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

CIRCLING DESTRUCTION (FRONT- Left step through punch)

BASE TECHNIQUE

1. With your right foot, step toward 1:00 and form a right neutral bow stance. As you step, defend with a right inward parry followed by a left outward parry on the outside of the opponent’s left arm. Continue the clockwise motion of your right arm and deliver a right outward back knuckle strike to his left lower ribcage as you settle into your stance.
2. Slide your left foot toward 4:30 and form a right forward bow stance facing 10:30 as you execute a left inward horizontal heel palm strike to the opponent’s face.
3. Pivot counterclockwise and form a right neutral bow stance facing 10:30 as you deliver a left inward claw across the opponent’s face followed by a right inward handsword strike to the left side of his neck as you settle into your stance.
4. Execute a right front scoop kick to the opponent’s groin from behind as you simultaneously deliver a left outward thrusting heel palm strike toward his left kidney.
5. Plant your right foot back to 4:30 and form a left neutral bow stance facing 10:30. Immediately execute a left front crossover and double cover out toward 4:30.

EXTENSION

5. Plant your right foot back to 4:30 and form a left neutral bow stance facing 10:30. Immediately deliver a right step through knife edge kick to the back of the opponent’s left knee. Plant forward and form a right neutral bow stance and deliver a right inward horizontal elbow strike to the right side of his neck.
6. Slide your left foot forward and form a left front twist stance as you deliver twin heel palm thrusts (right hand above left hand) to the opponent’s back to force him to fall onto his stomach with his head pointing toward 10:30.
7. Execute a right heel stomp to the opponent’s lower spine. While standing on his back with your right foot, execute a left front crossover stomp to the back of his neck.
8. Slip your left foot off to the left side of his head as you drop your right foot back off to the right side of his right hip. Drop into a left close kneel stance to deliver a right downward knee drop to his spine simultaneously with a right thrusting heel palm strike (fingers in) to the back of his head.
9. Using his back as a springboard, leap up into the air and turn clockwise to deliver a left inward downward looping roundhouse kick to his head.
