Stances
A good stance is the cornerstone for movements in the kenpo. If the stance is not good (solid), we will
not have balance or stability, so that we can not develop power in the strikes. The trunk must be
straight to act as a power transmitting shaft near the hip.
Firm: feet together and hands on the sides of the body.
Normal: foot - width apart shoulders and hands relaxed at your sides.
Rest: foot width apart shoulders and hands gripped from behind. I must admit that in my school this
stance is not used :-)
Rider: with half - width apart and shoulders and weight distributed 50-50, knees bent and facing
forward, hands and feet cocked at the waist. It is mainly used in static training (without displacements).
Neutral: from normal leg delayed so that an imaginary line through the big front toe of the back foot
ankle. The feet would be at an angle of 45 degrees with the front and slightly wider than the width of the
shoulders. The weight is distributed to 50%. The front arm covers the face and the rear the middle area.
With this stance we can both attack and defend ourselves and move. It can also be used to check the
attacker's knee, pressing with the outer face of our knee on the outer side of his.
Bow and Arrow: From neutral hip turn to the front while the rear foot turns at a time. The front knee is
kept bent and the back leg is stretched, with the heel firmly resting on the floor. The weight is divided
from 60-40 to 70-30. It is used to attack with delayed limbs. It brings hip rotation force twisting the coup.
Bow and arrow inside out : as above but turning his head back. It is a stance of transition.
Meditation: in rider, with his left hand over his right fist and arms at chest level.
Cat 90: facing forward and down at an angle of 90 ° and bent legs. The one who looks to the front only
supports the ball and is slightly ahead. The weight distribution is 10-90. It is a transition stance, for
example to fold back and throw a kick then.
45 Cat: as above, but with feet at an angle of 45 degrees and a little more defensive ..
Cross guard: There are two ways to do this , both starting from neutral. In the first, we move the back
leg, forward or behind the front; in the second, we turn the foot from front to outside (also the knee!). In
both cases, the legs are always flexed and when the front foot is finished it rests entirely on the ground
and the back only on the ball.
It is used to move, change direction and put power in little space (both when undoing the stance and
when doing it (2nd case)). If the rotational movement is accompanied by a downward motion, as if we
were a screw, power is further accentuated having married gravity .
Middle bow and arrow closed: from bow and arrow and bending the back knee until the foot is only
supported on the ball. Covers the central line of the legs. In some places they say that it also serves to
break or check knee.
Half arch and open arrow: from neutral, the knee bends back to lean on the ball of the foot and
rotated outward simultaneously.
Crane: being normal, got a foot to support the inner face of the knee of the other leg. It serves to take
distance in low kicks (knee, for example).
Dragon: like the bow and arrow backward, but lower (the stance). It is a transition stance prior to an
attack. Rotating and shifting weight forward reinforce the mass and increase the attack power. It is
reminiscent of Chinese kungfu.
As can be seen, changes in stance are usually carried out by turns, be it knee, ankle or hip. Although
there are also cases of changes by sliding (normal-rider) or taking a step (cross guard) or jumping
(change of side in a neutral).
Likewise, the displacements in the space can be done by sliding, taking steps or with crossed cross
guards.
Blocks
Americans differentiate between blocks, with the hand closed, and rejects or parries, with the open hand.
In Castilian we use the term blocking interchangeably.
The first thing that must exist to be able to block is an attack. If there is no attack there can be no
blockage. Blocking force faces hard to stop or deflect the strike, while at the rebound direct the force of
the strike to the attacker to redirect using the concept of force borrowed . It is easy to guess that
rejection requires much less force and power than a blockade, which can be used when the opponent is
far superior to us by weight, and therefore by force.
Keep in mind that we must leave a safety zone between the blockade and our body, because by
absorbing the strike we could give ourselves if the arm is very close to our body.
Rising block: we starting of the guard arm climbed palm facing face and rotated outward to the height
of the forehead. The elbow forms an angle of 135º and the arm with the axis of the head one of 45º, this
way we can deflect the strike that comes.
Middle block: an arm at right angles (90) with the forearm and cuff and chin level , palm face. Usually it
has a route of the axis of the body towards the side by which the attack arrives, ending with a twist of
wrist towards our body at the moment of the impact with the strike of the opposite.
