Never heard of it. Is it being introduced to you in Kenpo curriculum? If so is it EPAKK and at what belt level if any? Now you've got me interested in it to :cool:

I trained in the Villari system until Brown before changing to the Parker system and I had never heard of anything by that name. Its possible something may have been added in at a later time.

Sorry I cant help.

Could you be just slightly mistaken on the name of this form?

Not "Sand Flip"... But "Sandwich"? :angel:

Hi, i have a bit more info. It seems the name was supposedly a literal translation (by whom ??) of the following name: Suna Kaku Keru
Maybe i have the spelling wrong, not sure.
I don't think this is a traditional form??
thanks,

Just ask your instructor about the background of the form. If he dosen't know, ask him who taught it to him.
I wouldn't be too concerned about the origin. Many people make up forms to add to their system, or use in competition. And some systems even require their students to create a form as part of their testing process.
It's more important how useful the form is to your training, then what the origin of it is.

can you describe any of the form? Maybe some people know it under a different name or maybe as J.Bishop said it is an addition

respectfully,

Hi all,
thanks for the input, i'll put the ball back in my instructors lap.
I know he said it wasn't a traditional form, but didn't elaborate much more.
thanks,
jeff
