ATACX GYM KENPO KARATE: YELLOW BELT CHECKING THE STORM PT.4

[Kenpohi]

nice technique, i do the begining of thrusting lance and glancing lance the same except i pull the knife to the hip (technique dictating which side hip) before the headbut, i learnt it from mo teague a world renowned s p instructor on a face the blade seminar for bouncers, if you pin the arm first instead of grabing you can apply it preemptively against concealed carries and as the blade is drawn.

[ATACXGYM]

@Kenpohi I do that too--hip levers--but in the States the knifer is likely to attack with his other hand,and I've seen knockouts happen when the defender is overly occupied with the knife in the attacker's hand. I saw 2 people get knifed AFTER they've been KO'd.So I nuetralize all options from the attacker almost instantly but prioritize any weapon first.That's why I spend such time nuetralizing and manipulating the attacking hand,posture and the "live"/empty hand almost simultaneously.

[Kenpohi]

@ATACXGYM there is a massive increase in knife attacks in the uk so i know you are right about watching for the other hand, thats why my preference is the outside line (like yourself) so i can bar the knife arm elbow with my hip (cancelling the left hand), then head but, and maybe follow with glancing lance, or stick the blade back in the attacker and go for raining lance (which can also be used preemptively at the carry/draw stage once the knife hand is pinned)

[ATACXGYM]

@Kenpohi All of those assessments I agree with,my Kenpo brother.I like using knees elbows head butts,sweeps trips throws tie ups joint locks traps chokes gouges rips and the like in close,and I am very good at kicks...I just don't show too many in the beginning stage videos that I put on YT because I don't want somebody who's insufficiently trained to try it.I tend to precede my head butt with a trap (so I don't get countered) and follow my head butt with a hand tech in order to maximize damage

Nice Demo. i always prefer the outside line when i have a choice, There is less of the opponant i have to worry about. I also prefer not to have back to my opponant if ican avoid it, even if it is a split second since he may have another knife. but sometimes that is not a option of choice. and its always good to keep track where the knife is and when it is on the ground and i am wrestling with the guy, i dont want him to pick up the knife with his other hand.

[ATACXGYM]

@naumutroi You have a keen eye. I too prefer the outside line of attack and not to give my opponent my back,but oftentimes the situation may not give us our preferred options so we have to be equally capable and comfy with entering and defending from any angle or point in a 360 degree sphere

@ATACXGYM Thank you.

LOL! your trying way to hard brotha... i know you want something to call your own, but my god.. your going waay outside the realm of what the conceptual parts of the technique is teaching. If you just want people to say your techs are cool or different go right ahead, But please give the kenpo up, your totally lost on what kenpo is or about, and your not helping those who want to understand kenpo they just dont know any better, you are misleading thos uninformed souls.

[ATACXGYM]

@kenpotalkz How exactly am I totally lost on what kenpo is? Quite a few illustrious experienced and skilled instructors ranging from various grandmasters to John Hackleman--kempo and kenpo instructor,teacher of Chuck Liddel--wholly disagree with you. But I know I don't know it all;perhaps you can put up your Checking the Storm videos and demonstrate your superlative tech and sublime knowledge for us? That would be appreciated.I mean that with no disrespect.
