Learn The Basics of Kenpo Karate 1

In this course you will be introduced to the basic skills needed in foundational Kenpo Karate. These skills include basic stances, basic blocks and strikes using both hands and feet.

                Kenpo Karate Basics Level 1 is recommended for students of any age who have had an interest in martial arts but perhaps have never studied or may have taken some lessons and would like a refresher course to brush up on fundamentals. This course it very basic and at an introductory level.

The only requirements needed for this course is the ability to understand and follow instruction in the English language both verbally and written. Other requirements are to have an open mind to the information presented and to have fun with learning.

I’ve been studying martial arts for over 30 years and in that time I’ve had the privilege of training in various styles such as Kenpo Karate, Shotokan, jiu-jitsu, Aikido and Boxing.

During this time I noticed that stances, striking, blocking, positioning and movement are the foundations common to Kenpo and many other traditional styles. This basic knowledge is a requirement to truly understanding the self-defense concepts of any traditional martial art.

Having a good understanding of these fundamentals will improve your ability to perform many techniques effectively and progress through Kenpo Karate or any of the various versions of Karate.

This course is designed for the absolute beginner or any student who is looking for a refresher course on the basics of Kenpo Karate.

This introductory level course would be the equivalent of training for 2-3 weeks with an instructor at a local martial arts center.

This course is set up in an easy to follow format. It's setup in a progressive manner containing 3 main sections which are broken down into smaller subsections.

Each subsection contains information, commentary and tips and in some areas I've included breakdowns of positions and body alignment diagrams.

In this course you'll learn basic stances, hand strikes, blocks and kicks. We'll use some basic drills to reinforce and help you practice what you learn. As you progress through this course you'll be shown some basic techniques to help you better understand the application of your new skills.

These techniques are for instructional purposes only and not meant to be used exclusively as combative strategies. These techniques can be practiced with or without a partner.

At the end of this course you will be able to perform the basic positions and movements used in Kenpo Karate and have a general understanding of the applications of those movements.

This course will take the mystery out of learning martial arts and bring it down to a basic level using easy to follow steps and language.

Keep in mind that practicing often and consistently will help you better improve your skills.
