# Ed Parker American Kenpo: Wings of Silk

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

WINGS OF SILK (REAR - Two Arm Lock (akimbo))

BASE TECHNIQUE

1. Deliver a left stomp kick to the opponent’s left instep as you simultaneously use your left hand to pinch the nerve located on the crest of his left hip.
2. Slip your right arm out of the opponent’s right arm as you deliver a right back obscure elbow strike to the opponent’s chin. Simultaneously execute a right back scooping heel kick to his groin.
3. Begin your 360–degree counterclockwise twirl foot maneuver by stepping with your right foot toward 9:00 (short step). At this point your right arm completely slips out of the opponent’s grip and your left arm pins his left arm against your body.
4. Continue twirling counterclockwise and plant your left foot toward 9:00 and form a right fighting horse stance facing 3:00 as you simultaneously deliver a right uppercut forearm strike against the opponent’s left elbow. Your left arm grabs his left wrist and anchors his left arm against your left hip to accentuate the effect of the uppercut forearm strike.
5. Execute a right front crossover and double cover out toward 10:30.

EXTENSION

5. Pivot clockwise and form a right neutral bow stance facing 3:00 as you deliver a right outward horizontal back knuckle strike through his left ribcage.
6. Deliver a right roundhouse kick to the back of his left knee as you simultaneously execute a right inward heel palm strike to the back of his head.
7. Grab his left hand with both of your hands and prepare for an outward wrist lock as your right foot plants down in front of his left foot.
8. Pivot clockwise and form a right forward bow stance facing 4:30 as you deliver a two-hand left outward bent arm wrist lock and immediately deliver a left thrusting knee kick to his groin.
9. Plant your left foot toward 11:00 and form a right fighting horse stance facing 4:30 as you deliver a right upward (palm up) heel palm strike to his right elbow as your left hand pushes down on his arm.
10. Pivot clockwise and form a right neutral bow stance facing 4:30 as you clear the opponent’s left arm from the inside with a right outward hooking parry. Continue to pivot clockwise and form a right forward bow stance facing 4:30 as you deliver a right outward horizontal finger slice across his eye and immediately follow with a left thrusting heel palm strike to the opponent’s jaw. Without hesitation, follow with a left thrusting knee kick to his groin followed by a left front snapping ball kick to his groin.
11. Execute a left front crossover and double cover out toward 10:30.
