RedCloud - "When Kenpo Strikes"

[Cannabis919]

American Kenpo shown like it should be with that gorgeous flag in the background. 

[crewifyable]

DUDE, this almost got me into kenpo, but i joined wing chun. I LOVE THIS SONG. It makes you wanna bob your head like in the video! XD

[gympz01]

i was lucky enough to see RedCloud live at camp one year and hes has some awesome free style as well he went from a reeces wrapper to a comb haha no problem flow was sick

[charliekkendo]

To me this is one of the best vids out there that shows the true spirit of the martial arts, certainly of American karate.

[smokeweeeeeeeeed]

this guy does it all he paints graff does kenpo and raps ahahahhahaha

[jkenpo6]

I'm not a rapper, but I love your contribution to the art, thanks so much. JD 7th degree kenpo

[EpicKilla1997]

I'd like to learn this but sadly no one knows "kenpo" where i'm from

[hendrixglide]

The Master, Ed Parker, would roll over in his grave. Bad form & kicking above the waist. An obvious display of dramatized perverted Kenpo.

[juggalodubstep]

@hendrixglide I remember when i showed Senior grand master of the arts Frank Trejo this he just laughed

[BillClemensdotcom]

@juggalodubstep Frank is a good friend of mine, we hang out every time he comes out to NJ. Ask him about his killer salsa, and I mean KILLER! He is a great guy.

[mrpib636]

i do kenpo and im only 12 got my blue belt and i go to kenpo in md but kenpo is the best fightijg style ive ever seen live on spirit grand master ed parker

[crosby115]

[AlfredNonymousTV]

[MrDeFTesla]

NATIVE ARTIST REPRESENT!

[NDNWARRIOR918]

i effin love this song, red cloud makes me proud to be a native american so do all the other native american rappers

[mcldub]

So sick.

[knottytrevor]

God this brings back memories.

"you and who? him and them? line in a single file, all for one, one for all, end up in a bigger pile"

[MediumSizedCrane]

My heads still bobin, your the new King Red Cloud!

[MrFatass55]

Red cloud is badass!!

[miamichick305ify]

wat a stupid song

[samuelfisher1]

Kid1111111, Its "Kenpo" with an "n" not "Kempo" with an "m".

[ooxodexoo]

@samuelfisher1

actually, i think it's "typo"

[kid1111111]

why are they using a wing chun dummy for kempo?

[DragonsinYukio]

had this song pop in my head at the random the other day after not hearing it for a very long time....classic lol

[BADGERMEATify]

ever notice how dirt was in everyone else's videos

[JerkFaceVocals]

damn i love this song! Really makes me wish the EKP system of kenpo was more wide spread in the US. Gotta get a few more schools in texas and any school in arkansas would be worth the drive!

[SoopaSlick]

Does this guy kenpo fight???

[cabrillo6960]

about time great song for all us artists

[Bracey100]

I havent done kenpo in years but damn that song makes me wish there was a school for kenpo nearby. Badass video and song man...and nice hand speed on your part as well.

[pleasmod]

i can rap any song i hear exept this

[bigjohnsoles]

Solid raps! Practicing kenpo for a few years now. this song is very motivational to all kenpo practioners. Salute!!KIYAH!!!

[olympicsnow]

I love both this song and this video. "Embrace the King!"

Too bad I didn't know about this video, or I would have trained

and tried out for it.

Red Cloud probably would have liked to have the 'Kempo Cat'

with two of the fastest hands in the world in one of the shots.

Thank You Red Cloud. I play this video everyday when I train

for Bruce Lee speed.

"Embrace the King"

[kodran08]

Thanks for this awesome song. Someone have the lyric??? or know a web with it? please let me know, send me a message please!!!

rei!

[crazion04]

RedCloud always owns!

[mmolina7325]

Its no wonder why 3rd world countries hate us.Lets stick to old school martial art drumming.

[shari71289]

LOVE REDCLOUD!! EVERYONE, GO LISTEN TO HIS SONG/VIDEO "TAPATIO"

[jazpernf]

[godinezcrew]

Sensei REDCLOUD you're the best!!!!

[brucenatelee]

I'm more self taught (think freestyle/jeetkunedo) with some practice from karate and bando, but read books from taekwondo, wing chun, and BJJ. How many big guys can teach themself a spinning hook kick?

[MartialArtistGuy1981]

Awesome vid ! I study wing chun kung fu but I love this vid as kenpo is very shaolin influenced and even has some wing chun in it at a certain point. I would love to learn this style also. Great stuff!

