American Kenpo – Twisted Rod

Twisted Rod – American Kenpo Technique

This page provides details about the American Kenpo technique – Twisted Rod. This self-defense technique is used against an attacker with a gun to the front.

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. For other techniques, please visit Black Belt Wiki’s American Kenpo Techniques section.
