SPARRING
There is no substitute for practical application to develop courage, confidence, fitness, timing and awareness. Sparring drills and free sparring are included in both the Adult and Junior Dragon class. Real world sparring eliminates the tournament regulations that hinder your ability to defend yourself. Tournaments like UFC are nothing more than than higher level sports activities with referees and rules that don't exist on the street. This is not street self-defense, don't be fooled! Jui-jitsu style defense will not work on the street!
American Kenpo emphasizes practical application in the real world
, not in the artificial world of the martial arts school. Students learn how to avoid kicks and strikes, defend and attack, and develop their self-defense skills in real time and under real stress. This is critical if you want to really be able to defend yourself. Students wear protective equipment for these classes.
While it is possible to sustain some form of injury in martial arts, studies have shown that martial arts have one of the lowest incidents of injuries of any sports activity. Soccer, Basketball, Football, Tennis, Gymnastics, and Volleyball, all rank higher in frequencyand severity of injuries.
