Those looked like some pretty neat forms. And, I liked seeing many of the men and women showing real intent when doing so. Showing they can truly do so in a real serious situation vs, just weakly going through the motions. I did see one advance belt doing that. Slowly going through the motions with no intent of using it in real life no power. Just slowly and barely going through the motions. She should know from the start, that is not good enough. Maybe give her a 2nd try with true intent or fail the test for the day, and have to retake it at another time. After all the belts should have meaning and consistency in its ranking. Other wise it's one of those belt factories who is just selling the belt. I also liked the two person form where they switched from aggressor to defender. Sweet.
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.🙏🏻
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.
