This guy gives Kenpo Karate a terrible name. His belt makes him appear to be a 10th degree black belt. However master Huk Planas is the only 10th in the system (aside from Ed Parker who died). This guy uses flawed motion which is the basis of Kenpo (good motion). He the goes on to say that he strikes the arm above the elbow to sprain or dislocate. You break the elbow no dislocating. Breaking the arm puts the head back which eliminated his next move etc. He's wrong.
@samuelsanchez2010 Everything works. The question is. What works for you? I mean, my style is a mixture between taekwondo, boxing and muay thay. But my friend fights with a mixture of bjj, tkd and aikido. And for me, I think that you can divide all martial arts into 3 categorizes: Power, speed and precision. And if you were born with strength, train something that will increase your speed. If you're fast, increase your precision and if you're precise, train something heavy.^^
I love kempo be it american or traditional and I could care less if people want to crit me and say wu shu is better or wing chun because if you ask any master with any kind of wisdom which is better they will tell you its not the style but the person. Even a person who learns american taekwondo can beat some one who studies hungar
@NONAG0N@NONAG0N@NONAG0N There are many different styles of Karate. Some focus more on kata/form and movements. Some only allow partial/soft contact and competitions are scored by points based on marking openings on your opponent through your techniques. Some allow full-contact - typically kyokushin and it's derivatives.
American Kempo Karate is a joke. The strongest karate is kyokushin, you can find plenty of highlight videos on youtube. Regarding other styles of karate I don't know enough.
This is one of the more unnecessary techniques in Kenpo. Kenpo has an emphasis on manipulative your opponent's body, and this just shows a guy with very sloppy technique hitting an assailant way too many times than is needed.
Kempo is good stuff. It's biggest weakness is against trained grappling fighters. But Kempo ju jitsu addresses this problem, combining the striking of Kempo with the grappling of ju jitsu. My ideal fighting systems are:
Are u serious? This acually look as pathetic as it is. Two straight punches in the face and your alot better off than doing this crap. This "sensei" is teaching crap and shouldnt last a round against a yellow belt in a decent fighting sport.
This is NOT good self defense. This is NOT good fighting. This will most likely get you seriously hurt if you ever engage in any kind of fight, against any one (be they from other disciplines or just street fighters).
the only mistake is him thinking his oppenent will not move once you break an oppenents arm like he shows it is common sense that your oppenent will try to move away or leave because once they know a limb or part of the body is broken I and I'm sure you'll all doubt the will not move or try to keep fighting
Well whatever any of your opinions are, these types of demonstrations can be very helpful for people in areas other than self defense or fighting in general. Simply knowing the MOVEMENTS can help. So to expertvilliage, Keep em coming. Education is key.
This is why I don't care too much for "American Karate". I much more prefer "Dutch Muay Thai" or "Danish Brazillian Jiu Jitsu", or who can forget "British Kung Fu", "Swedish Taekwondo", "Portugeese Kenjutsu" and "Russian Wing Chun"???
aja y me imagino que en la calle el adversario va a estar inmóvil y no reaccionara antes tus ataques como lo hace en la demostración dime el nombre de cada técnica y el porque de cada una y de que estilo y cual es su función si logras reconocer todos los nombres de todos esos manotones que das viajo hasta allá y y me vuelvo tu alumno porque cada acción tiene una reacción y esos manotones y medias patadas con sinceridad en la calle tienen pocas probabilidades de funcionar
Kenpo guys, I respect you, but encourage you to test your art against other fighting styles. I trained in Kenpo for yrs (got brown belt), & instructors would always say "in a real fight an MMA guy couldn't take a strike here, etc." I believed it, until I fought one, & he took me down w/out a problem. Techniques look cool, but try to pull it off when a guy is trying to knock your block off - good luck. Don't believe me - type in kenpo sparring & see 4 yourself - technique goes right out window.
Walking away is probably the best course of action, but as for me I'd probably respond with a takedown or submission hold. I have a legal and natural right to defend myself and I WILL USE IT if necessary. Not being a tough guy, just protecting myself.
I'm not agressive at all, nobody can make me angry and I don't like hurting people. But about a week ago a guy started threatening me with killing me and stuff while I had never seen the guy. I ignored him, but when he kept going and started pushing me and stuff I simply took him out with Kempo Jutsu.
Never use violence when it's not useful.
But don't be afraid to use it when you can teach people that they can't be total dicks to everybody.
It's always better to take the confrontation (and learn the criminal a lesson) than "simply walk away" as the pussies here say. Yes, when you finished the criminal THEN you have to run away so that the idiot cops don't arrest YOU!
