Meaning of Osu
Osu! in Karate comes from the expression Oshi Shinobu which means to push oneself to the limit of ones ability and yet to continue, to persevere under pressure, and to endure.
It is used as a word of many meanings, expressing the willingness to strive against all odds, to perserve on the road to physical, mental, and spiritual strength, an expression of respect of ones seniors and responsibility to ones juniors. It is pronounced Oss, Oosh. In our systems it is also a greeting and can be used to replace words such as, yes, alright, good, Ill do it and excuse me. It is also used to mean hello, goodbye, have patience with me, Im trying, well done, and just about anything else. When give a command in the dojo we give the word Osu as an answer. Osu is the spirit of Karate. Osu

Kenpokai is build up out of the characters of the Tiger and the Dragon:
The tiger is real and feared for its great force and power, its will to survive and kill. He has great survival skills. He knows no fear and doesnt walk away for danger and actions. But he sometimes reacts to soon and doesnt think in the best ways. The dragon is not known to have really exist. The dragon is legendary and mythical, fought by legendary knights. The dragon has good and bad forces, but hes very wise. The dragon stands for immortality. The dragon is also very strong but hes more wise and knows more about his actions. The dragon thinks, the tiger reacts.
Grandmaster Masutatsu Oyama 10th Dan Founder Kyokushin Kai Karate

Mas Oyama (Korea) learned Chinese Kempo and Japanese Shotokan Karate. Out of these two systems and his other learnings in the martial arts, he formed the strongest Karate Style ever Kyokushinkai Karate the Ultimate Truth. Kyokushin soon became a strong and feared full contact way of stand up fighting with great force and knowledge. The tests of kumite fights against 5 to 100 people made it unique and very hard. Grandmaster Oyama founded the International Kyokushin Kai Organization and had many famous students like: Akiyoshi Matsui, Jon Bluming and Kenji Kurosaki. Grandmaster Oyama gave many demonstrations of Kyokushin all over the world. He was called the God hand and died in 1994.

Kenpokai Allround Full Contact Karate is formed out of the following seperate systems:
Kyokushinkai Karate Ashihara Karate Full Contact Karate Jujutsu / Sambo Kenpo (Kempo) Karate
Kenpokai Allround Full Contact Karate (kafck) is NOT a SPORT Karate system, but a real combat self-defence fighting art. We also have a sport-competition system of Kyokushinkai and Ashihara Full Contact Karate tournament fighting, national and international. But the main division is combat self-defence fighting.
The difference between:
Kenpokai Allround Karate Kenpokai Allround Full Contact Karate KAK= For people who dont have a degree in Full Contact Karate (Kyokushin Budokai, Ashihara) KAFCK= For people who do have a degree in Full Contact Karate (Kyokushin Budokai, Ashihara)
In general the system is called KAFCK, but on the certificates the difference will be written.
Certificates
PKKS issued certificates are aviable in two types: 1 Paper version 2 Digital version You can get a certificate only by realtime testing. Except high ranking Honorary Grades
What do you learn in Kenpokai?

What do or can you learn in Kenpokai? The Kenpokai system that we offer at the PKKS, is a very complete system with many subdivisions. The first thing you learn in Kenpokai are the basic moves Kihon: stances, blocking, striking, punching, kicking and falling. After that you learn the prearranged techniques and training sets Katas or Forms. After this comes the Kumite or Free fighting in different levels like: combat, self-defence, competition or demonstration. Kenpokai is an art, not a sport. You learn to use youre body and mind as one unit. It is an unique way of working with ourself and other people. When learning weapon techniques, you go a step further in mastering the Kenpokai movements to the limit. Kenpokai is open minded.

