The Japanese trem is call kempo spell this way and the closest thing to the Japanese style of kempo is call shorin ryu Kempo in which is in Okinawa and that style teaches originally about 10 to 15 different types of weapons besides the karate katas
+Ricardo Diaz It can be translated as Kenpo or Kempo. My point is Kenpo/Kempo is a Japanese/Okinawan term that is applied to imported Chinese Martial Arts and so Kenpo styles use their own versions of things like Hung Gar. Plus Ed Parker borrowed heavily from Chinese Martial Arts as he developed his own style and may well have adopted Hung Gar exercise forms into his style.
The two man set appeared in Ed Parker's "Secret of Chinese Karate" Jimmy Woo contributed heavily to this work. This was the early days of Ed Parker's Kenpo system and sure enough it is Hung Gar or Hung Kuen. The Kenpo that Ed Parker learned from William Chow had no sets or forms.
The form that Mr parkers friend is doing at the end is a HUNG GAR FORM for all you clowns that think its Kenpo.. Do your research Watch HAWAII MMA KUNG FU EMPERADO SPEAKS
Lol. Kempo is the fighting style created by Shoalin monks and spread throughout Asia. Kung-fu actually refers to the artistic side of it the soft style and kenpo is the hard core self defense. So if you call it Kung-fu karate kenpo or whatever it's actually just variations evolutions and individual expressions of one thing Shoalin martial arts. Booom
+Tango Delta 2 You have to keep in mind the historical aspect of both this video and the training. Do we know more today? Yes. Does Karate / Kung-Fu translate into real fighting.... depends on who the teacher is. There are plenty of MMA fighters (MMA is often used as a benchmark) who still train and use traditional arts. More so today than ever before.
The supposed "historical aspect" of traditional martial arts, was supposed to be that they were forged on the battle fields for hundreds if not thousands of years. Of course, if that were the case, then they would have known that this stuff above is useless. So, it looks to me that gullible westerners were simply sold a bill of goods.
@@Dan.50 actually the idea that pure submission wrestling or sport style is superior is what will get you killed in combat. the stuff shown here is exactly the same as mma, except geared toward real life or death conflict. USA did get the short end of the stick tho, because martial arts started being more about sport and show in the 1920's and didn't get popular in the US until 50's and 60's. So alot of americans don't know the difference between show style and the real deal, but the real deal beats sports style by a landslide. And the real deal is Kung Fu.
