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.
El pelón grandote de la derecha muy malas procisiones!es muy torpe en sus movimientos y esa Kiba dachi muy deficiente de su parte..cero intención y cero técnica..muy sucia y deficiente su técnica!
I can appreciate the seminar... But it is nearly impossible to have all these people in the same room not getting individual attention to help improve themselves. This is just Mass basics and a lot of sloppy technique.
@@matthewhansen9423 its kenpo dude,if you pay,you pass most martial arts dont test performance at all well,that's why there are so many useless black belts
@@Ruben901 exactly......I'm on my 20years old, I'm very young and i teach fighting and martial arts and mixed martial arts and kote kitae ryu and of course fighting on the ground, various styles, and i can ASSURE them that reality and real sparring or real fighting training will ALWAYS win against fantasy and choreography
