EPAK White Belt Requirements

[detroitfan102]

At my school the kenpo white belt requirements involve 5 techniques and a short form my instructor created himself. I was just wondering what the requirments were to pass to yellow belt under Ed Parker's original system.

There was no yellow belt in the original system. When yellow belt was introduced, there were 9 or 10 techniques created for it. Short Form 1 is also sometimes a requirement.

Hope that helps,
Mike

White belt requirements:

10 self defense techniques
7 sayings
Kenpo Creed
8 stances
6 blocks
4 kicks
10 strikes
7 punches
8 foot manuvers
Short form 1
Blocking set 1 aka "star block"
The clock principles
And how to conduct yourself while in the school (e.g, saluting the instructors and higher ranks, bowing in before entering/exiting the school and the training area, how your belt was placed, how you uniform was to be, etc.)

This is how I came in ths system and it has stay with me since then.

I hope this helps.

Yours in Kenpo,
Bill Smith
