I'm really interested in learning kenpo. Does anyone here who knows what the heck they are talking about have any advice? it seems like half the people on youtube just like to say negative things for the hell of it so please don't waist my time with bullshit. I am very serious about my martial arts and expect the same from you. The reason i am thinking of learning kenpo is because of the fast paced, precise striking. I feel like it would suit my fighting style well.Thanks for reading.
I am amazed at allot of comments on the internet about MMA fighting. Poepl don't get that MMA is a sport, not a real fight. There are many rules in MMA, there are nop rules on the street. I also train in bjj, but that last place I want o be on the street or ina bar is on the floor...been there done that.
Always liked Ed. Took lessons from him when I was a kid in California. Studied under Chuck Norris via Chip Wright and Bob Barrow and lots of others. i always considered Ed to be as good as any of them.
MMA is a brutal and I can respect it. I'm a Kenpo student and for those who think they can gauge their skill with sparring is stupid. The guy who thinks that being a mma fighter makes him a worthy opponent to a true Kenpo fighter in a street fight will certainly be killed quicker than u can say mma. My sensei was taught by Master Larry Tatum, who is a direct link to Grand Master Ed Parker. I respect all arts and styles and for u to think that Kenpo is a joke u are sadly mistaken. I hope with th
@shizz365 You can't be serious! These Kenpo fighters are all about silly named techniques. Their hands are always opened and what's with the slapping on hard tissue? A MMA fighter has street respect also. What are you going to do to him that he doesn't face thousands a time a year. Secondly, I don't care who your teacher was trained by, Kenpo is old and weak.
I have studied many forms of martial arts.I train MMA at the moment and really enjoy a well rounded training agenda.Chuck Lidell is my favorite MMA fighter of all time but Ed Parker probably would have put the Ice Man on the Ice.their is a big difference between a cage and fighting for ones life.God bless Ed and dont arrogantly scoff at any martial art.The people who created these systems put their soul into it.Some are thousands of years old and hold the key to a warriors path.Peace out
@Relivedmemories Ed Parker was so overweigh that he died in his late fifties. He never could move and was more into being famous than lethal. Now for the most embarrassing statement on YOUTUBE, you said Liddell would lose to Parker! Are you nuts !? Chuck had a wrestling background and tons of street fights, read his book.
I've fought in numerous ring sports, and anyone whose ever been in fights where there is no ref knows there is a very real chance of having some hopped up ex con pin you down and bite a scar into your face. Kenpo isn't for any championship belt, it's for the very real visceral things that happen out there. An eye gouge will stop a triangle choke with the quickness.
parker was the biggest fool ever ive sparred with kenpo guys who have 20+ years and beat all of them they cant fight worth shit and these are the first generation guys its all about kung fu san soo karate is a fake system made to hurt yourself and get hit! the chinese "kung fu" are better then the japanese "karate" karate was invented by the chinese for the japanese to fuck themselves up!
@ocsoguy First of all you have not sparred shit. I am sure that if you came accross some who knew kenpo they wold have kicked your ass. Kenpo is one of the deadliest arts that is out there. The only thing yu have sparred is a wet dream.
I knon kenpo guys and they are a joke, i have sparred with plenty and i know the stories of parker that not even his own guys know, living here in So Cal there is plenty of them and I have sparred with the first generations your style is a joke.
If you actually watch early Ufc videos before alot of rules were added many kenpo guys got smashed . I actually got hit with the 1" power punch by Ed parker ( i mean this with full respect to Ed) but chuck liddel would have killed him on the street.I as far as instuctors go ED was the best there was .One of the only instuctors during demos to just say attack me, with out knowing what was coming unlike all those vids on you tube .trained fighter dont just stand there???
Hey reality check here boys. I studied kenpo for 15 years and trained with ED before he died many years ago have made the transition to MMA. .MMA is the real deal. Its as close to all out real fighting as there is.I have trained in many martial arts over the years and all those combos you see in all types of fighting arts dont work in real life because in real life the opponent actually MOVES AND HITS BACK WITH SPEED. All these moves are just training techs.
@xxhotsexymamaxx: Reality check huh? According to your profile you're 24 which means 1: GM Parker passed away when you were four years old and 2: GM Parker didn't teach three year olds EPAK, he wasn't running a McDojo. Based off of that lie as well as your ignorance of EPAK Technique it's safe to say the extent of your MA training is watching the UFC and youtube videos.
MMA largely misleads its audiences. MMA prevents martials arts fighters, like Kenpo practitioners, from using moves that are meant to severely injure, or kill, as a result, you get fighters who are largely stuck with restrictive wrestling rules, and those moves, period. The true martial artist has been defanged and declawed by those rules. Therefore, you are not seeing true demonstrations of the power of martial arts, and just how dangerous, and deadly, it can be.
I have had an idea on how...best to do it, so that these competitions are balanced, to best determine whom the best fighter is in a given bout, based upon both fighters' skill sets, speed, power, conditioning, and opportunities, as presented by their opponents. Since, however, I am not being paid, I am not going to help other people get rich as I play witness to my ideas being used in that effort. I'll simply say that the fights need to be drastically restructured, and reimagined.
MMA does not allow many moves, even in wrestling, that would go to a martial artist's advantage in a fight. Kenpo is meant for one purpose, self defense--which means maiming, or killing your opponent...with brute force. MMA, with good reason does not wish to allow certain fighting techniques for fear of serious injury to combatants, that said, they need to change the rules, so the competitions are less wrestling heavy, since martial artists are not allowed to use their full skills.
saw a guy on felony fights claiming he had a black belt in kenpo. he got knocked out first out of 6 people combined fighting at the same time. lololololololol
Ding, Dong, the witch is dead! Apparenlty that seething ball of hate known as @nerdswers channel has finally left or been removed from youtube! Let Ed Parker finally rest in peace.
It is funny to read some of the comments here..... All MMA fighters that have access to the internet please take the time to find the schools of Tommy Chavies, Ron Chapel, Frank Trejo, Steve Muhammad or Paul Mills...! You will cash in that MMA dream for the truth of KENPO...! To see is to be deceived but to feel is to believe.....!
@1333Hannibal1 lmfao you got to be kidding me. why are all you kempo guys so fat and out of shape. bjj has already broken this crap down. you guys don't have any groundfighting. lol try blocking a muay thai kick with your hands, you'll probably get it broken. MMA fighters cash in for the truth of Kenpo? LMAO
@1333Hannibal1 You nailed it. However, be proud to know that in the age of "everyone wears a tap out shirt and wants to train MMA," that Mr. Parker was light years away from most if not all arts (I would add that Kali is a close cousin, as well as some Krav Maga, and kajukenbo depending on how "tight" the instructor is). Most martial artists who even see kenpo on youtube dismiss it as a slap art or something that makes no sense. Kenpo is chess in a world of checkers.
Hi, do you have or know where I can download the Larry Tatum Technique dvd's - I have them on VHS but would love them in .avi or MPEG, anyone help me ? yours in Kenpo.
Please email if you can help, eamon_carty@hotmail.com
wow, all this insulting on this particular youtube video, how sad *eye roll* if you are gonna E-fight, do it somewhere else, so people would want to post on the video can, and if they want to reply, there isn't mindless dribble to sort thru, sheesh! just my opinion.........anyone know where this video came from, like a traning video or what not?
Interesting. Looks like Parker was already starting to incorporate some kali he'd been shown by his friend and close associate dan Inosanto. What people don't know is that Bruce Lee actually was under Parker's guidance until Parker told him he should work more closely with Inosanto because of Lee's filipono/asian heritage and roots. Parker is one of the reasons JKD was developed, pretty crazy huh?! hehe
