Reversing Mace

Orange belt has most of the best Kenpo Karate self-defense techniques just because they are effective, easy to learn and you can be entertained by “playing” with all of them in various scenarios.
Reversing Mace is a technique against a left straight punch to the face. Here are the simple steps you need:

  • As the punch comes in, step out with a right inward parry/ inward block depending on the attack.
  • Then use an outward parry to keep the left arm checked.
  • Deliver a right hammer fist to the ribs.
  • Right downward roundhouse kick to the left calf to cancel his height. (some teach to use a downward right tiger claw against the elbow to keep control of the aggressor while they execute the downward roundhouse kick)
  • Step out.

Professors Cliff Seminerio and Juan Serrano explaining and executing Reversing Mace in detail.