History Karate
Karate came from many different fighting arts in the World. From India (Kshatriya warrior class), then to China (Chuan Fa / Kempo), then to Okinawa (Tote / Chuan Fa) and then to Japan were it met with Sumo, Jujutsu, Kenjutsu and other Samurai fighting systems. Then they called it Kara Te, Empty Hand.
History Kyokushinkai Karate

Sosai (President) Masutatsu Oyama, the founder of Kyokushin Karate, was born in southern Korea in 1923. While living at his sisters farm in Manchuria at the age of nine, he began his lifelong journey along the martial way when he began studying the southern Chinese form of Kempo known as "Eighteen Hands". When Mas Oyama returned to Korea at the age of 12, he continued his training in Korean Kempo. In 1938, at the age of 15, Mas Oyama moved to Japan to train as an aviator, and continued his martial arts training by participating in Judo and Boxing. Shortly afterwards, he began training at the dojo of Ginchin Funakoshi, who had brought Karate from Okinawa to Japan and developed what is now known as Shotokan Karate. Mas Oyama's training progressed so rapidly that by the age of 17, he was a Nidan (2nd Dan), and by the age of 20, he was a Yondan (4th Dan) in Shotokan. At this point, Mas Oyama took a serious interest in Judo, and in less than four years he achieved the rank of Yondan in Judo as well. After the end of World War II, Mas Oyama began training under So Nei Chu, one of the highest authorities in Japan of Goju Ryu, an Okinawan Karate style. So Nei Chu, renowned for the power of his body as well as his spiritual insight, encouraged Mas Oyama to dedicate his life to the Martial Way. He suggested that Mas Oyama retreat from civilization for three years to train his mind and body without the distractions of the outside world. Around this time, Mas Oyama also met Eiji Yoshikawa, the author of the novel Musashi, which was based on the life and exploits of Miyamoto Musashi, Japan's most famous Samurai warrior. Both the novel and the author helped to teach him the meaning of Bushido, the Way of the Warrior. That same year, Mas Oyama went to Mount Minobu in Chiba Prefecture, where Musashi had developed his style of sword fighting. Mas Oyama thought that this would be an appropriate place to begin the rigorous training he had planned for himself. Accompanied by a student, he went into the wilderness to train, with a friend bringing them food supplies once a month. After six months of training, his student was unable to handle the solitude and secretly fed during the night, leaving Mas Oyama completely alone to continue his training. After fourteen months of training in the wilderness, his friend informed Mas Oyama that he could no longer provide the monthly supplies of food, and Mas Oyama had to return to civilization. A few months later, in 1947, Mas Oyama won the Karate section of the first Japanese National Martial Arts Championships after World War II. However, still feeling empty for not having completed the three years of solitude, he decided to dedicate his life completely to Karate. Once again Mas Oyama left civilization for 11
the wilderness, this time going to Mount Kiyozumi, also in Chiba Prefecture, which he chose for its spiritually uplifting environment. This time his training was fanatical 12 hours a day, every day, with no rest days, standing under cold waterfalls, breaking river stones with his hands, using trees as makiwara (striking boards), jumping over rapidly growing flax plants hundreds of times each day. Each day also included a period of study of the ancients classics on the martial arts, Zen, and philosophy. After eighteen months of rigorous training, Mas Oyama returned to civilization fully confident in himself and able to take control of his life. In the 1950s, Mas Oyama began demonstrating his power and skill by fighting bulls. In all, he fought 52 bulls, three of which he killed instantly and 49 of whose horns he took off with shuto (knife hand) strikes. In 1952, Mas Oyama travelled throughout the United States for a year, demonstrating his Karate live and on national television. During subsequent years, he took on all challengers, resulting in fights with 270 different people. He defeated the vast majority of his opponents with just one technique. A fight never lasted more than three minutes, and rarely lasted more than a few seconds. Mas Oyama's fighting technique was based on the Samurai warriors' principle of "Ichi geki hissatsu", or "One strike, certain death". If he got through to you, the fight was over. If he hit you, you broke if you blocked his punch, your arm was broken or dislocated, if you didn't block it, your rib was broken. Because of his strength and skill, he became known as "the God hand". In 1953, Mas Oyama opened his first "dojo" on a grass lot in Tokyo. In 1955, he opened his first real dojo in a former ballet studio behind Rikkyo University. In 1957, the name "Kyokushin", or "Ultimate Truth", was adopted for Mas Oyama's Karate organization, which had 700 members by then, despite the high drop-out rate due to the severity of training. Practitioners of other styles also came to train here for the jis-sen kumite (full contact fighting). Mas Oyama would observe those from other styles and adopt any techniques that would be useful in a fight. By doing so, Kyokushin Karate evolved into one of the most formidable style of martial arts in the world. It soon became known as "The Strongest Karate", not only because of the incredible feats of strength and endurance that Mas Oyama performed, but also because of the rigorous requirements of the training and tournaments. In order to test his own abilities, Mas Oyama decided to perform a three hundred man kumite (fight) in three days. He chose the strongest students in his dojo to fight him one at a time. After each had a turn, they started from the beginning again until all three hundred fights were completed. Each student had to face Mas Oyama about four times over the three days, though some never made it past the first day due to Oyama's powerful blows. He defeated all of his opponents, never wavering in his resolve, despite the fact that he was injured in the process. Legend has it that Mas Oyama was willing to go for a fourth day, but no opponents were willing or able to do so. Since its inception, Kyokushin Karate has spread to more than 120 countries, with more than twelve million practitioners, making it one of the largest martial arts styles in the world. Sadly, Mas Oyama (a non-smoker) died of lung cancer in 1994. Mas Oyama's unexpected death left his organization, the International Karate Organization (IKO), in a very confused state. Prior to his death, he stated in his will that Yukio Nishida would be his successor to lead the IKO, but on his deathbed he apparently named Akiyoshi
12
Matsui, then Godan (5th Dan). This has resulted in a splintering of the IKO into a number of groups, each of which claims to be the true successor to Mas Oyama's organization.
History Kenpokai Karate