@HermannTheGreat Don't link JKD with Kenpo. In fact, Bruce Lee referred to kenpo's way of training as "dry swimming"... that was so because kenpoists trained with static ukes and were not able to employ their techniques in a lively sparring or training situation against a resisting opponent.
@nerdswers Sorry nerdswers that you're clueless about the history of bruce lee and JKD. Lee was an actor and psuedo-philosopher, nothing more. The only reason JKD is even around is because Parker introduced him to Inosanto and told Inosanto to work with him.
@HermannTheGreat Well, that is not what Inosanto says. Look it up! Inosanto says he was a direct student of Bruce Lee and he talks about JF-JKD to refer to the original JKD taught by Bruce Lee.
you claim to have done kempo, you should recognize it
not to mention he recognizes himself as a kempo practitioner.
you run around making unfounded arguments about things you have no
knowledge of...all for what? to show the world what a jack ass you are? youre not proving anything to anyone that has any level of proper cognitive function. if kempo is so useless then why waste your time on it
nerdswers I'm no master at much, but I offer you an open invite to come down to N.C. and teach me. I have the dojo or we can use the outside street if that fits your teaching skills better. I really want to learn what you can teach this old man...I'm always ready to learn. "Now I offer this in a friendly way" I'm not being cocky.
Just want to learn from you what you say Kenpo never taught me.
We may even be able to raise the travel cash for you!
Better yet...we have a Kenpo Camp next month here in NC with many Kenpoist and Masters from all over the US.
I'm sure they would be glad to have you drop by and show them all how much they suck. Kenpoist are always open to learning new stuff. I'm friends with the promoter and the Masters..I'm sure I can get you a spot as an Instructor.
@mrtle5 kenpo is about doing LOTS of static demos and public "exhibitions". There is nothing in kenpo that is proven against resisting opponents... this is where all your crap fails. Good for McDojos, bad for real life.
@mrtle5 Everything kenpoists do is for LEARNING purposes... they need to start doing something for PRACTICAL purposes and see if all those theoretical constructs actually work. If you did that, you'd be in for a surprise... none of that flashy handwaiving works and you've just given more beer money to your local fat McDojo instructor.
@mrtle5 I have not looked at your page, but you must be a 15 year old using daddy's computer without permission.
For every single static demo on my page, I can show you 5 different videos (just on YouTube) where the technique is used against a resisting opponent. Something you and all of your fatty kenpo "instructors" can't do.
@nerdswers Seriously, is incessanty going to one Kenpo vid after another for months doing nothing but trash-talking all you have to do with your life? Are things that boring in Venezuela? You'd think an "enightened" fighter as yourself would find it hardly worth the effort; seems you have a huge chip on your shoulder my friend. Since you obviously have problems with Ed Parker, what's your opinion of Wiliam Chow's Kara Ho Kempo or James Mitose's Kosho Ryu Kenpo Jiu-Jitsu systems?
@44excalibur I'll keep educating people about how useless kenpo is... if you have seen my postings, I'm sure others have as well. I have nothing against styles that train realistically, but kenpo is just a waste of time. I never practiced Kara Ho Kempo or Koshoy Ryu Kenpo with the Mitose's so I can't speak from experience (like I do with American Kenpo). But if the net product available today is any reflection of what they originated, I'd put those systems in the same bucket as American Kenpo.
@nerdswers Well then you are judging styles without knowing anything about them, which isn't very educational. If you did your research you would know that Parker changed 90% of what Kenpo was under the Mitose/Chow lineage, so perhaps you should educate yourself in some history. And I'm sorry, but if you want to educate people start your own class, because anyone who obsessively posts negative comments on youtube with as much frequency as you do has issues. Youtube warriors don't impress anyone.
@44excalibur You probably don't know how to read... I said I could not speak for Mitose's styles because I had not practiced those styles. I have practiced American Kenpo and I'm familiar with the crap Parker produced. It seems that the 90% he changed was to eliminate what worked in Mitose's systems.
@nerdswers One more thing... you guys are so much into history, developing fighting theories and trying to regurgitate the incorrect physics lessons from your fat instructors that you forget to spend more time sparring and using your techniques against resisting opponents. So much so, that many kenpoists have had to take bjj, boxing, kickboxing and wrestling to start learning how to fight.
@nerdswers I know how to read. Your exact words were "But if the net product available today is any reflection of what they originated, I'd put those systems in the same bucket as American Kenpo". That's being very judgemental about styles you haven't practiced. And accusing me of not knowing how to read just shows how much pent up anger and emotional issues you seem to have when you must always react with such hostility. And Wiliam Chow didn't get the name "Thunderbolt" by being fat.
@44excalibur Then you can't understand what you read...I'm speaking about whatever part of Mitose's system that remains today. I can do that because I've witnessed today's Kosho Ryu's practice style, and more importantly, I've sparred Koshy Ryu instructors.Good try taking a phrase from my post and taking it out of context.
Today's Kenpo system doesn't work against resisting opponents and there is ample evidence of that.
@nerdswers When you say "Today's" are you referring to American Kenpo, or the Kara Ho or Kosho Ryu systems? You stated earlier that you never practiced those styles and couldn't speak for them. Now you say you've sparred against Kosho Ryu instructors, which you didn't say before. I'm not taking anything out of context, you are simply contradicting yourself and ranting like you seem to do on every vid you go to, which again implies you have psychological issues.
@nerdswers By the way... I've witnessed Kosho Ryu practices, not Kara Ho practices. I have also practiced American Kenpo for several years. I know you like to take stuff out of context so let's clarify.
It is interesting how you are not arguing with me about kenpo but you are trying to take things out of context to avoid a direct conversation about kenpo.
@nerdswers And based on your "WITNESSING" you are making assumptions about styles you never practiced. Your bias seems aimed at Parker's system. I am hardly dumb, sir. You waste an awuful lotofo youtube space "educating" people on what you perceive to be American Kenpo's weakesses, but you're really just using that as an excuse to vent your own frustrations and idiosyncrasies which no competent instructor would do. As I said, seek psychological help.
@44excalibur I speak more strongly about Parker's system because I have practiced American Kenpo and, regrettably, I hold a brown belt in this crappy system.
Again, you have no argument about the topic at hand (kenpo). Instead you are trying to extract some selected phrases out of context. I understand you have no arguments to proof that kenpo works against resisting opponents, but going from there to try to evaluate me phsychologically is totally absurd and dumb.
@nerdswers By the way, I'm not talking about perceived kenpo weaknesses... there is AMPLE evidence about it. On the other hand, I haven't seen any evidence proving that kenpo works against resisting opponents. This is why I quit kenpo 10 years ago.
@nerdswers yet here you are, constantly exacting revenge on the Parker system, venting your criticisms aginst it. Why? Do you see the Gracies or the Machado's doing this? Would Chuck Norris applaud this type of behavior? And try telling UFC Kenpo expert Chuck Lidell that his style doesn't work. He trains in Hawaiian Kenpo and it works for him. It's not absurd and dumb to point out that you have emotional problems that lead to obsessive compulsive behavior such as the kind you exhibit on youtube.
@44excalibur You still can't understand? Haha! The Gracies went a step further and went on to kick a kenpo instructor's ass in public just to prove the point I'm trying to help you understand. Chuck Lidell also played baseball...Do you think baseball helps him in the cage today?Just find a single kenpo technique in any of Chuck's fight and then you can use that as proof that kenpo works.Otherwise,it's like saying that his baseball experience also helped him be a better MMA figther.
