Kempo kali
Five swords
Thundering hammers
Repeating mace
Reversing mace
Leaping crane
Some schools change the name of the set to reflect it is a stick not hand technique
If we call the stick a storm then five swords in five storms
Or five sticks
Or just five swords with swords if we take the sticks to resemble machetes
A sword on Kempo is the hand sword shuto
A mace is the clenched fist so refers to fudo ken and tettsui hammer fist
Tonight's Kempo
Five swords
Repeating mace
Reversing mace
Sword of destruction
Shielding hammer
We looked at the use of the yawara held in the right hand as part of the Kempo sets
We looked at the use of the close range use of the thumb in the eye
Using the checking hand in close range, and when doing the low kicks
Checking the head and face to open a strike
