SKK / ED PARKER'S ENCYCLOPEDIA OF KENPO
TOE / HEEL LINE – (pg. 127)
1. Method of determining the proper width of a NEUTRAL BOW AND ARROW STANCE, where the toe of the forward foot is in line with the heel of the rear foot.
IDEAL PHASE – (pg 66)
1. This is PHASE 1 of the analytical process of dissecting a technique. It requires structuring an IDEAL technique by selecting a combat situation that you wish to analyze. Contained within the technique should be fixed moves of defense, offense, and the anticipated reactions that can stem from them. This PHASE strongly urges the need to analyze techniques from THREE POINTS OF VIEW. Refer to THREE POINTS OF VIEW, as well as FIRST, SECOND, AND THIRD POINT OF VIEW.
As mental attitudes improve so does confidence. (The Zen of Kenpo, pg 6)
Slow moves develop good habits. (The Zen of Kenpo, pg 63)
In the SKK Dojo –
Okay, November brought us five new students. We need to acknowledge and congratulate our newest yellow belts:
Elizabeth Cotillo
Ethan Harwell
Gordon Wysingle
As an added bonus, Ethan, has joined the adult class and is becoming an excellent student in the adult class.
The children class is going very strong. I would really appreciate it if your little monster/s are prepared before I tell them to line up, i.e. potty, uniform on, belt tied, no jewelry. SKK would like to suggest you have bottled water instead of using the facility drinking fountain. Students, please be kind to your fellow classmates. Please, remind your student/s to ask for a stripe once a week.
Our adult class is becoming pretty awesome. We have a melting pot of kenpo styles. The adults we have are very bright, and bring a lot of personality to our class. Thank you and keep up the excellent work. A loud shout out to the adults that show up early and help me out in the children class, thank you…!!!!