@nerdswers baseball? That's your arguement? I told you, go up to Chuck Lidell and engage him in an arguement about his style of Kenpo(or Kempo as he calls it) and see how many teeth you might have to replace afterwards. have a nice day. =)
@44excalibur Have you heard Chuck Norris talking about Bruce Lee? He said Bruce Lee was an ACTOR not a FIGHTER. When the commentator asked Chuck if he could have beaten Bruce Lee he said: "I'm a professional fighter and he wasn't."
However, even Bruce ventured to spar and his system can be used against resisting opponents. Bruce said that practice with static ukes was like "dry swimming"... that is what kenpo is.
@nerdswers Again, you are basing your opinions on AMERICAN Kenpo. There are many other types of Kenpo ou there, including the Kara ho and Kosho ryu and Shorinji Kempo systems that you cannot compare to the Parker systems. And the Gracies tested their styles agains a wide variety of systems, not just Kenpo, but even they know you need a good stand up game as well. It seems you just use you anger at the Parker system to go on sensless rants all over the place.
@44excalibur The video we are commenting on is an AMERICAN KENPO video so it is OBVIOUS that my comments are targeting this particular system. Are you really that DUMB?? My gosh!
@nerdswers No, but apparently you are, since you have forgotten that my first post was to not use American Kenpo as a basis for judging Kenpoists since Parker's system has very little of the original Kenpo/Kempo system under Chow and Mitose left in it. Like I said, you react with such hostility and have such and obsessive-compulsive desire to rant about Parker's system, that it says a lot more about your psychological state than it does about Kenpo.
@nerdswers And with that nerdswers, you have just proven yourself to be a very shallow and petty human being who likes to talk down to people on youtube to make himself feel like a man, which no self-respecting martial arts instructor would do. Talking about incest and rape in such a way shows wha a truly despicable human being you are. Hitler could speak several languages just as you do, but that hardly spoke well of him.
@nerdswers No, you don't seem to say much of anything, do you? the only thing you've actually proven is that you're a guy who likes to sit and watch his youtube vids and never actually uploaded any of your own, making insane rants all over Youtube like a fanatic. your child rape commet was digusting and disgraceful, and there is no way to justify yourself. You are simply an angry individual who likes to play youtube warrior, and real MMA fighters would see you as a joke.
@44excalibur SInce you are talking so much about martial arts instructors... should I ask you if you are a martial arts instructor? I think you are begging for me to ask this question. If so, be honest... are you overweight and over 50 years old?
@nerdswers no, I am neither overweight nor am I anywhere near 50, but you sir are a truly sick and depraved individual who masquarades as a martial artist, but is really just a youtube warrior who has nothing better do do with his time than rant, otherwise, you'd be off teaching, instructing, or competing, not spending your time here.
@nerdswers Yes, I am here as well. And what I'm NOT doing is going around youtube talking down to people or obsessively attacking MA vids like some kind of evangelical nutjob. I'm also not making jokes about incest and child rape like you do. Take your obsession over Ed Parker and drown yourself in it if you want. And go on making statements about the Mitose/Chow lineage which you haven't trained in. I know you don't care to justify yourself because sociopaths hardly ever do.
@44excalibur I'm not the one going over Youtube doing psychological analysis of people and discussing subjects that are not at all related to the videos. Who is the obsessive person here? There are plenty of videos about psychology on Youtube... go there and post all your BS there.
See, you have achieved your objective of derailing this conversation from kenpo to psychological BS. Now, you can't handle it.
@nerdswers Sory, but I wasn't talking about American Kenpo, I was discussing Kara Ho and Kosho Ryu, which you "can't speak for" to use your own words because you've never trained in them, so you really can't comment. And I think your youtube record speaks for itself with regards to your mental state of mind, not to mention how you joke about child rape and incest. Real MMA fighters would look at you as a disgrace. I pity you.
@44excalibur I knew you would love the comment about the origins of your obsession about psychology. Anyone reading the thread below would know how out of place your comments are given that I've been discussing American Kenpo all the time given that this is an American Kenpo video.
I'll state it here again for you... I've sparred Kosho Ryu instructors and they SUCK. They are not just instructors, they are 6, 7 and 8th degree black belts. They simply suck.
@nerdswers Sorry, but there are no origins and the only one obsessed here is you. I have no personal experience with incest or child rape, but any person need not have those to be disgusted with the comments you made. any normal clear-thinking person could see you for the digusting person you are. And I have nothing but your say so as to your experience, so unles you have some vids of yourself to upload, keep talking to yourself.
@nerdswers And now you make homophobic slurs? you're racking them up nerd guy. like i said, with every word you say you are proving yourself a degenerate.
@nerdswers And you are a liar, a coward and a degenerate who has no proof of any of your claims. First you say you have never studied Kosho Ryu and Kara Ho and can't speak for them, then a little later you claim to have sparred Kosho Ryu blackbelts and say they suck. Get your story straight. You say you are "educating" people, yet you only have vids fav'd of other people doing things, but none of your own. That's because you have no vids to show and none of the experience you claim to have.
@44excalibur By this I understand that you only practice a single art without ever venturing to spar outside of your mcdojo. Otherwise you would understand that you can spar anyone without having to practice their styles. If that wasn't the case, there would be no UFC today. You are a moron.
@nerdswers If you had any proof of your so called fight experience you would have uploaded it by now, but you don't, you just watch what other people have done and act like an armchair martial artist to make up for your inadequacies. With every word you say on every vid you go to on youtube, you prove yourself to anyone who can see your posts to be an angry, bitter, insecure and emotionally distrubed individual who need not back up his boasts with proof, but rather hides behind his username.
@nerdswers oh and i didnt follow you to this video at this point in time.
you replied to my comment and i followed suite and replied to you
and if im "messed up" what does that make you? youre some extremist that goes from video to video talking shit, to anyone and everyone, making poorly founded insults and making assumptions that are even more poorly founded than your insults...all for what? to feel a false sense of accomplishment? you shouldnt be talking...
@nerdswers And spare me the Gracie infomercial. I am well aware of how Mitsuyo Maeda brought Kodokan Judo to Brazil which became BJJ. I am also aware that when the Gracies went to Japan to challenge the masters they got their asses kicked, from Helio down to "steroid" Royce. I doubt you have ever fought anyone other then Parker Kenpo practitioners when you supposedly got your brown belt and sucked at it, and now spend your life ranting about it on youtube.
@nerdswers I could care les about the Parker system, but I do know that anyone who sepnds as much time as you do on the internet going from one vid to the next has little time to be doing the fighting and training you claim to do, which is why you have no vids uploaded of you doing them. Again, you lie and contradict yourself, and have no argument of proof to back up your insane rants. And you obviously have a quite perverted mentality from some of the things you said.
@nerdswers You will obviously reply with one of your nosensical rants with no proof to back them up, just a youtube channel filled with favorited vids of people doing the things you only watch, and no one could care less about what you say because you have been exposed for the fraud and the poseur that you are; a wannabe who only has a blackbelt in youtube ranting. Enjoy the rest of your sad, delusional existence, and pray you never meet Chuck Lidell face to face or you won't have one left.
@nerdswers and you do realize that bruce lee learned and studied with ed parker.
