On January 19, 2026 By masterkenpodragon In Ed Parker American Kenpo, Techniques and Forms

THRUSTING SALUTE (FRONT - Right Thrusting Ball Kick)

BASE TECHNIQUE

1. With your right foot, step toward 4:30 to form a left neutral bow stance facing 10:30. Simultaneously deliver a left outward downward block to the inside of the opponent’s right leg. Immediately snap your left hand counterclockwise to a vertical position to act as a positional block with your left hand open. During the action, your right hand cocks near your right hip (palm up).
2. Immediately deliver a right front snapping ball kick to the opponent’s groin.
3. Plant your right foot toward 10:30 and form a right neutral bow stance as you deliver a right torquing
   (counterclockwise) heel palm strike to the opponent’s jaw. Your left hand acts a positional check near your right ribcage.
4. Execute a right front crossover and double cover out toward 4:30.

EXTENSION

4. Slide your left foot forward to form a left front twist stance as you deliver a left vertical thrust punch to the opponent’s solar plexus simultaneously with a right outward horizontal heel palm strike across his midsection.
5. Pivot clockwise to form a left neutral bow stance and deliver a left inward horizontal elbow strike to the
   opponent’s right ribcage as your right hand covers, palm out, in front of your face.
6. Pivot counterclockwise to form a left forward bow stance as you deliver a right chopping punch to the opponent’s left pubic bone. Your left forearm checks across the opponent’s mid-section to control his Width and Height
   Zones.

   temple.
8. Pivot clockwise and form a left neutral bow stance as you deliver a left inward overhead looping back knuckle punch (or strike) to the opponent’s left temple. Your right forearm drops down to check the opponent’s midsection.
