For all of you complaining about the hard contact and lack of control; That's how martial arts are taught and , Learned! Jeff has complete control. He's purposefully showing the impact that can be generated by the techniques. All martial art training comes with pain. I've studied many styles over my lifetime. All are painful to learn. That's part of the point. To respect the power you are developing. Even Aikido, the Way of Harmony, is very painful to learn. Think alot, before you post.
It's not intentional pain infliction, as in some Okinawan karate styles; to build blocking pain infliction. It's simple physics. Some pain is inevitable. Only Tai Chi and Qi Gong are taught and practiced with zero pain. Aikido techniques only work, because if you resist the momentum you created, your joint will fail. That second of pain you feel is the signal to your brain to submit to the move. It's almost unconscious in the moment of contact.
GM Speakman was definitely using some pressure on that student but as a Kajukenbo Practitioner I know very well that the pain is part of the process which makes us remember and appreciate the technique
We practice American Kenpo, not ballroom dancing, dude. Pain is part of true martial arts training. Confronting and accepting pain is how you lam to "steel" yourself against that fear. He's not abusng his power, he's teaching. Did the guy die? Was he crippled? Was he knocked out? NO. He walked off the mat with a realization of what damage can be inflicted with a properly done technique.
I see a lot of MMA people insisting that you have to spar to know what pain is, but I think I prefer this kind of practice, because your are working the techniques, and accepting pain, rather than boxing. I feel like this is more inline with Self-Defense training. IMO. 3rd Degree Old Form Tracy Kenpo. I wish we trained this way, back in the 90's
I see where you're coming from, but also remember in reality nobody throws one punch and then stands there letting you do your perfectly executed technique. Sparring allows you to learn the timing and rhythm needed to pull off the technique against a resisting opponent.
Practical. Approach to kicking reminds me of Wing Chun mixed with Muay Thai (low kicks not lifting the knee and a flat push through kick with lots of torque). Hands again look like a mix of boxing and Muay Thai with some Kempo elements in terms of combinations and approach. I've always respected Kempo's ability to innovate even if I don't train in the style anymore.
Para los tontos que se horrorizan porque el tipo siente dolor...tengan en cuenta que no es un cinturón blanco, ni un amarillo, ni un principiante. Sino un cinturón negro, quizá con algún Dan. Es decir..sabe a lo que va e incluso ya tiene experiencia más que seguro. Por otra parte si no hay un contacto mínimo el aprendizaje no sirve.Esos "maestros" que muestran las técnicas en el aire sin un mínimo contacto simplemente están teatralizando la enseñanza,lo mismo los que enseñan técnicas inútiles e impracticables y lo peor que empondéran a los alumnos con una falsa seguridad conduciéndolos hacia un desastre seguro. Por eso aplaudo al maestro J.Speakman. por enseñar de esa forma.👍👏👏👏💪🙋🏽♂️🇦🇷
if you aint making contact you aint doing shit this aint point karate this technique got through and it works stop trying to sanitize the martial arts if you dont feel a certain level of fear your at the wrong club!!
UKE It’s going to remember that technique better than anyone! LOL. GM Jeff isn’t pulling any punches and kicks here he’s throwing those cakes in there much to the discomfort of OK
You must be a professional victim. Casting out negatives won't get you a positive in return. But keep trying to do the same thing and end up getting the same results (insanity).
A friendly note here. I would not call this abuse.This is just part of American Kenpo. We don't hit to break our uke, but in order to learn how a techique works and how it must be applied, we try it on our selves with controlled force. I've trained American Kenpo for almost two years. No one had ever hurt me badly during training, but I've felt first hand how my limbs are rendered momentarily useless or how a controlled blow had made me expose other targets so a techique can be applied easily. We all experience both the giving and the receiving sides starting from white belt so it is certainly not abusing. Kenpo is not the only martial art where some heat is experienced. Karate Kyokushin Kai for instance is really hard and not for the faint of heart, their kicks are really devasting and are executed with full force. MMA, and regular boxing, are all for full contact and nobody calls this abuse. I guess it all depends on what we look for when we decide to train any martial art. Some people just want to be able to perform techniques in the air which is fine. Some of us want to learn something that could help if we are confronted. Some others enjoy adrenaline and enjoy fightting in a ring to prove how good they are, which is also fine as long as no one gets killed.
2:11 - "I'm 238 pounds" Actually Jeff, you should be 190lbs fit and trim. It's hard to get in shape after you've let your body goto pot after rounds of steroids, but we the Kenpo community believe you can come back from "Man the Harpoons Kenpo".
Mr Schultz he had cancer dumbass and last night a fat guy knocked out an In-Shape dude so what are you talking about which is some keyboard Warrior would be afraid to fight someone in real life
So what's wrong with him? Why is he hurting his partner like that? It doesn't mean he knows how to fight or that he's better in a fight than his partner. Sickening. It seems Jeff needs a good beating to enter... humility.
