@borobei EPAK (Ed Parker's Kenpo) and its offshoots is more likely not traditional Kenpo. The Kenpo as taught by Grandmaster William Kwai Sun Chow.,Grandmaster James Mitose and Grandmaster Fusae Oshita (James Mitose’s sister) - and that is only talking about the Kenpo that came out of hawaii. In Japan/Okinawa, Kenpo or Kempo is a word that is a Japanese translation of the Chinese word "chuan fa" and is used rather generically
@borobei because EPAK contains so little actual kenpo that was taught to parker from Chow it really cannot be called kenpo let alone traditional kenpo which is why it is called EPAK (Ed Parker's kenpo).
Training in structured techniques is key to anyone's training. Take a boxer who punches a speed bag or a heavey bag. The bag never hits back, but it is still great training to learn how to trow punches properly. The same goes for structured exercises. They teach how to move and become more responsive to an attach.
Question? Shouldn't you be nullifying the attackers inverted centrifugal thrust parameters prior to executing an accelerated variance technique at a torque range of that distance? I mean sure, given that he is likely sustaining perpendicular refraction of your downward orbital mass and consequently has sacrificed his angular momentum velocity by .04, you could alright - but why chance it.

I'm really interested in learning kenpo. Does anyone here who knows what the heck they are talking about have any advice? it seems like half the people on youtube just like to say negative things for the hell of it so please don't waist my time with bullshit. I am very serious about my martial arts and expect the same from you. The reason i am thinking of learning kenpo is because of the fast paced, precise striking. I feel like it would suit my fighting style well.Thanks for reading.
@MrBotheman I practiced a kenpo for a few years,(the others i have spent practicing other martial arts). I believe it is a very practical martial art, but at the same time there is some of that is a bit excessive. Kenpo is a "soft" martial art which is very appealing because it is effective esspecially for people who are smaller, or not very conditioned. The only thing i dont agree with very much is some of the instructors i see structure out attacks which doesnt promote "on the fly" defense.
@MrBotheman (see the other comment first) By on the fly defense I mean like adapting to a fight situation. A fighter who relies heavily on teaching structured techniques and fixed responses to attacks will not be able to properly defend against even a slightly trained fighter. Because in a real situation not everyone will react in ways that compliment your techniques. You need to be able to adapt. So in conclusion i would ask the instructor if you can observe a class to access their abilities.
@cptmiche Thanks for your answer. Hopefully i will be able to go to a kenpo school some time in the near future and observe a class. The only problem is i live in a very small town that is right in the middle of dozens of other small towns and i fear that i wont find a kenpo school close by. what style of kenpo do you think is taught the best? Because from doing research i found a few different organizations that teach it.
Alot of words to describe each move/sequence. He could have included the reason why you have to do the sequence like that. Remember friends, longer the desription longer it is to master. So from white belt to 6th dan or whatever Kenpo's variation is. 15 years easy, before you can defend yourself well. I do have experience in martial arts such as; tae kwon do, judo, boxing, wing chun, kali/silat, and going for my purple belt in BJJ.
Alright people, Speakman vs Seagal, in real life, free style (using their own arts), since they're so much alike, who do you think would win. btw i love both of them.
While it is true that being in good shape is preferable to being obese, true martial arts do not absolutely require it. Arts such as Kenpo & Kung Fu have an internal structure that the practitioner must "find." Once said practitioner finds his structure, he can ironically become lazier with his technique (meaning he no longer has to strictly follow textbook motions for the techniques to work). While Mr. Speakman does appear to be over-weight, his Kenpo is better now than when he was young.
@payanmario Lo siento pero se puede aplicar y lo he hecho en mas de una ocasion contra ataques por personas mas altas y pesadas. Es solo tu 'timing" que tiene que estar bien. No hago Kenpo pero en mi sistema hay movimientos similares a estos. Este movimiento te da la opcion de bajar al oponente vivo o muerto.