that said he must have had some level of respect for ed parker and kenpo, or else he wouldnt have wasted his time. ive researched some of the so called "facts" you've stated and i cant seem to find where youre getting your information..that or i cant find them from any notable/verifiable source..
and watch you'll spew out more fiction senseless insults in response right? youre oh so predictable you know that?
@44excalibur Like I said, the video we are commenting on is an American Kenpo video. This is what we are suppossed to be discussing here.
If you read my other comments, I think that the Kosho Ryu system is just as crappy as American Kenpo. Their practice method is very similar and the instructors I've sparred are just as defficient as any other American Kenpo instructor.
@nerdswers And like you said, you have never trained in the Kosho Ryu or Kara Ho Kenpo and couldn't speak for them, yet now you are saying that Kosho Ryu is just as crappy as American Kenpo based on your so-called observations. Kosho Ryu was originally called Kenpo Jiu-Jitsu sir, and contained many of the grappling and groundfighting techniques found in Judo and Jujutsu that Ed Parker removed from his system. Your dementia is showing.
@44excalibur I would never train in Kosho Ryu. It is not uncommon to see Kosho Ryu instructors with 6, 7 and 8 degree black belts who can't defend themselves against a beginner mma figther.
Kosho Ryu DOES NOT use jiu jitsu for groundfighting. They mainly use it for transitions (some basic joint locks) to support their striking techniques. I know this for a fact from my sparring, not just from theory and staying within the safety of a Kosho Ryu mcdojo.
@nerdswers Uhh, I never mentioned Bruce Lee or JKD in my comments, I only spoke of William Chow, James Mitose, Chuck Lidell and Chuck Norris. I'm not taking anything out of context, you're making things up.
@44excalibur I NEVER said I was an instructor? Where did you get that? Is this another one of your tricks? Not only do you take things out of context, you also invent some stuff to justify yourself. that is AWESOME!
@nerdswers I never said that you never said you were an instructor. I think your English needs work. I said you didn't mention at first that you sparred against Kosho Ryu instructors and then later on you did. You originally said you couldn't speak for the Kosho Ryu and Kara ho systems having never practised them. I think you're the one inventing stuff. But English isn't your first language, is it?
@44excalibur LMAO!! You must be a real dumbass... I said that I've never practiced Kosho Ryu or Kara Ho. I've sparred Kosho Ryu instructors. There is absolutely no contradiction there. Find someone to read the thread for you and explain it for you... I speak multiple languages, which is one more thing you can't do. Once again, you are avoiding a direct conversation about kenpo because you have no arguments... keep going changing the topic and making a total fool of yourself. I enjoy that!
@nerdswers Sorry nerd, but you just outright lied. You claimed that I said you weren't an instructor which I never did. I In your first post you said you never practiced those systems and only in your second post did you mention you sparred against Kosho Ryu instructors. Seems to me you would've mentioned that in your first post. th only one making a fool of himself is you, going from one youtube vid to another acting like a crazy fanatic.
he'll talk himself in circle, but will never support an argument with concrete evidence other than what he considers to be his "expert opinion".
on top of that when he starts to lose ground, he'll resort to very poorly thought out and unfounded personal insults. he's what you'd refer to as a "troll"
youre wasting your time arguing with someone that has no idea what their talking about
@mrtle5 Tell 44excalibur that you are one of my groupies who follow me from one video to the next. Ask him to read your threads on other videos so he knows that you are one messed up kid.
keep firing off insults, keep spewing out erroneous information and keep making assumptions concerning things which you have no knowledge or understanding of...oh and concerning your comments to 44excalibur...it's not psychiatry it's actually psychology. psychiatry actually falls under the medical field and actually deals with fmri's and prescribing psychiatric medications. yet another thing you know nothing about and yet you act like you do..
@mrtle5 you are like that little piece of shit that gets stuck on the bottom of your shoe... very hard to get rid off.
By the way, it is pretty late for you... you should be in bed so you can attend junior high tomorrow. Stop using your daddy's PC to go on YouTube when you should be trying to pass your arithmetic class.
wrong again so you resort too poorly founded insults
how funny and you make comments about my age without knowing my age
and regardless of my age im more mature than you because im not some ethnocentric bigot who rampages across youtube videos hoping to get a reaction by making erroneous allegations against things which you know absolutely nothing about, in a piteous attempt to bring meaning to your miserable existence.
@nerdswers oh now youre going back to that. i believe i've already told you..is your memory fading?..i know how that happens to older people such as yourself
you're the one that replied to my comment on this video if you didnt want to talk you shouldnt have replied. and the other video is merely a coincidence as i was simply watching videos in the "related" toolbar.
so anyway according to you im only 15 and youre 41 and yet ive proven to be more mature and more capable of defending myself with more than just baseless insults.
this is sad and i truly pity you. i feel very sorry for you. i never thought i'd feel sorry for you but i do...i've already made an ass out of you enough as it is ill feel bad if i keep going..i apologize but i've wasted enough time on you...please get some help. later
@nerdswers you clearly have some unresolved issues and you clearly need help...
a lot of help..you should seek out a psychologist and work to resolve what ever issues you may have rather than making yourself look stupid on a youtube comment board...and if im only 15, tell me how does it feel to have a 15 year old make you look like an idiot? how does it feel to know that a 15 year old is more mature than you?
I'll be here tomorrow... please look me up and I'll keep you entertained. But please, don't blame me if you flunk that arithmetic class for the 5th time!
@nerdswers at least i have more to say than baseless insults.
youre truly more and more pitiful with every comment..youre attempting to form insults by clinging to anything you...unfortunately for you what you're clinging to isnt really anything that can be made into an adequate insult. that said youre defenseless...that said i dont like picking on defenseless people, so i hope that you can get help...youre not too old yet you still have time.
@mrtle5 Bye groupie... I hope your daddy takes you to Santa Maria to see your girlfriend soon. Tell her that you are my groupie and that you piss off core kids because "you can"... haha!
Take care groupie! Give your girlfriend a kiss.. on the cheek, of course. You are not old enough yet.
@mrtle5 Oh believe me, I've seen his pathetic kind all over youtube before, and the more he talks, the deeper a hole he puts himself in. He's already indicted himself with his own words and anyone who sees them can tell what kind of an insane person he is. He's just an insecure person who must rant in as many vids as he can to give his life meaning. He's also a liar.
@mrtle5 For every static demo you see in my page, there are at least 10 other videos of the VERY same technique been used against a resisting opponent... obviously, this is something you CAN'T say about kenpo.
Now, kenpoists lead all other martial arts at one thing... You guys have the biggest number of Shopping Mall exhibitions in the history of martial arts... I'd say you have more exhibitions than ALL other martial arts combined.
@kenpolane Here we go, another e-Kenpo fighter! Now that you are inviting me to a fight, I'm even more convinced that you train at a McDojo. Who the hell would invite a random guy to a fight... that is not brave, that is plain STUPID!
You say you would raise the cash for my trip... this is another BULLSHIT story! It is not the first time I get this shit and guys like you NEVER show up.
@kenpolane The practitioner makes a difference based on the tools he is given. When the toolsets are equal, the practitioner makes all the difference. However, when the toolsets are so disparate, the toolsets make a huge difference. It is like asking a kali fighter (with a knife) to fight a soldier (with a machine gun) in an open field. Who would you say wins? I put my money on the machine gun, even if he happens to be a fatty kenpo instructor!