@olamprov fuck u man kenpo is the best it is realistic for the street just simle movements if u think it is inferior i would happily fight you and i would kick your ass motherfucker because i have a kenpo brown belt
@jacklewis1231 Wow ur a brown belt! It's pretty pathetic how ur so proud of that. Ha, come to hawaii and enter one of our 808 battle ground events tough guy. Even our kids would kick your ass. kenpo is simplified version of karate mixed with other arts. You're 24 and you're only a brown belt? what a joke. We start young because we take fighting very serious and got kids turning pro as young as 15. I've won way more tournaments and have been fighting way longer than you so stfu.
im not gonna go to mapquest to look for your little mcdojo metalmaine... have fun and good luck in your future endeavors... good to know you know real martial arts not just american "kempo"... And I know what Okinawan G-Ryu is it's a much better art by itself without integrating "America" into it... And I live in North Carolina I'm white I'm no anti-patriot...
it's funny that all these wannabe martial artists think kenpo is a fake or crap martial art i wounder if any of them realize that one of if not the best fighters in the world is trained in and uses kenpo in almost all his fights including his many championship fights he goes by the name of chuck liddell i wounder if any one here has the nuts to step in to a cage with him and his fake kenpo my guess would be no one .
@metalfrommaine were not talking about UFC champions we're talking about this fake Joe fool that I could break with one hand. I'm not a wannabe martial artist and you can take your elitest attitude elsewhere. All I'm saying is this is COMPLETELY WASHED UP AND EXPLOITED version of Japanese martial arts. The art isn't weak, but this practicionner surely is, especially for his age. I'm 21 and I know for a FACT I could take this fool ont he video as a brown belt in Shotokan...
@metalfrommaine Chuck Liddell trained in better combatives like: wrestling, muay thai and clinch fighting. He survived with these for a while. He lost because his kenpo style keep creeping in and destroyed his striking defense. His last five opponents trained in boxing and found chuck easy to hit with an overhand punch.
like for real, expertvillage is just a tool for these wannabe practionners that get a black belt in 4 years in what would take a real martial artist 10+ to exploiit people to pay money for lessons from these "sensei". fake as f*ck! American Kempo, ROFL. I'd rather street fight or box but I'd just use Hapkido and it would be all over with. If that failed Shotokan wouldn't.
@metalfrommaine isnt that special. too bad kempo isnt AMERICAN and people like yourself and expertvillage exploit people for money teaching a washed up , watered down, weak and false art. try kyokushin or shotokan if you want real japanese experience...
@jpeg 919 as a 5th degree black belt in shotokan i know what there tequnics entaile.im also a tenth degree black belt in jukado i run a school(hombo) in westbrook maine google maine jukado to see what where all abought.i am a former european light heavy weight champ and know for a fact that most kenpo is highly effective when done properly.american kenpo is a mix of kenpo judo and goju ryu karate witch ed parker the founder of american kenpo was highly ranked in.
A common mistake in Karate is assuming the attacker is always in front of you-in sparring mode. Kenpo offers answers to these possibilities and its a MA that everyone can study regardless of age or physical limitations. If they make it work is a different conversation. Kenpo has its place in the MA world and is practiced hard-core by many and unrealistic and soft by many. Kenpo as a whole cannot be judged by a few examples on youtube.
that is what i always hated when i trained karate.these stupid attacks which nobody will ever do in a street fight.i mean who would really grab your collar before he hits you?
@GIwillo For the sake of friendly discussion-as long as grabbing is a possibility its important to study. Its hard to say what one will do or never do in self defense. I know an old guy who downed a car thief who grabbed his shoulder as he was putting the key in the door. He used a Kenpo technique (Obscure Wing) and the attacker fell to the ground ko'd and broke his collar bone upon hitting the dirt. He needed an ambulance when the cops got there. All possibilities should be considered.
All martial arts styles are deadly, Kempo Karate is as brutal as you can get. It's up to the martial artist to determine how deadly he needs to be. That is exactly why idiots that don't understand the full mechanics of Kempo Karate make them self look very stupid. It's not for everybody. Only those that understand.
big cheese... you're an idiot... You're probably one of those dumbasses that would start a fight by pushing someone anyway. This move is so fast and powerful, by the time the time you woke up in traction, the last thing you would remember is the sight of your ulna snapping through your skin. Good luck idiot!
@didobean ,,,,one of my favorite , had to use it , the guy wasn't laughing as he was holding his elbow in pain, with his eye swelling from the downward hammer fist to his temple and eye, yeh I missed ....sorry my bad!
