Another outstanding video. Good representation of shao lin kempo. If good people would walk in an studio and get the whole intake of what's happening with skill set training it would blow their minds. little different in variation at my studio.
great video I am learning Okinawan kenpo and my teacher likes to teach us how defend against a strike or a grapple by coming at us in real time and retracting his punches and not leaving them out there so each of us has our own unique way of defending different strikes and techniques is this a effective way to learn self defense? and also I take combat jeet kune do and this teacher does the same except he teaches the concepts of kenpo and jkd not the techniques is this effective or am I at a blackbelt mill?
Sounds like your teachers are teaching you well! The techniques are simply a vehicle through which you may learn the concepts and be introduced to vocabulary of motion. The most important thing is to have an understanding of the proper execution of the basics as well as the concepts which tell you how to effectively apply them.
i like yr princbles how you take from american kenpo sholin kenpo you are among one of favorites to watch ice been in kenpo for ocer 25 years but i just wayched a video from st matthew ma arts cdnt believe how young they ranke d aperson who looks like under 35 a6th dan it boter s me and the material omg what im tring to say is keep up the great work
I'm in Mitchell kenpo. I see 3 techniques right there. In blue belt....ALMOST GREEN... I like the eye of the storm!..trap the arm. Rear leg trip heal palm clothesline.. Classic
sorry to say but this kind of block/attack combo only works with guys which have no clue about fighting and how to strike a correct hook...on my point of view
And just how many trained martial artists do you know go around starting fights? How many people in the overall population have any kind of martial arts training, let alone good martial arts training? Look at footage of street fights. The overwhelming majority of attackers aren't all that good. They especially aren't expecting their target to fight back since they wouldn't be attacking otherwise; they'd find easier prey. Lastly, this is a teacher taking a technique and breaking down the principles behind it (get out of the way of the worst of the incoming attack, give them something to think about other than hurting you, disrupt their balance, etc). This isn't the only way it can go down. He had a lesson plan in mind and then picked a sequence his students are familiar with to carry the lesson. Your approach seems to be "a jab can only be a light hit that stings the other guy's nose" instead of "hey, look at the mechanics being used. A jab can cut down incoming attacks, you can leave it hanging to stiff-arm the other guy and disrupt his attack, you can sit on it and put some power and weight behind it to do actual damage beyond a swollen eye" and so on.
No disrespect intended, Sensei but I couldn't help but notice that that you didn't address the potential left hand strike that you were open to throughout most of this demonstration.
Ahhh! I was just about to make a comment on this! I'm in a flame war right now with some one who does Kempo. I do MMA and the little prick is trying to say how MMA lacks the Art in Martial Art. So i hop on here to see what kempo is....I am not impressed
I too wanted to address that left hook. Thanks Berserker! I love Kung Fu, but I have also studied many other arts over the decades. To and including a few years where I was the beginning boxing coach at my brothers gym. That left fist just kept sticking out in my head, and would not go away.
@Yung Dripy oh that was just an observation mate. I'm usually ok in my own defense. But as a coach I tend to notice those consistent openings and patterns.
Originally they had the technique as stepping back as he strikes into a cat stance with left perry knife block before coming in and striking his face then wrapping his arm. This way makes much more sense.
Yes, for the single right roundhouse punch. The parry was for execution against a right kick then the same hand goes high to jam a right punch when the person landed the foot.
@Yung Dripy dude that move isn't going to work. I am older now but was in a bunch of street fights in my life and also did boxing, kickboxing and grappling. Anyone who is tough is going to walk right through that claw. That can't stop anyone who is aggressive. Plus the odds that your opponent is going to be in the position you expect is close to zero. You gotta spar to learn to be effective in the street.
@@mayorcurley3321 well sparring & Self defense are two different things .. Self defense is a surprised attack sparring is more like oh i know we about to fight which is good as well for streets because in some cases its been times when two people know they are about to engage in combat . as well some people male or woman have nails that claw will work fine . if not nails then the claw is for poke in the eyes just maybe if not then distraction .
Its a 50% chance you will meet somebody in the streets that dose boxing my guy .. I have train n boxing and other styles .. Just because u think that would not work thats you.. All that cage fighting bull cramp is nothing compare to the streets your mind set is focus on one person .. Different thing in the streets . yeah pretty sure you never stay in urban part of citi were crime is high so yeah i have had my share of fights .. Trust me if somebody did front grab bear hug you have not even second to do the eye strike before your own the ground trust me if will work . i wont say claw but eye poke yeah it can be affective ..bruce lee was famous for that you learn how to adapt throw away what dont wont .. As well change the eye claw to a two finger point its simple .
@@mayorcurley3321 yeah if you think so i dont much talking .. Who cares how many people u knock out i fight to survive daily .. I would love too see your skills im in raleigh NC lets get together tough guy
maybe you should teach your students how to punch. Why is he doing a round house, totally telegraphing the punch instead of a straight front two knuckle punch. It is easy to defend against the punch your attacker is doing. It is much more difficult to defend against the straight in punch. Please don't get me wrong. I like the defense strategy. I like the technique but I just don't like how your opponent is never trying to actually hit you. You are never actually defending yourself. To qualify where I am coming from, I took Shaolin Kempo Karate for a year from a two bit school that had me at a brown belt after just over a year. I then went to train from a Veitnam Vet that realized a lot of Karate being taught at the time (late 1980s / early 1990s) was just a recreational form of Martial Arts. Having been in life and death situations (as a Vietnam Vet) he left the teaching he had had as a fourth degree black belt, and perfected his knowledge of the art of fighting. When I joined him he had two other students. One was a Blue Belt and the other a Green Belt. They both could kick my ass with no problem. By the time I left his teaching we were all Brown Belts and I was just as good as them. When we did Combinations and Kempos the attacker actually tried to punch the opponent with a real Karate punch, not some round house or telegraphed punch. The person defending the attack actually went through the whole routine. It was the defender's responsiblility to not strike the attacker, which sometimes happened, and it was the attacker's responsibility to hit the defender, which rarely happened. You can't teach self defense if the defender is never actually defending themselves.
Started kenpo karate in the 70s 80s now 2019 learning more
Beast💪💪💪
This could be an interesting style of fighting!
I like how experimental it is!
Sounds like someone who never fought before teaching people how to fight.
Website says they stopped offering "in person" lessons and will be promoting their "digital dojo".
.
You guys are awesome.
Thanks for the video

