I so wish there more of these were made, they are pure gold, so packed with info, you can spend moths just replicating and fully understand the principle involved .
I miss going to his school I live in Phoenix Arizona I miss training but it’s way out in Gilbert this is the best school in the whole world grandmaster sensei Jeff Speakman’s Is the best school in the whole world I am happy that I met him before and trained with him and his seminar at our dojo I hope he makes more schools in Phoenix Arizona so I can go every Time to train I love his school I really miss it
thank you i use to take kenpo with mr ed wilson and miss massey at the time going back to the 2000 or so and seeing these videoes help me remeber at practice on my own sensei speakman thank you
The first time i seen jeff in a movie doing kenpo i was so impressed with it ! That is what id love to learn more then any of them! And jeff as a person i get impression he is really a good guy ! And a fine actor i think !! Awesome guy !!
I just got ed Parker's book kempo karate from 1960, it's vary similar to your kempo 5.0, i just started training from it the other night, looking forward to seeing more of you videos....
@gabeschlaf Kenpo's Tailoring concept adapts Kenpo to the individual. In his books, Mr. Parker specifies that we are to use The Ideal Analytical Technique Phase--which is a PROCESS BY WHICH WE CRAFT OUR TECHNIQUES, NOT A SINGLE PERFECT INFLEXIBLE TECHNIQUE--to do so. There are 4 phases: The Ideal [ select a common street attack and have the attacker really attack, no fake stuff, then use Kenpo techs to thwart the attack ], The What If& Formulation Phases, and Equation Formula.
0:05 right foot hook moves behind their right ankle tripping them violently slamming them into the ground followed by face kick/stomp. One fluid movement.
note that the animosity between Sijo Chow and Mr. Parker grew over the years. Mr. Emperado did basically the same thing as Mr. Parker but both gentlemen were treated differently by Sifo Chow with Mr. Parker treated as 'the black sheep' for various reasons. I believe this also influenced the direction of EPAK. Especially since Will Tracy, a student of Parker;s was given a Black Belt by Sijo Chow long before Parker was offered one, one that he turned down and demanded a higher rank.
In other JS Kenpo 5.0 videos you sometimes see comments from people who don't understand the intention of these kata's. They usually say "How is any one going to remember all that in a real fight?". When the idea is to take bits of that kata (or any kata). and apply it where they think it might work. Take what works is the key. Some of that wouldn't or be effective (e.g. back knuckle..punch at the the end...used assuming you've slowed him down with the elbow to the chest...bone to bone...the guy might still move at the last sec...then your hand is fractured or broken hitting the attacker at the end)..I'd finish with a palm strike to the chin or nose).
was edmund kealoha parker a talented martial artist and of black belt calibur - absolutely. but he also played fast and loose with history and dates in his books and what he told his students and may have exagerated his standing with GM Chow. To his credit, if not for him - Kenpo may have ended up a obscure martial art today.
Parker claimed he started with Frank Chow and later William Chow because he saw Frank dispatch a bully so easily when he was so much smaller than the bully. However, it's hard to believe that anyone trained in Judo would be surprised that a smaller man could defeat a larger man. Judo players are famous for defeating larger men. Parker's father said the reason he had Ed study Judo was so Ed could defend himself against larger boys and bullies who made fun of him being a Mormon.
@MechPhantom In China it is not seen as a style itself, rather it is considered as just one of the components of Chinese martial arts training and is often taught alongside with taolu (forms) training. However, as part of the development of sport wushu by the Chinese government, a standard curriculum for sanshou was developed. It is to this standard curriculum that the term "Sanshou" is usually applied. rn combat fighting techniques, basically chinese kickboxing.
@MechPhantom the answer to that is yes, np, maybe. in other words EPAK 5.0 is a Hybrid Art or Mixed Martial Art. It has aspects from Kung fu as well as Judo and Karate and other things. EPAK and EPAK 5.0 both is and is not kenpo as Kenpo as Ed Parker taught it really had only ten or twenty percent or so of the Kenpo as taught by GM Mitose and GM Chow and GM Chang.
