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

PRANCE OF THE TIGER (FRONT - Right Step Through Uppercut Punch)

BASE TECHNIQUE

1. Slide your right foot back to 6:00 and form a left 45- degree cat stance facing 12:00 as you execute a left outward downward hooking parry to the inside of the opponent’s right elbow. Immediately follow this with a right inward downward block (palm up) to the inside of the opponent’s right arm (near his hand).
2. Immediately execute a left thrusting sweep kick to the opponent’s right shin.
3. Continue the flow of your action by delivering a right knife-edge kick to the inside of the opponent’s left knee. Simultaneously execute a right outward back knuckle strike to the opponent’s right temple. Your left hand continues to check.
4. From Point of Contact, execute a right front crossover sweep to the inside of the opponent’s right foot and plant into a twist stance. As you settle into your twist stance, deliver a right outward two-finger hook to his right eye. Your left hand is still checking his right arm.
5. Pivot counterclockwise and form a left reverse bow stance and convert it into a left spinning stiff-leg sweep toward 1:30 to the inside of the opponent’s right knee. Your left hand continues to check his arms.
6. Pivot counterclockwise and form a transitional left neutral bow stance facing 4:30 and immediately follow with a right knee kick to the opponent’s solar plexus. Simultaneously deliver a right inward overhead hammerfist trike to the back of his neck. Your left hand checks the opponent’s right shoulder.
7. Immediately switch your hands so that your right hand checks his right shoulder as you execute a left inward overhead hammerfist strike to the back of his head simultaneously with a left knee kick to the underside of his chin.
8. From Point of Contact execute a left front crossover toward 7:30 to form a right rear twist stance toward 1:30 as you deliver a left downward thrusting heel palm strike to the back of the opponent’s head.
9. Complete your crossover and double cover out toward 7:30.
