Kenpo Karate Kicks
American Kenpo Karate Kicks, these are the kicks we were taught in our Kenpo school, most schools might have different kicking techniques or even less in their requirements. But you will find that most of these are used at most Kenpo Karate Studios nowadays. You might also find that one kick could have a different name and also be found at a different belt rank requirement as well.
