P90X Kenpo X

Ahhhh day 6 with P90X Kenpo X. On this day you will get another cardio work out which will give your big muscles a little break. Kenpo is a raw street fighting form and is the first American system of martial arts. Kenpo karate started with Ed Parker Sr., who studied under martial arts masters William Cow and Lau Bon. From here Parker was exposed to a number of martial arts forms that originated in China, India and Asia which he combined to create Kenpo karate.

During this work out you will use explosive combinations to improve balance, flexibility, coordination, stamina and confidence. This work out will be easy for some and challenging for others. I found that this was the easiest of all of the work outs except for Stretch X. I have thought about doing Kenpo X with a heavy bag during most of the punches just to increase resistance. That is the great part about P90X. You can always use it as a base and then add, change , modify or edit in any way, shape or form to coincide with your training goals.

Here is what P90X Kenpo X looks like:
