Kenpo Kicks - all kicks 10/10 unless noted other wise - all on heavy bag

Lead leg front snap kick

rear leg snap kick

Wheel Kick

Drag Step Side thrust

Drag step roundhouse

spinning back kick

Inward crescent

outward crescent

lead leg side snap

combo rear leg front/back/side/wheel 5/5 (total 20 kicks each leg)

Total 110/110. 

Felt like my abductors were going to rip.

Finished with some pull-drag wheel & side kicks - I didn't count these

Health for Life Ab routine - this is old school - I am surprised I remembered it. I miss their products.

1.17.12 - #Kenop #AKLA #ESIK #TheTacFitAlbum

I bought E.S.I.K - The TacFit Album: Dare More, Bleed Less prior to starting the session. Highly recommend his album for TacFit or Kenpo Sessions.

Kenpo - Review/Refresh

Yellow Belt - All 10 Techniques/Blocking Set 1/ Short Form 1(right Side Only) - This is great and ready to go if I had to retest

Orange Belt - all 24 Techniques/Kicking Set #1/Short Form 1 both sides - first 13 techniques are golden, 14-18 I reviewed and practiced many times. Kicking set needs more work. Back in 1994, my Orange belt test was probably my best test that i have ever done.

Purple Belt - went through the first 3 techniques - surprising i remembered most of them.

I am getting some speed back into my strikes and kicks the more i relax. I keep visualizing being back in class in 1994-1996. these visualizations are making things easier.

Doing the hand strikes last night my right shoulder popped big time. I was worried about this, however I was able to do 5x5 knuckle push-ups without any pain in my shoulder. Huge step, first time since June 2011 that i haven't had any pain.

TBAR - Level 1 Instructional - Steven and I did this. Really nice to finally really use the parallelettes that i built last year. just on level one, this looks like a real challenge for real arm, shoulder and core strength. I plan on getting some more ABS pipe tomorrow to make another set of high parallelettes and 2 smaller sets.

Kenpo

I also did the first 3 from Orange belt. I plan on actually posting a video of me doing Yellow on my Youtube to so i can see from the third person on my progress. I am real rusty.

5.18.11 - High Day - Kajukenbo & American Kenpo

Strain Prevention in the morning.

Went with Shane to his Kajukenbo class. He was having trouble with his forward and backward shoulder rolls. So I went and bought some mats so we could practice.

I also showed him and Steven the kick stretches from Tom Kurz. Told them to do them before school everyday.

After watching Shane, I have been bit by the MA bug again. I have a decision to make though. Although i am a 3rd Brown in AM. Kenpo, I am so rusty that i have to start from the beginning again. Now Shane's instructor is take June through Aug off, so i will be buying him Kajukenbo videos. So do i continue with AM Kenpo, I have all the materials to 4th black, or jump into something new and do it with him.

BTW, what is the deal with kids not being able to learn from their Dad. I started Steven at around 4 and he kept at it until 6 then I didn't know what i was doing. Shane is the same way.

My Training today

Kick stretches

front blast
