KENPO TECHNIQUES CROSSING TALON CROSSED TWIGS MASTER KEY PATTERN

[arcanemuses]

This is great! Are there other corellations between two handed sword techniques and jujitsu throws/grapples?

[guitarttimman]

Kenpo is awesome! Maybe there are some techniques that one my never need to use! But SO WHAT! It still broadens one's knowledge and provides him or her with more tricks for the bag! And, if it does happen, then guess what? You'll be glad you studied it. I currently hold a brown belt in Shotokan Karate and recently started studying Kenpo. I've been in it for about 1 month now and will be going up for yellow belt in about 2 weeks. I love it! It's the BEST style I've ever seen!

Great job here!

So why would anyone want to take a friendly hand shake and turn it into a judo flip? Not going to have many friends if you do this to them.

[KENPOJOE1]

@KenpoKarate4U : This was a common technique taught in "Modern techniques" taught in Jujutsu from it's emmigration to Europe and the United States. When Jujutsu practitioners saw that westerners would "Offer their hand" & saw the opportunity to do a "friendly Throw" (Boy is that phrase an oxymoron!). They've even shown an example of this on an episode of "The Flintstones" cartoon! {anybody remember the infamous "Haki Taki HA!" Kiai done by the "Judo teacher"?in the episode}

@KENPOJOE1 I've seen the reversal several times it's one of my favorite techniques. I'm Sadistic and like hearing the screams! Just kidding, I think your video's are very cool and fun to watch. May I recommend getting a hot looking assistant and put her in a geisha out fit........Also was that you I saw in the Video with David German squealing doing the cane demo?

[ATACXGYM]

Hey KenpoJoe! Hope things are going well for you!

[Trallos]

The first time I learned crossing twig as a rear defense I thought my sensei was full of BS, I studied Kenpo for 6 years and when I moved away from home and started university I got a job as a bouncer, within 2 weeks I had used that technique about 3 times.

Some people laugh when they see techniques like this, but from personal experience these are the types of self defense techniques that can easily get you out of a pinch.

Nice work Kenpo Joe, keep the videos coming.

[PBRASABAT]

Very interesting thanks for the info.

[deceptivepanther]

Very interesting. Perhaps sir it would be good to mention to Kenpo novices that whilst these techniques may originally have been inspired by very specific attacks, the broader picture is that they remain in the system because these moves are equally applicable to countering more general assaults. We're not actually worried about being attacked by Jiu Jitsu practitioners lol.

EXCELLENT video Joe.

u are absolutely AMAZING!!

a class above the rest

appreciate the video sensei. i hope to one day meet u and learn more from u.

[DulcimerKitty]

Excellent! Thank you, Joe. By inclusion of the nature of the attack, you make the understanding of the technique complete. Your video is definitely a cut above and I appreciate it.

[Deilgyre]

Wouldn't the opposite of a (Front 1-hand Cross Wrist Grab) be a (Rear 2-hand Direct Ankle Grab)?

j/k - Grreat explanation of the JJ attacks!

More like this!

[SuperLostBoy]

i go to kenpo karate

[KenpoJitsu]

This is great stuff!! I've been a Danzan Ryu Black belt since "99" I just started Kenpo about 3 months ago & I am Loving it. I actually learned these two Techniques today & the light bulb immediately went off & was thinking of the those DZR Techniques exactly. Good work Sir & thank you for the informative videos

[pama4242]

Great insight, thank you Sir!!!

[Shinkermy]

it looks very clean and nice but i think u went a little too high during the wrist grab but yea other than that you did great

[jmagoni]

I agree big circles=big problems(no one is perfect), but certainly a very informative video, with some great insights into kenpo. I'd love to see a dance of death/thundering hammers/sleeper vid.

[mnuwar]

funny full of knowledge love him ;))))

[cmoore300]

[bobquinnarnis]

Joe,

Looks great and you have aged well, The years have past by. Kenpo has been good to you. Keep on and keep the faith.

Hey Joe, after our conversation I thought about how I wrote my comment. OOps! The previous comment read kind of aggressive. Not my intention at all folks. Great stuff by Joe to illuminate the history of our catalysts, no matter which branch of Kenpo you swing from.

My first post reads the way I would talk to someone in person, and the text only lacks the tone of voice implied in the words. Keep up the great work and by the way, that is an impressive wall.

My previous comment read as if I was challenging Joe in his performance of the technique Crossed Twig. That was not how I intended for the comment to read. Joe and I talk about Kenpo (me being the lucky one there, trust me) and I just typed the way I would talk to him. My apologies to Joe for the brusque manner of my previous post.

Keep them coming Joe, the origins of Kenpo techniques is fascinating and I look forward to everything you produce.

PS: You'll see that I mention "right" for crossed twigs at 7:45 in the clip!

[KENPOJOE1]

Hi folks!

Just wanted to make a quick mention to everyone that crossed twigs is traditionally done with the right hand.During the filming,I did the left side due to the angle at the moment. Due to the dual limb attack the ability to do either side is part of the symetrical/ambidextrious nature od double hand attacks. We'll address it in a future clip!

BTW,you might be mentioned in that clip!

BEGOOD,

KENPOJOE

@KENPOJOE1 Man, your really a great sensei! excellent teacher. thanks

[kenpoteacher]

Let me be the first to ask how this version of crossed twigs jives with SF3?

The first thing I saw in your crossed twigs was locked wing. So, how much cat com are you talking about when this version does a P of O movement that is not in the SF3 that I understand?

[runamok]

good interpretation and presentation

[notoriousstef1]

This is an awesome insight Mr. Rebelo. Please continue to share !

[jtkenpo1]

Your student,

Justin
