KENPO 01-PROTECTING FANS(G.Master Larry Tatum) 

What's amazing about this? It's synchronized combat. How realistic is it to know your attacker is going to throw a 2 piece combo at you? It seems like majority of his videos are for scenarios where the defender knows what attack is coming. The instructor definitely knows and comes up with as much movement and bs as he can possibly make up..

I agree, he is one of the best and Speakman is really good too. A lot to learn from this master of Kenpo.

@@uhohspaghettios9966 Correct-A-Mundo, Spaghetti-O. It is completely unrealistic that a violent aggressor is going to throw a punch from FIVE FEET away, while simultaneously stepping forward, and then leaving his punching arm extended with no retraction so that his opponent can retaliate with a tenstring combo. Back in the 80s before the UFC and before the internet, people fell for this crap because the teacher teaching it had so many pretty black belt degrees to “prove” his credibility. The traditional martial arts are loaded with this unrealistic garbage and are like a cult.

@@uhohspaghettios9966 do you think this is a pub or bar scenario😂 I suppose a lot of "experts" here have practiced with this master, couldn't get it to work (lack of training or no training) then slate and deemed it bulshido! Opinions are irrelevant here, go to a Kempo class and try it!

@@uhohspaghettios9966 Of course it is rehearsed. The purpose is to teach different rules and principals. Consider learning a language and you learn to put basic grammar together to form a sentence. In a foreign language you will learn different verbs in pre-formed sentences as examples and as you progress you build your own sentences as responses which may vary considerably from the ones you learned. These techniques represent those preformed sentences. Just as you wouldn't respond to a specific question with a standard preformed response so you wouldn't with a self defense move. There are so many what if scenarios in an actual fight. Criticize from a position of knowledge not lack of it.

Wtf are you talking about, nothing about this is practical

@@uhohspaghettios9966 Agreed. Traditional martial arts are loaded with theoretical unrealistic garbage. This Master Tatum has seven black degrees, so many people just accept his “credibility” without question. I believe the saying goes, “The emperor has no clothes.”

@@uhohspaghettios9966 wtf are you talking about ? You keep saying this is not practical or effective. I guarantee this guy could kick your ass up and down the street and there would be nothing you could do about it but run for your life crying for your mama. His quickness and power alone will put you on the ground fast.

Left alone the rake-rake nonsense, with 20 years in Okinawa Karate styles this is no proper use of the many mawashi uke/tora guchi applications. This would work on the outside of the arms. On the inside it's way to risky. It's a beginners version - but especially those should be tested and as watertight as possible. Most good techniques would work on the way back home from the eveningclass they were learned. Most of all the other phases our styles teach, are serving me as sensei - the enable me to be a teacher to my students quite longer.

Kenpo teachers talk too much and string together bullshit techniques against limp non resisting opponents. Just like you type too much. Ironic.

Id like to sell you snake oil since your buying this bullshit.

Don’t UFC fighters shadow box, game plan, do situational drills like this?… Speaking as a martial artist and participating in Sport Jujutsu (this is what we did before MMA was legalized in NYS), we do these drills like situational drills (like this) for certain situations. Take wrestling for example, we did ALOT of situational drills. Example: You are anticipating on scoring a blast double leg, the opponent uses not only a sprawl but also a c-grip on the c-spine as well as a means to control and achieves the overbook to accomplish a half Nelson to side mount. From there, the fighter can drill awareness of BOTH bodies, drill circling and other scramble methods. MMA fighters do the same thing: The goal is score a O’ Goshi, retain side mount eventually transition to full mount, rack points and seek out Juji Gatame (arm bar) but they roll up into guard, next phase is maybe Sankaku Jime (triangle choke). Catch the drift? Hope this helped create insight!

Jaguar Strikes Again Exactly! Judging from some of the silly. comments. makes me wonder whst type of instructions. they actually had! If any .😃

This isn't deadly, it's snake oil. Nothing about this is practical. He's blocking a demanded slow motion punch. There is no way this would ever be practical unless you were fighting in VR mode with 1/2 speed

@@uhohspaghettios9966 wow, you really are trolling and spreading your ignorance elsewhere LOL

@@uhohspaghettios9966 oh and by the way yes, it is deadly.

@@punisher7772 “it is deadly” How “deadly” was it when Fred Ettish got clobbered in UFC 2? He was a Kenpo 5th dan. When he fought for real in the UFC, he was afraid to get hit. It’s on DVD. He was clearly shocked when he found that his opponent did not throw a punch from five feet away, simultaneously step forward while punching, or leave the punching arm permanently extended - contrary to the way his teacher taught in class! Traditional martial arts are like a cult. Many people would never consider scrutinizing this material because the teacher has seven pretty black belt degrees.

