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

00:00:12.820 --> 00:00:16.750
Village; I want to welcome you today. The
technique that was just demonstrated is called

00:00:16.750 --> 00:00:21.160
parting wings and it is a defense against
the two hand push out. In other words, when

00:00:21.160 --> 00:00:26.320
the push occurs at the shoulder and I can
get my hands on the inside. This is called

00:00:26.320 --> 00:00:33.030
an open ended triangle, and it is actually
four spaces that have two sides. The options

00:00:33.030 --> 00:00:39.370
in case his hands are closer together having
more leverage to separate or I can go straight

00:00:39.370 --> 00:00:45.149
into the face. So, on the first move, as he
drops back I strike here and try to get enough

00:00:45.149 --> 00:00:49.750
space inside the arms as he comes forward,
and as his body will continue to come forward

00:00:49.750 --> 00:00:54.870
I need to stop it. So this hand as it travels
over here perhaps can hook his eye to divert

00:00:54.870 --> 00:01:00.829
his head, and I stop him with a major move,
which is a hand sword coming onto the heart

00:01:00.829 --> 00:01:04.570
or the floating ribs. If you want to bring
it from the outside but it will stop him.

00:01:04.570 --> 00:01:08.440
This hand is chambered over here in a defensive
posture, and I have changed stances from a

00:01:08.440 --> 00:01:13.430
neutral to four blow to give me some force.
I might grab a bit of the armpit here, and

00:01:13.430 --> 00:01:18.150
as I pull I am going to strike him in the
throat with a hand sword, and again I have

00:01:18.150 --> 00:01:22.690
chambered by right hand back here in preparation
for the next move. This hand is going to go

00:01:22.690 --> 00:01:28.520
down the body as a check and also positional
check against his legs as I use a middle finger

00:01:28.520 --> 00:01:34.700
strike to the solar plexus, and this usually
penetrates and does the job. So again the

00:01:34.700 --> 00:01:40.340
first four basic moves are separate, stop
with a hand sword, chop to the throat, and

00:01:40.340 --> 00:01:45.000
strike to the solar plexus and then cover
to a safe position. This is parting wings.