Like all martial arts, Kenpokai can be traced back to ancient China, namely the Shaolin-szu (Japanese: Shorin-Ji) method of boxing (Kempo). The Shao-lin-szu method of fighting with fists (Kempo) is thought to have been invented by the Indian priest Bodhidharma, who is known in Japanese as Daruma, in the fifth or sixth century. Part of Shaolin-szu Kempo training involved light meditation and yoga practice, as well as the basics kicking and punching. Kempo was travelled into the Ryu Kyu Islands of Okinawa. Even the Okinawan Karate masters have no clear record as to when Kempo actually came to their country. One possibility is one Sakugawa of the city of Shui, travelled to China for the purpose of bringing Kempo back to his home country. There are many other theories on how Kempo came to the Okinawan Islands. The inhabitants of the Ryu Kyu Islands did not receive the original style of Shaolin-szu Kempo. They combined a number of Chinese Kempo techniques and added their own individual skills, to form the Okinawan Karate or Okinawa-Te (Tote). The people of Okinawa use the simple word of Te instead of the Japanese word of Karate. When the art came to Japan from Okinawa, it was written with the meaning empty (Kara) hand ( 'te' ) - KARATE. From then onward the arts of Kempo and Karate began a new revolution. It involved the practice of kicking and punching in theory - (do) and in practice - (jutsu). Kempo played a major role in developing major fighting strategies of all the Japanese arts. Basically the belief could be that Kempo was the first Form of any martial art. Today's Kempo as in the teachings of Kenpokai Karate, is a style designed for todays fighting needs. A style dedicated to implementing traditional dojo values and being effective out in the modern streets of today's society. Kenpokai Karate teachings are based on the traditional values of the past great masters of Kempo and many other arts, that all students continue to learn the way of the warrior - BUSHIDO, in education/studies, have respect, integrity and to continue in perfecting oneself. Kenpokai Karate teachings will strive to teach all the basics of humanity morals, respect and striving for perfection. Kenpokai Karate is more than a style, it is a philosophy. It is tailored to the person. Kenpokai Karate teachings will strive to hold the Kempo philosophy.
Kenpokai Karate is dedicated to teach all that's possible, to all of its students and to continue to develop, to continue to improve, because Kenpokai Karate states that not one person or
13
school has all the answers. In Kenpokai Karate striving for that goal of knowledge is the major factor for its success in the practice of the art. The Way of Kenpokai Karate is to direct all possible actions towards self improvement and self-defence. The art of Kenpokai Karate is a fast flowing style famous for its fast, effective and dynamic hands strikes. Leg strikes support rather than dominate any situation. An effective selfdefence program exists to ensure that Kenpokai Karate is the leader of practical and effective self-defence. The style has the basic of full contact Karate training (Kyokushinkai Karate).
Kenpokai Evolution
Some years back I started to get really unhappy with our Kempo Karate and Kenpo Karate styles. I trained and studied with some great Kempo and Kenpo Masters but something was still missing. I already studied and fought in Full Contact Karate styles like Kyokushinkai Karate and Ashihara Karate, so I wanted to combine the Kempo and Kenpo systems with the Full Contact styles. Not everyone was very happy with that, but they should not be afraid of the evolution of the Martial Arts. So I started to work on the PKKS Kenpokai Karate Systems a mix of Kempo, Kenpo, Karate, Jujutsu and Full Contact. First I got support of Master Velin Hadjolov a great Kyokushinkai Karate Fighter from Bulgaria who developed and founded Bulgarian Kempo, and second I got support from the great Russian Kyokushinkai Karate Grandmaster Yuriy Kostrov who developed Agni Kempo and Kostrovs Universal Fisticuffs. Both combined Kyokushinkai Karate with Kenpo, Kempo and Jujutsu mixed with theyre own culture. But after a while I went my own way. I kept on searching for an organization who could give me what I wanted and needed. On one day I contacted Grandmaster Jon Bluming. He was very open and friendly to me and gave me a chance to enter his IBK International Kyokushin Budokai Kan. After two years I left the IBK of Kaicho Bluming and joined the IBK International Budo Kai Foundation of Kancho Gerard and Hanshi Nico Gordeau.
A Martial Arts School , DOJO