Locking means inside out or inside-outside: as above, but with the wrist twist out (the outside) of
the body.
Cross blocking means: the blocking arm goes to the waist while the other checks. From that area
comes out of the arm that checks to the opposite side, finished at shoulder height and following a
diagonal. The palm of the hand looks inwards.
Lock down: the arm follows a diagonal from the height of the ear to the opposite knee. The palm of the
hand is always looking at our body, and the fist ends about 20 cm away from the knee.
Lock down (internal or external): in this locking hand part of the waist or hips and make a sweeping
movement from the side of the blocking arm to the opposite side inside, and the opposite outside. Inside
you can hit both the outer side of the forearm (palm of the hand towards the body) and the inner side
(palm toward the back).
Baseblock palm: is a downstream blockage in the base of the palm press down the strike coming below
the waist up.
Universal lock: from neutral stance, the lead arm makes a middle block and a downward delayed.
Covers the upper and middle part of the body. It is mainly used to deflect circular kicks.
Detour hand deflects out by a triangle, taking our body as a base. The movement is as if we wanted to
wipe the dust off the arm instead. (Note: If you 've seen Karate Kid is the "wax off "). As in the middle
block, there is an internal deviation (from the side of the arm that deflects to the opposite side) and an
external deviation (from the side opposite the side of the deflecting arm).
Pyramidal lock: the front arm deflects the attacker 's arm with the palm outward and delayed follows
the same movement out below and with the palm inward. The movement is circular in the vertical. It can
be considered a succession of two parries, followed by one inside one outside.
Locking blade (ascending or descending) while crossing forearms (ascending) is getting on or off
(down). It is used against frontal or descending kicks.
Check: strictly speaking is not a lock, but where better jibe. It can be done with both the hand / arm and
the knee / leg. It is used to prevent attacks by controlling the opponent's extremities.
Check - in tray: also I have seen as a detour, but I think that by adopting hand the same stance as if
we were a waiter and llevásemos a tray, what we are doing is to control the opponent 's arm and prevent
is lifted upwards.
Handstrikes
The strikes that are given with the hands are weapons of medium distance, medium-short. When the
distance is short and it is complicated to get enough distance, they are replaced by the elbows, so the
elbows are the equivalent of the punches at a shorter distance and so will be described here.
Many of these strikes are interchangeable, as their execution mechanics and striking area is the same,
especially hammer strikes and those of knife.
Punching
They are strikes that occur with the closed hand.
Front Punch: Fist out parallel to the ground, knuckles facing up. If it is executed with the arm delayed,
while leaving the fist change of neutral stance to arch and arrow.
Vertical or Chinese punch: as above, but with the knuckles facing the outside of the body.
Punch Circular is a vertical punch that follows a circular path.
Uppercut or hook upwards: starts with hand on one side and the strike goes up. Its white goes from
the stomach to the chin.
Hammer: Can run at different angles and directions, usually on the external side of the cuff (the pinky).
It can be ascending or descending; horizontal to the inside of our body, or to the outside; following a
circular or straight motion in a plane parallel to our body; and with both fists simultaneously, at the same
height or at different heights ..
Hammer reverse: a movement that begins circulated ahead of us, going down and the side and ends
behind us. Hit at the level of the genitals.
Knuckles: Knuckles hit with the back of his hand. The strike can go with different angles and directions.
Knuckles reverse: as above, but with the arm rotated 180 degrees.
Knuckle medium: knuckles runs out, and a vertical punch, but with the knuckle of the middle finger
advance over other knuckles. It can be run with a circular path or straight and at different angles.
Elbow Strikes
Horizontal: fist goes toward your chest if inside, or to the side of my body if I hit someone attacking me
sideways. It runs in a plane parallel to the ground. The interior can be accompanied by a strike with the
palm of the hand to the head, getting a sandwich effect.
Ascending: fist travels from our ear to the ground along a perpendicular path.
Descending: arm around the back pass and the opposing head and elbow is dropped down while hand
tightly closed. The normal thing is that previously the attacker has doubled in two with another strike.
