimate Self-Defense Studios was Awesome and I really thank Mr. Seth Moylan for allowing me to come and train with him.
