Tech Dek 1, 2, 3, Forms Dek and Guide Book combo

Get the complete collection of physical Kenpo Kards and the guide book that explains them.

At first glance the Kenpo Kards look like simple trading cards. But each kard is precisely and painstakingly designed to hold as much information as possible in the smallest space. Every kard is a study guide to one self-defense technique, and the kards also work together to form a “web of knowledge” of the American Kenpo system.

What’s in the set

• Tech Deks 1, 2 and 3: the complete series of self-defense technique kards, 60 kards per dek.
• The Forms Dek: a kard for each American Kenpo form, with its themes, principles, and primary maneuvers. It’s only available in this set or with Tech Dek 3.
• The Official Guide to the Kenpo Kards: what every part of the kards means, and how to use them in your workouts and study.

On every kard

• Front: an original illustration of the technique and its name, so you recognize it at a glance.
• Back, left side: a summary of the technique’s most important groupings, basics, concepts, theories, principles, and relationships, for study and class discussion.
• Back, right side: symbols for the attack, zone, direction, and position, for quickly sorting the kards and building workouts.

The kards don’t describe how to execute each technique. That’s deliberate: they are designed to reinforce your instructor’s teaching, not to replace it.

Who it’s for

Practitioners who want the whole system at their fingertips, and instructors who want a complete teaching tool.