LMAO nice check of his own arm during the attack. A part of doing demo's for so long.....Watch real careful you will see his left hand check his right arm funny one Joe Palanzo....................
@Erebos7 With added speed, your opponent won't be thinking about kicking, he will he thinking about his dislocated arm, the pain in his neck ^^, and so on so fourth.
@JamesMMcCann depends on how you use it. you could be taugh the gaurd for your ground game. and if not used properly, your fucked. its how the person uses it.
@THeOreoOriginal kenpo is the nut shot king of the arts! say what you want but that is a fact. we even trained how to bend our toes and "scoop" the other guys cup and make it snap back and get him. pretty sure we all ended up sterile..
Ummm... wouldn't it be better to just walk away if someone pushed you? I take Kempo as well (Shaolin Kempo) and my instructor has been very clear on this. We practice the techniques because they are helpful, but if someone's attacking you, sometiems simple is better. The only time I would ever resort to punching or kicking someone is if they were aggressively attacking me, and even then, I wouldn't use some fancy technique I learned in class...unless I had no other option.
@Kempokaratefan a good point, but ever see a fight end after a push? turn your back and you will probably get sucker punched. either way, the attack and the techniques are just reference points. hopefully no instructor or students believes a real self defense situation will go this way. if it does please tape it! it's just a box of tools ( no pun intended) meant to give you options and a sense of flow. no different than a 5 count boxing combo or jujitsu flow. but yea, its a bit dramatic..
@Kempokaratefan ..... everyone seems to make fun of kempo,,haha they dont take it ..american combat kempo is for real!! ya let them try in real life to mess with someone who knows kempo!
@Kempokaratefan: yes, it would be wiser to avoid conflict if you can.. but always isn't possible.. however, I practice martial art (kung fu in my case) as the way of life, not to be a master fighter (but it will happen naturally you know.. )
the whole point is marital arts were designed to where you could defend yourself is 100% no hand fighting situations some martial arts even teach weapon disarms etc etc... some teach weapons as a part of class like my kung fu school just the whole point is martial arts can have you prepared for any and every no hand fighting situation all that you said is true which also runs along with what i said.
@Kempokaratefan I would assume you would want to attack a combative individual if you felt a percieved danger...I would attack at the drop of a dime if I felt threatned...If someone is going to hurt you... strike first and strike often...pointless to run and cowardly to run as well...just saying...
@Kempokaratefan I take American Kenpo. Although these techniques do seem to be a bit much, it's only taught for a "just in case" moment. We are always taught to only use equal force to the person who is the attacker. So if they push, you wouldn't go all out.
Of course with any system within the martial arts, someone is going to use it in the wrong way and seriously harm the person who only gave them a push.
@Kempokaratefan i find it simple to make up my answer: depends. let's say you are in a bar with a friend, it's two o'clock in the morning, and then some guys enter the bar, who are kind of rowdy and obviously "looking for action", you know what i'm saying? Then just pay your bill and leave. There's nothing wrong with that. Nothing coward. That's just the best way of self defense. If you are out in the streetss, and all of a sudden a guy with a knife is jumping right in your face, you have to
you all are missing the key-point. His message is clear in 1:41: 'insurance'. This dude is only trying to sell you some insurance policy, not martial art
I pratice several styles including Kenpo. These are training drills designed to become more flexible and increase your speed. Of course no one will stand there and let you hit them over and over, after the first shot, if performed reight, the attacker will probably run and hide. Remember, this is training. You can never duplicat a real world scenario in the dojo...there are just too many variables. You must train the best way you can and hope you are never attacked out on the street.
@desciencenut I think the point of kenpo techniques is to CONDITION the body to know whare to block and strike, not nessesaraly to pull a technique out of ur ass... And I tell you what, I'd rather chop a fucker in the throt than throw a big loopy punch thats not garenteed to get a K.O., or land
@angbayemay i can see that. but sometimes its better to have KO moves lined up, plus to condition your body to get used to getting hit. it also shows the assailant you mean business, and arnt just some martial artist wannabe
@desciencenut Yes KOs are the grate to have, but look at this technique; it's not that hard to do in a fight as technques go. The first thing he dose is jam his arm, if you jam someones arm and push in, there is no way he can hit u back, you got all day to think of what to do next. then he hammers to the temple, thats a simple KO! It's like a 1-2 combo only the Jab is a Jam and the Right is a Hammerfist
Or......... how about a redirect of his hand into a double knee lift to the midsection. It's guys like this that make people hate martial arts. Is it me, or a lot of Kenpo guys are fat and slow?
Obviously, fighting one is easy ... Does this "skill" works against three people who do know martial arts?, I think not, this only works against drunk kenpo and doodles. if you lose time that way, you can go wrong.
you just can't tell these people anything can you? They keep on complaining, and I bet it's all the guys who get there but's kicked I have got like 8 years of karate and I have beaten more than brain dead zombies who have tried to come at me. The first lesson is the one youtube is not and can not teach you people is to be humble.
And let me just clarify because your response was confusing.So Bruce Lee didnt study with Ed Parker..BUT they knew each other and they both taught each other things??? So Ed Parker taught Bruce Lee his kenpo techniques but Bruce Lee didnt study with Ed Parker?? Whats the difference? And Mr. Chow said Ed wasnt even a black belt, but Ed promoted himself from1st degree to 3rd? So if he was 1st degree then he was a black belt right?
That's way too hard to remember in a street situation with stress, fear and adrenaline. Just stick to basics. One kick, or one move, the follow-up always depends on the situation and will never be the same like in training. So fuck those patterns.
@tsi2568 the deal on those patterns is you do them over and over again. They become muscle memory and you end up becoming spontaneous and techniques blur and blend. No one is ever expected to go "step step 123 123.". These are concepts.
this technique makes no sense...why waste the time and energy to throw multiple weak strikes when one or two solid ones will do the job more effectively? beyond that, think about people watching - they see someone push only to then see you respond with multiple strikes...in witnesses eyes, who's the aggressor? thanks master palanzo - you showed us all how to go to jail for excessive force because someone pushed us! brilliant....
@Miss130Rose I have seen kenpo guys in real fights. When push comes to shove all this "snapping the twig" .. or "fie swords" etc. fancy names don[t work. The good Kenpo guys would use some semi kyokushin/muay thai type kicks, some hard punching and basic bjj grappling. These fancy techniques look good, I'm sure the master is knowledgeable, but the technques have so many glaring flaws they simply will NOT work.
@BushidoCode72 The point of the techniques is not for them to be executed exactly as shown in a fight. That is what it looks like in ideal conditions. Learning + memorizing the technique is the first part. The second stage of development is coming up with ways to amend the technique to be used in less ideal circumstances. The third stage is formulation; mixing it with other techniques, utilizing the principles of the technique in combat, and taking apart and reassembling techniques in new ways.
LMAO- thats was the worst movement I have seen in Kenpo Video, maybe ever! Mr. Parker rolled over in his grave when this was taped. Mr. Parker could tell if you understood motion by watching the feet, it is obviouos there is no understanding of motion here. He changes his point of origin between strikes and leans in on his strikes, taking away from back up mass, delaying the correct timing and for the most part making it just plain slow. Kenpo is and incredible art, done correctly.
that's the problem with these moves that people teach. when someone attacks you these days, they don't use perfect form, they dont think about it, they whip out a gun or a knife and charge at you flailing their arms.
@ louis. You watch UFC and wear tapout shirts dont you? Thats your martial art background isnt it? Each one of those strikes moves and manipulates the body to set up the next strike Thats what marital arts is.ALL MARITAL ARTS.Thats the art of it."Some guys not just gonna attack you with his guard down" Are you listening to this demestration.Do you not hear and see him show you how to check a punch coming from the other hand? Or you just ignore it bc it will disprove your point?
Common sense is something that is lacking with most of these comments.Its as if Master Polonzo had sex with your mothers. For the moron that said American Kenpo is a made up art created by Ed Parker. All arts are made up by someone.Aikido was made up by some 70 year old guy. Jeet Kun Do was made up by Bruce Lee(who by the way studied kenpo under Parker) If you cant seem to see beyond Polonzos' age and weight, type in casa de kenpo and see those guys do techniques.
@flubu3333 Thank you, attacking me instead of countering my claims. It shows how mature and enlighten you are. First, to say that Ed Parker taught Bruce Lee is a lie. They knew each other and taught each other stuff. And by made up I mean, he wasn't qualify to enough to “invent” a system, since his own teacher, William Chow, said he wasn't even a black belt. (July 2005, Black Belt Magazine) And he freakin' promoted himself from 1st to 3rd black belt.
@louiswashington1977 To attack an opponent like the guy in the video does is completely asinine. He will either instinctively have his hands up or fight back or move. It is pointless to train in system that assumes the opponent will do none of that.
