Advanced Program

Training for self defense is one thing; being able to apply and use what you learn is another. The Advanced Program is designed to accelerate your training by continuing to build upon your Classical foundation, while adding the Practical and Tactical aspects of our style. In the practical aspect of the Advanced Program, you will learn how to apply the classical tools and techniques you have developed in a structured, controlled situation. By providing the context and guidelines of the situation and what you can perform, it greatly increases your confidence and comfort level, allowing you to concentrate on your execution and technique.

While continuing to develop your fundamental skills and apply them in practical drills, you will also start to develop your Tactical skills. In the Tactical aspect of your program, you expand the Practical application by removing some of the structure and guidelines of previous training sessions, and begin to drill reality-based self defense situations.

During the Advanced Program, you will:

  • Expand and add more fundamental techniques and forms – so you can solidify your classical training and gain a deeper understanding of the roots of our Ultimate Kenpo system
  • Learn dynamic practical self defense drills – so you learn how to apply your classical techniques in a way that works in a self defense situation
  • Drill live tactical situations – so that you can build confidence and see what works and what doesn’t in a self defense situation
  • Develop tactical skills – so that you can move and apply your self defense skills in a live situation, without hesitation or thought
  • Learn principles of weapons defense – so that you understand the principles behind defending against a bladed weapon, stick or club and firearm
  • Discover how to defend against multiple attackers – so that if you are ever caught in that situation, you don’t panic; you know what to do
  • And much more…