@naumutroi yea jkd is bsed on wing chun, but only mixed with other styles such as grappling and stuff that he learned in other martial arts, best thing about it is that it focuses on only and striclty simple and basic movements, no fancy stuff or wasted motion, this is what i call a REAL martial art, just like kenpo above, peace see u man
THEIR BEST AND ONLY STRENGTH IN THIS STYLE IS THEIR FAST HANDS! EVERYTHING ELSE IS IMPRACTICAL. WITHOUT THEIR SPEED THIS STYLE IS NOTHING. HOWEVER, IN REAL LIFE YOU DO NOT WANT TO RELY ON ONLY ONE COMPONENT IN FIGHTING. YOU WANT TO HAVE SEVERAL COMPONENTS TO DO THE JOB.
What do you mean when you say obscure?Is EPAK an effective system in your opinion? i wanna start kenpo but i hear many good things about it but also many bad things.
@naumutroi and kenpo fits like hand to glove with both systems. Not surprising to learn, then, that before Dan Inosanto trained with Bruce he trained with Mr. Parker, and Wally Jay and Mr. :Parker were lifelong friends.
Shihan Speakman performs this technique most excellently. Now - when you buckle the opponants arm you open up a possible headbutt or a dumog style throw-takedown as options. I do not like the idea of buckling the arm before the elbow strikes since my opponants elbow will now be in my way BUT my opponants head is open for those same elbows and back knuckle strikes. In my version I dont elbow the body, I elbow the head. And finish with baliog pomali.to take my opponant down.
Parker claimed his first instructor in kenpo was frank chow and now william chow. Parker claims that he was sixteen at the time Frank Chow began teaching him Kenpo in 1947. The problem is, Parker started training in Judo when he was twelve years. Parker was a Judo Shodan when he graduated from high school at the age of 18 in 1949. Interestingly, Parker removed most of the jujutsu in Chow Kenpo when he renamed in Ed Parker's American Kenpo.
if i were to study EPAK i would study under those i have mentioned. There may be one or two others whose name escapes me. The major difference and there are many between EPAK and Karaho / Koshu-ryu is that karaho and koshu-ryu are virtually pure versions of kempo. EPAK contains maybe ten or so percent of Kempo and yet it called itself Kempo when ninety percent of it is not kempo.
@MechPhantom kung fu is multi-faceted. You get out of it what you put in. if you look at li jun fan's Jeet Kune Do the vast majority of all the arts and techniques within JKD is from chinese martial arts. Sanshou also known as sanda is a chinese combat "sport". It was originally developed by the Chinese military based upon the study and practices of traditional Kung Fu and modern training methods.
@MechPhantom peace. wing chun does not have a lot of weaknesses really or else li jun fan would not have made it the foundation on which he added everything else. while he lived he always gave respect to ip man and to wing chun. the weakness is in the practictioner it was his sifu who gave him the idea of the water principle. The heart and soul of JKD is wing chun. When Li created jun fan gung fu and later, JKD he had the blessings of his sifu, Ip Man.
@ATACXGYM more often than not a sequence as displayed will not end as displayed in sparring or in a street fight. one can look at each set as like music. you learn it and then disect it and mix and match. a fight is spontaneous and is never set. by taking a technique and working it and working it you find all the many variations. too many kenpoists robotically follow the sets and not really train for nor take into account of the spontaniety
@naumutroi Music is a good analogy that Mr. Parker was said to use as well. I tend to use dance and rhythm. First learn the dance steps, then learn the dance steps to a particular beat. Then learn to feel any beat to any tune or music...and you can always dance to it. First learn the fight tech steps. Then learn the steps as applied to a specific attack. Then change the range and requirement of each new attack and fit your tech's steps to the new beat of the new attack. Fight rhythm.
@TheMDBJJ Standing crane has many permutations. When stopping the double leg, you use the Wings...which are several expression but include elbows and yes under and over hooks. The sprawl is similar to a horizontal Bow Stance. All of wrestling's techs are in Kenpo because Mr. Parker trained in wrestling and judo. How many wrestlers do you know that can kick, stop knives, use palm strikes, and strike anatomical targets? Kenpoists do.I train in bjj too,btw.
Never thought of that....he would've been great as Batman and Bruce Wayne, and he could have done all his own stunts. Clooney was the worst Batman ever!