@louiswashington1977 This is called "fantasy self defense" Guys who know how to fight would never attack you like that. And guys who don't know how to fight would throw punches at such odd angles, you'd never catch them with these blocks/checks/counters, etc. I wouldn't waste years practicing this. Just spend 6 months in Muay Thai. These Kenpo guys will tell you that mma fighters are ll about sport and they are about real fighting. It's a lie they tell themselves.
@BushidoCode72 ..Respectfully I must disagree. I train in many forms including Kenpo, Kickboxing, Tang Soo Do, etc.In a real fight, and I have been in many bar.street fights in my past, these techniques utilizing Tiger Claw, (raking the eyes, throat), are an instant fight stopper. Most attackers don't expect you to take their eyes out of their head.Take their eyes and or head, and you have them. Been there, done that against guys twice my size. Claw the eyes, and run and cry like babies.
Let's use some common sense kenpo people. First, some guy isn't simply going to “attack” you and then have his guard done the whole time. Secondly, a series of strikes will not work b/c the guy will move or the strike will move him back. Also, kenpo is a fake MA made up by Ed Parker. There I said it, get over it.
@louis- Kenpo is the real deal Bro, I have been in it for 25 years. Problem is only a few guy actually understand how to move. Then videos on you tube are garbage. Fact is only the artist can be good, 99% of the arts taught are taught by wannbe's. Is there an art imparticular that you think is then best?
A warning to the viewer: This is not representative of traditional karate. It is either very uneducated technique or it is sport based or both. Karate is a martial art, it is about serious interpersonal conflict and defense of life. If you are viewing this for reference, I advise avoiding it as it simply does not deserve serious consideration for developmental purposes. Find videos of Okinawans performing their karate, they are the best source. See comments my channel site.
In only a few short years of training in kempo, you too can grow a midsection rivaling even this master. At that point you will be deemed worthy of a nice, new rainbow-colored kempo gi, a half a dozen stripes on your belt, and the right to open a school where you can charge people $200 a month for compliant drills and light contact sparring. Brownie points if you start balding on top and wear extremely geeky glasses while teaching your class. That's the Kempo Way.
@ clearcombat...The guys in his 60s with a reconstructed hip..Id say he looks pretty good considering...He is not competing in tournments anymore, he already did that in his 20s and 30s and was the capt of the world famous Ed Parker tourny team, id say hes proven all he needs to in his Kenpo career.
It really is sad to see a black belt so out of shape. He is so slow with his punches. This is a very outdated system. He hits himself in a few of the moves.
if you listen to when hes explaining the technique he shows you what to do if the person throws another punch..How to check it..But when learning you first have to crawl before you can walk..you need to learn the foot work and strikes, the basics, then you learn how to react when someone does something else along with the push...
This move is very practical.You might only need the first two moves.Someone goes to push you..You step back when the push comes in to buckle his arm and trap it and strike to the elbow attempting to dislocate it.Right there altercation can be over. If not checking his arm down pulls him foward into a strike to the face or neck. What if he does this? what if he does that!! that can be said for anything, and the more you study the more you learn how do deal with the what ifs
All that aside I cant stand when I read posts like "what if I did this to the guy, or that guy isnt fighting back" or "this would never work" If you study any Marital art then you would know that these TECHNIQUES are taught as concepts..You have techniques and you have sparring...You study and practice both...In sparring your not doing the techniques on each other, your fighting..Kicking punching, take downs...But you can use the concepts that you learned in the techniques in your sparring.
Its amazing how so many try to pretend they study martial arts on here but actually dont have a clue what they are talking about...Joe Palanzo has achieved more in the world of Kenpo and Marital arts then any of you can even imagine. They guys in his 60s with a fake hip, he did all his fighting and HARD hitting in his 20s and 30s and 40s, the guys a wealth of knowledge...You dont have to be some ripped ninja to teach..
Sorry, but what utter rubish, how many fights run with someone hyper extending to conveniently grab your shirt collar just before having a paralizing siezure so you can "happy slap" them to your hearts content until you deliver that famous knock out blow of mild kick to the inner thigh!! I judge as I find, and this is a ridiculous display by an incompetent practitioner which is suitable only for mockery
Do you have to be fat and bald in order to be eligible for a black belt in kempo? I don't think I've seen a single kempo instructor who was actually in shape.
My style is KNOWLEDGE , try fight me.

