  • ¿Is that an N-Sync song?... not that I would know... :)

  • I've always had an interest in this style of martial arts. Now if only there were dojo's in northeast Alabama.

  • lol "joey" looks like he's having the time of his life

  • One of the best in the business.

  • why is his uniforkm ripped??

  • @budfr the same reason why his belt looks ragged and old, lots of practice is why

  • Larry Tatum is one of the best Kenpo masters I've seen. He is very clear in his explaination of techniques and how they flow. As a practitioner of traditional karate there is alot we traditionalist can learn from thinking outside of the box. Kenpo really offers a wonderful way to combine techniques effectively with speed and power. This especially important in self-defense and when "power for power" sake doesn't work. I think to be an effective marial artist you need to open minded.

  • All of this nonsense will get you killed on the street. People retract their arms after they punch someone. The best thing to do is use footwork to keep the fighter guessing, then by moving your head and striking you confuse the fighter. I teach Clear Combat Fighting System and we train like MMA fighters but are street conscience. We use a lot of spear hands, head butts, kicks to the groin and a lot of chokes. We use strenght and conditioning with agility drills to keep use loose and flexable.

  • @clearcombat I think unless you feel like fighting the guy to prove your point I'd keep your opinions to yourself.

    You don't know nearly as much as you seem to think.

  • @clearcombat Finally a voice of reason. In the old days, a guy who have challenge his dojo and shown that his teachings are nonsense. But today, guys like this continue to teach nonsense till they have hundreds or thousands of students. The young kid with his left could kidney punch his guy or keeping his left guard up, and just kick him in the back of the knee ,knocking him to the ground. A slap to the side is not going to do any damage, especially if the person conditioned their abs for impact

  • @mattrR678 I agree to some extent that kenpo cant damage that person very well who is well conditioned in body or if a person is like a power lifter or very tall but kenpo is still deadly apart from all this , the strikes they do on your face and neck , it is really deadly my friend , I am telling this from my personal experience ,

  • @contumacy11 OTHER THING KENPO STRIKES CAN BREAK YOUR RIBS AND STERNUM TOO

  • @contumacy11 Feeling is believing. Just by stating this art will not tear the living crap out of someone's body through the use of proper form and power, is stating a lack of experience. WHICH IS GOOD. We don't want the entire karate world understanding this art - I personally enjoy the uniqueness of it. This is not Tae Qwon Do, or traditional karate (outdated...traditional, etc). This is the art that branched into Jeet Kun Do, and a number of advanced military techniques.

  • I do Shotokan. Out of curiosity I checked this out. Man, he's fast.

  • The great thing about kenpo that it is always changing to keep pace with time!!!!!

  • Is it just me or does he remind of you of splinter? Cool!

  • I've watched several videos of Larry Tatum and he is obviously a very skilled martial artist. I myself have studied Kenpo and Kempo for the last 25 years along with other arts. I mean no disrespect but does he have Parkinson's? He has tremors and shaking in his hands when he performs a technique. I've never seen that before and in the old Ed Parker videos he doesn't do that and none of my teachers ever did. Again no disrespect just wondering if he is ill.

  • @Tarc5150 thanks for not being a jerk. and to the best of my knowledge he is not

  • @shiloh123321

    Do you know what's up with the shaking and tremors? I've watched tons of Kenpo videos and been a member of 4 schools in the Los Angeles and Orange County area and I've never seen that. I'm wondering if that's like a nervous habit or something, like people who constantly have eye twitches. Either way I guess it doesn't matter he still knows his stuff.

  • @Tarc5150 Sorry I know this is old, but I thought I should still answer. The "tremors" is him tensing his muscles. Notice he only tenses before a strike and when he's showing power. My understanding is that you tense/contract the muscles and when released they "spring" back into place faster than if you had simply struck from a relaxed position. Much like pulling a branch of a tree back and then it flinging into the face of your friend walking behind you ;)

  • @MrsFistie

    Interesting, I guess that makes sense. I've been teaching or studying some form of kenpo/kempo for 26 years now and I have never done that or seen any of my instructors do that. I was more concerned that Sensei Tatum might have gotten ill. Thanks for the info.

  • @Tarc5150 Thank you for the kind response! I do hope that helped.

