Kenpo Academy of Martial Arts

Evacuated people from the Creek Fire camped at Clovis North high school and across the street at Clovis Hills church. The smoke was thick. #kenpoeveryday

Today is my 57 birthday and i thought i’d challenge myself to do 57 forms for the occasion. Our system has 27 forms that I have learned. So if i do them all twice then do another set of 3 im set! So many have aided in my 57 year long journey, I wouldn’t be here with out the interconnectedness of all that have come into my life. The martial arts has been with me since age 15 and what a life it has given me. Thanks to my family for putting up with my obsession and for also training with me! Thanks to all those I have learned from both instructors and students!

Not really a pure Kenpo post today...this os for all those times you woke me up at 2am for a battery change!

More Kenpo Archive? I did sport a mullet back in the day! Me doing Pelican form. #kenpoforlife #kenpohair

Just a few photos from way back when the dojo first started some 16 years back up to now. These people helped me realize a dream by supporting me when I first opened. Thanks to all the hundreds of people all through the years that have helped keep the train rolling.

If you really want to see the details, or lack of detail, record yourself doing a form in slow motion and see whats right and what needs fixing. #kenpoeveryday #karate #formspractice

A few minutes of practice as you go through your day can make a big difference. Check out some examples here. #Kenpoeveryday #karateathome #practiceathome #karate

Use your home made targets and work on aiming where they fly as you strike them, similar to controlling a golf ball when you hit it. #kenpo #kenpoeveryday #kicks from the ground #practiceathome

I got a request for this form to be done slowly for practice at home, so here it is! #kenpoeveryday #formspractice #katapractice
