Jeff Speakman Kenpo In Paris

[besttrick2]

Not fat. Just a little gut is all, but hey he's older now so give him a break.

[besttrick2]

No not another fat ninja master. Its Jeff speakmen dude

[sukhoimx]

just trash



[teddywinroth]

another fat ninja master on youtube fighting a stuntman who won´t move

[voodoochiley2k]

if only all fights were choreographed. 

[pama4242]

The last comment said it best, Speakman has always struck me as a huge ego guy. He trained w/ Parker blah,blah,blah. He does look slow here.

[GohModley]

lacks the snap of paul mills

[jadeezy21]

To everyone negatively commenting on his weight gain, ya'll must be gay, addressing his body rather than the video itself. While you're sitting here critiquing his weight, he's out helping people become better martial artists. Nobody gives a fuck what you think about his weight including him, you're just another idiot on youtube. Congrats.

And to everyone who thinks they know the true essence of Kenpo, you are all ignorant dumb asses, out of several.

[youreabooger]

.... did he grab ballz? this is a crazy style man.. just started learning and figured there would be groin shots but grabs? come on..

[alxh89]

that back spin kick wasn't even close

[lococavasa]

0:13 looks cool

[saxtmich]

No disrespect to Jeff... but I really like Paul Mills system better. I am glad that Jeff has been incorporating more ground game and dare I say 'MMA Technique' to Kenpo. Even the best get taken down by someone who knows what they are doing.

[nmbo76jklq]

its not just ground cuzz its mixxed but yea he does good

[1004w12]

Why is it that American karate masters become old, fat, mullet having, screaming embarrassments?

[nmbo76jklq]

i wot two know

[powergx41]

woe he is so fat

[americainkenpokarate]

amen

[wbkenpo]

He's more like 51, born in 1958.

[tastyscabs]

OH Man that kempo looks brutal, say this is not match to ufc, but with kempp hes already hit 10 times while the ufc guys tries a gulliatine

[mattm1836]

Except teh UFC guy would win.

[wbkenpo]

UFC is not a martial arts style, it's an organization. People who fight in the UFC come from all different types of martial art styles, but specifically train to fight in the mixed martial arts sport. So to say a "UFC Guy" would win is unfounded. This video is a demo of Kenpo not MMA or UFC style fighting.

[nmbo76jklq]

aculey it is cuzz com on mixx marshal arts did you know chuck leddel does kenpo its alot of fighting styles oyea theres diffrite mixx marshal art styles it is alll the sam

[blugularis]

ROFLMAO!

[stevevandien]

Why do ANY martial artists practice techniques to counter step-through lunge punches, which no one on the street would ever use? We've been asking this question for over thirty years, and have yet to receive a response. WHY PRACTICE A TECHNIQUE THAT BY ALL ODDS YOU WILL NEVER ENCOUNTER ON THE STREET?

[wbkenpo]

Your kidding right? You've never seen a fight where someone is walking towards another person and just lunges through with a straight punch? You obviously haven't seen too many street fights. Even if you were right, it never hurts to learn the possible and perfect the probable.

[stevevandien]

In how many street fights has the attacker employed such a step-through punch (stepping with the right foot and throwing the right hand with full commitment while PULLING THE LEFT HAND BACK TO THE HIP)?

You are my senior in kenpo, so I don't mean to insult you. But do ANY serious street fighters punch like this? Do ANY step thus while throwing a haymaker? Such steps would expose them to counterattacks. So are they stupid? I ask these questions sincerely, with respect--

[wbkenpo]

In reality, 90% of street fights are fought by untrained people, stupid and/or ignorant. I have yet to see a fight that was initiated by an actual, well trained fighter and I've seen a few. What I've seen most often starts with words, next a one hand or two hand push (testing the waters), then full commitment with a wild haymaker round house punch or lunging straight punch. The punch is never thought out very well as far as form. If there is distance between them, then yes, a step through.

[stevevandien]

AH -- OK, thank you very much for the information. I didn't mean to argue against kenpo's effectiveness (I had studied the Tracy brothers' variation). As a kid, I used some basic techniques to defend myself against school bullies. As you say, they'd start with a push; I'd parry their hands, leaving them wide open. That would usually startle them so much that they'd back down. Thank you once more:). Respectfully, Steve

[nmbo76jklq]

hallo

[sinetwo]

Yep, if I see a fight it's either people talking bs for 2 hours then deciding to part, or someone throws one punch and it's over.

I guess it's best to just avoid it overall but it's funny to watch people slag eachother off for no reason :P

[GohModley]

If that's true then Kenpo must kick ass in the street. However, if he follow your logic, too bad Kenpo must rely on "stupid and/or ignorant" and perhaps half-crippled midgets in order to shine.