  • Comment removed

  • @Tarc5150 .. but that does not diminish in the least power of the technique except in your brain, your comment on my rant does not make me, as I discover you feel that I understand things better than you, no desire to offend you, but you are part of the lot, sorry if offended you, it was not my intension, just want to tell you the truth, bye.

  • @wwwTombroker

    I'm sorry I don't know what you are reffering to. I am not offended by anything posted on this video and thought I was very respectful in regards to this video. I'm a 3rd degree black belt in Kenpo, I have nothing but respect for Kenpo/Sensei Tatum/ and all arts. Please explain.

  • Ron burgundy knows kenpo? Stay classy San Diego. That's some serious afternnoon delight.

  • A CLEAR COMBAT MOMENT: Try that against a grappler, Larry.

  • @clearcombat Im a grapler and kenpoist

  • kenpo dudes are deadly that is no joke. i studied this style under a brutal sifu and he taught me some cool shit.

  • Except that hitting a heavy bag actually develops power and endurance. while standing beside someone not moving while you throw your techniques does NOTHING for you.

  • @talon115 Hitting a sparring develops rythm, timing, and distance, not to mention speed, but you know better, I just have twelve years in the art and 30 in boxing and martial arts.

  • @chimibert I agree with you! "Hitting and sparring" which aren't being done in this particular video do help with timing, speed and distance. If they were doing that in this crappy video it would be great, but they aren't so it sucks. I have 28 years in the martial arts. I was also a police officer, bodyguard and night club security. Not that that makes me an expert but it does give me some insight.

  • @talon115 I don't know where you train, but where I train, attacks and techniques are at speed. Your partner does not just stand there, unless showing technique to fellow student.

  • Everyone looks fast when they are moving beside someone standing still.

  • @talon115 You are dead wrong my friend. Kenpo is based in principles, not techniques, each technique teaches a principle, in this case is re -arrangement. Is a stupid to say kenpo is not effective because the sparring is still, as to say a boxer shouldn´t hit the heavy bag cause it doesn´t hit back. Is easy to speak without knowing.

  • this guys my sensays sensay ooooooooooooooo

  • someone brought up churck norris and him saying that he would kick Bruce's ass. BULLSH!T he said that he didnt know and that he and Bruce didnt wanna fight. Also if you type in "Chuck Norris admits he is no match for Bruce Lee" in your YOUTUBE search engine you'll hear what Chuck thought about fighting Bruce. 

  • Then look up the PIT FIGHT TEAM the Chuck LIbell is on there. He also says "i would not be were i am today with out the pit" THE PIT THAT DOES HAWAIIAN KENPO a mixture of many arts not just whatever your pre programmed beliefs are about kenpo.

  • @Mider999 talking about Hawaiian Kenpo. John Hacekman taught Lidell. Hackelman was a Walter Godin Student of KaJuKemBo which was founded by Emperado. Which was the Art that applied boxing, judo, kenpo karate. Emperado was a student of william chow Kara Ho Kenpo. James Mitosei brought that Kenpo to Hawaii from Okinawa. thats basically the liniage of Hawaiian Kenpo. Its good some of you know some history of Hawaiian Arts. =)

  • @JimKelly47 not to mention they can from some of the roughest areas of the islands, where if you had a "beef", it was on. tough cats, all of them. i have tried to research the yoshida clan, from which mitose learned, but it's pretty cloudy.

  • @MrByaeger Yeah, Ed Parker use to talk about the rough places downtown like Hotel Street during the 40s. One of Mariano Tiwanak's Student in Hawaii use to tell me some of those old day fights and training they did back in those days. Mariano Tiwanak was Emperado''s student.. Yoshida Clan is cloudy so many uncertainties about James Mitose. Thanks.

  • @JimKelly47 holy cow, i didn't know you were THE Jim Kelly!!!! Man, what an honor. Your part of my personal history growing up, i tried my best to copy your backfist. had the long arms, but not the speed alas..much respect sir. thank you for your contributions and class in the arts. humbly, brad

  • For all you guys who like talking trash about Kenpo look up THE PIT then look up california schools almost every school offers a kenpo program and it describes kenpo as a mix of kickboxing, wrestling and other arts, judo too i think. So anyone who wants to insult kenpo please move along cause i will thrash you with the information i know about it and its people and who likes it.