I'm really interested in learning kenpo. Does anyone here who knows what the heck they are talking about have any advice? it seems like half the people on youtube just like to say negative things for the hell of it so please don't waist my time with bullshit. I am very serious about my martial arts and expect the same from you. The reason i am thinking of learning kenpo is because of the fast paced, precise striking. I feel like it would suit my fighting style well.Thanks for reading.

The guy who thinks that being a mma fighter makes him a worthy opponent to a true Kenpo fighter in a street fight will certainly be killed quicker than u can say mma. My sensei was taught by Master Larry Tatum, who is a direct link to Grand Master Ed Parker. I respect all arts and styles and for u to think that Kenpo is a joke u are sadly mistaken. I hope with th

Hey reality check here boys. I studied kenpo for 15 years and trained with ED before he died many years ago have made the transition to MMA. .MMA is the real deal. Its as close to all out real fighting as there is.I have trained in many martial arts over the years and all those combos you see in all types of fighting arts dont work in real life because in real life the opponent actually MOVES AND HITS BACK WITH SPEED. All these moves are just training techs.

@xxhotsexymamaxx: Reality check huh? According to your profile you're 24 which means 1: GM Parker passed away when you were four years old and 2: GM Parker didn't teach three year olds EPAK, he wasn't running a McDojo. Based off of that lie as well as your ignorance of EPAK Technique it's safe to say the extent of your MA training is watching the UFC and youtube videos.

Part 1)
MMA largely misleads its audiences. MMA prevents martials arts fighters, like Kenpo practitioners, from using moves that are meant to severely injure, or kill, as a result, you get fighters who are largely stuck with restrictive wrestling rules, and those moves, period. The true martial artist has been defanged and declawed by those rules. Therefore, you are not seeing true demonstrations of the power of martial arts, and just how dangerous, and deadly, it can be.

Part 3)
I have had an idea on how...best to do it, so that these competitions are balanced, to best determine whom the best fighter is in a given bout, based upon both fighters' skill sets, speed, power, conditioning, and opportunities, as presented by their opponents. Since, however, I am not being paid, I am not going to help other people get rich as I play witness to my ideas being used in that effort. I'll simply say that the fights need to be drastically restructured, and reimagined.
Swagaization 1 year ago 2
Part 2)
MMA does not allow many moves, even in wrestling, that would go to a martial artist's advantage in a fight. Kenpo is meant for one purpose, self defense--which means maiming, or killing your opponent...with brute force. MMA, with good reason does not wish to allow certain fighting techniques for fear of serious injury to combatants, that said, they need to change the rules, so the competitions are less wrestling heavy, since martial artists are not allowed to use their full skills.

@1333Hannibal1 You nailed it. However, be proud to know that in the age of "everyone wears a tap out shirt and wants to train MMA," that Mr. Parker was light years away from most if not all arts (I would add that Kali is a close cousin, as well as some Krav Maga, and kajukenbo depending on how "tight" the instructor is). Most martial artists who even see kenpo on youtube dismiss it as a slap art or something that makes no sense. Kenpo is chess in a world of checkers.

