Side Break Fall and Get Up
Falling to the side is an important skill to have. The key to falling with confidence is reps. The goal is that when you fall unexpectedly, you can get up quickly without injury. Our “Get Up” is done with defense set as top priority.
Rolling Back Fist
A great thing about flow drills is REPS! The Rolling Back fist flow drill offers extensive practice. It helps in throwing a back-fist and performing a rear foot forward block.
Working with a partner is what Kempo is all about. Key points is the keep elbow below the hand, during the retraction. Rotating the hips as a counter turn during the back-fist.
Line Drill
Tiger Kicks
Tiger kicks go from a lunge stance directly into a front ball kick. Hands can be on guard or chambered. For an extra workout, hover the bent knee instead of resting it on the mat.