@KidsKicksforChrist I'm not debating the effectiveness of striking someone in the nose and the ability of such a technique to crush their face, I just wanted to clarify that you cannot actually drive the bone of a person's nose into their brain. I didn't want someone to read that comment and believe it as it was which would just perpetuate that false martial myth.
+Univox sixtyeight I know what you mean,I agree with you. I am skeptical of a lot of these Martial arts or practitioners but, Jeff Speakman is about the only guy I believe would really fuck someone up.
I agree lol.. Having a sequence of counters is never going to work unless the guy is a wooden dummy. Utterly absurd the guy will just stay there while you hit him several times lol.
@ATACXGYM its hard to imagine "standing crane" against a double leg takedown. ive been in fights and unfortunately things dont go as planned. id rather train for real situations
@naumutroi damn this art is badass xD for me its more simple ,effective than modenr kung fu nowadays ,coz kung fu is more perforamcne than fighitng now. But sanda is real kung fu fighitng the rest isnt much
I know that when GM Chow had his last seminar in California before he died Parker forbid any of his students to attend. Paker had the opportunity to settle up but never did it. I know that the closest to Parker getting a black belt in Kenpo was from GM Emperado. I know that when GM Chow finally did offer Parker a black belt certificate it was not written on official stationary and Parker refused it and demanded a 3rd Dan.
mt8300 look idiot people like you are stupid and can’t see what’s going on there’s two ways todo this this technique I have the one with the a straight punch now after I land that punch to your fucking face you ain’t gonna see what ima do after the idea is to be fast and yes there’s some styles with bullshit movement unrealistic but techniques are just meant to spark a reaction to defend against something this ain’t no damn movie it’s not gonna go so smoothly
Jeff speakman jamás fue alumno directo de ed Parker lamentablemente aprovechó la muerte del gran máster Ed Parker para hacerce publicidad con el legado del kenpo karate, los más cercanos al gran máster saben que todas las películas que él hacía le tocaban al maestro FRANK Trejo pero lamentablemente buscaban a un actor que estuviera carita, en el árbol genealógico desde los Primeros alumnos hasta que murió el gran máster Ed Parker, jeff jamás aparece como alumno del gran máster, Ed Parker puso como vicepresidente del american kenpo karate al máster Dan Rodarte y abrió una escuela junto con el maestro Hector García ambos directos 100% alumnos de del gran máster Ed ParkerCalifornia, En su escuela de kenpo en pasadena se quedó el maestro frank trejo RIP😢 todos ellos saben la verdadera historia del falsante de Jeff ya que a muchos les ha mentido que es 100% americankenpo, le pueden preguntar a la larry tatum él también sabe la historia de jeff, así que no se dejen engañar de un vividor mentiroso😊

@naumutroi but yea JKD and sanda, fucking works no question asked, too its pretty modern, most chinese traitional MA arnt really practical and quite outdated in terms of fighting and most of it doesnt seem to work in this days fights. SO yea sanda and JKD Are basically chinese styles that evolved for the better. Thats why lee created JKD, coz he found out wing chun has ALOT of weaknessses in it. pretty true, but kenpo in the vid above owns !
@naumutroi I've used this tech while sparring with only hand wraps in the Long Beach Kickboxing Gym. Worked like a charm. Like 99% of Kenpo techs? The guy was toast long before I finished the whole tech sequence.
@gabeschlaf Not sure about the idea of American Kenpo being fitted for a giant sized Samoan. Ed Parker wasn't that size, remember? I've been doing American Kenpo for decades--functionally--and I'm 5'7" 160 at MOST. Lol.
@ATACXGYM thank you my friend. you are too kind. Shihan Speakman is a most excellent martial artist and EPAK 5.0 is effective. my comments are merely my preferance and nothing more. The self defence sets are - to paraphrase Li Jun Fan - it is like a finger pointing the way to the moon. Concentrate too much on the finger and you will miss all the heavenly glory. the usefullness of the finger is in pointing away from itself. "Triggered Salute " is a means to an end,
I am glad you are still with us but kenpo is very out of touch with todays self defence. I am a personal protection specialist and my MMA training with street application is much more aggresive. I have 7 diciplines to help me get out of danger. You want to try the mix, man, it has save my life and I don'y carry a gun. I had to get a person away from mt client and he was out striking me, so I went right into judo then ground and pound.
