The next two principles of WTK is Awareness and Mobility, These are two very important principles. You must be aware of your surroundings at all times; this will eliminate most surprise attack, if you are aware that there might be a problem you might be able to get out of it without a fight. An example of this would be when Jim and I were in Orlando Fl several years ago, we went to the local drug store to get some cough drops when we noticed that two guys were following us, when we came out of the store they were still there, so we walked over to another store to see what would happen, when we came out they were still there, we headed towards are car, they started following us, we both turned around at the same time to let them know that we knew they were there, that and if there was going to be a confrontation we were going to have it on our terms. Needless to say they did not want to play, once me made eye contact with them they turned and left. You also should have Knowledge of your surroundings as this can provide defense alternatives and not just a reaction.
The 4th principle is mobility, this is the key to any offensive or defensive maneuver, you must be able to move in any direction at any giving time without sacrificing balance and stability for if you do you will give only give up power but the ability to move.
Welcome to White Tiger Kenpo
Kenpo karate is a unique mixed martial art or MMA that traces it's near history to the Pa lama settlement on Oahu, Hawaii. It is based on approximately 150 self defense patterns cataloged by the members of the Black Belt Society, whose members included William Chow who was Adriano Emperado (Kenpo) instructor, Walter Choo (Karate), Joe Holck (Judo), Frank Ordonez (Jujutsu), and George C. Chang. Ed Parker another of William Chow's student brought Kenpo to the U.S. in the 1950’s and established American Kenpo as his style. The Tracy Brothers who were Parker students established the Tracy Kenpo based on these same techniques. The true origins of these self defense patterns are unknown but many theories and legends abound.
