I studied Kenpo in FL under Mike Allen. I got to Purple Belt. One of the things that I enjoy about this system. All of the moves have been intricately designed to maximize efficiency of movement while maximizing inflicted damage at the same time. Many of these moves have 5-6 stages to the attack. In reality though, if you landed 20 - 30 percent of the sequence. Your opponent would be DONE.
@@TheColdSoulz im sure he liked sniffing stuff, and clearly he liked eating at mcdonalds as well haha. but nowadays his fraudulent nonsense wouldn't do so well, he would be openly exposed pretty quickly.
@@Liquidcadmus you're right. Back then people were less knowledgeable and access to information were still limited. They thought Parker was for real since he offered something different. Little did they know that Parker created all these ridiculous techniques in front of a mirror and on paper. No committee or taskgroups to test out the effectiveness and eligibility of them. They swallowed the bullshit like chocolate candy. Nowadays the world of martial arts are more open and any bullshit can be easily detected
These techniques are unnecessarily long and erroneous assumptions are made about your opponents reactions. In a real fight, you might be able to pull of one of these moves but not the entire sequence.
I have to agree with Alejandro's post here. This is lacking the chaos element of real violence. Also, if there was several assailants, you don't have time to spend 10 or 15 techniques on one assailant. This is a bit too ideal / classroom for my taste. However, I can see how someone could say that this is the "ideal phase" of learning and that the sequence is meant to be mostly educational in nature. I can also see how someone could argue that over training in the classroom can always be dialed back for a real violence situation. The student who gets really good at these sequences over years of training probably isn't a complete push-over in actual self-defense situations, so I concede that. However, it does seem like way too many movements and too much ideal assailant reactions without the crazy chaos of real violence. I still wouldn't want to fight him however LOL
These are the base techniques that people see in kenpo vids. It's a starting point. The assailant is not countering typically. You are missing the next 2 stages of development beyond the base technique where the training partner is no longer compliant. You would be totally accurate in your assessment if this was all there was to the development and practice of the techniques or concepts. Recommend doing a bit more research in understanding the training and context relating to the base techniques.
its all part of american kenpo, it works like this: when someone attacks you on da streetz, you being your kenpo, doing silly footwork and esoteric hand gestures, plus childlike mouth sounds.. the attacker will immediately assume you are mentally deficient and will decide to not attack you anymore out of pitty and embarassment. you have successfully avoided a violent confrontation!
Twist stance, the forgotten stance in UFC. You have much more balance with a twist stance than a typical UFC stance. Twist stance also helps against takedowns, you can much just spin around the takedown, rather than going to lie on your stomach like these UFC fighters do. You can clearly see UFC is still a new sport, they have a lot to learn from the old school martial arts! Great instructional!
That initial contact must really stun the opponent hard seeing as he just keeps standing there taking attack after attack after attack after attack after attack after attack while not moving after after attack after attack after attack after attack while not even flinching while being attacked after attack after attack after attack.
Wow! Poked the eye three different times while the opponent just stood there. That would never happen. After the very first movement they’d be grappling, wrestling or fighting.
Long technique chains allow to better improvise your skills in actual combat. They serve as coordination drills for your entire body. Kenpo has served me well in the streets numerous times
SO MUCH ENERGY- SO MUCH REPETITION, THE INITIAL BLOCK IS SO UNREAL!! WHY DO ALL THAT DANCING TO FINISH YOUR OPPONENT. THIS ART HAS POTENTIAL BUT THEY ARE MISSING SOME BASIC PRINCIPLES!!
@@christianyoung405 who the fuck are you mr hard man bet you don't know shit about fighting, trying to look tough by telling me to shut up Tcb is a hater that's why I said what I said don't you fucking start
Lol quan fa ( chiness kempo) mix with ju jutsu and become shironji kempo then an American learn it say that modified for the streets of murica and rename te hniques with awfil name plus his te hniques is useless
American kenpo is not meant for fighting, it's not a martial art. it works like this: when someone attacks you on da streetz, you being your kenpo, doing silly footwork and esoteric hand gestures, plus childlike mouth sounds.. the attacker will immediately assume you are mentally deficient and will decide to not attack you anymore out of pitty and embarassment. you have successfully avoided a violent confrontation!
The title of this video and the technique makes sense: you will find yourself in solitary confinement…that’s if you can find someone dumb enough to stand still for all these techniques to be executed. Newsflash, geniuses (aka Tatum D***riders: if any of these techniques were truly effectively-as presented, you wouldn’t need the other legally questionable follow-through techniques.