The Martial Arts building or classroom is called dojo. A unique training space for martial artists founded out of the ancestor The Buddhist Temple, religious monks (fighting monks) came here to practise their religion. A dojo has a training floor, pictures or altar with images of our martial ancestors, or buddhist signs, because martial arts and buddhism are some much alike. A dojo is for everyone to fall back on and to seek protection, a safe and familiar atmosphere. A dojo should be clean and open for everyone.

The legend of the Belt

Some styles and systems use or used the following ranking system of belts: whitebelt, brownbelt and blackbelt. There was nothing in between. There is a certain legend about the use of this system. People started with the whitebelt, during hard training it turned brown after many years of hardship. A long long time after that, the brownbelt became black. And from black it turned white again after even a longer time. Of course this is a legend. You can try to resolve it. But its true a blackbelt turns to white after long and hard use.

Kihon
In general in kafck we use the Kyokushinkai Karate Kihon. But the main difference is that we also use other martial arts Kihon excercises.

Jujutsu
In kafck we use Jujutsu takedown and grappling. Also we use Russia Sambo techniques. But in kafck you are also allowed to strike, hit, punch, kick and keep on fighting on the floar. You can do every lock or movement.
Kata
In kafck we use Kata but not in the belt-program. We have special Kata lessons in the dojo for students who want to learn Kata. Kata = Shape or Form Kata = sequence of blocks, kicks and punches from one of more stances, involving movement forward, backward and to the sides. The number of movements and their sequence are very specific. The balance between offensive and defensive techniques, the stances used and the direction and flow of movement all serve to give each kata its distinctive character. Through the practice of Kata, the traditional techniques Balance, coordination, breathing and concentration are also are an excellent physical exercise and a very effective conditioning. Kata embodies the idea of ren ma, or always used for fighting are learned. developed. Done properly, Kata form of total mind and body polishing with diligent practice,
39
the moves of the Kata become further refined and perfected. The attention to detail that is necessary to perfect a Kata cultivates self discipline.
Through concentration, dedication and practice, a higher level of learning may be achieved, where the Kata is so ingrained in the subconscious mind that no conscious is needed. This is what the Zen masters call mushin, or no mind. The conscious, rational thought practice is not used at all what was once memorized is now spontaneous.
Mas Oyama said that one should think of Karate as a language the Kihon (basics) can be thought of as the letters of the alphabet , the Kata (forms) will be the equivalent of words and sentences, and the Kumite (fighting) will be analogous to conversations.
Time between Belts

There are 9 stages between the red and the blackbelt. In most cases it will take about 6 years in general for 1st Dan. But of course there are students who are faster and better.
Whats the meaning and purpose of Grading?

The purpose of belt grading and titles are to simulate the way education works in any field. It is a recognized structure that tends to measure loyalty and time spent. The person makes the art, so it is the instructors prerogative how they want to teach. The choice is traditional to non-traditional. The meaning behind any belt is the person that gave it. The better the lineage, the more meaning in time. Many students do not care about testing. They merely want to get their feet wet or collect to make their own system. Only if they test yearly and put back into the system periodically they are the truly friends who do not only care for the information, but also care about the instructors well being. When rank is given, it cannot be taken away, thus the need to have rapid reasoning, quick judgment and discernment of spirit. It is much harder for a teacher to treat each student as an individual personality with unique needs. How the course is put together also will depend on the amount of information available to the instructor to let out. (Words by Grandmaster James Lacy)
