Important Training Note

The IKCA Distance Learning Program covers Yellow Belt through Black Belt. It is important to note that beginning at the second level, Orange Belt, the course is designed to be done with a training partner. Kenpo is based on the ability to recognize an attack and the position it puts you in, as well as how you can and should cause body reactions while executing self defense. Having a live body to work with is very important. Your training partner does not have to be a fellow Kenpo student (though that certainly helps), but somebody of similar size. What we look for is your knowledge of what is taught, including blocks, stances, maneuvers, natural weapons and targets. Executing the self-defense techniques to proper targets, with extreme control, is why you need to have a training partner.

One of the more common questions we receive is, “Can I use a dummy to test?”

We answer that question here.