Rear: elbow moves in a plane perpendicular to the ground and back, as if it were a cocking his hand on
her waist.
Kicks
The kicks are weapons of medium-long range. In shorter distances are the knees that replace the legs
and the knees replace the kicks.
The kicks can be executed in two ways: penetrating or striking. With a striking kick, the leg is knocked
and removed, landing in the original stance. It's like a whiplash. Meanwhile, with a penetrating kick, after
striking you gain ground by advancing the stance.
Front kick: up flexed knee and straight. When we reach about waist height we stretch the leg and hit
with the ball of the foot. In the penetrating strike we put hip to increase the power. If executed with the
front leg, the front foot is held back to a transient jack stance.
Roundhouse or instep: rapid method is run as a front kick starting, and once the knee is at the proper
height, pivoting on the supporting foot and hip meter. It strikes with the instep of the foot. The slow
system to execute it is to start it from behind and with the knee facing outwards. The contrincario
usually sees it from a distance, but if it is not so and you hunt it, it carries an impressive power.
Sidekick: once with knee to waist / hip, pivotamos on the kickstand until the attacker remains on one
side. We extend the leg and we hit with the heel. It is very important the hip rotation, to put power to
the strike. It can also be run from cross-guard.
Hook kick: started as if we give a side kick, but the pivot is made until the opponent is slightly behind
us. Then, after extending the leg, slightly bend the knee and hit with the heel.
Descending kick (indoor-outdoor or indoor-outdoor) extended leg up (nope !, knee slightly bent) along
a path that goes inside our body to the outside, or vice versa, and falls like an ax be on the head or
shoulder of the opponent, with the back of the heel.
Kick back: the "coz". The attacker is behind us. We bring the hind foot forward and raise the leg. It hits
with the heel. The name is approximate, because in my school does not train ex-professo.
Kick bucket (front or back) on the front leg up to genitals and after engaging with the foot pulls us; in
the back, what hooks is the heel.
Patada rabbit: is a kick given to an opponent who attacked us from behind. Unlike the back kick, the
strike is when you bend your knee and not when you stretch your leg.
Spinning kicks: Right turn: turn back keeping his eyes on the opponent and reaching a bow and arrow
inside out . The back leg goes straight, as in the back kick.
Lateral and hook: when turning back we are in a half bow and arrow of the back or cross
guard. The leg comes out straight and then pivoted on the support foot and hip to
execute the corresponding kick.
Jump kicks: the implementation of the kicks is during the jump, while still in the air. It can be frontal,
circular or lateral (the leg that does not hit is bent under the other, it is very peliculer).
Front knee: a bow and arrow or neutral, unlike grabbed his neck and pull him toward us.
Simultaneously we raise to the knee to hit in the middle of the trunk. Obviously, pulling him to us is
optional, but the damage is greater if we do.
Circular knee: goes as if it were to give a circular kick and hits the rib area or kidney or muscle
packages legs.
Another option, which could be considered as a blockage, is the use of the tibia to strike against the
opponent's tibia. It is recommended to have a strong tibia, as the pain can be quite strong.
And lastly, life-long stomps can help us break the opponent's attention and get us the time to hit hard,
and the sweeps make him lose his balance and give us a good lead to take the attack.

17. Bring your legs together as you make a double up and end hook.
Tiger in Tension
This is a form, or set, created in Spain by Raúl Gutiérrez, for what we have been told. Its name comes
from the claws that are realized throughout the whole form, and also that the movements are made
breathing slowly and in tension instead of power, except for the kick.
The form is almost completely made in a rider very wide and lower than normal.
1. Starting from the normal stance, take a left step to a rider and make a horizontal right claw (the palm
facing down) and a left vertical claw (as in a check) slowly moving from right to left.
2. Reverse the movement by making a left horizontal jaw and a vertical right jaw from left to right.
3. Cross your hands as you climb and descrúzalas at the level of the head to execute double descending
claws.
4. Make double descending claws (hands go parallel).
5. Back at 6:00 to 1:00 dragon very low. Make a right ascending claw and a left check (rounding
corners) simultaneously (with a circular movement clockwise), and follow the movement until both
hands are parallel and facing (left over right). End the movement by tearing with both hands. The
right hand should be back and up, ready to attack; and left, down and forward, checking.
