The Leaping Crane Kenpo Karate Technique

Hi! I am Joe Palanzo from the World Wide Kenpo Karate Association in conjunction with Expert Village. This self defense technique that we just did is called leaping crane. This has an interesting, as a straight punch comes in, not only we go over here but we are going to hop on the one leg hence a crane like a bird and as we step off the side, this hand is going to strike across this way in that action, using a middle finger strike to rifle along the inside of the ribcage. At the same time, we want to make sure this continues on its path. So as we travel to the side, we are going to check perry here and move perry and strike him in the middle, a side kick forcing him down on his knee. We want to plant inside the body because this knee acts as a check and as we plant we are going to strike, dropping our weight, hit him with a back knuckle to his left kidney. Let us just look at that again. So here we have one kick, kick Now as he starts to fall forward, I am going to reach back and grab his face and pull it back into an inverted horizontal elbow hitting to the mastoid of the head; this way still checking and then dropping back. This is called leaping crane.
