First of all, I'd like to say how surprising and refreshing it is to run across a useful drill that is so clearly explained. Secondly, your presentation is no-nonsense and matter-of-fact transfer of information. Among the plethora of "masters" who promulgate useless crap for the purpose of self-aggrandizement, you stand out as humble and competent. Thank you so much.
Interesting conversations you all are having. I would like to make a couple comments and let you have at it. 1. Kenpo/Kempo are many different systems. Some are more traditional while others are very eclectic and spontaneous in training philosophy. Do not think that all kenpo is the same. 2. I get the impression a lot are arguing about combat sports. You do know there is a world of difference between self defense and competition....I hope. Anyways, back to our regularly scheduled program.
Thank you so much! I will be sharing this with 150 students, if you don't mind....Likewise the more I play the more I learn about it. What you can substitute, what you can't.... Beautiful drill. Kenpo has a lot to teach us all. Osu
Thank you for this videos it actually HELPED. Not like other videos where nothing is explain and they just do fast punches. I look forward to more videos.
Your right drills on targets are for conditioning, reflexes and coordination and sparring and rolling are training for fight, I totally agree with you. My last comment was for to educate the people who say its uneffective to open their minds and start doing this drills for training :) They look very much like my Wing Chun drills :)
Nice flow on the drill. Apparently some people are too dense and completely missed the part where you said this was JUST AN EXERCISE OR DRILL. Just like a boxer works a heavy bag to practice speed and power, so too does the Martial Artist. Absolutely nothing wrong with practicing. Only the closed minded comments from the people who are sitting on their couch at home critiquing others instead of putting in work.
Very fluid, yet POWERFUL as well. This is an excellent drill. I am a fan of Jeff Speakman, and have begun self-training using his videos. I am delighted by your talents. I have seen others perform similar drills, but with very little power. Great job. Please keep posting videos so I can learn from you as well. Rick Andresen
Dear Professor, thank You so much for the lesson. I have found this drill to be interesting and useful, because the technique used in the drill is the Five Swords and is in the very heart of kenpo, and In this case we learn basic striking skills as we deliver them in a flow on both sides. Extremely beneficial drill for those who practice Kenpo. Bless You!!!
this is a very insightful tool to have in mind, its more useful than hitting a student or a partner at full blasts. One can mature the actually power one is putting out and improve speed at the same time, Awesome job Mr. Sevic.
I still do this on my bag at home. Need to come visit you guys. Pat "Terry" McBride, I always was following Chris Long around. Hahaha. Hope you all are well. Send my love to Mr. Saviano.
That's a neat drill! I like how can you use that drill also in varying levels of difficulty. It's open ended that emphasizes continuity, speed, timing, power transfer, and accuracy. I'm going to use this drill. Great job
We do both. You will probably see more of the "2-3 hits per turn" on videos due to it's "wow" factor. Both the 1 hit and multiple hit has its advantages and disadvantages. As to the philosophy and mechanics, I really can't cover that in this forum. Too long and detailed. I will say 2 things. 1. Power loss is not a factor if trained properly. 2. There are more applications than just hitting. Example, check arm - hit.
Nice video... Definately saw 'five swords' and 'trigger salute' in there... :) Transition to the restart looks like a little piece of 'hooking wings' to boot...
@UltraRebels If you find an instructor like this guy, you'll do well. In my time in the martial arts, being subjected to training methodologies that were presented as fighting techniques has been a significant source of confusion for me and is a recurrent weakness in Traditional Martial Arts. This man is honest with his students about what is what.
Since I am the one who created this drill, can't really comment. Most kenpo students can learn the sequence in 30-60 minutes. However, getting it down right can take a while. I have found this drill to expose various flaws in a student's body and striking mechanics.
@zoransevic I have just days ago signed for a beginners course at a local Kenpo club (next semester starts in august). Before that I watched alot of clips here on youtube to find out more about Kenpo and also to find what martial art seems to "fit me" best. I have trained Wadokai Karate for along time but feel I want to try something new. Your videos are some of my favourites. You teach in a good way and choose interesting techniques that makes me want to know more. So thanka alot for sharing!
good to see a kenpo practioner doing a repetitive drill of any sorts. something that i personally was lacking in my kenpo training and had to add later, no offense to the art just my experience. best wishes
Very nice flow drill using variety of weapons. Would like to see if possible to incorporate any foot and or body maneuvering possibly working your way around Bob. Will have to play with this.
I just started learning at yellow belt how to graft the yellow and orange techniques, I mainly like to do Delayed Sword into Five Swords, i'll have to practice and attempt the Five Swords to Trig. Salute. Thanks for that insight.
Thank you for the upload. I am studying the techniques of Kenpo; in comparison to Shotokan. I see it's strong points thus far! I favor this style to Shotokan anyway. Thanks! Keep posting. being a practitioner of Karate is a very effective spiritual endeavor!
All strikes have a chance to kill, even if my accident. Yes there some throat shots in there with some shots to the carotid artery and a few nerve strikes, like the vegus nerve. All of which is meant to resolve a confrontation quickly.
Thanks everyone for all the positive feedback. I love youtube because of the ability to share knowledge. I am really glad that so many of you find this drill of some use. I am also honored by those that feel it is worth teaching their students. Thanks everyone!
Stop hating, this is a training exercise. And by the way as someone who has worked out with Mr. Sevic he really can hit you that many times if he wanted to.
@Kwimalo Very well put! I agree completely. Infact his videos is a big part of why I recently joined a Kenpo club. He made me more interested in Kenpo (I was "looking for a new martial art" to learn besides Wadokai Karate).
@tiggerhong186 Very good observation. I do listen to and feel the rhythm when working flow drills and other techniques. Once one has learned a particular combination of movements, one should move away from the move this arm here while I move foot there. There is a general rhythm one can feel and if one wants to change the effect of said combination, then one only needs to change the rhythm.

