This is an Excellent video. Similar to drills I train; however, the nerve strike and "tapping" the arm are new to me. Thank you for sharing the knowledge Sifu Chapel!
How you doing sir. Ous! It's.been a long time it's good to see.your still the master I remember you to be. This is Officer Bryan Calhoun From back in the weilands days. A friend of Ryan the bar tender one of your black belt students. Glad it still doing what u do so very well.. Hang tough sir. And thanks.
@@rchapel hello sir. Life is good glad to see tour still a Warrior and a teacher of the Arts... your a tough man. Martial discipline has been good for you sir.
@@rchapel, Hi Mr.Chapel, this is your former student, Jim Duncan, retired Inglewood PD. How are you sir? Are you still teaching in Torrance or have you moved? Glad to see you’re still up and at it!
We've been doing this in Shaolin for more than 2,500 plus years and the founder of JKD studied kempo jitsu. One of my instructors Steve Muhammad trained with Bruce so did Ed K Parker, Dan Inosanto and Count Dante ALL kenpoist so maybe that's where you guys got it from decades ago. 😂
Nice handspeed and very sophisticated reasoning displayed here. Looks alot like kali and wing chun drills.Body manipulation for nueral exploitation? Very freeeakin impressive! Stil should be a swifter way to do that without the whole tap-index-top of the arm tap.What about a right upward parry+right downward tap/check/yank with a simultaneous full powered left to the nerve? Are there other ways to more directly and optimally deflect manipulate expose and strike the punching arm and nerve target?
is that negative BAM (0:47) on him just simply because his should and elbow are lifted beyond its bracing angles, or are you making contact with the ulnar nerve or something to "startle" the arm? i cant remember if i've posted or asked this before. forgive me :p
@rchapel That's very interesting.Very.Interesting.So you're advocating the practical combat application of nueral manipulative sciences and using drills that refine motor movements for that purpose? Now...do you have any video of guys sparring? Especially against other disciplines? That's be thee most illuminating by far.
@rchapel Swear to God,Doc...you sound every bit the "doctor" when you elaborate upon the nuances and intricacies of Kenpo.I am constantly impressed with the complex concepts encapsulated within your curriculum yet (for the most part) clearly expressed through physical movement.Very well done sir! Thank you for informing me that what you showed isn't how you actually do it in class.That goes a long way toward relieving my mind.
FUCK!!! im always impressed watching these videos!!!!! He is GOOOOOD!!!!!!! ahhhh crap if only I could learn there.......... I'd give 5 stars if i could!!
Angles circles straight lines and physics supercede size. If you get your hips lower than a larger heavier opponent you can move throw or uproot him for example.I am a kempoist and the style was made to negate size also speed kills so does trickery and deception.🐅🐉 OSU and respect
@rchapel Sooo functional directed sparring is more purposeful? How does that get measured? I'd figure that at some point functional directed sparring would be compared head to head with conventional sparring,so a SL-4 guy should be able to reliably outperforming a standard Kenpo,bjj,wrestling,kickboxing,or military guy.Or say a Kenpo boxing wrestling hybrid guy. Did you and your guys ever perform such a test or did you use other edifying methods?
@rchapel That's really amazing stuff,Doc Chapel! I mean...that stuff would be invaluable to watch and learn from. If you ever get around to letting out videos of you guys sparring non-Kenpo martial artists? Letcha boi know.
@rchapel I heard of that,or something similar to be honest.I heard it long ago but a decade o so ago a program called SCARS made some waves using a similar concept.
@@rchapel meaning no disrespect, I'm sure you are a great martial artist I've known a fair few high level Kenpo practitioners and they are legit. And you are correct we should all train as we see fit. As far as the science goes, could you please point me to any evidence to the statements at 2:25 (how clearing the arm opens up nerves)?
@@Ottepeg89 Over your lifetime beginning when you first began to have control of your body, you have performed various tasks, and in that process created synaptic pathways to the brain that support these many physical activities. Most of them are unconsciously ingrained into your muscle memory and autonomic nervous system. Your body can work efficiently when your body "senses" the need to use or overcome resistance, or inefficiently if you make a conscious decision to do something that contradicts sound body mechanics. Most are "trained" into using poor body mechanics and in many cases have over-ridden and created "bad" synaptic pathways for inefficient and body damaging physical movement. The human body is a great machine if you listen to it. Unfortunately for many, they have stopped listening and retrained it so poorly; they can no longer "hear" what it is saying. You have forced yourself into "Disassociated Anatomical Movement." In Martial Science, much like other sciences, there is a direct cause and effect to all activity. Martial Science draws on many different scientific disciplines, but all are in some way related to one another through the conduit of human anatomy. There exist a significant cause and effect interaction between all the many parts of human anatomy whether static or in motion. You may follow this thread under my name to its conclusion.