Interesting. Looks like Parker was already starting to incorporate some kali he'd been shown by his friend and close associate dan Inosanto. What people don't know is that Bruce Lee actually was under Parker's guidance until Parker told him he should work more closely with Inosanto because of Lee's filipono/asian heritage and roots. Parker is one of the reasons JKD was developed, pretty crazy huh?! hehe
HermannTheGreat 1 year ago
@HermannTheGreat Don't link JKD with Kenpo. In fact, Bruce Lee referred to kenpo's way of training as "dry swimming"... that was so because kenpoists trained with static ukes and were not able to employ their techniques in a lively sparring or training situation against a resisting opponent.
nerdswers 1 year ago
@nerdswers Sorry nerdswers that you're clueless about the history of bruce lee and JKD. Lee was an actor and psuedo-philosopher, nothing more. The only reason JKD is even around is because Parker introduced him to Inosanto and told Inosanto to work with him.

@HermannTheGreat Well, that is not what Inosanto says. Look it up! Inosanto says he was a direct student of Bruce Lee and he talks about JF-JKD to refer to the original JKD taught by Bruce Lee.

44excalibur 1 year ago
@44excalibur I'll keep educating people about how useless kenpo is... if you have seen my postings, I'm sure others have as well. I have nothing against styles that train realistically, but kenpo is just a waste of time. I never practiced Kara Ho Kempo or Koshoy Ryu Kenpo with the Mitose's so I can't speak from experience (like I do with American Kenpo). But if the net product available today is any reflection of what they originated, I'd put those systems in the same bucket as American Kenpo.
nerdswers 1 year ago
@nerdswers Well then you are judging styles without knowing anything about them, which isn't very educational. If you did your research you would know that Parker changed 90% of what Kenpo was under the Mitose/Chow lineage, so perhaps you should educate yourself in some history. And I'm sorry, but if you want to educate people start your own class, because anyone who obsessively posts negative comments on youtube with as much frequency as you do has issues. Youtube warriors don't impress anyone.
44excalibur 1 year ago
@44excalibur You probably don't know how to read... I said I could not speak for Mitose's styles because I had not practiced those styles. I have practiced American Kenpo and I'm familiar with the crap Parker produced. It seems that the 90% he changed was to eliminate what worked in Mitose's systems.
nerdswers 1 year ago
@nerdswers One more thing... you guys are so much into history, developing fighting theories and trying to regurgitate the incorrect physics lessons from your fat instructors that you forget to spend more time sparring and using your techniques against resisting opponents. So much so, that many kenpoists have had to take bjj, boxing, kickboxing and wrestling to start learning how to fight.
nerdswers 1 year ago
@nerdswers I know how to read. Your exact words were "But if the net product available today is any reflection of what they originated, I'd put those systems in the same bucket as American Kenpo". That's being very judgemental about styles you haven't practiced. And accusing me of not knowing how to read just shows how much pent up anger and emotional issues you seem to have when you must always react with such hostility. And Wiliam Chow didn't get the name "Thunderbolt" by being fat.
44excalibur 1 year ago
@44excalibur Then you can't understand what you read...I'm speaking about whatever part of Mitose's system that remains today. I can do that because I've witnessed today's Kosho Ryu's practice style, and more importantly, I've sparred Koshy Ryu instructors.Good try taking a phrase from my post and taking it out of context.
Today's Kenpo system doesn't work against resisting opponents and there is ample evidence of that.

@nerdswers When you say "Today's" are you referring to American Kenpo, or the Kara Ho or Kosho Ryu systems? You stated earlier that you never practiced those styles and couldn't speak for them. Now you say you've sparred against Kosho Ryu instructors, which you didn't say before. I'm not taking anything out of context, you are simply contradicting yourself and ranting like you seem to do on every vid you go to, which again implies you have psychological issues.

@nerdswers And based on your "WITNESSING" you are making assumptions about styles you never practiced. Your bias seems aimed at Parker's system. I am hardly dumb, sir. You waste an awuful lotofo youtube space "educating" people on what you perceive to be American Kenpo's weakesses, but you're really just using that as an excuse to vent your own frustrations and idiosyncrasies which no competent instructor would do. As I said, seek psychological help.
44excalibur 1 year ago
@44excalibur I speak more strongly about Parker's system because I have practiced American Kenpo and, regrettably, I hold a brown belt in this crappy system.
Again, you have no argument about the topic at hand (kenpo). Instead you are trying to extract some selected phrases out of context. I understand you have no arguments to proof that kenpo works against resisting opponents, but going from there to try to evaluate me phsychologically is totally absurd and dumb.

@nerdswers yet here you are, constantly exacting revenge on the Parker system, venting your criticisms aginst it. Why? Do you see the Gracies or the Machado's doing this? Would Chuck Norris applaud this type of behavior? And try telling UFC Kenpo expert Chuck Lidell that his style doesn't work. He trains in Hawaiian Kenpo and it works for him. It's not absurd and dumb to point out that you have emotional problems that lead to obsessive compulsive behavior such as the kind you exhibit on youtube.
44excalibur 1 year ago
@44excalibur You still can't understand? Haha! The Gracies went a step further and went on to kick a kenpo instructor's ass in public just to prove the point I'm trying to help you understand. Chuck Lidell also played baseball...Do you think baseball helps him in the cage today?Just find a single kenpo technique in any of Chuck's fight and then you can use that as proof that kenpo works.Otherwise,it's like saying that his baseball experience also helped him be a better MMA figther.
nerdswers 1 year ago
@nerdswers baseball? That's your arguement? I told you, go up to Chuck Lidell and engage him in an arguement about his style of Kenpo(or Kempo as he calls it) and see how many teeth you might have to replace afterwards. have a nice day. =)

However, even Bruce ventured to spar and his system can be used against resisting opponents. Bruce said that practice with static ukes was like "dry swimming"... that is what kenpo is.

@nerdswers Again, you are basing your opinions on AMERICAN Kenpo. There are many other types of Kenpo ou there, including the Kara ho and Kosho ryu and Shorinji Kempo systems that you cannot compare to the Parker systems. And the Gracies tested their styles agains a wide variety of systems, not just Kenpo, but even they know you need a good stand up game as well.

Like I said, you react with such hostility and have such and obsessive-compulsive desire to rant about Parker's system, that it says a lot more about your psychological state than it does about Kenpo.

@44excalibur I knew you would love the comment about the origins of your obsession about psychology. Anyone reading the thread below would know how out of place your comments are given that I've been discussing American Kenpo all the time given that this is an American Kenpo video.
I'll state it here again for you... I've sparred Kosho Ryu instructors and they SUCK. They are not just instructors, they are 6, 7 and 8th degree black belts. They simply suck.
nerdswers 1 year ago
@nerdswers Sorry, but there are no origins and the only one obsessed here is you. I have no personal experience with incest or child rape, but any person need not have those to be disgusted with the comments you made. any normal clear-thinking person could see you for the digusting person you are. And I have nothing but your say so as to your experience, so unles you have some vids of yourself to upload, keep talking to yourself.

