Training: Angles of Attack

The Kenpo System is based on the 45 and 90 degree angles. Due to the physical structure and capacity of the human body, these offer the greatest advantage for the purpose of self defense. Once the techniques have been perfected to cover the eight positions of attack, they can be varied to cover any position from which an attack could possibly be launched. You will be able to see this concept more clearly as your training develops.

All Katas and Techniques will be taught using the eight positions of attack.

The Eight Angles of Attack: Position one is in front of you, position three to your right, position five behind you, and position seven to your left.
