# Ed Parker American Kenpo: Flashing Mace

On January 20, 2026 By masterkenpodragon In Ed Parker American Kenpo, Techniques and Forms

FLASHING MACE (FRONT - Right step through punch)

BASE TECHNIQUE

1. With your left foot, step toward 11:00 and form a left neutral bow stance as you deliver a left inward block. Simultaneously cock your right arm above your right shoulder (palm out).
2. With your right foot, step toward 10:30 (forward step through maneuver) and form a right transitional neutral bow stance as you deliver a right inward downward diagonal back knuckle rake to the opponent’s right cheek bone or temple. Your left hand will positionally check.
3. Without hesitation, pivot counterclockwise 180-degrees to form a left neutral bow stance facing 4:30 as you deliver a left outward horizontal back knuckle strike to the opponent’s right lower ribcage. Simultaneously your right hand executes an inward palm bracing angle check against his right upper arm.
4. With your right hand, heck the opponent’s right arm down and pin it against his body. Immediately deliver a left upward hooking check (like a waiter carrying a tray) on top of the opponent’s right arm. Drop and form a left wide kneel stance as you continue the counterclockwise motion of your right arm and deliver a right inward overhead looping back knuckle strike to the opponent’s face or left temple.
5. Execute a left front crossover and double cover out toward 10:30.

EXTENSION

6. As you are completing your right inward overhead looping back knuckle strike, spin or pivot clockwise and form a right reverse bow stance toward 4:30 to buckle the back of the opponent’s right knee. As you are completing this motion, loop your right arm counterclockwise and deliver a right outward downward diagonal hammerfist strike to the opponent’s jaw.
7. As the opponent begins to fall, switch your right reverse bow stance (which has now become a left forward bow stance) into a left wide kneel stance as you deliver a left upward heel palm strike to the opponent’s back or neck as he falls.
8. Immediately slide your left foot toward 7:30 and form a right neutral bow stance as you deliver a right inward downward diagonal hammerfist strike to his mid-section as he falls.
9. Shuffle forward with your left foot (gauging leg) and deliver a right shovel kick.
10. From Point of Contact, execute a right front crossover (gauging leg) and deliver a left spinning low back heel kick or stomp to his head.
11. From Point of Contact, execute a left front crossover and double cover out toward 7:30.