@44excalibur In fact, you are starting to sound pretty gay now...

@nerdswers And now you make homophobic slurs? you're racking them up nerd guy. like i said, with every word you say you are proving yourself a degenerate.
44excalibur 1 year ago
@44excalibur You are SO GAY! Every word you say tells me you are just plain GAY.
nerdswers 1 year ago
@nerdswers And you are a liar, a coward and a degenerate who has no proof of any of your claims. First you say you have never studied Kosho Ryu and Kara Ho and can't speak for them, then a little later you claim to have sparred Kosho Ryu blackbelts and say they suck. Get your story straight. You say you are "educating" people, yet you only have vids fav'd of other people doing things, but none of your own. That's because you have no vids to show and none of the experience you claim to have.
44excalibur 1 year ago
@44excalibur By this I understand that you only practice a single art without ever venturing to spar outside of your mcdojo. Otherwise you would understand that you can spar anyone without having to practice their styles. If that wasn't the case, there would be no UFC today. You are a moron.

@nerdswers If you had any proof of your so called fight experience you would have uploaded it by now, but you don't, you just watch what other people have done and act like an armchair martial artist to make up for your inadequacies. With every word you say on every vid you go to on youtube, you prove yourself to anyone who can see your posts to be an angry, bitter, insecure and emotionally distrubed individual who need not back up his boasts with proof, but rather hides behind his username.

@nerdswers oh and i didnt follow you to this video at this point in time.
you replied to my comment and i followed suite and replied to you
and if im "messed up" what does that make you? youre some extremist that goes from video to video talking shit, to anyone and everyone, making poorly founded insults and making assumptions that are even more poorly founded than your insults...all for what? to feel a false sense of accomplishment? you shouldnt be talking...

@nerdswers And spare me the Gracie infomercial. I am well aware of how Mitsuyo Maeda brought Kodokan Judo to Brazil which became BJJ. I am also aware that when the Gracies went to Japan to challenge the masters they got their asses kicked, from Helio down to "steroid" Royce. I doubt you have ever fought anyone other then Parker Kenpo practitioners when you supposedly got your brown belt and sucked at it, and now spend your life ranting about it on youtube.
44excalibur 1 year ago
@44excalibur At least I spar... you can't say the same.
nerdswers 1 year ago
@nerdswers I could care les about the Parker system, but I do know that anyone who sepnds as much time as you do on the internet going from one vid to the next has little time to be doing the fighting and training you claim to do, which is why you have no vids uploaded of you doing them. Again, you lie and contradict yourself, and have no argument of proof to back up your insane rants. And you obviously have a quite perverted mentality from some of the things you said.
44excalibur 1 year ago
@44excalibur You are repeating yourself like a broken record... It is clear you have no arguments other than playing the gay psychiatrist
nerdswers 1 year ago
@nerdswers You will obviously reply with one of your nosensical rants with no proof to back them up, just a youtube channel filled with favorited vids of people doing the things you only watch, and no one could care less about what you say because you have been exposed for the fraud and the poseur that you are; a wannabe who only has a blackbelt in youtube ranting. Enjoy the rest of your sad, delusional existence, and pray you never meet Chuck Lidell face to face or you won't have one left.

@44excalibur I'm very afraid of meeting Chuck... You probably want to date him.

@nerdswers and you do realize that bruce lee learned and studied with ed parker.
that said he must have had some level of respect for ed parker and kenpo, or else he wouldnt have wasted his time. ive researched some of the so called "facts" you've stated and i cant seem to find where youre getting your information..that or i cant find them from any notable/verifiable source..
and watch you'll spew out more fiction senseless insults in response right? youre oh so predictable you know that?
mrtle5 1 year ago
@44excalibur Freud has a great explanation for your obsession with psychology... you'd be surprised! LMAO!
Since we can't talk facts about kenpo, I'll stop replying to your stupid psychological analysis remarks. Have fun with your Freudian phalic objects!!
nerdswers 1 year ago
@44excalibur Like I said, the video we are commenting on is an American Kenpo video. This is what we are suppossed to be discussing here.
If you read my other comments, I think that the Kosho Ryu system is just as crappy as American Kenpo. Their practice method is very similar and the instructors I've sparred are just as defficient as any other American Kenpo instructor.
nerdswers 1 year ago
@nerdswers And like you said, you have never trained in the Kosho Ryu or Kara Ho Kenpo and couldn't speak for them, yet now you are saying that Kosho Ryu is just as crappy as American Kenpo based on your so-called observations. Kosho Ryu was originally called Kenpo Jiu-Jitsu sir, and contained many of the grappling and groundfighting techniques found in Judo and Jujutsu that Ed Parker removed from his system. Your dementia is showing.
44excalibur 1 year ago
@44excalibur I would never train in Kosho Ryu. It is not uncommon to see Kosho Ryu instructors with 6, 7 and 8 degree black belts who can't defend themselves against a beginner mma figther.
Kosho Ryu DOES NOT use jiu jitsu for groundfighting. They mainly use it for transitions (some basic joint locks) to support their striking techniques. I know this for a fact from my sparring, not just from theory and staying within the safety of a Kosho Ryu mcdojo.
nerdswers 1 year ago
@nerdswers And I don't recall ever mentoining Bruce Lee in my post at all, by the way
44excalibur 1 year ago
@44excalibur You talked about JKD and Bruce Lee is the founder so I thought I'd share some key facts before you take everything out of context again.
nerdswers 1 year ago
@nerdswers Uhh, I never mentioned Bruce Lee or JKD in my comments, I only spoke of William Chow, James Mitose, Chuck Lidell and Chuck Norris. I'm not taking anything out of context, you're making things up.

@44excalibur I NEVER said I was an instructor? Where did you get that? Is this another one of your tricks? Not only do you take things out of context, you also invent some stuff to justify yourself. that is AWESOME!
nerdswers 1 year ago
@nerdswers I never said that you never said you were an instructor. I think your English needs work. I said you didn't mention at first that you sparred against Kosho Ryu instructors and then later on you did. You originally said you couldn't speak for the Kosho Ryu and Kara ho systems having never practised them. I think you're the one inventing stuff. But English isn't your first language, is it?
44excalibur 1 year ago
@44excalibur LMAO!! You must be a real dumbass... I said that I've never practiced Kosho Ryu or Kara Ho. I've sparred Kosho Ryu instructors. There is absolutely no contradiction there. Find someone to read the thread for you and explain it for you... I speak multiple languages, which is one more thing you can't do. Once again, you are avoiding a direct conversation about kenpo because you have no arguments... keep going changing the topic and making a total fool of yourself. I enjoy that!
nerdswers 1 year ago
@nerdswers Sorry nerd, but you just outright lied. You claimed that I said you weren't an instructor which I never did. I In your first post you said you never practiced those systems and only in your second post did you mention you sparred against Kosho Ryu instructors. Seems to me you would've mentioned that in your first post. th only one making a fool of himself is you, going from one youtube vid to another acting like a crazy fanatic.