6. Rotate counterclockwise to a left bow and arrow, cross hands as they rise and unravel at head level
to make double downward claws. He kicks high front and lands smoothly at 3:00, on a rider.
7. Make double descending claws.
8. Continue with horizontal left claw and right vertical claw from left to right, as in 2.
9. Continue with horizontal right claw and left vertical claw from right to left, as in 1.
10. Wave with the right palm on the left fist and close.

While describing the stances write that the foot ends in x, by which I mean that the final stance looks at
x, leaving the foot actually in the relative stance corresponding to the stance in question.

which ends at the sides.
In the second series, the middle blocks are made looking at 3:00 and the ascenders at 9:00.
Alternatively, changes of direction can be made by joining the hind foot with the front and then
separating it again, drawing an isosceles triangle.
Long Form 1
1. Rewind with the left leg to a neutral, while doing a medium block with the right. The left
hand is cocked at the waist (as if you elbowed back). Immediately switch to bow and arrow,
turning the hip, and punch straight right.
2. Take the right leg to a cat at the same time you make a right middle block.

downward block with the right and turn left. Switch to bow and arrow while giving a direct left.
10. Go back to the right with a neutral while executing a downward lock with the left
and right turners. Execute a straight right by switching to bow and arrow to develop more power.
11. Still in the same position make three middle blocks with alternating arms (all
series to the end of the form are with alternating arms, with the arm not locking cocked to the
side), starting with the left.
12. Go back to the left with a neutral and start the three middle blocks this time with
the right arm.
13. Look to the right (at 9:00) and move the left foot at 3:00 until neutral. Start the

others that start with the right.
20. Continue with three downward-facing inner blocks with the palm to the opposite,
followed by three downward palm-base blocks.
21. Continue with two direct punches to the front (in my school would start with the
right), followed by two punches crossed at 45º angles and another two to the sides (optionally to
the sides and back).
22. Continue with two front uppercut that reach chest height and switch to meditation.
23. Finish joining the left foot to the right while the arms make a circular movement
over the head, which ends at the sides.
Short Form 2
The direction of the gaze indicates where you have to face, for you are supposed to be following with
your eyes the opponents who are attacking you.
All transitional cats wear a hand cocking at the hip, as described in points 3 and 4.
1. Advance to a neutral right as you make a middle right block that follows an
external corner hit. The left hand checks at the height of the ribs.
2. Advance to a left neutral while doing a middle left lock that follows an external
corner hit. The right hand checks at the level of the ribs.
3. Look to the left (at 9:00) and, with a cat transition in which you pin the right
hand to the waist and the left (palm down) on it, it changes to a left bow and arrow at the same
time as you a right front punch and you make a left outer middle lock simultaneously.
4. Look to the right (at 3:00) and, with a transition in cat in which you tie your left
hand to the waist and the right (palm down) on it, it changes to a right bow and arrow at the
same time as you a left front punch and you make a right outer middle block simultaneously.
5. Look to the right (at 6:00) and, following a cat transition, take your left foot at
5:30 to a half open bow and arrow. Simultaneously do a left upward lock and a downward right
middle knuckle punch.
6. Look to the right (at 12:00) and, through a cat transition, take your right foot at
12:30 to a half open bow and arrow. Simultaneously make a right upward lock and a downward
left middle knuckle punch.
7. Keeping still the same height, look to the right (at 4:30) and turn, passing a
transitional cat, moving the left foot to a neutral at the same time that you make a left downward
lock followed by a check with that same hand . We then proceed to a neutral right while we hit the
base of the palm at the level of the face with the right hand, which was previously cocked at the
hip. The left hand is checked at a medium level.
8. Look to the right (at 7:30) and turn, going through a transitional cat, moving the
right foot to a neutral at the same time you make a right downward lock followed by a check with
that same hand. We then proceeded to a neutral left while we hit the base of the palm at the level
of the face with the left hand, which was previously cocked at the hip. The right hand is checked
at a medium level.