[lovinthosetunes]

[Loyal2law]

It's a rarity to have a song dedicated to martial arts, even to just one discipline. This originality, combined w/ a good message, clean language & good tune, this is definitely a fave XD!

[tommiesmallz]

Jinlong Kenpo For Life

[funwanting1]

[BizzyLizzy132]

My brother does Kenpo...he is a Shihan.

[rcconstuction]

[koolgool]

I don't like rap, but I like this. xB This group makes me mad because I can't say I hate all rap anymore.

[TrashMetal25]

the chorus sounds alot like eminem,

and i mean that in a good way,

doesnt it seem like that to anyone?

[Hakushien]

I thought so too

[tommiesmallz]

Sounds Like A more popy twizdid chorus to me but i can see where your coming from

[iwanttofight69]

[SamoanWarrior02]

Is this the result of someone getting bored and then getting high before 'composing' a song?? Geezz...

[majin2912]

not nuts about the song but I like what it espouses.

[0neWhoWalks]

Great combination with music lyrics action and humor!

[cortneyconley]

[davidemil5]

yepp kenpos real

[PrinceOfAztecs22]

Muay thai Owns!!

[ShastaHawk]

If you knew anything about the martial arts, you wouldnt have said that.

Any REAL martial artist can tell you that it's the man that makes the art great, not the other way around

Personnally, I study Kenpo (7 years) AND Muay Thai (5 years) and I find that they compliment eacch other very well

[aaron2pruitt]

very true. ive doen 1 year of tkd. and 2 years of boxing and working my way on two years of shaolin choy lee fut. and ive fought alot in streets and in sparring. the style can only improve your tecknique. the rest depends on your natural level. if you have a low level in fighting dont expect to be the greatest fighter in the world. any style can help you just have to train hard. and kenpo is a great style i did it for six months. at moores martial arts. very hard work

[Ownkaratekid]

so you did Moores shou shu

[aaron2pruitt]

yeah i did, why do u ask

[THERMOPHILE64]

mad song

[jls11111]

[YeZhik5]

This song got me head banging throughout the whole thing, and i'm a classical song listener, better than other rap and hip hop i've heard

[skateintheblack23]

[XaerousCorpus]

kenpo originally comes from china

[KaratePrincessa101]

Sorry to correct you but it comes from Japan then it move to china then back to japan and soon it was EVERYWHERE!

[KaratePrincessa101]

But he learned chinese kenpo it started from japan the went to china

[TaeIeon]

soft man ;)

[soulstuckinseth]

Red Cloud is Sick!

[FootballKingSA]

dam the lead singer has a kick ass voice

[streeteffective]

This is classic.

The lead singer looks like a laid back cat.

[joejonaslover042]

i saw red cloud at church hes so kool

[Krejtaz]

I dont know what every1 say, but i know i train SHORINJI KEMPO, and not kenpo, This says "Kenpo karate". But there is shorinji kempo to, who is kinda different from karate.

[Th1mastermike]

There's alot of different styles of kenpo. The one depicted here is American kenpo. There's also Chinese kenpo, tracy kenpo and quite a few others

[Krejtaz]

ye, and then there is shorinji kempo from japan :P

[femstore]

no, shorinji kempo is different from american kenpo, not same rules, not same principles, not similar kenpo

[Krejtaz]

yes i know, that's what i said in my first comment, but it looks like some ppls are mixing kempo and kenpo

[frankz8919]

@Krejtaz kempo and kenpo are the same just a miss translation that happened a long time ago.

[skateintheblack23]

thats chinese kenpo haha he had a chinese flag next to a usa flag on his suit hahaha

[skateintheblack23]

kenpo is kempo :P

[SyntaxRecords]

Kenpō is the name of several martial arts. The word kenpō is a Japanese translation of the Chinese word "quánfǎ. This term is often informally transliterated as "kempo," as a result of applying Traditional Hepburn romanization (which provides for use of the letter "m" when ん precedes a labial consonant such as "p"), failing to use a macron to indicate the long vowel. The generic nature of the term combined with its widespread adoption in the martial arts community led to many definitions.

[vanillagrrilla]

That is why he mentions for different fighting styles.

[mungrus]

Just bad mouthing tae quan do, I dont blame him though a good kenpo karate artist would take out any tae quan do person

[damianhk]

great song and great martial arts

[snake5000ca]

viva american kenpo no1 the best martial in the world kyusho no2

[butaicho]
