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.

Arm Bar

Arm Bar is your first introduction into a Standing Arm Bar, this technique needs a lot of practice to prefect it but once you do it is a fabulous technique and can be used from anything to controlling your opponent without hurting them to total devastation.

Make sure you grab, block and kick at the same time. You want to step back after the kick so that you can pull your opponent off balance and straighten out their arm as you apply the Standing Arm Bar, Make sure the wrist is bent and the finger are point towards the opponent, bring your right elbow right down to your ribs and you have a slight drop of body weight.

To make this a devastating technique the student can do a side fall which would drive the attackers shoulder straight into the ground.
