This is your introduction into a scooping block and defending against a tae kwon do style front snap kick. AB variations are for a right kick and CD or for a left kick.
Remember when you do this type of block your heel palm should lead so that you do not jam your fingers.
A variation is what to do to if you scoop the kick past you but the legs are now spread apart. B variation after you have scooped the kick there legs are spread eagle so you can kick up between the legs.
C Variation they threw a right kick so you do the same move nothing changes other than drawing more into a cat stance for the block, D variation they throw a right kick with a punch so you will come down with the check block to pull the head into a forward elbow strike.
Remember position is more important than blocking
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.
