CASA DE KENPO - FREESTYLE TECHNIQUES - PURPLE BELT 

I have learned so much from your session and I am a yellow belt in Kenpo Karate Thank you so much

It is all about learning the principles of motion, not set techniques. If you train in a quality school you will understand that these "rehearsed" moves are not the end all and be all. Thank you gentlemen for you contributions.

@casadekenpo Professor Sensei's thank you for sharing your practical moves with us Kenpoists!

Great demo of kenpo free style technique. So many schools dont teach this anymore thanks for sharing...

I train Kajukenbo, I see so many similarities in our stills, great work

Always liked the free style stuff !

Great work guys. You are helping a lot of ppl with your vids. Including me. You clear out lots of doubts about defenses, sets and now Freestiles. Have 1 question. Have you thought of making a video of TWO MEN SET? Thanks from Venezuela.

Forever grateful. Blessings!!!

This looks fun.

you guys rock keep up the great work agine hell of a job salute. 5 stars

@casadekenpo Never saw any one bench press with their eyes, throat, or groin. Skill and Knowledge of anatomy- the bigger they are the harder they fall

@DTBSAI Sorry for coming in late to the party here, but I am sure Emmanuel Yarborogh thought because he was 700lbs that he would run over a much smaller Keith Hackney(Kenpo BB), but we all saw how that turned out. No style is perfect, but neither is any particular fighter.

Me Gusta mucho la idea de practicar kenpo americano especialmente porque mi raiz esta en el kung fu. Por lo tanto yo veo mas un kung fu que un estilo de karate.

Great work!

Everyone is entitled to their opinions, but not all opinions are equally informed. Strength is but one factor in the fight game. You can darn well bet I will employ a weapon against a massive gigante. Those fancy dancy moves will enable me to slice and dice him to ribbons before he can do anything. Kenpo can make ANYONE a better fighter...period.

How about freestyle techniques of higher belts?

If u learn the art of chikung and exercise it through iron palm , it can damage the internal organs of a person irrespective of his size and shape. I saw a video on tube , there was a guy who broke concrete tiles or slabs with his palm. Kung fu is a mysterious martial art.

NICE! WHEN ARE YOU PRESENTING THE BLUE ANE GREEN BELT FREESTYLE TECHS?........ A STUDENT OF THE ART.....50ways2sunday

wow you have some knowledge...

At first you were referring to a momentum slap that some (original EP) Kenpo practioners use. Then I thought it might be a hand check. Now it appears that Professor Seminerio has a habit of touching his front leg when he re-sets. I'd trade that habit for his skills any day.

So have you used these techniques and they didn't work for you or are you just assuming they won't work because they're different then what you do?

@FranklinGray Actually martial arts originated far before the Greeks.The Indian martial arts are older than Greece's martial arts,and Africa's martial arts are the oldest of all.You're right that James Mitose taught Professor Chow who taught Ed Parker etc.

History: All MA came from Greece warriors. Greece to India, to China, to Japan and other Islands to the rest of the world. Karate in the US came from a watered down instruction by Japanese after WWII. Kenpo is a Japanese family art learned from a Chinese Monk who fled after the temple was destroyed by the emperor. It stayed in the family until James Mitose took it to Hawaii and taught a few including Chow, who then taught Ed Parker who brought it to US. Later he created American Kenpo.

One of these days I am going to have to build a website to explain things to those who can't comprehend the art of American Kenpo, as well as the history of American Kenpo, Kenpo, and Karate because very few seem to understand it. On top of that, where "power" really comes from and how it is different then strength. But for now I will try to explain a little with these little posts.

Dear Professors, would you, please, do the blue belt? Thank you. Raphaello from Russia.

It is near impossible to judge a system by just watching these short clips. Although these gentlemen are providing a nice resource for martial artists and kenpoists alike, it doesn't tell the whole story.

Yeah bro, how much you bench?

@DTBSAI Not true.I use mostly bodyweight exercises,I bench 315 and squat 500.I weight 157,I'm 5'7" AND I'm a 5th dan in Kenpo karate. A powerlifter doesn't have the punching power or real world skill of most black belt fighters.Powerlifters aren't trained to TAKE punches,kicks,eye gouges,escape mount,stop throws and takedowns,etc. By and large,powerlifters can't outfight martial artists, and martial artists can't outlift powerlifters.

American Kenpo is not the same as the Kenpo that came from the Japanese family. Ed Parker did his own analysis of many arts to come up with his American Kenpo which he claims is 10% Kenpo....others claim 5% Kenpo. Kenpo was originally pounced Kempo so that's the reason for the mixed spelling there.

Kenpo rules regardless of others opinions. I am sure you both knew that...

But if another strong determined guy is trained in these skills, perhaps it would be more equal, don't you think?

Because you have strength does not mean your tough. Id bet my money on either of these guys on video with any untrained person lifting twice his weight any day. speed generates power and big guys feel pain like anyone else.

i know this is old but still if u kick a guy in the groin or hit in the eyes or solar plexis he will go down no matter how big he is

@DTBSAI Once again, we have a armchair athlete who thinks that size and strength equals toughness. I've never been impressed by one dimensional weight lifters who fail to accompany their training with any sort of cardio. The bigger guy will not be able to connect, on most occassions, and quickly wear themselves out

If I ran into a guy like that, I'd run, get in my car and hit him with it.

good come back...hahahaha

Wow a bigger stronger guy would be nothin for these guys, just watch how fast they can rotate their hips they would kick any1 in the balls before the other one would even try to do something, I invite you to watch this fight: Royce Gracie vs Akebono. Martial Arts FTW

Why is dude slapping his legs..?

Judging by your comment, you obviously know nothing about fighting. The only time size and power matter is when neither fighter has any fighting skills or when both fighters are of equal skill. Technique and skill win out over brute force. And if you don't believe that, then look up Rickson Gracie or Royce Gracie or Keith Hackney. They are three examples of "smaller" more skilled fighters taking on larger stronger men who outweighed them anywhere from 40 lbs to 500 lbs.

Goh needs to remember to respect other martial artist its sad to see that kind of crap.