Sabaki Technique
The Sabaki technique in Kenpokai Karate is very important. Only Ashihara Karate and Enshin Karate use this technique besides Kenpokai Karate.
40
Sabaki means the uses of side stepping beside your opponent. Side stepping combined with Gi or neck grabbing, pulling and turning. Kenpokai Karate is a practical system of empty handed self-defence based on a strategy of circular movement allowing you to use your opponent's power and momentum against him or her. This strategy, called sabaki, enables its practitioner to convert defence into offense. Kenpokai Karate stresses the development of flexibility, power, and speed, with emphasis on stretching, conditioning, and technique. Training in Kenpokai Karate builds spiritual awareness, mental alertness, a sense of confidence, and provides resources for meeting the challenges encountered in life.
Checking System
The checking system is very important for follow up moves and technique building. It keeps you in contact with your opponent so you can take him down with punching and kicking but also with take downs and grappling. The checking system tells us about the range and actions of our opponent, and it keeps him from attacking you. Checking can keep you safe against attacks and movements of your opponents. Checking can be explained as control movement.
Ground Fighting Jujutsu (Grappling)

In our grappling system of Kenpokai we use different techniques and concepts than Jujutsu. In Jujutsu grappling is more standard in many ways. In Kenpokai we use more punching, kicking and pressure points techniques when we are in a choke, lock or clinch on the ground. Because in Kenpokai, grappling is not for competition fighting but for real self-defence and full contact fighting. Attacks to the eyes, mouth, ears, nose and throat are very common in Kenpokai grappling. In this way you can really ensure yourself that you will come out of the choke or position that you are in on the ground. Of course we also train the more standard Jujutsu movements of grappling in Kenpokai.
Circling Motions
In Kenpokai we use circling motions to attack and defend. It can be used in a combination of circling palms, snap movement, sinking (drop) stance and Kenpokai fighting directions. Circling motion works just like a weight attached to a flexible stick. The stick will be much more powerful. When blocking you bring your body weight behind your circling blocking technique. When punching and kicking you bring your body up and down behind the 41
technique. When grappling or throwing you bring your opponent up and down. Circling motion makes your techniques more heavy and powerful.
Circling Palms
In Kenpokai we use the circling palm techniques. Techniques with the open hand, palm, inside, outside, back, sword, knife, fingers and wrist. We use these techniques in a circle motion, inside, outside, up and down. By using speed and motion you create force and power. These are devastating weapons in effective self-defence and combat. It can also be used in some forms of competition fighting, but it is very dangerous to the eyes to practise this in competition. Its more suitable for self-defence and real combat. By putting tense on the hand muscles you create a fighting weapon with your open hand. You use your hand strikes like a bullwhip. An iron chain with a metal ball attached to it. You use it with the full support of your body, every part must move and react. In this method every block is a strike, and every strike is a block. You dont have to waist time to put to much time in blocking first and then striking. You can block and strike at the same time. Circling palms is not used very often in martial art styles, because most of them are afraid and unaware of this method. But circling palms are devastating and dangerous.
Street Fighting Style

