@@complexblackness that's true though I often wonder why people don't acknowledge that Sijo Emporado himself thought Wun Hop Kuen Do was the most advanced version of Kajukenbo.
A lot of people like Emporado and Parker were teaching martial arts while continuing to evolve. Their students at the time may have earned black belts and teach what they learned. But the they did not incorporate the more advanced teaching that the founders later incorporated into their own training. Therefore while we often here of "original" methods as being the best often they are the least advanced. This is clearly illustrated in the history of Kajukenbo as Sijo Emporado himself if we listen to his words.
Thank you so much. I have taken 3years of Karate at two schools and have not had the detailed instruction in this 40 minute video. I’ll definitely watch more!
I Really like Larry Tatum's Kenpo .. Not only how Great Larry is on Kenpo.. Larry put's a little Kung fu in it .. Wonderful Thank 's Master Larry Tatum !!!
I am truly enjoying this. I was taught Kenpo but it was masked with some taekwondo. Our instructor threw out all the terminology like "Bow stance" etc. He just said, "Stand like this." That was all. The only things that had names were the strikes. Front kick, side kick, round-house, hook kick, jab, cross, hook, upper-cut and a few weird ones like "Bear claw" and "gut grabber." So going back through these basics I can see why we had the stances and now I know the story behind them.
The concave stance, also known from wing-chun, has much, much more importance and applications than to kill a lying opponent (e.g. to protect your balls and also against foot sweeping). This one was a little disappointing for me in the otherwise excellent presentation.
Larry, three young ruffians cornered me in an alley last week. While I tried to explain to them that I needed to get into cat stance at a 45% angle they proceeded to throttle me to within an inch of my life. What did I do wrong? Also, are you a top or a power bottom?
@@wilp9255 It is almost as if you are unaware that there isn't a single bit of useful information in this video unless you were in a full contact fight with a mannequin.
@@HArryvajonas And how did you learn to walk, talk, or anything else in life? How did you learn to drive a car? Mechanics are the way to understand motion. Learn the form of a movement, then apply it. Learn the Alphabet...A B C etc. Learn how to sound the letters. Then learn to put them into words, then sentences. You learn any other method like boxing....How to stance, how to make a guard, how to make a fist, How to jab, how to cross, how to hook, how to uppercut. Then how to move while punching. How to hit the heavy bag. How to hit the speed bag. Then you learn combinations. Etc Etc.
When he gets in to blocking and parrying punches, the problem I have is some people are fast and feint and they don’t leave their punches out, they pull their punches back. I also notice when he shows how to block hooks the guy throwing the hook isn’t even in striking range.
Are you for real? Tatum was Parker's top student for decades and both traveled to Japan and China to study with the old masters. This is not MMA, junior.
Wow...Japan AND China! This guy looks like a hairdresser from 1985 and he fights like one. Nice 'Stache though. I guess the 'Stache generates his chi power for all of his lightening fast back fists to the rib and his quaking power hand almost throat chop.
