   Dark Room Staff: Is a good solid introduction to the staff ("bo") as a weapon, it contains many of the stances, spins, and hand exchanges that will be needed in later staff kata. A set that can be used by beginners for early weapon competition. Even at Black Belt level if done properly, with power and focus, this set can be used in competition against any classical weapon kata! Trophies have been won at all levels with this set.

   Long 4: This is the most request kata out of the Kenpo system (except Tiger and Crane) than any other kata.
It takes 2 minutes and 40 seconds (on the average) to perform the kata, and almost three hours to show you how to do it! This is a classic Kenpo kata. It is Ed Parker's masterpiece, that was developed in the early 1960's. If you perfect only one Kenpo kata, let it be this one.

    Panther Set (Book Set): The nickname "Book Set" comes from the fact it was meant to be the kata featured in Ed Parker's book, Secrets of Chinese Kenpo. Because of the problems that developed between Ed Parker and James Wing Woo (the man who had been helping with the book) this set was removed and replaced with Two Man Set, also known as the Black Belt Set (This is set is not part of our system) because in the early days of Kenpo it was the most advanced set taught as a requirement for Black Belt!

   Skylight Staff: Formerly #2 Staff Set teaches you to develop power with the staff and teaches full length use of the staff to develop reach and power. Done properly it is as powerful as any set out there. While it has classical Chinese applications it can stand on its own against any hard style weapons. Skylight staff is a power set that can be used in any competition when you must complete against traditional Japanese and Okinawan staff sets.

    Tiger and Crane: There has been some misunderstanding about the use of the Tiger and Crane as a Kenpo set. Professor William K.S Chow, the co-founder (along with James Mitose) of the style we call Kenpo, was originally trained by his father (Hoon "Hun" Chow) in the Classical Chinese martial arts - namely "Hung Gur". The Tiger and Crane (Fu Hook Seung Ying) is the definitive form of the Hung Gar system containing all the complete self defense hand movements of the system. The Tiger and Crane is the bridge between the system we have now and the original system that Professor Chow learned and passed on the Ed Parker. Ed in turn, introduced the kenpo taught to him by Professor Chow to the United States. For this reason it is continued to be taught as part of the modern Kenpo system. This kata keeps us aware of the one origin of our art. The American Kenpo system no longer teaches this kata.
Done properly the Tiger section of the Tiger and Crane is on of the most beautiful and powerful of all kata. For this reason it is possible to get high scores in competition even from Japanese or Korean judges.
Tiger and Crane (only the Tiger section is performed) is the #1 winning Kenpo kata in the United States. If you want to develop one winning kata for competition, this is it.