Loving the rhythm. Even though it may not simulate a real fight, it teaches you how to use the closest weapon to the closest target.

Nice drill sir 5 stars. loved it real fast and well done.
Master Moran
I just purchased a Bob Dummy. I never trained in Kenpo, but I love this drill.
Much Respect
Thank you for this videos it actually HELPED. Not like other videos where nothing is explain and they just do fast punches. I look forward to more videos.
This is a great flow drill. If more karate schools taught flow drills they would produce far better students.

My last comment was for to educate the people who say its uneffective to open their minds and start doing this drills for training :) They look very much like my Wing Chun drills :)
very nice drill. i have a bob at home and haven't used it in ages. now i have a reason to bring it out again.
Very good instruction, especially the part towards the end where you mention to not just do speed-crazy, no-power movements.
EXCELLENT. Solid teaching. Humble attitude. I refresh on this 1 or 2 x a year.

I really, REALLY miss taking Kenpo !
One of the most beautifully lethal arts in existence.
Nicely done, by the way.
Very nice flow...and doing it slow and smooth before speed ...well said
Thanks 🙏 I've always wondered and wanted to see this type of thing broken down
Awesome video, Sir!!!
Thanks very much. Just picked up the Bob and needed some ideas. This is very helpful and fun.
I practice drills like these on a dummy I bought a few years back. They are very useful and are good for working out. Good stuff, mate :D
A really nice drill, constant flow and chaining. Really nice, thank you, subscribed immediately
Excellent drill, well explained, awesome execution.
I need a BOB in my life lol

Excellent. Thank you for taking the time to educate people. You have an awesome skill. Great stuff...
This looks fun. I'm going to try it.
I really like the statements made at 4:18 speed an power. I don't practice any art but could see the difference in the two examples. thank you
Very nice my son like it it helps me much👍
Great Upload..thanks
this is a very insightful tool to have in mind, its more useful than hitting a student or a partner at full blasts. One can mature the actually power one is putting out and improve speed at the same time, Awesome job Mr. Sevic.

I still do this on my bag at home. Need to come visit you guys. Pat "Terry" McBride, I always was following Chris Long around. Hahaha. Hope you all are well. Send my love to Mr. Saviano.
Really good video, very useful as a training aid and well explained. Thank you for posting it.
Thank you, sir! My son and I are going to incorporate that drill into our training routine.
Cool drill. Good for developing flow and coordination. Look forward to trying it out on my Bob. Cheers.
Very cool drill! Thanks for sharing this.
I really like the drill. I'll be incorporating this into my training ASAP. Nice job!!

Great video, thanks for posting
Thank you for the post! This is a good drill.

Thank you,Zoran..this is a really cool drill.
Great drill.
Just wanted to say good video, Sensei. I'm studying Kajukenbo and I see ALOT of the same techniques here that I do where I train.

Excellent drill sir. Thanking you for sharing your knowledge and showing that the true spirit of kenpo still exists.
A superdrill can not get enough of it
Nice a lot of neat info, Thanks
I love this video! I (really) nice change from the McDojos I am used to seeing on TH-cam. Thank you!
Awesome drill, sensei.
Very awesome and very true I hope and hopefully will be blessed to be given the opportunity to study and learn one day
this is a fun drill to do, thanks for posting this

im not a Kenpo guy, but that was coool. I can see the flow attributes!!!! respect.
I like it. I am going to practice this drill.

Yes. Of course the faster you go, the less pronounced the transition between neutral and forward stances. Which is why I made the comment about speed.
Good stuff Zoran.
Great video. Thanks so much!!!
Great drill thanks for sharing
Very nice flow drill using variety of weapons. Would like to see if possible to incorporate any foot and or body maneuvering possibly working your way around Bob. Will have to play with this.

Great drill thanks.
Thanks, glad you liked it.
AWESOME SALUTE
5 Swords to Triggered Salute grafting exercise... love it. Thanks.

This is a Great workout.
Incredible vid, thank you.

Please post some more drills like this one.
Thank you for your insight!
I am like yourself middle aged, and not exactly an Adonis type...
It is great to see at our age, we are still practicing martial arts...:)
very beautiful very well done

Your very welcome. I did this vid in the hopes that martial artists would find a use for it.
One of the best exercises seen for the rhythm. Do you maintain the same feet position during all the exercise? Thank you
@sandanIII No problem. When it is up and I get a chance to view it, I will give you some feedback.
Thank you for your reply.
1 = I agree that well-skilled power generation and application does not need large motion to be effective.
2 = agreed
@tiggerhong186 Very good observation. I do listen to and feel the rhythm when working flow drills and other techniques.

Nice work. Would like to see more videos on the white tiger system.
cool!! thanks for posting!!
Nice drill
nice drill, thanks.