9. Rotate 180 degrees clockwise (at 1:30) while delaying your right foot to a cat,
while making a middle left lock and bolt the right hand to the hip. He then advances to a neutral
right at the same time that you make a right upward block and give a leopard claw blow or left
spear point to the opponent's face height.
10. Look to the left (at 10:30) and delay your left foot to a cat, while you make a half
right block and tie the left hand to the hip. He then advances to a left neutral at the same time as
you make a left upward lock and give a leopard claw blow or right spear point to the opponent's
face height.
11. Move your right foot in V to a rider (looking at 0:00) while your right fist is closed
on the left palm in meditation position, and ends up joining the left foot to the right while the
arms make a circular movement on the head, which ends at the sides.
There are schools that just before the downward blocking of steps 7 and 8, make an inner downward
block (palm up) with the opposite arm at the beginning of the movement.
2. Good balance - It is enhanced by a straight posture. The body, as well as the joints, should be
relaxed and flexible to ensure a good balance. It also prevents one from leaning and leaving behind the
blow.
3. Relaxation - Relaxing improves balance. When the body is relaxed, it becomes flexible, allowing you
to react quickly when attacking or defending. It helps enormously in the acceleration of the blows.
4. Speed - It is one of the primary ingredients of the skill, and must be accompanied by precision.
Although this combination takes precedence over power, speed can contribute in gain to increase it.
5. Precision - Backed by speed is extremely necessary to get maximum benefit. It involves two aspects:
accuracy of movements and precise targets. Many vital areas do not require amount of force to achieve
immobilization. To ensure accuracy as well as effect, striking with the proper angle is of utmost
importance.
6. Angles - Proper angles ensure accuracy, body alignment and movement economy. Studying the
Universal Pattern will give a deeper understanding of the vast number of possible angles. It should be
remembered that any angle that can be used in defense can also be used in attack by both the attacker
and the defender.
7. Body alignment - Put the angles in perspective. It causes the different parts of the body to
coordinate and move in one direction (or in opposite directions). It is nothing more than angles in
harmony moving to the same target (or directly opposing targets) in the hope of maximizing blockages
and blows (or a combination of both).
8. Reinforced mass - It is the result of correct body alignment. When it happens, the weight of the
body is positioned in line with, and behind, the action that is taking place.
9. Economy of movement - It involves avoiding useless angles, and managing strength (power) to get
the best of your efforts in the shortest possible time. It makes you aware that time is of the essence.
11. Telegraphy - It can be used as a feint or so as to deceive the adversary and his thought patterns. It
is also a form of body language that can go against one when warning the opponent of the atauqe. Of
course, this depends on the degree of awareness of telegraphy.
12. Coordination - This process involves the synchronization of body (force), mind and breath, so that
it is reached harmoniously and instinctively. It often does not refer to a single movement, but to a series
of movements in a given period of time.
13. Concentration or targeting - when they are made to coincide mind, body, breath and power. It
ends at the exact moment a specific target is blocked or hit.
14. Power - It is the multiplication of force, aided by targeting. Its capacity is proportional to the
physical force and the energy used.
15. Twisting - It is a preliminary stage to concentration that adds power. It is the use of rotational force
or torque to allow greater movement, extension and body fluidity to increase power without the need for
displacements in space.
16. Body moment - It is the concept that uses the moment, or inertia, to increase the power. It is the
unity of mind, breath and strength when moving the body weight either forward or backward, when the
center of gravity falls or when the body rotates.
17. Marriage with gravity - It is the concept that indicates the use of gravity to increase power. It is
the one of mind, breath and strength when lowering the center of gravity of the body.
18. Penetration - Refers to depth of focus. It is the extension of the power beyond the selected target
to ensure the desired force and compensate the distance.
19. Transition - They are the movements between movements, or stages between movements that
close the distance between defenses or offenses. In many cases it is the stage that turns defense into
offense and vice versa.
20. Distance - It can be both ally and enemy. It is a crucial factor, only minor than the environment.
Success or failure in combat is often determined by the ability to close or create the distance between
one and the other.
