Practising Air Kenpo is a form of martial arts and movement in which the artists pretends to perform Kenpo Karate techniques. Techniques while performed on a fall-guy or uki have no contact whatsoever. The "Meaningful Dialogue" principle can not reciprocated with the defenders self defence technique. Usually this form of Kenpo Karate stems from fear of hurting the fall guy. It give the practitioner a false sense of legitimacy of the art and their ability to perform in real life situations. This is not exercising control during exchange of fall guy/practitioner, but merely "going through the motions." It is sometimes beneficial to both the fall-guy/practitioner to experience some contact of hitting and being hit.
