Hi! I am Joe Palanzo of the World Wide Kenpo
Karate Association in conjunction with Expert

Village; I want to welcome you today. The
technique that was just demonstrated is called

parting wings and it is a defense against
the two hand push out. In other words, when

the push occurs at the shoulder and I can
get my hands on the inside. This is called

an open ended triangle, and it is actually
four spaces that have two sides. The options

in case his hands are closer together having
more leverage to separate or I can go straight

into the face. So, on the first move, as he
drops back I strike here and try to get enough

space inside the arms as he comes forward,
and as his body will continue to come forward

I need to stop it. So this hand as it travels
over here perhaps can hook his eye to divert

his head, and I stop him with a major move,
which is a hand sword coming onto the heart

or the floating ribs. If you want to bring
it from the outside but it will stop him.

This hand is chambered over here in a defensive
posture, and I have changed stances from a

neutral to four blow to give me some force.
I might grab a bit of the armpit here, and

as I pull I am going to strike him in the
throat with a hand sword, and again I have

chambered by right hand back here in preparation
for the next move. This hand is going to go

down the body as a check and also positional
check against his legs as I use a middle finger

strike to the solar plexus, and this usually
penetrates and does the job. So again the

first four basic moves are separate, stop
with a hand sword, chop to the throat, and

strike to the solar plexus and then cover
to a safe position. This is parting wings.