I'm not agressive at all, nobody can make me angry and I don't like hurting people. But about a week ago a guy started threatening me with killing me and stuff while I had never seen the guy. I ignored him, but when he kept going and started pushing me and stuff I simply took him out with Kempo Jutsu.

Even our kids would kick your ass. kenpo is simplified version of karate mixed with other arts. You're 24 and you're only a brown belt? what a joke. We start young because we take fighting very serious and got kids turning pro as young as 15. I've won way more tournaments and have been fighting way longer than you so stfu.

@metalfrommaine Chuck Liddell trained in better combatives like: wrestling, muay thai and clinch fighting. He survived with these for a while.

A common mistake in Karate is assuming the attacker is always in front of you-in sparring mode. Kenpo offers answers to these possibilities and its a MA that everyone can study regardless of age or physical limitations. If they make it work is a different conversation. Kenpo has its place in the MA world and is practiced hard-core by many and unrealistic and soft by many. Kenpo as a whole cannot be judged by a few examples on youtube.

@GIwillo For the sake of friendly discussion-as long as grabbing is a possibility its important to study. Its hard to say what one will do or never do in self defense. I know an old guy who downed a car thief who grabbed his shoulder as he was putting the key in the door. He used a Kenpo technique (Obscure Wing) and the attacker fell to the ground ko'd and broke his collar bone upon hitting the dirt. He needed an ambulance when the cops got there. All possibilities should be considered.

