# Ed Parker American Kenpo: Reversing Mace

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

REVERSING MACE (FRONT - Left Step Through Punch)

BASE TECHNIQUE

1. From a right neutral bow stance, slide your left foot toward 4:30 and defend with a right inward parry followed by a left outward parry. As you settle into your stance, deliver a right outward horizontal back knuckle strike to the opponent’s left lower ribcage. Your left hand will end palm up on top of the opponent’s left arm like a waiter carrying a tray.
2. Immediately deliver a right inward downward looping roundhouse kick to the back of the opponent’s left knee.
3. From Point of Contact, execute a right front crossover and double cover out toward 4:30.

EXTENSION

3. From Point of Contact, plant your right foot toward 12:00 so that you end behind your opponent and immediately drag your left foot (gauging leg) toward your right foot and deliver a right knife edge kick (toward 10:30) to the inside of the opponent’s right knee.
4. From Point of Contact, plant your right foot toward 10:30 and immediately execute a left rear crossover to form a left rear twist stance as you simultaneously deliver a right outward overhead hammerfist strike to the opponent’s sternum. Your left hand checks his left arm and shoulder.
5. Pivot counterclockwise 360-degrees and form a left neutral bow stance to deliver a left outward back knuckle strike to the opponent’s right mastoid as you settle into your stance.
6. Execute a forward push-drag maneuver toward 6:00 and pivot counterclockwise to form a left forward bow stance as you deliver a right thrusting vertical punch to the opponent’s upper spine as your left hand checks his shoulder blades.
7. Immediately follow with a right knee kick to the opponent’s lower spine.
8. From Point of Contact, execute a right stomp to the opponent’s left ankle.
9. From the position of your right stomp, plant to the inside of the opponent’s left ankle. Execute a left front crossover and double cover out toward 12:00
