On January 21, 2026 By masterkenpodragon In Ed Parker American Kenpo, Techniques and Forms

THRUST INTO DARKNESS (REAR - Right Step Through Punch)

BASE TECHNIQUE

1. While standing naturally, quickly move off the Line of Attack and create distance by stepping toward 1:30 with your right foot and sliding your left foot toward your right foot to form a left reverse cat stance.
2. Execute a left thrusting back heel kick to the opponent’s stomach.
3. Plant your left foot toward 7:30 and immediately pivot counterclockwise to form a left neutral bow stance. Immediately deliver a right front snapping ball kick to the opponent’s chest or face. Plant your right foot forward and form a right neutral bow stance facing 7:30.
4. As the opponent stumbles backward, execute a left front crossover and deliver a right snapping knife-edge kick to the outside of his right knee (his forward leg).
5. Plant your right foot forward between the opponent’s legs and form a right neutral bow stance facing 7:30. Without loss of momentum, pivot clockwise and form a transitory right forward bow stance as you execute a right outward back knuckle strike to his left temple simultaneously with a left vertical punch to his spine.
6. Execute a right front crossover and single cover out toward 1:30.
7. Survey.
8. Noticing that your opponent may still pose a threat, execute a left rear crossover and deliver a right thrusting back heel kick (toward 7:30) to his back or any available target.
9. From Point of Contact, execute a right front crossover and double cover out toward 1:30.