Good teaching on combo 1. So many people don't hit with that palm heel before the rake.
+blockmasterscott Thanks for watching, glad you liked it!
An excellent and insightful explanation of the combination. Thank you sir
My pleasure, thanks for the kind words!

Classic
What if he throws a straight cross
When u palm strike him
He can still strike without rotation of the body
Inverse punch or a flicker jab ...
NO POWER...MEANS WASTED ENERGY... TECHNIQUE, POWER, THEN SPEED (TPS)
I was thinking the same thing. You face is wide open to get hit with his left
Good stuff!
after my belt test i didnt get any idea on how to do 1 or 10 combination or 1 cata. Thanks for this video.
All all good in the training hall but in the real word when faced with an angry violent adversary this doesn’t work
I've always disliked this technique, and I was doing it for years until I moved on to other arts
sorry to say but this kind of block/attack combo only works with guys which have no clue about fighting and how to strike a correct hook...on my point of view

American Berserker and many martial artists aren’t at all impressed with any of your MMA
@@Dogger1230 I don't care of I'm i pressive or not. If I can kick your ass then I don't care
@Yung Dripy oh that was just an observation mate. I'm usually ok in my own defense. But as a coach I tend to notice those consistent openings and patterns.
I do karate, I know 1-26

Yes, for the single right roundhouse punch. The parry was for execution against a right kick then the same hand goes high to jam a right punch when the person landed the foot.
I think the technique is decent. I think it would be much more devastating if we he locked the elbow he tore it before his step through and sweep
That claw won't work. Bring some boxers in and have them throw that punch at you.
@Yung Dripy dude that move isn't going to work. I am older now but was in a bunch of street fights in my life and also did boxing, kickboxing and grappling.

None of this. None of this is any good.
