A Great Place to Learn Kenpo - Kenpo Orphans Welcome!

Sacramento Kenpo Karate is a very warm and friendly school teaching the art of self-defense. It's a great place for women to feel safe and for men to smack the heck out of each other, if that's what they want. The men can feel safe too. :)

Promotion News!
Newsflash! We had the awesome and exhilarating experience of promoting several students last week. 

Children's class promotions were:
Tyler Miller and Alexander "Alex" Raj were promoted to Yellow Belt on Feb. 11, 2010.
Keep up the good work!

Adult class promotions were:
Bryan Parker was promoted from second degree to first degree brown on Feb. 17, 2010.
Gary Arnold and Michael Cole were promoted from purple belt to blue belt Feb. 11, 2010.
Awesome job! Make sure to give them some kudos the next time you see them.
At the intermediate stage you are leaving the mechanical and entering the spontaneous stage. So when you practice, every so often let your reactions take charge and see what transpires.
REMINDERS:
Let us know by phone or e-mail if you cannot show up for class.
Dues paid by the 10th of every month.
We charge a $10.00 belt fee for all belt promotions.
The SKK patch is on sale for $10.00 each or $16.00 for two.

Body Alignment

This involves the placing of angles into perspective. It is the coordination of body parts in order to harmonize the angles at which they travel. All parts of the body are aligned to travel in one direction. This principle, when followed, automatically triggers the principle of back-up-mass where body weight enhances your action.



Inward Parry
A blocking method (usually with an open hand) that requires your blocking arm to travel from outside in as it redirects a blow or kick by riding or going with the force.
