YOU MUST LEARN THE ART, THEN YOU WOULD UNDERSTAND, BUT SINCE YOU HAVN'T, THIS DUMB USELESS COMMENT EXISTS.

Practise. i thought the same too but once you learn it its easy to remember

+Positive J I agree. One of the few martial arts that can be applied to any other form of fighting styles.

Nonsense!!

You tried to make a joke and couldn't even read the name of the technique properly?

Ed Parker could sniff you up his nose like a coke booger

@@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

@@Rizaldjohan dope

@@Liquidcadmus your full of shit pussy

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!

Maybe if you trained in this art, you would understand but you havn't, so therefore this useless comment exists.

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.

Finally! Somebody on here who knows what they're talking about...

RIP

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

Stfu

@@themartialartist1929 Yeah shut up because I don't like what your'e pointing out!

@@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

NAH kenpo will work in the street

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!

@@Liquidcadmus stfu you can't fight for shit

nothing in american kenpo would work in a real fight.

Yea totally. The other guy isnt just going to stand there and let you go through the entire technique lol @@Liquidcadmus