@@perfectsplit5515 yes , Kenpo is a very deadly art something you would know nothing about. And since you wanna bring up the UFC you forgot to mention Keith Hackney. Just because one stylist lost proves nothing not all fighters are equal and Ettish looked like the kind of martial artist who did only point sparring if anything and he didn't fight like a 5 th Dan. Some people get promoted when they shouldn't and no matter how much they train they are just no good at fighting. Also in my opinion he wasn't ready for competition and was clearly outclassed by a much more experienced and aggressive fighter. Just the facts of the way things are. Oh and Chuck Liddell has the word " Kempo " tattooed on his arm, ever heard of him ? LOL Hey is that you Mr. Spaghetti O ? This your second troll account ? Get a life and stop acting like such a loser. How would an internet geek know anything about fighting or martial arts anyway ?

And I have yet to see someone leave their punching arm permanently extended - while sparring.

He had a great dance instructor yes

Sometimes it looks that way because its done at angle the viewers can see what happening. In class everything is done close because Kenpo covers close, middle, and long range attacks. The REAL problem with this videos is the people who watch them think thats ALL there is to the whole system. Its funny cause these comments let me know if the person has ACTUALLY had training and how much.

@@shozinryu4 The side on bit definitely shows them punching from too far away which is to me teaching bad habits, better to slow it down at first at the right distance then build up the speed as you get better at the drill. I've never trained Kenpo, I'm not going to dump on it overall as an art just based off this. We do one step in ITF Taekwondo I'm not a huge fan of it tbh, but it's part of the curriculum but our instructor doesn't focus that much on it because it's quite unrealistic really. As you say I'm sure there is more to it than meets the eye, it just seems overly complex at times but everyone is different so train what makes you happy I say as long as you understand the limitations of what you do and seek to fill gaps.

@@shozinryu4 Here we go again; please tell me what more (substantial) there is to the system.

Agreed, Ragnar. A lot of the so-called “Street Self-Defense” material in the traditional martial arts are completely unrealistic and impractical. Back in the 80’s we did not question any of it because the teacher was the “wise old man” with lots of pretty black belt degrees. Additionally, there was no RU-vid, internet, or MMA to expose or scrutinize this garbage. Traditional martial arts are like a cult.

Seriously? This video is straight bs. Since when did the defender of a fight know what kind of attack was coming? This video for instance is for when you know an attacker is throwing a 2 piece combo at you. Follow this guy's training and go to ANY other martial art and get your butt kicked.

@@uhohspaghettios9966 Yeah, seriously ! You ever trained in American Kenpo or knew someone who used it to defend themselves on the street ? Because I have. Because if you haven't I wouldn't talk because you don't know what your talking about. And by the way I have trained in this and other martial arts and started boxing in my teens. And also been in some real fights, how about you ?

@@uhohspaghettios9966 and no shit, please tell me something I don't know. This is just training in techniques it's not sparring. You think the instructor doesn't know that ? Of course your not gonna know what attack it will be although nine times out of ten it will probably be a punch and a lot of times it will be the right hand since most people are right handed. Incase you never been inside of a dojo which is probably the case this is how you learn to execute different movements and work on combinations. They know this is not how a real attacker is gonna attack and announce his intentions. And he also isn't going to just stand there with his arm extended and frozen in the air either. This is just for training so you can learn how to fight more effectively instead of just brawling. How about not stating the obvious because it's common sense. Gets really annoying debating with fools and trolls like you because you just don't get it. Also I have a great suggestion. If you ever see this guy attack him for real and see how that works out for you. If you can't appreciate his speed and power and his great form I don't know what to tell you other then you don't know shit.

@@punisher7772 “who used it to defend themselves on the street? Because I have.” Be that as it may, it does not mean that the material being demonstrated here is in any way realistic or practical. Punisher, you claim that you started boxing in your teens. Can you please tell me how many boxing opponents initiated a punch from five feet away? How many boxers stepped forward simultaneously while executing a punch? How many boxers left their punching arm extended permanently after punching? How many boxers froze into a statue after executing a single attack so that you could retaliate with a tenstring combo? If you cannot answer any of those questions with a number higher than ZERO, then it means that your argument has no merit.

@@perfectsplit5515 no, it just means your an idiot who just doesn't get it and I ain't gonna waste anymore time debating with a troll. You didn't understand anything I pointed out so there is no point in making any further comments. SMH

It's very useful - if your bully attacks you the way that sensei said that he would attack in class. Punch from the hip, leave the punching arm extended, and attack from a distance so far away that it would never connect anyway. Traditional martial arts are loaded with this kind of unrealistic impractical garbage.

