AIK Personal Forms Assignments
As a Black Belt in American Kenpo, you will be required to create (3) personal forms as follows:
Personal Short Form (Form 7)
Required for Senior Second Degree Black Belt
(9) Technique Minimum (A-Symmetrical Form)
Personal Long Form (Form 8)
Required for Senior Third Degree Black Belt
(9) Technique Minimum (Symmetrical Form)
(1) Isolation Minimum
Personal Weapon Form (Form 9)
Required for Senior Fourth Degree Black Belt
(9) Technique Minimum (choice of Symmetry)
(1) Isolation Minimum
Weapon Must NOT be native to Kenpo
Personal Video Project
Required for Senior Fifth Degree Black Belt
Submitted video - Sets, Forms 1-9, & Weapons
In order to complete ANY of these forms, you will need to understand the whole of the personal form project.
Each form that you have learned in American Kenpo has a theme and teaches specific concepts and principles
to progress the student’s learning and understanding. For example, Short Form Three teaches contact
manipulation, all techniques are “dead attacks” (grab, holds, hugs, locks, & chokes). Your instructor can assist
you in learning the themes for all the forms (Lee Wedlake’s books are also a valuable tool in this endeavor).
Once you have a solid understanding of the forms and their themes, we can move on to a basic overview of
the WHOLE project’s intended outcome. The forms (1-4 short & long where appropriate) provide the
foundations of the American Kenpo System. Forms 5 and 6 are specialized studies (Form 5 Takedowns, Form 6
Weapons).
There were forms 7 & 8 - created by Ed Parker’s Senior Black Belts (Twin Club & Twin Knife Forms). However,
these forms are arguably NOT Ed Parker’s because they did not get his final approval and personal revisions.
As such, in AIK’s curriculum they may be taught in a specialty seminar but will not be included in the base
curriculum. I mention this because if you converse with other EPAKS Black Belts and mention forms 7 & 8,
they will be thinking about the knife and club forms (not the personal forms that AIK calls forms 7-9).
AIK’s decision to have each student “complete” his / her own system with the creation of personal forms 7-9
is no small endeavor! This must be taken on with great focus, personal study, and a constantly evolving (and
revising) attitude. Like Ed Parker did; you should revise your forms as your understanding expands until you
feel that your personal forms (each & all of them) represent you and complete your personal Kenpo System.
However, (ALWAYS REMAIN AWARE) that there is NO true “completion” for any of us. That said, lets
explore the process for choosing the techniques that will make up your forms.

Use the Ed Parker’s (Web of Knowledge) breaking the techniques into the following (9) categories:
Striking:
1.) Pushes
2.) Punches
3.) Kicks
4.) Weapons
Grappling:
5.) Tackles
6.) Grabs
7.) Holds & Hugs
8.) Chokes & Locks
Multiple Attacks:
9.) Combination of the above (grab with a punch, kick-punch, etc.)
You will then need to break them down further into the 18 Family Groupings as follows:
The 18 Family Groups:
1.) Pushes
2.) Punches
3.) Kicks
4.) Weapons - Gun
5.) Weapons - Knife
6.) Weapons - Stick
7.) Tackles
8.) Grabs - Wrist
9.) Grabs - Shoulder/Lapel
10.) Grabs - Hair
11.) Grabs - Belt
12.) Holds & Hugs - Hand
13.) Holds & Hugs - Full Nelson
14.) Holds & Hugs - Bear Hug
15.) Chokes & Locks - Chokes
16.) Chokes & Locks - Locks
17.) Multiple Attacks - One Man
18. ) Multiple Attacks - Two Man
On a side note, further study of these categories will lead you into the awareness and study of Technique
Families & Family Related Techniques. To aid you further, you should consider the following complementary
characteristics when looking at and comparing Kenpo Techniques:
Forward - Reverse (example: Falling Falcon - Delayed Sword)
Inside - Outside (example: Gripping Talon - Glancing Spear)
Above - Below (example: Gift In Return - Broken Gift)
Front - Back (example: Encounter With Danger - Leap From Danger)
Right - Left (example: Five Swords - Flashing Wings)
Linear - Circular (example: Thundering Hammers - Twirling Hammers)
Striking - Grappling (example: Obscure Sword - Obscure Claws)
Empty Hand - Weapon (example: Crossing Talon - Obstructing The Storm)
Hard - Soft (Example: Leap of Death - Destructive Kneel)
Offense - Defense (example: Intercepting The Ram - Charging Ram)
Clockwise - Counterclockwise (example: Broken Rod - Twisted Rod)
Hand - Foot (example: Alternating Maces - Aggressive Twins)
Push - Pull (example: Obscure Sword - Obscure Wing)
Direct - Indirect (example: Triggered Salute - Glancing Salute)
Major - Minor (example: Conquering Shield - Darting Mace)
The two types of Technique Relationships are - Blood Relation: Characterized by a direct application of
motion & Marriage Relation: Characterized by a direct application of concepts and / or principles.
A study of ALL the above will reveal the Master Key Techniques of American Kenpo. The Master Key
Techniques combined with Ed Parker’s Equation Formula are how the system of American Kenpo was created
in its current form. A basic description of the Equation Formula is as follows:
Equation Formula: To any given base technique you can (1) Prefix - add a move or moves before it, (2) Suffix
- add a move or moves after it, (3) Insert - add a simultaneous move with the already established sequence, (4)
Re-arrange - change the sequence of the moves, (5) Alter - (a) the weapon (b) the target (c) both weapon &
target, (6) Adjust - (a) the range (b) the angle of execution (c) both angle of execution and range, (7) Regulate (a) the speed (b) the force (c) both speed & force (d) intent & speed, (8) Delete - exclude a move or moves
from the sequence.
This will give you tremendous insights into the Kenpo System if you take the time to break down the
categories that have been given to you.
DO NOT simply read this and think you have “got the gist of it” - DO YOUR HOMEWORK!
Complete understanding is not required to begin your personal forms (Get to work & learn as you go!)
Once you have the techniques down into the 18 Family Groups, you may remove the following techniques and
exclude them from your personal forms.

Should the theme of your form(s) require the use of one of these techniques you may still use a few of them.
Simply remember the goals of the entire project and attempt to avoid redundancy.
Believe it - or not... This will leave a large number of techniques remaining (some in abundance, some with few
- compared with other categories) You may then begin to look at Family Related Techniques to further assist
you in selection (based upon your form’s theme). For example: Repeating Mace, Reversing Mace, and Circling
Destruction are similar enough that you may choose to include only one of the three.
In order to further your in-depth study of American Kenpo we have included the following breakdowns of the
techniques:
Symbolic meanings of terms in a Technique
Techniques (Directional)
Techniques by Attack
By viewing the techniques in different ways, you will begin to discover the interconnections that exist
throughout the system. Do not under estimate the time necessary to digest all of this information!
Upon completion of your entire system of Kenpo (forms 1-9), you should express almost every American
Kenpo Technique (or principle and concept thereof). You should also focus and hone your specific strengths (&
improve any deficiencies) to bring balance to your expression of Kenpo.
Seek the guidance of your Instructor and remain a true student of the art until the last day - Oss!