In any examination of the many martial postures and their transitions, the efficacy of its many positions is predicated upon, among many factors, weight distribution and an exacting posture relative to the physical activity at hand. The relative position of the feet to each other, and their movement, also significantly determine whether structural integrity is created or maintained. Let’s discuss for a moment structural integrity in posture, movement, and weight distribution. Any variations in these categories beyond proper anatomical posture can diminish or enhance effectiveness on multiple levels offensively or defensively. How you move your body in its entirety, and arms, feet, and even the head in particular, in martial science affects the stability of the complete body for a variety of reasons. For most this probably is not news. However, what is probably “new” information to most is that some of the basic things taught in most “martial arts” fall quite comfortably into the negative and inefficient category. Surprisingly their effectiveness can be demonstrated to be much less than perceived. That is, when these things are tested in the light of reality, they fall well short of their well-intended goals. Lets us define efficiency relative to human physical activity in general, and martial science in particular. Essentially, the “human” machine is a large gelatinous bag punctuated by multiple directionally dedicated and articulated appendages, connected by loose and flexible tissue. This semi-solid shape is supported by an articulated and rigid substructure we call a “skeleton.” This necessary substructure skeleton supports the human body as the primary load-bearing entity, but also simultaneously provides it with mobility and maintains and sustains a general shape. It also supplies the major structural frame for anatomical rigidity on demand.
This relationship between the sub-structure frame, (skeleton) the connecting tissues, (ligaments, muscle, tendons), and the containment vessel epidermis (gelatinous bag) have a constant and perpetually active interaction relationship from one jiffy millisecond to the next. The “system software” or brain constantly monitors all external stimuli from thousands of body sensors and subsequently makes thousands of minute adjustments every millisecond to allow the machine on one level to function intuitively, and on another, to take directed commands from the central processing unit simultaneously. By its very evolutionary design, the human body unit operates in one of two non-destructive modes, either operating efficiently or inefficiently. The inefficient mode I have termed “Disassociated Anatomical Movement.” In order to accomplish this, this extremely complex machine has an inherent ability to “disconnect” or create a more loose and flexible relationship between its many articulated parts, expressly for the purpose of performing movements and/or postures not necessarily anatomically structurally sound, but necessary for fluid human movement. Therefore by the very nature of the body, all movement is not necessarily effective, efficient, or even structurally sound, even though it may be performed quite easily. This is the reason humans do not move like “rigid” robots or automatons. Most modern martial arts place a heavy emphasis on immediate satisfactory results and therefore are usually conceptually driven, allowing practitioners flexibility to achieve immediate short-term goals of questionable or elementary effectiveness. Unfortunately, these arts usually have levels of efficiency defined by some ranking process, and they include belts despite the lack of knowledge and quantifiable basic skills. Clearly, Martial Arts have taken on a business life of its own. A look in any martial arts magazine will yield pages of books and videos for those who believe they can actually learn this way and virtually teach themselves to mastery. When any physical activity is taught with only an emphasis on conceptual movement or motion with no regard for anatomical structural requirements and physical mandates than inefficient movement is the most likely result. The reason this can be confusing is that most martial “arts” instructors teach from this aesthetic perspective emphasizing the “look” over the proper anatomical “execution” to obtain the desired results.
Bravo bravo sensei! This whole video is a life lesson in one of the deepest principles of kenpo, thank you
Looks like hubud lubud, from kali/silat. Very good explanation of it sir.
This is an Excellent video. Similar to drills I train; however, the nerve strike and "tapping" the arm are new to me. Thank you for sharing the knowledge Sifu Chapel!
You're welcome sir.
Great stuff sir!🙏
that was awesome. mad skillz. you know it when you see that speed man. awesome!

I use this drill as well. It's great to build speed and coordination with some flow. That was a really great step by step break down.
Ron, youre the Bomb, bless you....
This drill is parry check punch drill known to jeet kune do people. We used to practice it decades ago, around the mid 80s.
We don't parry and the mechanisms are different. Subtle but substantially different with a different impact.
We've been doing this in Shaolin for more than 2,500 plus years and the founder of JKD studied kempo jitsu. One of my instructors Steve Muhammad trained with Bruce so did Ed K Parker, Dan Inosanto and Count Dante ALL kenpoist so maybe that's where you guys got it from decades ago. 😂
Nice take on the kali/silat hubud drill.
That's just the base we teach beginners. It goes much further than that in applications sir.
Thank you sir.

NO WAY how in the hell dose that nerve work im impressed

fantastic explanation..

GOT DAMN!

As a drill for coordination and speed it looks nice but please leave the pseudoscience out of it - it's nonsense.
How about this, you train the way you want to and leave the science to me because you don't know or understand it.