All martial arts styles are deadly, Kempo Karate is as brutal as you can get. It's up to the martial artist to determine how deadly he needs to be.

Ummm... wouldn't it be better to just walk away if someone pushed you? I take Kempo as well (Shaolin Kempo) and my instructor has been very clear on this. We practice the techniques because they are helpful, but if someone's attacking you, sometiems simple is better. The only time I would ever resort to punching or kicking someone is if they were aggressively attacking me, and even then, I wouldn't use some fancy technique I learned in class...unless I had no other option.
Kempokaratefan 11 months ago 12
@Kempokaratefan a good point, but ever see a fight end after a push? turn your back and you will probably get sucker punched. either way, the attack and the techniques are just reference points. hopefully no instructor or students believes a real self defense situation will go this way. if it does please tape it! it's just a box of tools ( no pun intended) meant to give you options and a sense of flow. no different than a 5 count boxing combo or jujitsu flow. but yea, its a bit dramatic..

paulbuss 6 months ago
@Kempokaratefan I take American Kenpo. Although these techniques do seem to be a bit much, it's only taught for a "just in case" moment. We are always taught to only use equal force to the person who is the attacker. So if they push, you wouldn't go all out.
Of course with any system within the martial arts, someone is going to use it in the wrong way and seriously harm the person who only gave them a push.

Then just pay your bill and leave. There's nothing wrong with that. Nothing coward. That's just the best way of self defense.

I pratice several styles including Kenpo. These are training drills designed to become more flexible and increase your speed. Of course no one will stand there and let you hit them over and over, after the first shot, if performed reight, the attacker will probably run and hide. Remember, this is training. You can never duplicat a real world scenario in the dojo...there are just too many variables. You must train the best way you can and hope you are never attacked out on the street.

@desciencenut Yes KOs are the grate to have, but look at this technique; it's not that hard to do in a fight as technques go. The first thing he dose is jam his arm, if you jam someones arm and push in, there is no way he can hit u back, you got all day to think of what to do next. then he hammers to the temple, thats a simple KO! It's like a 1-2 combo only the Jab is a Jam and the Right is a Hammerfist

These fancy techniques look good, I'm sure the master is knowledgeable, but the technques have so many glaring flaws they simply will NOT work.
BushidoCode72 1 year ago
@BushidoCode72 The point of the techniques is not for them to be executed exactly as shown in a fight. That is what it looks like in ideal conditions. Learning + memorizing the technique is the first part. The second stage of development is coming up with ways to amend the technique to be used in less ideal circumstances. The third stage is formulation; mixing it with other techniques, utilizing the principles of the technique in combat, and taking apart and reassembling techniques in new ways.

He changes his point of origin between strikes and leans in on his strikes, taking away from back up mass, delaying the correct timing and for the most part making it just plain slow. Kenpo is and incredible art, done correctly.

Common sense is something that is lacking with most of these comments.Its as if Master Polonzo had sex with your mothers. For the moron that said American Kenpo is a made up art created by Ed Parker.

Jeet Kun Do was made up by Bruce Lee(who by the way studied kenpo under Parker) If you cant seem to see beyond Polonzos' age and weight, type in casa de kenpo and see those guys do techniques.
flubu3333 1 year ago
@flubu3333 Thank you, attacking me instead of countering my claims. It shows how mature and enlighten you are. First, to say that Ed Parker taught Bruce Lee is a lie. They knew each other and taught each other stuff. And by made up I mean, he wasn't qualify to enough to “invent” a system, since his own teacher, William Chow, said he wasn't even a black belt. (July 2005, Black Belt Magazine) And he freakin' promoted himself from 1st to 3rd black belt.
louiswashington1977 1 year ago
@louiswashington1977 To attack an opponent like the guy in the video does is completely asinine. He will either instinctively have his hands up or fight back or move. It is pointless to train in system that assumes the opponent will do none of that.
louiswashington1977 1 year ago
@louiswashington1977 This is called "fantasy self defense" Guys who know how to fight would never attack you like that. And guys who don't know how to fight would throw punches at such odd angles, you'd never catch them with these blocks/checks/counters, etc. I wouldn't waste years practicing this. Just spend 6 months in Muay Thai. These Kenpo guys will tell you that mma fighters are ll about sport and they are about real fighting. It's a lie they tell themselves.