  • Larry Tatum moves FAST

  • Comment removed

  • @pama4242 I liked this one lol :)

  • Even the fking marines and armed forces use FMA. and other arts in there training. Krav Maga. But the fagkido master just doesnt like to admit it. Dan Inosanto and Vunak were in the army. Atemi Ryu also used in the army but fagkido master ignores that. Krav Maga used in the Isreali Army but once again nothing works unless its fagkido.

  • Comment removed

  • @nerdswers Already gave you video's ALOT OF THEM you wanted to ignore them stfu boy

  • Comment removed

  • @nerdswers So then how do people in kenpo use there techniques? With there minds? Oh i guess cause you are a self appointed martial arts master that you have decided by yourself what arts can use kicking or not.

  • Comment removed

  • @nerdswers I can tell the diffrence between someone who tells the truth and a liar, i can tell the truth between a poser and someone who actually does stuff they say. guess which you are? What ethinc groups did i hate on motherfucker? Id fuck your mother but beastiality is illegal now if you'll excuse me ihave to put water in her bowl

  • Comment removed

  • @nerdswers I rather not be able to spell then be a lieing motherfucker in here. By the way ill ride your mother to your house when you tell me were you live which you failed to do even though i gave you my motherfking email you cocksucking COWARD!

  • Lets clap our hands for newswers adn the first fagkido tournament the entire gay community will be there. the only requiprment for this tournament is that you bring condoms and plenty of playgirl mags oh and lotion. ALL HAIL THE FAGKIDO GRANDMASTER NERDSWERS

  • Backnuckle to the ribs? Is this to tickle your attacker?

  • @hosmanc What man? You have ribs of steel?

  • @Mider999 When you actually fight instead of doing whatever this slapfest theory crap is then YES..you develop ribs of steel. If someone, including Larry Tatum, "backknuckles" me in the ribs it is more likely I will fall over laughing than ever receive injury.

  • @hosmanc ......Uh huh Ok and how does that work if you dont mind me asking? Do you mind not direspecting other martial arts just cause you dont do them? Also if you havent been hit by larry tatum can you please not presume to say oh well i would just laugh at him back knuckling my ribs. There are arts that are more violent then this.........in fact this art is pretty tame compared to some of them. Because they dont use no back fist in your ribs they use knee's and elbows

  • @hosmanc Thats great man but he did not just do the ribs did he? Your neck aint made of steel unless your into uechi ryu

  • @hosmanc @hosmanc Thats great man but he did not just do the ribs did he? Your neck aint made of steel unless your into uechi ryu and even then. thats not gonna protect you from an elbow to the face or strike to the chin is it? You can take a few punches to the face and stuff but it is not a prolonged thing

  • Comment removed

  • @nerdswers Actually great fagkido master Chuck Libell did learn Kenpo for a reason because it has kickboxing YOU DUMB FUCK

  • Comment removed

  • @nerdswers Hahahahahahaha Im sorry I guess i spelled his name wrong but Im talking about the ICEMAN. you know? in UFC? you could at least have been smart enough to have guessed who i was talking about you dumb fuck

  • Comment removed

  • @nerdswers The message was that he promoted Kenpo KICKBOXING now shut up

  • Comment removed

  • @nerdswers Ok so suddenly youve called Chuck Lidell a liar and earlier you were using him as an example. then you called Gene Lebbell a liar even though you used Bas Rutten as an example and Bas Rutten says that Lebbell is a great martial artist. Then you say forms suck and then you use Chuck Norris as a example. So basically everyone you use is an example is later disqualified because of the fact that even though you agree iwth them on certain points they dont agree iwth you

  • Comment removed

  • @nerdswers Your lieing your ass off. Youve said that Norris and Rutten said Bruce Lee couldnt fight. But everytime you lose an argument which youve done so much. you keep changing the fucking subjects. You havent sent me any fucking videos. You asswipe in fact ive sent you most of the videos and websites in this argument you dumbfuck

  • Hey , I just realized I'm a moron for arguing w/ a moron, OMG, this guy is ate up w/ jealousy LOL

  • Comment removed

  • @nerdswers There you go again the same fucking stuipd retarded shit OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER i mean get new material man. Not all of us want to train in fagkido like you. The art of fagkido which nerdswers is a expert in, uses dry humping and gay gestures to drive your straight or female opponents into submissioon. No wonder all those kenpo black belts you SUPPOSIDLY fought lost to you they were to busy being afraid of getting a STD