These techniques are designed to work against an attacker attacking from 3-4 feet away and stepping forward while punching and leaving his punching arm extended. In other words, these techniques are designed to work against attacks that nobody uses.

That's because it was derived from Chuan Fa. Circular movements show a Chinese heritage, like the 'Wax on/Wax off' technique of Goju Ryu Mr. Miyagi taught. You see it in Tang Soo Do (Korean for Way of the Chinese Hand) and other forms also. Originally Okinawans used a seminal form called Okinawa-te (Te=Hand) until Chinese Martial Artists, disguised as merchants secretly taught the Okinawans Chuan Fa to help them against the invading Japanese.

Traditional martial arts are like a cult. Everyone blindly accepts what sensei says because sensei has all those fancy black belt degrees. In all my experiences getting harassed by aggressive bullies in school, none of them ever executed a reverse punch from a far distance away, or punched from the hip, or stepped while punching, or left their arm extended after executing a punch, or turned into a statue after executing a punch. Traditional martial arts are loaded with unrealistic impractical garbage.

I know 😅

​@@fit7113I beat someone using kenpo it's effective 😮

Jaguar Strikes Again At my second school we would spar. with partners. But he had us walk the ( double) line. A double row of. 12_20. .And everyone throwing strikes. Now that made you utilize every technique you learned. real fast! And improvise some hybrid ones too!

Warren Doris sounds like some kind of a guantlet .

Right.🤣🤣🤣horseshit

@@bilbobaggins5815 I wonder if anyone actually punched from the hip while sparring, or stepped forward with a simultaneous reverse punch while sparring. Or while fighting in MMA.

Its 3rd degree brown belt technique

That depends what system is taught in your school. 16/20 , 24 aso I don't know them all and I am not even sure if I know the Names right. My school e.g. teaches the 16/20 System and "circling Fans" is taught in 1st Brown.

Kenpo "Self-Defense Techniques" by GM Larry Tatum.

En.esoañol.por.favor.

I have yet to see any real boxer, kickboxer, or MMA fighter punch from the hip, step forward with a reverse punch, leave their punching arm extended, or turn into a statue after launching an attack. Traditional martial arts environment is like a cult.

@@perfectsplit5515 Yup 🤙

@@perfectsplit5515 Perhaps you are right. I agree that no other fighter, far as I know, would start a punch from his or her hip only. But I am sure that if you visited Mr. Tatum, or any of the "old timers" they could give their reason for such being done as it is. Witnessing the so-called, "Traditional Martial Arts environment is like a cult," myself you might do yourself some good by being there first hand and experiencing how real Tradition can be.

@@jimlowe5433 “you might do yourself some good by being there first hand” I already was; I took 2.5 years of Isshinryu Karate, and it did nothing to improve my combat proficiency or confidence. I knew the moves, but I could not fight with them, despite having a brown belt. Bullies still harassed me, and I lacked the confidence to stand up to them. And later on in 1994 after UFCs 1 and 2, I really got to see what kind of cowards my fellow karateka were. They would all talk about how they would beat the Gracies, or how “Sensei says he can beat them”, blah, blah, blah. And guess what? Not a single one of them ever backed it up, like the pathetic children they were. The two biggest things I learned from karate: 1.) walk away and 2.) do katas. So they taught me to walk away while being in a powerless position. That is pathetic.

@@perfectsplit5515 I was there. But I did not imply you were incorrect but merely wanted to say if you have a disagreement with something that someone does then you should consult the teacher themselves. I have met Mr. Tatum and trained with him, and found that he could back up what he taught. A teacher merely is a guide, and if what they teaches do not give you what you need then seek other instruction. The failure of most systems is why men like Ed Parker created the idea of his system. I further say that watch men like Lee Morrison in his Urban Combatives, on You tube, to see actual application. He trained in a number of traditional methods before learning applications while working as a door man in london. As far as the Gracies go, they are indeed knowledgeable, but they went through alot changes themselves over the years. Not every teacher in the martial arts are experienced in real life. They teach what they were taught. It has to be up to the person learning to find that which works for them.

Great for fighting people who throw punches at half speed with zero force

@@uhohspaghettios9966 Great for fighting mannequins who let you hammer them with a tenstring combo while they stay completely still. Traditional martial arts are loaded with unrealistic bullcrap.

please explain the scenario where he chooses to fight a BJJ guy