@naumutroi continued nshou to looks more kickboxing that a kung fu,chinese style . Yea coz most chinese art wouldnt work after chinese communist took over china in the 40s etc. Before that i know there were alot of good and real masters but now nah and sadly never. still sanshou is is hybrid martial art , best knug fu style for me and also number 1 combat style in china now. peace
@gabeschlaf I haven't read all 5 volumes of Infinite Insights so I don't have an informed opinion on the whole thing, but what I did read wasn't hard to follow for me. But many Kenpoists who spar less and are less physical than their fighting brethren spout esoteric kenpo jargon; it's akin to making up for their lack or lesser physical skills by over-intellectualizing. The balanced Kenpoist balances mind and body and consciously well grounded in Kenpo principles and concepts
Edmun Kealoa Parker was only a Brown Belt under Grandmaster William K.S Chow and not even one of his best students. Always in and out. Never really with Chow consistantly. Parker was a Brown Belt when he taught at Byu and when he taught and opened his schools in California. Parker was only Black Belt in Judo. Only 10% at best of the Kenpo that Chow taught Parker is in Ed Parker's Kenpo. Kajukenbo is closer to what Chow taught then EPAK and Kajukenbo is a mixed martial art.
EPAK is not exactly Kenpo. It has kenpo in it just as Kajukenbo has kenpo in it and like Kajukenbo it is a mixed art. if you desire to learn pure kenpo then you need to find a teacher who teaches karaho kenpo or koshu-ryu kenpo or something like that. if you wish to learn EPAK then i suggest learning from Jeff Speakman or Larry Tatum.
a bit more complex than needed...... Martial arts are designed to be the acyronym of K.I.S.S. ( keep it stupid simple).... this is very deadly to those who atempt to do these complex moves
I have been saying this for years, even Speakman has been brain washed in swearing by Kenpo. How stupid can someone be to believe in this terrible system. I have been in the arts for 25 years and in my studies wrestling, boxing, kickboxing, judo and jujitsu work the best. I teach one on one and in one year my students look like trained fighters who learn what works in a street fight and what does not. I have them sparring me on the first day so that they know how it feels.
clearcombat you have no clue what you're talking about. Kenpoist spar all the time and it's a stand up striking art that utilises kicks knees elbows groin shots head butts, everything. If you want to learn a ground art than cross train in BJJ. Kenpo is a system not a style so its it's encouraged to bring ideas from other arts to improve yourself.
I SEE 2 BIG MISTAKES IN ALL THEIR MOVES-- 1ST THEIR INITIAL DEFENSE/BLOCK IS TOO SLOW, WOULD NOT WORK. 2ND THEY ENGAGE THEN DISENGAGE THEN THEY ENGAGE AND THEN DISENGAGE, ETC. NO. WHEN YOU ENGAGE YOU CONTINUE UNTIL YOUR OPPONENT IS FINISHED DO NOT DISENGAGE- FINISH HIM.

love his kempo 5.0, watched soooo many times perfect weapon, the expert any times, he is really good.
The perfect weapon was an awesome movie. My dad got to meet Jeff, but sadly never spared with him
Jeff Speakman at his finest.
I so wish there more of these were made, they are pure gold, so packed with info, you can spend moths just replicating and fully understand the principle involved .
Thanks to your movie "Perfect weapon, enter the dojo for class, that tune "The Power" plays in my head
I miss going to his school I live in Phoenix Arizona I miss training but it’s way out in Gilbert this is the best school in the whole world grandmaster sensei Jeff Speakman’s Is the best school in the whole world I am happy that I met him before and trained with him and his seminar at our dojo I hope he makes more schools in Phoenix Arizona so I can go every Time to train I love his school I really miss it
thank you i use to take kenpo with mr ed wilson and miss massey at the time going back to the 2000 or so and seeing these videoes help me remeber at practice on my own sensei speakman thank you
Amazing! Very nice breakdown and demonstration!
The first time i seen jeff in a movie doing kenpo i was so impressed with it ! That is what id love to learn more then any of them! And jeff as a person i get impression he is really a good guy ! And a fine actor i think !! Awesome guy !!
