#Kenpo techniques are not about the sequence but about the concepts and principles that guide the application in different situations. It is designed to allow the practitioner to self-correct and adapt to changing circumstances. They are not dependent on the sequence of movements, but rather on the situation and the reaction of the opponent. Kenpo is meant to modify, alter, or improvise a technique based on concepts and principles, for dynamic & versatile motion.