@44excalibur dont bother with "nerdswers"
he'll talk himself in circle, but will never support an argument with concrete evidence other than what he considers to be his "expert opinion".
on top of that when he starts to lose ground, he'll resort to very poorly thought out and unfounded personal insults. he's what you'd refer to as a "troll"
youre wasting your time arguing with someone that has no idea what their talking about

@mrtle5 Tell 44excalibur that you are one of my groupies who follow me from one video to the next. Ask him to read your threads on other videos so he knows that you are one messed up kid.

@nerdswers predictable as always.
keep firing off insults, keep spewing out erroneous information and keep making assumptions concerning things which you have no knowledge or understanding of...oh and concerning your comments to 44excalibur...it's not psychiatry it's actually psychology. psychiatry actually falls under the medical field and actually deals with fmri's and prescribing psychiatric medications. yet another thing you know nothing about and yet you act like you do..

@mrtle5 you are like that little piece of shit that gets stuck on the bottom of your shoe... very hard to get rid off.
By the way, it is pretty late for you... you should be in bed so you can attend junior high tomorrow. Stop using your daddy's PC to go on YouTube when you should be trying to pass your arithmetic class.
nerdswers 1 year ago
@nerdswers aw there you go again :)
wrong again so you resort too poorly founded insults
how funny and you make comments about my age without knowing my age
and regardless of my age im more mature than you because im not some ethnocentric bigot who rampages across youtube videos hoping to get a reaction by making erroneous allegations against things which you know absolutely nothing about, in a piteous attempt to bring meaning to your miserable existence.

@mrtle5 It is obvious you are at the most 15 years old. I can tell from your empty comments.
nerdswers 1 year ago
@nerdswers my empty comments?
take a look at yours you havent once provided an adequate response
for anything ive said...and your only response is either a lie
or an empty insult with nothing to back it(in other words a lie)...once again you've proven to be predictable and youre
just making yourself look like more of an idiot with each comment as you keep cant even manage to properly defend yourself on a youtube comment board
i feel bad for you, you're truly a sad excuse of a human being...

@mrtle5 I'll Coming from you, I'll take that as a compliment!

@nerdswers aw now look youre trying to be more mature than me by embracing my insults.
now i simply pity you. again with the age comments
and yet i've proven to be more mature than you

i feel sorry for you.
i really do.

you're the one that replied to my comment on this video if you didnt want to talk you shouldnt have replied. and the other video is merely a coincidence as i was simply watching videos in the "related" toolbar.

so anyway according to you im only 15 and youre 41 and yet ive proven to be more mature and more capable of defending myself with more than just baseless insults.
this is sad and i truly pity you. i feel very sorry for you. i never thought i'd feel sorry for you but i do...i've already made an ass out of you enough as it is ill feel bad if i keep going..i apologize but i've wasted enough time on you...please get some help. later

@mrtle5 Thank you groupie...
"i frequently visit santa maria to see my girlfriend". "i love her". You have a very tender heart groupie.

@mrtle5 What would you say about someone who writes the following on his/her profile?
"i frequently visit santa maria to see my girlfriend. i love her. oh yeah i troll
i love pissing off "core" kids...why? because i can "
Isn't this something a 15 yr old would write?
I hope your daddy set the parental controls on that PC of yours... you are a bad child! And dumb too.

@nerdswers you clearly have some unresolved issues and you clearly need help...
a lot of help..you should seek out a psychologist and work to resolve what ever issues you may have rather than making yourself look stupid on a youtube comment board...and if im only 15, tell me how does it feel to have a 15 year old make you look like an idiot? how does it feel to know that a 15 year old is more mature than you?

isnt that a 15 year old feels sorry for you?
youre a sad middle aged man with nothing to show for his life other than a few baseless insults on a youtube comment board.

@nerdswers still attempting to "use" groupie as an insult?
you replied to me. and i seem to recall talking you on only one other video.
that's hardly "following" and again more baseless insults
at least what im saying is supported by your own idiotic behavior
unlike you who has to come up with insults which are really irrelevant and as about as far from the truth as can be.
this is too easy as i really dont have to say much..youre making yourself look stupid on your own
mrtle5 1 year ago
@mrtle5 its clear you don't have much to say... you said that in your own profile. "Eh, I don't have much to say..." haha!
Listen groupie, I have posts on other videos... look me up and I'll sign an autograph for you.
nerdswers 1 year ago
@nerdswers at least i have more to say than baseless insults.
youre truly more and more pitiful with every comment..youre attempting to form insults by clinging to anything you...unfortunately for you what you're clinging to isnt really anything that can be made into an adequate insult. that said youre defenseless...that said i dont like picking on defenseless people, so i hope that you can get help...youre not too old yet you still have time.
best of luck :). bye now.

@mrtle5 Bye groupie... I hope your daddy takes you to Santa Maria to see your girlfriend soon. Tell her that you are my groupie and that you piss off core kids because "you can"... haha!

@mrtle5 Oh believe me, I've seen his pathetic kind all over youtube before, and the more he talks, the deeper a hole he puts himself in. He's already indicted himself with his own words and anyone who sees them can tell what kind of an insane person he is. He's just an insecure person who must rant in as many vids as he can to give his life meaning. He's also a liar.

@mrtle5 For every static demo you see in my page, there are at least 10 other videos of the VERY same technique been used against a resisting opponent... obviously, this is something you CAN'T say about kenpo.
Now, kenpoists lead all other martial arts at one thing... You guys have the biggest number of Shopping Mall exhibitions in the history of martial arts... I'd say you have more exhibitions than ALL other martial arts combined.

@kenpolane The practitioner makes a difference based on the tools he is given. When the toolsets are equal, the practitioner makes all the difference. However, when the toolsets are so disparate, the toolsets make a huge difference. It is like asking a kali fighter (with a knife) to fight a soldier (with a machine gun) in an open field. Who would you say wins? I put my money on the machine gun, even if he happens to be a fatty kenpo instructor!