The perfect weapon. Love this guy.
I just got ed Parker's book kempo karate from 1960, it's vary similar to your kempo 5.0, i just started training from it the other night, looking forward to seeing more of you videos....

Palm heel strike: Point of origin, obscure zone, path of action. A few of the original EPAKS concepts. A favorite love/hate technique of mine.
he is the perfect weapon
note that the animosity between Sijo Chow and Mr. Parker grew over the years. Mr. Emperado did basically the same thing as Mr. Parker but both gentlemen were treated differently by Sifo Chow with Mr. Parker treated as 'the black sheep' for various reasons.

Most important rule of fighting. Have a completely compliant non aggressive opponent.
was edmund kealoha parker a talented martial artist and of black belt calibur - absolutely. but he also played fast and loose with history and dates in his books and what he told his students and may have exagerated his standing with GM Chow. To his credit, if not for him - Kenpo may have ended up a obscure martial art today.
You’re awesome 😎. U got the power. Please, do video with Chuck Liddell too.. please.. thank u ur Awesome 😎

Los maestros vivientes 100% alumnos del gran Máster Ed Parker, Dan Rodarte y Maestro Hector García saben la historia del falso jeff speakman
i studied kempo since 1973 under my father in Hawaii
Dude, 1:50+, so good.
@ATACXGYM Small Circle Jujutsu by GM Wally Jay does all that you mentioned. As does Dumog which is filipino wrestling.
I am a real Kenpo guy since 1973
Same but im just start just about dine with mma
Great job keeping up Ed Parker's Legacy.
And Bass Rutten n Randy Couture!!
@MechPhantom the answer to that is yes, np, maybe. in other words EPAK 5.0 is a Hybrid Art or Mixed Martial Art. It has aspects from Kung fu as well as Judo and Karate and other things.

Yes,i've heard good things abour mr. Speakman,mr.Tatum and also mr. Trejo.If it was you,would you learn EPAK? Is it too different from karaho ?
What do you mean when you say obscure?Is EPAK an effective system in your opinion? i wanna start kenpo but i hear many good things about it but also many bad things.
@naumutroi and kenpo fits like hand to glove with both systems. Not surprising to learn, then, that before Dan Inosanto trained with Bruce he trained with Mr. Parker, and Wally Jay and Mr. :Parker were lifelong friends.
@lizardfirefighter110 Absolutely!
didn't he do a tv movie called Escape From Atlantis?
Shihan Speakman performs this technique most excellently. Now - when you buckle the opponants arm you open up a possible headbutt or a dumog style throw-takedown as options. I do not like the idea of buckling the arm before the elbow strikes since my opponants elbow will now be in my way BUT my opponants head is open for those same elbows and back knuckle strikes. In my version I dont elbow the body, I elbow the head. And finish with baliog pomali.to take my opponant down.

thanks a lot. awesome explication at 046 ^___________^
Kempo is so powerful that opponent freezes in place to get beat up.
Chow promoted Ed to a purple belt only he promoted Sam Kuoha and Will to superior rank due to strength of character and ability
I love kenpo
@MechPhantom kung fu is multi-faceted.

I am currently a student of Sascha Williams. No difference here with the 5.0 or other teachers
He's like a more physical Nathan Fillion
Lol. Yes.. awesome. I got the power. 🤓😎
Jeff Speakman would've made an awesome Bruce Wayne in his prime. Unfortunately, George Clooney got the role instead.
Never thought of that....he would've been great as Batman and Bruce Wayne, and he could have done all his own stunts.
Clooney was the worst Batman ever!
@KidsKicksforChrist I'm not debating the effectiveness of striking someone in the nose and the ability of such a technique to crush their face, I just wanted to clarify that you cannot actually drive the bone of a person's nose into their brain. I didn't want someone to read that comment and believe it as it was which would just perpetuate that false martial myth.
You speak the truth my man.
works great when the guy just stands there and does nothing.
+Univox sixtyeight I know what you mean,I agree with you. I am skeptical of a lot of these Martial arts or practitioners but, Jeff Speakman is about the only guy I believe would really fuck someone up.
+Jose Chavez oh and I'm basing this on a previous video. Not this one.
To hear is to doubt, to see is to be deceived, but to feel is to believe.