@BushidoCode72 ..Respectfully I must disagree. I train in many forms including Kenpo, Kickboxing, Tang Soo Do, etc.In a real fight, and I have been in many bar.street fights in my past, these techniques utilizing Tiger Claw, (raking the eyes, throat), are an instant fight stopper. Most attackers don't expect you to take their eyes out of their head.Take their eyes and or head, and you have them. Been there, done that against guys twice my size. Claw the eyes, and run and cry like babies.

Let's use some common sense kenpo people. First, some guy isn't simply going to “attack” you and then have his guard done the whole time. Secondly, a series of strikes will not work b/c the guy will move or the strike will move him back. Also, kenpo is a fake MA made up by Ed Parker. There I said it, get over it.

@louis- Kenpo is the real deal Bro, I have been in it for 25 years. Problem is only a few guy actually understand how to move. Then videos on you tube are garbage.

A warning to the viewer: This is not representative of traditional karate. It is either very uneducated technique or it is sport based or both. Karate is a martial art, it is about serious interpersonal conflict and defense of life. If you are viewing this for reference, I advise avoiding it as it simply does not deserve serious consideration for developmental purposes. Find videos of Okinawans performing their karate, they are the best source. See comments my channel site.

In only a few short years of training in kempo, you too can grow a midsection rivaling even this master. At that point you will be deemed worthy of a nice, new rainbow-colored kempo gi, a half a dozen stripes on your belt, and the right to open a school where you can charge people $200 a month for compliant drills and light contact sparring. Brownie points if you start balding on top and wear extremely geeky glasses while teaching your class. That's the Kempo Way.

bluemoonminis 1 year ago
This move is very practical.You might only need the first two moves.Someone goes to push you..You step back when the push comes in to buckle his arm and trap it and strike to the elbow attempting to dislocate it.Right there altercation can be over. If not checking his arm down pulls him foward into a strike to the face or neck. What if he does this? what if he does that!! that can be said for anything, and the more you study the more you learn how do deal with the what ifs

All that aside I cant stand when I read posts like "what if I did this to the guy, or that guy isnt fighting back" or "this would never work" If you study any Marital art then you would know that these TECHNIQUES are taught as concepts..You have techniques and you have sparring...You study and practice both...In sparring your not doing the techniques on each other, your fighting..Kicking punching, take downs...But you can use the concepts that you learned in the techniques in your sparring.

Its amazing how so many try to pretend they study martial arts on here but actually dont have a clue what they are talking about...Joe Palanzo has achieved more in the world of Kenpo and Marital arts then any of you can even imagine. They guys in his 60s with a fake hip, he did all his fighting and HARD hitting in his 20s and 30s and 40s, the guys a wealth of knowledge...You dont have to be some ripped ninja to teach..

Sorry, but what utter rubish, how many fights run with someone hyper extending to conveniently grab your shirt collar just before having a paralizing siezure so you can "happy slap" them to your hearts content until you deliver that famous knock out blow of mild kick to the inner thigh!! I judge as I find, and this is a ridiculous display by an incompetent practitioner which is suitable only for mockery

Do you have to be fat and bald in order to be eligible for a black belt in kempo? I don't think I've seen a single kempo instructor who was actually in shape.

@NFuNFu Asians can't genetically gain weight (muscle or fat), so any other Kenpo doesn't count.