If you practise a martial art style like Kenpokai, Kempo Karate or Full Contact Karate you will be able to defend yourself against one or multiple attackers. But you will see that your fighting style on the street will be different than your fighting style in the dojo or even in full contact competition. Because the range of fighting will be different on the street. It will be unexpected and very fast and hard. An attack can come on every moment and corner. Thats why you have to practise a lot of close combat and grappling in your system. Because many street attackers attack from a very close distance. Also knife training is very important. Practise your knife and anti-knife techniques from close distance. Hand slap, speed striking, lowkicks and knees are very important weapons in your street fighting style.
Speed Striking
In Kenpokai we practise speed striking. Speed striking means training of multiple punches and slaps in a very short limited area of time. But speed doesnt mean soft. You must practice very fast and hard. Also you must learn to hit multiple areas on the human body. First start with 2 or 5 strikes in a very short limit of time. Then build it up to around 30 very fast and hard strikes with the fist or hand. You can also use speed striking to the pressure points.
42
Snap Movement
When you execute a technique with speed and force, you also have to take and pull it back with great speed and force. When you execute a technique you have to make a opposite counter movement. When kicking upwards you strike with your hands downwards. Pulling back the right fist fast, creates speed and force to executed a left fist or whatever techniques you want to use. Turning your techniques into a iron chain with a metal ball on the edge. Make a bullwhip out of your techniques. Make use of your knees, hips, shoulders and elbows. Every part of the body must be in action behind a single movement, to support it. The snap movement is very important in self-defence.
Closing the Distance

When you are facing an opponent in a fighting stance, and you want to go near to him to punch, clinch, knee kick or grasp, you will first need to close the distance between you and your opponent. Fighting stance facing your opponent. You can get close to him when you open with a kick to the hip, leg or knee and then walk towards him in a small step to get ready to punch, clinch, knee kick or grasp. You can practise this concept in many ways and combinations of attacks, defences and take downs.
Escrima Stick Fighting

In Kenpokai we use the short twin sticks as one of the main external weapons in Kenpo. We use them in the same way as the circling palm strikes and multiple punches. You can use the twin sticks in a very fast and powerful way. Its force and purpose are devastating. Dual twin sticks build up great movement and coordination. There are great techniques and movements in twin stick fighting. An expert in this weapon is more then an expert in unarmed fighting, because many movements are just an extension of unarmed fighting. You can also use only one fighting stick, in this way you can train your left and right side equally. After this you can use them together as devastating Kenpokai twin fighting sticks.
Whats the difference between Kempo and Kenpo?

