First Day in Kenpo

Covered 5 main items today:

1. Foot Maneuver: Switch
2. Salutation: Short Salute
3. Stance: Neutral Bow
4. Foot Maneuver: Step-dragFoot Maneuver: Cover

Salutation: Short Salute
The bow at the end of the short salute requires the head be up and the eyes forward. Note that this conflicts with bowing in Taekwondo where it is considered a challenge if you maintain eye contact during a bow.

Stance: Neutral Bow
The trailing hand in the neutral bow stance is at the solar plexus. Note that this conflicts with Taekwondo where the trailing hand is held in a similar position but at the waist instead of the solar plexus.

Study for next week:

• 12 points of the neutral bow stance
• Step-drag foot maneuver
• Cover & switch foot maneuvers
• Short salute