Ed Parker
never actually used it , but my wife did ! Had to get 5 stitches in her knuckles , guy had his mouth open ! He lost his front teeth ,,,,,oh well
I agree lol.. Having a sequence of counters is never going to work unless the guy is a wooden dummy. Utterly absurd the guy will just stay there while you hit him several times lol.
@ATACXGYM its hard to imagine "standing crane" against a double leg takedown. ive been in fights and unfortunately things dont go as planned. id rather train for real situations
i have a question does he know the rest of that because there is more to it :P also dont ask who i am i will just ignore you
@naumutroi damn this art is badass xD for me its more simple ,effective than modenr kung fu nowadays ,coz kung fu is more perforamcne than fighitng now. But sanda is real kung fu fighitng the rest isnt much
Bring Chuck Liddell in your videos , to make them exciting. Please..
I know that when GM Chow had his last seminar in California before he died Parker forbid any of his students to attend. Paker had the opportunity to settle up but never did it. I know that the closest to Parker getting a black belt in Kenpo was from GM Emperado. I know that when GM Chow finally did offer Parker a black belt certificate it was not written on official stationary and Parker refused it and demanded a 3rd Dan.
Put it this way Kenpo gave Elvis a Red Belt........need I say more?
100 like :D for the master!!
all of this works............. if both you and your attacker are completely stoned and drunk beyond belief.
As long as the attacker NEVER moves.. u should be ok! AND what was those fungfu hand movements at the very end Jeff!?? Lol
mt8300 look idiot people like you are stupid and can’t see what’s going on there’s two ways todo this this technique I have the one with the a straight punch now after I land that punch to your fucking face you ain’t gonna see what ima do after the idea is to be fast and yes there’s some styles with bullshit movement unrealistic but techniques are just meant to spark a reaction to defend against something this ain’t no damn movie it’s not gonna go so smoothly
mt8300 but you will be way better off with ideas then not knowing how to react and getting popped in the face and struggling to fight back
@ATACXGYM iagree. GM Chow always stressed sparring and stressed being physical.

Primeros alumnos hasta que murió el gran máster Ed Parker, jeff jamás aparece como alumno del gran máster, Ed Parker puso como vicepresidente del american kenpo karate al máster Dan Rodarte y abrió una escuela junto con el maestro Hector García ambos directos 100% alumnos de del gran máster Ed ParkerCalifornia, En su escuela de kenpo en pasadena se quedó el maestro frank trejo RIP😢 todos ellos saben la verdadera historia del falsante de Jeff ya que a muchos les ha mentido que es 100% americankenpo, le pueden preguntar a la larry tatum él también sabe la historia de jeff, así que no se dejen engañar de un vividor mentiroso😊
purposeful compliance would havre to work
No, Elvis was an 8th degree black belt. There is not a red belt in EPAK.

@naumutroi but yea JKD and sanda, fucking works no question asked, too its pretty modern, most chinese traitional MA arnt really practical and quite outdated in terms of fighting and most of it doesnt seem to work in this days fights. SO yea sanda and JKD Are basically chinese styles that evolved for the better. Thats why lee created JKD, coz he found out wing chun has ALOT of weaknessses in it. pretty true, but kenpo in the vid above owns !
@naumutroi I've used this tech while sparring with only hand wraps in the Long Beach Kickboxing Gym. Worked like a charm. Like 99% of Kenpo techs? The guy was toast long before I finished the whole tech sequence.
And make a new movie 🍿 😜
@gabeschlaf Not sure about the idea of American Kenpo being fitted for a giant sized Samoan. Ed Parker wasn't that size, remember? I've been doing American Kenpo for decades--functionally--and I'm 5'7" 160 at MOST. Lol.
@ATACXGYM thank you my friend. you are too kind. Shihan Speakman is a most excellent martial artist and EPAK 5.0 is effective. my comments are merely my preferance and nothing more. The self defence sets are - to paraphrase Li Jun Fan - it is like a finger pointing the way to the moon. Concentrate too much on the finger and you will miss all the heavenly glory. the usefullness of the finger is in pointing away from itself. "Triggered Salute " is a means to an end,
@TheMDBJJ Jeff Speakman is most certainly NOT fake, but you're entitled to your opinion, sir.