Nothing. Actually, the only difference is in the translation of the Kanji to its English form. The word Kempo and Kenpo are both pronounced the same and both mean Law Of The Fist. When the Japanese Kanji for Kempo is brought into English, either a m or n is placed in 43
the word. Generally though, the more traditional forms of Kempo use the Kempo form, while the more non-traditional or contemporary versions use Kenpo.
Kiai
A loud noise cause by the rapid expulsion of air from the diaphragm of the body. This expulsion of air creates stability, increases force, fortifies the body and can have a psychological effect upon your opponent. Kiai originally meant breathing exercise. The Japanese term for Chi is Ki.
Fighting Range - Distance

In fighting and self-defence there are three types of distances. Short Distance Medium Distance Long Distance Short Distance can be used for Punches, Kicks and Grappling. Medium Distance can be used for Kicks and Punches. Long Distance can be used for Kicks. Also many combinations of three distances are possible. If you execute a technique you must be sure that you are not to far or to short in the right distance. You must calculate the impact and power of a technique. If you execute a kicking technique from a long distance but youre even to far out of the long distance, your kick will not have the desired effect that you wanted. This is the same in working with external weapons. Not only the distance to hit an opponent with your weapon is important, but also the distance you need to handle your weapon.
Safety Zone
In Kenpokai we use the technique of the safety zone to get ourselves in a safe defence and rest position. The safety zone is keeping very close to the opponent. You will get real close like in a clinching position. In this very close distance the opponent is not able to punch or kick you in a very hard way. He can only use short range attacks like knees or elbows. In this position you can get yourself in a good position to grasp and to make take downs. Getting into the safety zone can be executed by the technique of closing the distance. Getting out of the safety zone can be executed by the technique of opening the distance. If 44
you give your opponent large openings to attack you, the attack will be very hard. If you give your opponent much shorter openings, he will not be able to attack hard.
Scissors Move
The scissors move is called a double counter strike with your attack weapons. A movement like double or twin hammers, double knife and a checking technique together with a strike. Often used to opposite sites of the human body, left and right side head, front and backside body. You can hold your opponent with one side and hit him at the opposite side. This way you create a striking check.
Sinking (Drop) Stance

In Kenpokai we use the technique of the sinking stance or drop stance. Meaning: by turning your pelvis you can add much more weight and power into your stance. This way you really will have a good foundation for your movements. Your stance will be much stronger and solid for attacks to your upper and lower body (sweeps, throws etc). You must practise your stance day after day. Everything comes from a good foundation, and if your foundation is not right, you will not be able to execute good techniques.
Fighting Directions
In Kenpokai we use many different angles and directions to block, kick or punching. We move horizontal, vertical, diagonal and circular. In this way you will cover all possible directions for defence and attack.
Also your footwork moves in the same way as the figure shows. You can go to the front, back, side, up and down.
45
Open hand slap vs fist Punches

In Kenpokai we often use open hand slaps and strikes to the body and the face. We use these strikes with great power and speed, like a bullwhip. The impact of an open hand strike can be far more devastating than a normal fist strike. An open hand covers much more space than a normal fist, it has a larger surface. A normal fist strike hurts more on a certain place and upper surface, an open hand strike hurts on a much larger scale and underneath the surface and causes tears and damage in the eyes. In this way you take out the control of the body, you hurt his vision and take out his spirit to fight. Without the eyes the opponent is far more less dangerous then with his vision still intact. By using fast multiple hand slaps you create chaos and pain on many different places of the body, in this way the opponent cannot react to his pain on so many places at the same time. In this chaos you can use more directed techniques to take the opponent out. The pressure points are very important targets also with the open hand slaps.
Footwork
In the Kenpokai system we use two types of footwork. 1 Fast, mobile and flexible for selfdefence. 2 Slow, moving but steady for Full Contact Karate. 1 You have to be very fast in self-defence, flexible and mobile to change your position and angles for defending yourself against one or multiple fighters. Self-defence is very different than Full Contact Fighting. You can expect an attack out of every position and angle without rules and honour. And when weapons are used your chances are very limited. You have to be fast and mean to survive. And your footwork can help you defend yourself to get away from the aggressor and situation. 2 In Full Contact Karate like Kyokushinkai Karate and Ashihara Karate you also have to be fast but you cannot move too light and fast because you will go down when your opponent kicks or punches you. You have to be steady to take the blows. You have to be a rock walkin towards the opponent with respect and honour.
