Jimmy's Kenpo Academy
Kenpo Karate is a martial art that teaches Self-Defence, through 3 primary methods: 1. self-defence techniques 2. forms/kata and 3. sparring/kumite.
Kenpo emphasises vital point attacks using punches, strikes and kicks.
Self-defence techniques help Kenpo students develop their skills by allowing them to practice with different threatening situations and experiment with what-if scenarios.
Initially, forms/katas help students to develop mental concentration and mental discipline. As they progress, the forms and katas help them to develop self-awareness and self-expression.
Kumite/freestyle sparring is an exercise in which students test their skills, self-confidence, and self-control in a friendly competition among other class mates. It gives the opportunity to develop their reflexes and timing in a controlled environment while engaging in a sport activity.
