I see posts here about Kenpo vs. Wing Chun or TKD. Guys, all those arts wont get you very far. This video is silly. A bunch of people who can't take a punch and go down from being slapped in sparring with a glove and while sporting head gere. The execution of these prerehearsed techniques is poor, not intensity and sloppy slappy. Most Kenpo guys I met (not all) are out of shape and couldn't take a shot in the gut. The few tough Kenpo guys I know all cross train in BJJ, Muay thai and boxing.

@BushidoCode72

Well, it depends on what style of Kenpo guys you know takes. and the dojo.

I do JG angell Kenpo(a rare Kenpo style only available to take in Canada) and we do have heavy contact sparring, we are far from being pussies.

The weird slapping self defense is only part of American Kenpo. Other Kenpo Styles are using simple and effective self defense moves.

anybody who talks shit about any martial art Kenpo, Jui Jitsu, Taekwondo,ect. is a moron go talk to the real guys who come from where the art came from and ull see how its really done

Kenpo v.s. Wing Chun? You decide who's gonna win...

[MrIllcat]

Kempo is flashy looking but I have a lot of doubts about its effectiveness and I've sparred with a few kenpo black belts who claim to be able to take ten guys in ten seconds and put them out with a simple hip toss and some clean BJJ.

[shotojojo1986]

i think kenpo is still in its early stages honestly. Japanese karate when it first started looked horrible, but through the century the kata and kumite looks so much better. It will probably happen with kenpo eventually. Least i hope. That is if competitors step it up a notch.

[BushidoCode72]

@shotojojo1986 early stages? It's been around for decades. I think all martial arts are evolving. Practitioners are now learning that their pure karate, pure kung fu, pure Kenpo, pure aikido, etc. WILL NOT WORK. I think true martial artists are HONEST with themselves and add to their art boxing, muay thai, and grappling. Otherwise, they are living in a dream. Even the toughest Kenpo guys I met all cross trained.

[shotojojo1986]

@BushidoCode72 Should have made it clear I guess. My point is in tournament fighting as a SPORT it looks horrible. As oppose to Olympic taekwondo, or WKF Karate, and Olympic Judo, or even ESPN point Karate, those look great to watch. There fast and beautiful in what they do. But when you watch kenpo tournaments its sluggish and lame. I wasn't using the MMA argument at all. I was merely pointing out as old as kenpo is, why do there tournament style still look bad after all these years?

[xOm3gAx1]

@shotojojo1986 Because its not about what it looks like. Its about how effective it is. Kenpo is not a show art, it is a war art. To see is only to be deceived nothing more.

[shotojojo1986]

@xOm3gAx1 Ive seen many great fighter that are sharp crisp and clean. If USSD was a good organization that taught good martial artist they would have those qualities. They dont period. Unless they cross train. Not only that you guys troll all over the internet to promote your company. USSD is a horrible organization all they want is money.

[shotojojo1986]

@BushidoCode72 And i also agree with your previuos statement that we all should cross train for our own benefit, its stupid just to learn one art. I have that much common sense. Geez man.

BULL SHIT MR, HAND MAN

[remshot1998]

why is it when i see kenpo students sparring all they look like is beginner tae kwon do students? in the demos the opponents always just stand there. i am not saying kenpo doesnt work, but dont you think it is good to show what this art does in a more believable situation?

[xOm3gAx1]

@remshot1998 a year later on the comment sure but it deserves to be answered.

Kenpo is not about show. Kenpo is about adapting and removing your opponent from the field. To see is to be deceived. In the real world i've used kenpo dozens of times and never lost.

cat kenpo

[KIOWA70]

Why does the kumite look like any other form of kickboxing, and not the choreographed self defense techniques ( kata ) that American Kenpo is noted for? Answer : When someone comes at you to rip your head off, the flash goes out the window and basic gross motor skills takeover.

[sarith321123]

Who was the guy from 7:20 with the black hair??? cuz he opened a serious can.

[feli2000]

Missing teacher Sergio Contreras eighth dan?. who came second in kumite point. From Chile

[FlamingFistKenpo]

Hi, please check out Mr Roy MacDonald Kenpo Jersey website for a full isting of who won which events, kind regards Matt

[FlamingFistKenpo]

Yes, we do hit each other, with a lot of control and skill. To hit someone at speed and still be in control as to the amount of damage that you do is a major part of our art. We can knock out or knock down, we get to choose. I aim to put some move aggressive techniques on You tube soon. Keep watching and many thanks for your interest.

[raquelborn]

You don't seem to actually make physical contact/hit each other even in the tournaments.. Or do you and I just can't see it?

[swat237]
