prettty cool! always like when somebody says " it just won't happen that way , but.." because thats where the good stuff comes in. i understand when kenpo gets a bad rap for being static, but theres so much good stuff there it's a shame to turn a blind eye to it. mr. bulot is doing the art a great service here
I like this approach. I refer to wrist grabs and lapel grabs, etc. as secondary's, because they are, at best a rare occurrence as an opener to an attack. And I have seen a lot of training that doesn't emphasize the transition when they do occur. Great job.
Good explanation, however @1:58....that weapon will get grabbed by the opponent IF you leave it there upon contact. Very difficult to grab when the weapon is applied like a puncher/boxer would execute it.
This THE BEST 5 SWORDS TO CROSSING TALON COMBO I HAVE SEEN ON THE NET PERIOD. Congrats,sir. But having said that,I must say: the fatal flaw of the 5 Sword base technique (ignoring the left hand of our opponent,not training our opposite side as a base,ignoring opportunities to use 5 Swords v armed and/or multiple assailants,ignoring the possibility of flank attacks,not employing 5 Swords after basic blocks,bobs,weaves,during standing and ground grappling) are still there.
Tim's kenpo lineage is from Larry Tatum and I must say I think his technique and developed concepts are far more polished then Larry's. No offense but Larry in my opinion wanted to be Ed Parker instead of becoming his own persona.
Your Crossing Talon is also superior (especially the front to back switch being specifically emphasized,thanx sir!) but likewise suffers from a lack of insufficient leveraging. A wrestler's 2 on one+judoka-like tai-otoshi snap down and forward+front to back switch+hammerfist block could do it,though.
