      I don’t think either of them are better than the other, it’s just Symantec’s at this point. Obviously kenpo is not traditional Karate, but it does utilize traditional techniques and combines it with another style of martial arts. There is definitely more circular movements and techniques are more complicated movements in Kenpo. I don’t think either is better than the other personally.

    I love the final word with Seth.
    When he said: "Okinawa...", Jesse's mouth immediately opened on reaction to complete the phrase. The only reason he didn't say it straight away was because he is polite and didn't want to interrupt, until Seth gestured him to complete the phrase.
    Hilarious.

    It's so fun getting to spar people that train in a different style than you do. I used to compete in a bunch of "open style" tournaments and we would fight Kung Fu, Shotokan, Isshin Ryu, Kenpo, and Taekwondo practitioners. It was always fun to see what kind of tricks they had up their sleeves or what their specialties were. Taekwondo fighters were always the hardest puzzles to crack. They are so damn fast and their kicks come from everywhere

    One thing I would note about American martial Arts is that you have to remember back in the 60s and 70s, a lot of the people bringing the arts into the US were returning service members. So a lot of the training also had influences from their experiences and skills such as more modern defense scenarios and modern conditioning methods.

    • @taylorcole7542
      @taylorcole7542 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I think I know the biggest difference between trad and US karate mindset. Seth mentioned narrow focus, and yes but it comes down to this. American karate classes are almost never longer than an hour, and often only once a week for adults (most dojos here cater to kids). Traditional karate commits much more time to the learning environment.

    • @scottmcrawford

Seth is sheer power, super strength, and pumped-up and manly virility incarnate when he does those moves.

    I teach Karate and own a Dojo with my father in America. I use to constantly try to keep our Dojo away from it being “Americanized” but then realized that is not necessarily a bad thing. As long as you are teaching good, effective karate well and you are being respectful to your students (and their wallets), I guess it does not matter too much if some things are different such as wearing a black Dōgi. What also matters is how your Dojo’s practices and attitudes effect the skill and behaviors of your students.
    Regardless, love your videos and insight Jesse!

      What you think of as beautiful movement may not be considered beautiful. Sometimes people use the term Beautiful but what they mean is exaggerated movement with no purpose or something else.
      Most Karate practiced in the world is not Japanese it is a copy of it.

    Both are very good martial artists, love watching and learning from both. Now, I have to say, Jesse is more of the traditional smooth karate that I was taught. I admire Seth’s power as well. Seth just had too much jumping around during the sparring and was winded a little more, where as Jesse was sliding more and more balanced when he attacked. Great video guys! Please do more together!!!

      Maybe it has to do with potential opponents.
      In the west. The chances of fighting someone much larger then yourself is a lot greater. So there needs to be that strong stopping power in techniques.
      In the east. Your opponents build would be more within range of your own. So quick efficient techniques are more valued.
      Just my thoughts.

    • @MrThonyfst
      @MrThonyfst 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I think it's difficult to pick out style differences with only two practicioners; sparring especially feels like it's as much based on the individual preferences and strengths as it is on lineage.
      I've done "traditional" karate sparring before, but people in the dojo had wrestling or boxing backgrounds or even experience with different karate styles prior. I think the label "traditional" makes it seem like the style has remained unchanged since its "creation", but all martial arts change and adapt. The changes just aren't the same as in American karate

    I’m a practitioner of kenpo karate, its more of a mma style (mixed martial arts) mixing various chinese martial arts, it doesn’t take as long to learn as traditional karate because something I’ve noticed in traditional karate you drill one move over and over again in different classes, but in kenpo you can learn various moves and combos then go home and drill them in on your free time

I struggled a lot learning Changquan Wushu because of the muscle memory I'd formed in TKD. Doing a front raising kick during warm-ups and having to keep my heel on the ground was so strange. Vertical fist in Isshin Ryu will likely be a challenge. Love seeing varying styles!

    Great video Jesse. I came up in an American karate Dojo and yes we had different color Gi and did birthday parties on the weekend. (My Kyokushin friend laughed at me about this) However, I am proud to say that I came from one of the few gyms that trained kickboxing style/ PKA style. We sparred often and fought hard and not point fighting. Black belt took minimum 10 years. American karate has dropped significantly since the 80's and 90's but there are a few good dojos left. They are just harder to find. Osu.
