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.

Crossing Guard

Crossing Guard introduces you to a twist stance and shows you how it can be used to gain distance as well as to generate power by twisting out of it. This technique is one of a few offensive motions that we teach.

The key to making this technique work it to make sure that your twist stance is not to wide or two short. When you twist out of it you should either be in a proper fighting stance or horse stance. If you do not step correctly it will disrupt your balance as you twist out impeding the power that you could be generating.

As with all your Kenpo techniques make sure you are in a proper stance
