This is a joke !! Not one person throws a correct strike. No power , no balance in their stances. Just a bunch pitter patter bull shit that gives them a false sense of confidence..

Wow. Kenpo 5.0 lucky people. Las Vegas. Practice form in small or big room OR try hand at gambling. This kata is way over my head. I can think about something 'small' to do. But. A form like this. If they don't require testing after x amount of time, and you can choose the 'slow' class, I still wouldn't be able to keep up. You know? You learn something at any age. You need ask questions. What if something off in the foundation? What gonna happen when you build Kenpo 5.0 on top of it? Very advanced stuff. And. How many people 'perfect vessel?' Ed Parker pretty cool create American Kenpo.
When I took Kenpo 30 years ago it was Chinese Kenpo. The comments about just passing students that pay didn't exist. Back then it was very difficult to go to the next rank. Our Sensei was from overseas where he grew up in a monestary and literally did training exercises in the trees and the forest. He was extremely hard core. If you made him bleed it got him excited. There was no sparring gear back then. I mean nothing. You learned damn fast to block. We would have specialists come into the school from time to time in other arts. One was a world class judo champion that also trained from overseas. He literally could change the angle to the slightest and cause you to hit the front, side, back of your head with a throw and if you didn't land properly the speed and impact of the ground could kill someone. The master throwers could reach very high impact speed with the throws. Over the decades the arts changed as the older masters saw for mass adoption parents wanted safety in place over skill levels. That is when Mcdojo terminology came along. There are pluses and minuses to each. Some people who do not have control can be very dangerous to the training partner because they do not have the right mindset for improving themselves. Some schools will do a hybrid teaching basic techniques to young students and leaving the very advanced and more damaging techniques to senior ranks. They want to make sure you have the control, understanding, and maturity before learning those moves. Additionally someone being a great technical fighter is only part of what makes up belt advancement. There are lots of other spiritual and life reasons why people take the arts. Taking the arts might calm someone down and allow them to be a much better person impacting lots of other people on a day to day basis in a positive way. Those measuring the arts by fighting ability alone miss the point of martial arts to begin with. Fighting and self defense is only a very small slice of the whole in the arts.
@@toddallan8913 I first started in the early 90's. I do not remember their last name I was like 18 years old at the time. It was the first art I took for martial arts. It was Sensei Don and Sensei Harry. I can't remember every minute detail of the name of the monestary where Sensei Harry trained at. I didn't go to high in Kenpo was like blue or brown belt and trained for about a year plus. I took some time off and then get back into martial arts when I was older in my later 20's in age. Took Taekwondo for a long time and also did training in Krav Maga and Ju Jitsu. The Krav and Ju Jitsu were supplement training to the Taekwondo. I was 3rd degree black belt in Taekwondo fixing to test for 4th degree. At that level it gets political in an organization and they want you to open schools, judge at tournaments etc. and I already owned a full time business that is very successful for 20 plus years now. Got busy in life and took time off from training. Might get back into it again as I love the various styles and arts for the spiritual side and fun to train but not the business side.
@@toddallan8913 It was called Dragon Fire Kenpo Academy. Out back they had the wooden blocks in the ground at various heights and spaces and we would practice balance and technique on there. We were in the southeast. The forms were on sheets of paper and very confusing. Would have a drawing of person and then say for a form like 30 moves and say step 1 circling the moon and all this stuff. Until the instructor showed you what it meant was really hard to follow. I did like some of the energy work with hands and redirection. Taekwondo was ATA. Now they have mcdojo type stuff for the kids but different for adults. Adults upper levels the instructors often hold black belts in lots of different styles as well ( at least my instructors did) One was bouncer and had black belt in 4 different disciplines so hard real world application. So you get various viewpoints on training it's not the my style is better than yours stuff. Obviously the more serious training you do not show to kids because they often do something stupid with it. I don't get into the sport part of it much I like the self defense aspect much more.
Fun,, just a little in a hurry for me. to much flash, not enough targets. My generation called it the over kill generation. . Salute Charles Wallace 4th.
The problem is the Kenpo practitioner will keep moving, keeping you on yours heels, and off balance. However, these people have a ground game to, you may just run into a elbow or a knee when you go to take the "Kenpoka" down.Ive seen it myself
It really depends on how you train. This system of Kenpo utilizes ground fighting from what I have seen. If you're training Bjj and not anticipating strikes then it limits you. In the same way if you think an eye gouge or a hit to the Groin will stop a Bjj practioner who can mearly do the same thing in reverse then that's delusional.
Sifu Bruce would be giggling and wondering what they thought they were doing. Joe Lewis called it finger painting. Forms have nothing to do with fighting. Time waster. True combat athletes would not waster their time with this practice. As long as they are happy and never get in a fight, this is awesome…because they are happy and confident. Even false confidence is real to the person feeling it.🙏🏻