We all know EPAKK is from Kung Fu San Soo and other kung fu, kenpo styls.. Research it with and open mind....
I am glad you are still with us but kenpo is very out of touch with todays self defence. I am a personal protection specialist and my MMA training with street application is much more aggresive. I have 7 diciplines to help me get out of danger. You want to try the mix, man, it has save my life and I don'y carry a gun. I had to get a person away from mt client and he was out striking me, so I went right into judo then ground and pound.
@naumutroi continued nshou to looks more kickboxing that a kung fu,chinese style . Yea coz most chinese art wouldnt work after chinese communist took over china in the 40s etc. Before that i know there were alot of good and real masters but now nah and sadly never. still sanshou is is hybrid martial art , best knug fu style for me and also number 1 combat style in china now. peace
@naumutroi I completely agree with you, my friend.
@gabeschlaf I haven't read all 5 volumes of Infinite Insights so I don't have an informed opinion on the whole thing, but what I did read wasn't hard to follow for me. But many Kenpoists who spar less and are less physical than their fighting brethren spout esoteric kenpo jargon; it's akin to making up for their lack or lesser physical skills by over-intellectualizing. The balanced Kenpoist balances mind and body and consciously well grounded in Kenpo principles and concepts
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Edmun Kealoa Parker was only a Brown Belt under Grandmaster William K.S Chow and not even one of his best students. Always in and out. Never really with Chow consistantly. Parker was a Brown Belt when he taught at Byu and when he taught and opened his schools in California. Parker was only Black Belt in Judo. Only 10% at best of the Kenpo that Chow taught Parker is in Ed Parker's Kenpo. Kajukenbo is closer to what Chow taught then EPAK and Kajukenbo is a mixed martial art.
EPAK is not exactly Kenpo. It has kenpo in it just as Kajukenbo has kenpo in it and like Kajukenbo it is a mixed art. if you desire to learn pure kenpo then you need to find a teacher who teaches karaho kenpo or koshu-ryu kenpo or something like that. if you wish to learn EPAK then i suggest learning from Jeff Speakman or Larry Tatum.
a bit more complex than needed...... Martial arts are designed to be the acyronym of K.I.S.S. ( keep it stupid simple).... this is very deadly to those who atempt to do these complex moves
Ya, and there's no way the dude won't be hitting back with his left hand. Ridiculous assumptions being made here.
Clearly you don't know how effective a "stun" move gets you to be still
is this kung fu?
I have been saying this for years, even Speakman has been brain washed in swearing by Kenpo. How stupid can someone be to believe in this terrible system. I have been in the arts for 25 years and in my studies wrestling, boxing, kickboxing, judo and jujitsu work the best. I teach one on one and in one year my students look like trained fighters who learn what works in a street fight and what does not. I have them sparring me on the first day so that they know how it feels.
clearcombat you have no clue what you're talking about. Kenpoist spar all the time and it's a stand up striking art that utilises kicks knees elbows groin shots head butts, everything. If you want to learn a ground art than cross train in BJJ. Kenpo is a system not a style so its it's encouraged to bring ideas from other arts to improve yourself.
@KidsKicksforChrist You do know that you can't drive the "bone" of the nose into the brain, right?
Negative, Doc Chapel,Chuck Sullivan,Palanzo and Huk Planas are superior to both these guys check with any real Kenpo guy to confirm this.
I SEE 2 BIG MISTAKES IN ALL THEIR MOVES-- 1ST THEIR INITIAL DEFENSE/BLOCK IS TOO SLOW, WOULD NOT WORK. 2ND THEY ENGAGE THEN DISENGAGE THEN THEY ENGAGE AND THEN DISENGAGE, ETC. NO. WHEN YOU ENGAGE YOU CONTINUE UNTIL YOUR OPPONENT IS FINISHED DO NOT DISENGAGE- FINISH HIM.
We can agree that Kenpo is about as worthless as Karate. I will be back for 6.0 version when you can disappear and reappear and use forcefields
This is total Crap! Sammy Pace, The Prouders, Harvey,and King were trained by Steve (Sanders0 Muhhamad and not Ed Parker!
Unrealistic lol 😂
Hugely overrated
