On January 22, 2026 By masterkenpodragon In Ed Parker American Kenpo, Techniques and Forms

ENTWINED MACES (FRONT - Left & Right Punch Combination)

BASE TECHNIQUE

1. Step back with your left foot to form a right neutral bow stance facing 12:00 as you execute a right inward handsword parry to the outside and top of the opponent’s left arm. Immediately flow into a right extended outward handsword to the outside of the opponent’s right arm. Your left hand checks at solar plexus level.
2. Grab the opponent’s right wrist with your right hand and pull his arm diagonally downward past your right hip as you execute a forward push-drag maneuver ending in a right forward bow stance as you deliver a left vertical punch to the opponent’s face.
3. Pivot counterclockwise to form a right neutral bow stance as you deliver a right thrusting inward handsword strike to the left side of the opponent’s neck as his jugular vein. Your left hand acts as a positional check against his right arm.
4. Execute a left rear crossover and immediately have your right foot step out to form a right reverse bow stance facing 1:30 to buckle the inside of the opponent’s left knee. Simultaneously deliver a right downward hammerfist strike to the opponent’s groin. Your left hand positionally checks over your right shoulder.
5. Pivot clockwise and form a right front rotating twist stance (in-place) facing 12:00 as you deliver a right raking vertical outward back knuckle strike to the right side of the opponent’s face or nose. Immediately deliver a left thrusting heel palm strike to the opponent’s sternum with a left knee kick to this groin.
6. Plant your left foot toward 6:00 and form a right neutral bow stance facing 12:00 as you deliver a right inward downward hammerfist strike to the opponent’s left collar bone. Your left hand positionally checks near your solar plexus.
7. Immediately execute a left rear crossover and execute a right back thrusting heel kick to the opponent’s solar plexus.
8. From Point of Contact, execute a right front crossover and double cover out toward 6:00.
