We have a unique approach to self defense as Sam~Pai Kenpo,
we use what works. We prefer to rely on multiple strikes
and win our wars through attrition, whittling away at our
opponent as opposed to trying to stop them with a single
devistating blow. All of our techniques have multiple
built in safe gaurds or insurance policies and nothing is
etched in stone. The techniques that are taught are meant
to act as a loose framework, rather than an ultimate model.
We prefer whenever possible to take an opponent to the
ground or to a point of control. We have added many of the
locks and submission holds of Gun~Fu and Modern Arnis to
the basic kenpo fundamentals. We place a great deal of
emphasis on applying the techniques on one another as
opposed to strictly theoretical rehearsal. I have also adopted a very informal approach to weapons defense.
Below are links to the required techniques for each level of Northwest Sam-Pai Kenpo. Click on the appropriate belt color. I am currently in the process of archiving the technique breakdowns for each level. The white belt and most of the orange belt
levels are now up and running. The other levels will be up and running soon. Eventually you will need a password to acess this section.
