INTRODUCTORY LESSON III

You have been studying Kenpo for about one week. Once again — this lesson will build on the previous lessons, so make sure you fully understand Introductory Lessons ssss1 and ssss1.

THE DOWNWARD BLOCK

Assume a right-rear Forward Stance making sure that your left knee is bent and directly above the middle of your left foot, and that your right leg is firmly locked. In order to downward block, extend your right arm, fist clenched, to a point in front of your groin, as in fig. ssss1. Now place your left forearm (fist clenched) in the crook of your right elbow (fig. ssss1). The arrow in fig. ssss1 represents the next motion you have to make with your left arm. Sweep it downward to a point over your left knee and as your arm passes your right fist, pull your right fist into your hip (as in fig. ssss1).