21. Outbound Cross Guard - It is a form of transition that leads to a combat guard position. It is an
evasive transition that checks the opponent's actions and places you in a preparatory position to defend
or attack once more from a safe distance.
BASIC PRACTICE TECHNIQUES (1)
Basic kicks are the basis for the best leg techniques of any martial art. if basic kicks can not be executed
correctly, then advanced kicks will not be optimal and the martial artist will never reach his maximum
kicking potential. The key to good kicks is the correct technique, supported by physical requirements that
depend on the location of the target.
Among the basic techniques of kicking (chagi sool) in Kuk sool woon there are: 3 kicks with the stretched
leg and 5 techniques with the bent leg. These 8 form the basis of all other kicking techniques.
The three kicks with the straight leg are an ax kick, a straight kick in, and a kick straight out.
The kicks with the bent leg are actions that include five joints: the instep, the knee, the hip, the lumbar
region and the shoulder joint. These five joints are much more important than muscle, since the muscle
is indirectly attached to the joints. If the joints are not aligned correctly, neither will the muscles. These 5
joints must be aligned in the correct position depending on the kick that is executed.
The five kicks with the bent leg are:
- Front kick: This is a kick with the knee bent to give the foot that hits much more speed. The
penetration force derived from the control of the knee, is what separates and differentiates a frontal kick
from a kick made by a player.
The knee must be lifted and at least reach a height parallel to the floor. if raised a little higher and taken
to the roof will have greater efficiency. Even a pimple kick will be much more powerful and will have
more speed if the knee starts at a point higher than the target.
Some contend that the percutaneous frontal kick is much more effective than the penetrating frontal kick.
Unfortunately, kicking kicks are not very beneficial to the knee joints. They over-extend the knee and the
damage progressively increases in a short period of time. When the joint is injured, the career of the
martial artist is injured. The penetrating kicks on the other hand, are slow enough that they can be
caught by fellow combatants. However self defense applications are minimal.
With the knee high enough and the 5 joints correctly aligned, a front kick can have the speed of a
striking kick and the penetrating power of a penetrating kick.
- Side Kick: The side kick offers more varieties than the front kick. The reason: the position of the foot.
At the beginner level the kicking area of the side kick is the sole of the foot. When you get a higher skill
you can get a lot more strength by hitting with the heel.
Finally in the advanced level the foot song is the striking surface. This zone of maximum strength to side
kick.
The knee should be raised to get an effective side kick. To concentrate the force, the heel should point to
the target and in line with the hip. The side kick can be equally dangerous for the knee joint. Also, the
heel should be pointed toward the ground, forcing the energy to go in the same direction. The technique
is effective only if the target is located directly below the heel.
- The circular kick: the striking surface is the upper part of the foot, the pad under the fingers, the
fingers or in special cases the lower part of the heel. Even the pimple can become an effective beating
surface in close combat situations.
A circular kick is usually executed with the back leg. The knee should be raised as high as possible, the
body pivoted towards the target and that is when the kick is executed. The five joints we emphasize
above must be in line when the kick is executed. When training in the air or against sacks, the circular
kick can be made in a semicircle. When combat, the full kick must be used to obtain a higher speed.
However, the kick must be stopped for a second when we are training with a light object or against the
air. This provides that the power goes through the body and enters the target. It also prevents
overextensions in the knee allowing that energy to flow from the kicking leg.
- Kick back: Some Korean martial arts systems do not distinguish between side kicks and back kicks. A
side kick or side kick towards back is performed when the kicker turns from his front with the opponent
and later rotates his hips to direct the kick. The real kick is when the hips are kept straight and the knee
stays parallel to the ground.
If what we want are high kicks, then the back side kick is the one we should use. A true back kick should
not be performed at a height higher than the waist level. If executed at a higher level, there is less
contact, and the force that should be kicked must be used to stabilize the body.
- Hook Kick: The body is shrunk in the same position used for the side kick. The difference is that a half
circle is executed when executing the hook kick, while the side kick is thrown directly towards the target.
The hitting area for a hook kick is the ridge of the foot. Some use the heel by their penetrating force.
Even the lower part of the foot or both can be interesting tapping surfaces.
Remember the basic kicks determine the effectiveness of advanced kicks.