I think Shihan Speakman gave very clear instruction on this technique and if his words are confusing then the visual should clear up what he is trying to say. He is obviously talking to in his mind people who are followers or studnts of the various branches of Kenpo under the Ed Parker System and by extention those Kenpo followers or student of the Hawaiian (Chinese) Kenpo under Great Grand Master William K.S Chow. He is not exactly taking to people who know nothing of the system
Our we building a trapazoid box or doing matrial arts.. great guy..description is way too complicated..too many high tech terms..height zone, cancel this and cancel that.. I hated math in school..but they werent kidding when they said you need it for everything..;) The problem at the end is this" who's to say that arm will be there for you to grab when hes on the floor and you're on his back.. .too fancy a move.. .. You think someone is going to leave their hand out there for you to grab?
why is it that people of little martialarts experience and or fighting experience comment and say stupid shit without nothing to back up thier comment or arguement. That is why on my videos i censor the comments because i am sick and tired of these assholes who mouth off about my stuff who i would tap out or knockout. Sensei Speakman gave a excellent demo.
@naumutroi ...Totally agree. I see so many people making comments and they don't understand that demos like this is all part of training for a real attack. You may not use the exact technique...but it trains you to move when attacked. I think Jeff Speakman is one of the best instructs, even though I have never met him in person. Keep posting the great vids and let the unknowing talk out of their asses.
@akrocuba its those MMA wannabies i tell ya. They think that if it is not in the octagon its crap. Fucking assholes. ALL of the self-defence sets are drills. They are not sparring. Its like learning scales or licks in music. Shihan Speakman is a most excellent instructor.
@naumutroi ..If a person only watches MMA, they think they knowit all. I am amazed how many guys I meet that know th rules inside and out, BUT, they have never been in a real fight. Things that make you go HMMMMMM!!!???>..>LOL
@akrocuba I agree. I also believe that most of the best fighters in MMA are respectfull of Traditional Martial Arts. Like GSP, Anderson Silva and Lyoto Machida.. Although GSP did a very bad kata demo at a UFC event that hasa been posted on youtube. Destructive Knee is .. destructive.
@naumutroi ...Lyoto Machida!!!...perfect example of how "traditional" martial arts can very easily be used as a self defence or for fighting. Just think how destructive Lyoto would be in a real life and death situation. The guy can hit you with a kick from almost anywhere in the Octogon!
Why would any one want to go to the ground like this. Stupid, no mats used in real fights, driving your knee on the floor like that could be quite bad for you.
@ptrodrigu 100% agree, but you're not driving your knee into the ground, just kneeling it. technique does seems (i would never do it to completion :p).. but if you're already on the ground, that takedown could give you the chance to get back up to your feet. same as that back mount if yer in a 1v1 situation, in a house or dirt or grass, not a street :p
Do I have to learn Parker Kenpo in order to get a "zone of sanctuary"? That sounds really relaxing. You know, long work week, stressed out about bills, car is broken down, wife is cheating on you, the dog died, you found out you were adopted and oh yeah, you have AIDS.....but that's all OK! Just go to your zone of sanctuary.
Good Lord. I've seen stereo instructions with less steps than that. Do me a favor, if you are ever fighting one of my friends, PLEASE do this so that while you are getting into the man rape position on the ground, me and the rest of my friends can come over and give you a boot shampoo. Hell, don't even worry about the techniques, just show me this video to knock me out.
they'll stand still after you hit that eye, ppl tend to stop moving when they can't see, like a deer in the head lights, u could be geting away or u could be running right into danger.
This is the most absurd jargon I've ever heard. Is this teaching a martial art or trying to sell a pyramid scheme to some new age middle management hipsters?
I created a negative orbit when I double parry checked the elbow but still managed to lace my feet which secured the roll out takedown. They never see it coming.
Looks good - as long as your attacker stands there like a statue while you (1) perry, (2) check, (3) thumb strike, (4) hammer-fist, (5) step around and (6) then drop down to one knee for the take-down. If the attacker is that slow, why not just walk to your car and leave instead?
More like destructive bucket of extra crispy fried chicken and mashed potatoes. Lay off the junk food Jeff. Why are all of you Parker guys fat and out of shape?