[wbkenpo]

The point was, most trained fighters, Kenpo or otherwise don't go to the streets looking for a fight. If they do, they're not mentally trained very well. The other thing, we don't train to "shine", we train to protect. Kenpo is primarily a self defense style. A lot of what we do can be used in sport fighting if we train to do so. If your ever really curious, go down to one of Mr. Speakman's gyms and ask to spar one of his students. That should answer your questions.

[iloveamberdavis]

hey wacth it!

pama4242 im related to him

josh speakman

[pama4242]

The clip I'm referring to is the knife scene with the 3 guys that conveniently fall into a pile, what a joke :)

[pama4242]

He is 51 yrs old, look it up, the clip he did in perfect weapon was sped up, he has never displayed that kind of speed since. REALITY

[pama4242]

Now folks you know you can't call Mr. Perfect weapon fat. HE HAS A DISEASE, IT'S CALLED BEING FAT!! Stop w/ these excuses, I heard so much in defending old Kenpo guys, Please

[TimA340]

for those of you here who call yourselves martial artists remember you teach or practice Humility, respect ,honor and calm spirit yet listen to how you talk to each other. Im not here to preach at all but Ive known jeff a long time I know he needs no defence by anyone even with good intentions. You know what you think of him or know about him and someone saying otherwise doesnt chg that fact. To react to someones opinion or negative energy is like giving a man a sword to slay u. JMO Namaste

[deathshead73]

he has some sort of auto-immune disorder, thats why he's gained weight. Its got nothing to do with being lazy!

[Marlisha21]

I liked Jeff in the perfect weapon but he has gained alot of weight since then. The fighting almost looked too fake to me in this video.

[KillerSalmon]

They're not fighting. It's a demo.

[Kungfumasterjeff]

Keith Hackney was the toughest kenpo artist ever! That's why he did okay in UFC.

[GohModley]

the Imperfect Weapon strikes again

[IRONFISTSTRIKE]

I like Jeff Speakman's style but he gain alot of weight since the perfect weapon. What's up with that? Have U seen Steven Segal? Damn! Get that weight off...its not healthy.

[funk7000]

Yeah, the skills never go away regardless, but if they kept the weight off, they would be much more effective overall. I know that it's harder as you get older no matter who you are, but you would think Seagal and Speakmen have emnough money and resources to stay in optimal shape as well as train to keep their martial arts skills sharp.

[Hyekenpo7]

unlike other martial arts out there, MOST kenpo schools(like jeff speakman schools) dont hand out black belts for breaking a board or give themselves 10th degree black belts and calling themselves masters...check your shit talk before opening your mouths....

[Hyekenpo7]

Hi thanks to those that actually have trained in kenpo and know what the hell they are talking about and to the unintellectual morons who's only comment is that Speakman is fat...boviously you shouldnt be watching a martial arts video if you have no experience or idea of what it is or who jeff speakman is..but if you think kenpo is weak be my guest go up against a black belt in kenpo and then open your mouths.

[readynow12345]

Is it just me or does jeff look like a fat pig.

[ninjayang]

No, that's your mom. Thanks for the negative comment, we're all so anxious to hear yet another person insulting every video on youtube because they have nothing constructive to say.

[readynow12345]

Get over it egg roll or sally, truth be told he's fat as hell unless your blind ass wipe.

[ninjayang]

egg roll or sally? wtf? I don't care if he's fat or not, if you had any respect for yourself you wouldn't be on here trying to bring everybody down. Find a better hobby, something that takes some effort, that people can respect you for.

[morebooks2005]

Yep..he has gained weight, but not for a lack of exercise...he has some sort of auto-immune disorder,,,,,,,,,regardless, he is very skilled

[KungFuKid1015]

I have never taken up kempo, I have always been a Kung Fu and Aikido person, but I have always had an admiration for Kempo. I also have always had a great respect for jeff speakman, ever since I saw the Perfect Weapon. Does anyone know where I can find more of his movies? please send me a reply. Thank You

[Smackdaddy9]

I spent four years in a Kenpo Dojo. That display was fucking weak. Why would you try to defend it?

[cmoore300]

KENPO HAS POWER omg people kill me so quick to make noise about something they havent tried stand in a kenpo dojo and feel it for yourself then give an intelligent comment

[javoman13]

He looks a little fat.

[xtremefight]

Oh god that was awful

[Nikrou]

the thing i hate is that they put no power into their moves...

[thanks51]

I agree. Except the throat strikes. It's pretty and all, but no one is gonna just stand there and let you do all of those combos on them.

[Nikrou]

yah i agree u cant really use that stuff in the street but i think martial arts is more for show and fitness etc just like Gymnastics etc... it has a lot of practicallity but i enjoy the aestetic aspects more

[wbkenpo]

The best thing to do is go to a Kenpo school and try it. Kenpo is very practical for street fighting and is specifically designed for it. Demos are slow, but attack a trained Kenpoist for real and your in trouble.

