First technique

[shane23ss]

I wanted to ask everyone what was the first technique you learned upon beginning your Kenpo training. I would really like to hear from the senior guys (just interested in what Mr Parker liked to teach first), but everyone please respond. Mine was 5 Swords. Thanks

Seems like Delayed Sword is shaping up to be everyone's first, except for me.:idunno:

The first "Kenpo" technique that I witnessed was the extended version of Dance of Death .

Having come from a Wado Ryu school who had had a great competitive freestyle regime , upon seeing the technique executed at full speed and power , all I could think was "Whoa, that's a disqualification".

As I tell everyone who asks, D.O.D. baited my Kenpo hook.

In American Kenpo: Delayed Sword
In Tracy Kenpo: Tracy Tech: Aiming the Spear
In kajukenbo: Grab Defense 1, original huh

Alternating Maces for me...

The first Kenpo technique I learned was Clutching Feathers at Mr. Tatum's school in Pasadena. It was 1994 and the instructors in his studio weren't teaching the yellow belt techniques yet. If my memory serves me correctly the first 12 of the 24 Orange Belt techniques were required for Yellow Belt, as well as the right side of Short Form One.

When I took Al Tracy Kempo years ago, my first move was "Knee of Vengeance." I can't believe I still remember it. He he.

"Delayed Sword"

P.S.--Mr. Billings told me that I got it right last Thursday night. We did a technique line, and he said, "That's it!"
Woo Hoo!! And it only took me 6 years. One down, 153 to go...

WAY TO GO!!! you should be done in about 150 years.

Thanks to everyone. I guess I'm not the only one to not learn Delayed Sword first.
