In American Kenpo, moves are generally classified as effective or in-effective. A further classification can be made for effective moves: practical or impractical. Practical Moves being those that are also highly effective in combat. This correctly implies that maneuvers and methods that are effective may not be practical within the context of combat.

Also within this same context, maneuver and methods not deemed practical should be Purposely Omitted from combat scenarios.

Practical Moves are closely associated with Practical Kenpo in that they are the most likely to be used in this context.