[wbkenpo]

@jaikaransingh I'm guessing that you might have misunderstood what I meant by "street fighting". What I should have said was self defense. As for research, that's all I've done for the past 5 years is study Kenpo and 30 years prior to that is other various forms of martial arts. As a blackbelt, I train and teach under Keith Gorham. My mind is as open as they get, why would you assume it wasn't.

[ninjayang]

HA! Obviously you people have never trained. Martial arts is more powerful than anything. Of course they aren't using full power in a demo. It's just a demonstration, they don't want to hurt all the people who are playing the attackers. The thing is, you have to be REALLY good to use it in the streets. My sensei said when you get your black belt, you've really only mastered the purple belt stuff (4 belts lower). But a real martial artist doesn't go looking for street fights anyway.

[thelebronjamesblitz]

Keith Hackney.

[thanks51]

I remember that! He struck him in the temple with a palm strike. AAhhh memories....

[Rosman1974]

I'd like to see His shit against BJJ!!!!! Shit that motherfucker won't last 1 round!

[hollywood1340]

You'd be surpised, take a look at what he's doing these days with his Kenpo 5.0. Pretty big words on an internet video site there man. Scared me!

[SteveBanke]

You are arrogant.

[corndog125nalald]

Now i study BJJ and francly, its not the answer to every thing. BJJ is constintly pron to bites, eye gauges, and slams. . .Slams may not be that bad on the matt, but i tell you they are deadly in the street. . Ferthermore, i dont want to be rolling with a fellow as his friends jump in to stomp my head in.

A good martial artest needs to know BJJ. But if that is all you know then you are no better then someone who only studies Karate. . .Its single minded ignorance.

[barrettokarate]

Jeff is a pretty good kenpo guy but why doesn't he give his real instructor any credit in his interviews? He always claiming to be an Ed Parker protégé. Saying Ed taught him this and taught him that, but it was really Larry Tatum who was his teacher. Larry trained Jeff from white belt all the way to second degree black belt. When Parker died Jeff was only a fourth dan, so most of his tutelage came under Tatum.

[c0nfu53d]

that guy is so white and he sucks

[newmedstudent]

Mr speakman has so much power and talent for the films, I would love to be his fight choreographer!

[Nefurious50]

To Glacies12, get this u little pussy... my uncle is only a 3rd degree black in this stuff and Jeff Speakman is a 7th degree. Now did u get that so far through ur little shit brain? My uncle got jumped by 4 guys when he was coming home from work. Follow me so far? They were STREET fighters on the STREET and he laid them the FUCK out. He left with mild black eye and somewhat of a bloody lip. you fight some1 who knows kenpo and then talk shit hmm? then maybe people will give a shit what u think?

[todei79]

That roundhouse kick had lightning speed. lol

[damiencholet]

it s a comedy? it s not reality!

[freakyfreak69]

Dude He's frickin' amazin'!!! dude i wantta take kempo, im already in Shaolin kempo karate and i known bout 6 other styles but kempo would deffinatly destroy all.

[TravKenpo]

TO EVERYONE WHO IS NEGATIVE ABOUT MR. SPEAKMAN: I would appreciate if you kept your negative opinions to yourself. People come here to see clips of Mr. Speakman. They don't need the any bull remarks from Speakman haters. I have trained with Mr. Speakman and HE is the best at what He does!!!

[showmethelight]

I LOVED that movie "The Perfect Weapon"! Plus he's a cutie as well!! Tell him I said hi!! :)

[naughty00e]

A few people said Chuck NOrris sucked, and now they talk funny.

[alexcolman1]

this is for Glacies12, have you ever studied kenpo?? i guess not judging by your comment, show some respect to mr.jeff speakman, study the art of kenpo then tell me if its for children or not, show some respect to the art. and keep those comments to yourself, dont judge a book by its cover, go to a kenpo school and see the art for yourself.

[Glacies12]

He sucks dick and kenpo is for children

Next time watch him fight someone who can fight back.

[TravKenpo]

Mr. Speakman is a good friend of mine so watch it!, Bub!

[Glacies12]

umm...suck dick retard?

yah that will do.

[TravKenpo]

Glacies-12, You have no respect for the martial arts. You have a big mouth and because this, You have brought shame yourself and the very martial discipline you "So Call" say you know. You obviously have never met Mr. Speakman or you would not talk trash about him. You are an uneducated "Partial Artist!"

[Glacies12]

and you are a spastic retard. were even

[adangonzalezelmormon]

glacies12, i'm sure you wouldnt talk crap if you wernt behind the safty of your computer. go to a real kenpo/kempo school and then speak your mind and film it.

[Ja71178]

Nice Kenpo moves! I have always liked Jeff Speakmans techniques.

[KenpoLeg]

the only real kenpo movie star

[adangonzalezelmormon]

lol! i loved the second to the last technique. i loved the "groin throw"! speakman is a true kenpo man.

[TravKenpo]

Mr. Speakman is 232lbs. of muscle!!!

[TheBXSici1ian]

[Empha84]

Speak man is chunky now but can still fight.

[riskko]
