American Kenpo – Alternating Maces

Alternating Maces – American Kenpo Technique

This page provides details about the American Kenpo technique – Alternating Maces. This self-defense technique is used against a two-hand push or choke.

Unfortunately, after the death of Ed Parker in 1990, American Kenpo broke into a number of competing organizations. This has led to a fragmentation of the style and some schools are promoting differing techniques and standards. American Kenpo often uses colorful names (i.e. Snapping Twig) for self-defense techniques in order to help students remember these moves.
