@crlpompei full contact fighting is good in the ring but on the street what happens if anyone full contatct fighter gets kicked in the groin they will go down just watch some ufc fights they always go down if hit in the balls if a kenpo guy and a kickboxer fought in the ring the kickboxer would win but on the street the kenpo guy would win
im tired of hearing all of these naysayers talk about how kenpo is bullshit and that it doesnt work on the streets. First of all kenpo is the art of street fighting. Ed Parker developed it to suit the needs of the fighting in his neighborhood. Let me tell you im only a green belt, but i have gotten into confrontations on the street and these techniques and principles of motion/power work to perfection. This system is awsome hands down
I love kenpo, i thinks its a great martial art, like they all are. All these people saying its shit or wouldnt work against a tkd guy or an mma guy or whatever, every martial art is only as good as the guy doing it, no one is better than the other. And if you really break them down and trace them back to their routes they all came from the same places anyway. Look for the similarties and embrace them not the differences stating ones better than another.
After earning my Black Belt in TAEKWONDO I didnt think I needed anything else, Then I competed against some guy's wearing Black gi's at a open tournament. Once they penitrated my kicks they ate me alive with thier hands. I knew I had to have some of that. I now am proud to say I now have my Black Belt in Chinese Kenpo now. Message to the doubters, Kenpo is as good with hands as TKD is with Kicks. Both styles are Awsome! Now it's time to move onto a BJJ Black Belt. Hope my comment inspires you!
@clearcombat We feast on those we kill. It doesn't really matter how buff or how out of shape you are, all that matters is you can actually do the techniques.
With all due respect to these practioners, I thought Ed Parker Kenpo system was not that effective and a waste of time. I got my brown belt in it, competed well against other kenpo guys, but when faced with an MMA guy i felt defenseless. Not saying it cannot be used effectively, and I know there are some practioners who are reall bad a%%es, but for the regular guy, who doesn't have 18 years to master it, I think they're are better options.
@TCCMAC I do understand where you're coming from, but when comparing Kenpo to other martial arts, such as MMA, people don't always realize that Kenpo was strictly designed for street fighting, not sport. That's why a Kenpo Black Belt would have a tough time fighting a MMA fighter in the ring, but put both into a street fighting with multiple opponents, weapons and environments and you would see where Kenpo (when done properly) works and something like MMA isn't as effective.
@itshughmurris I trained in it for yrs w/ 3 diff. instrs & I hear ur argument all the time - 'in a strt fight I would kill the guy,' but most Kenpo guys have never even sparred let alone gone full speed. Kenpo can b effective but too many guys don't test it. My pnt is this: Saying something will work, is not the same thing as it actually working. Test it against other fighters & at full speed. Try intercepting ram on an mma guy at full speed & c what happens. If ur still standing, BRAVO!
@TCCMAC My uncle Michael Teal was a Kenpo grandmaster. He was also an outlaw biker than got into street fights, literally, 2 or three times a week. Usually outnumbered.
He beat the shit out of everyone who ever stepped up to him.
Kenpo training v.s. untrained street fighter, Kenpo guy or girl wins every time.
It's not a martial art that's supposed to teach you to fight in the octagon, but in the real world.
@4cellar2door0 I think the keyword is "grandmaster." If he's a grandmaster, then i would hope he could kick everyone's ass. Seriously though, alot of Kenpo blue & brown belts i trained with thought they were such bad asses, & the truth was none of them had ever been in a fight & few of them had actually even sparred.
@mollybrhodes That is the fault of their own pride, arrogance, and ignorance.
I simply mean, well trained Kenpo fighters, who actually know what they're doing in terms of Kenpo, are very, VERY tough to beat up without training.
Yes, of course my Uncle is a special case, being a grandmaster. I am only a brown belt, but I have definitely sparred and been in quite a few fights. Still undefeated, still training, and still wise enough to know I'm not a "bad ass" like my uncle was lol.
@TCCMAC yeah i know what you mean, but with all due respect to people who practice MMA, i think most of them just got this killer instinct inside, their training is completly diferent than in a regular kenpo class, they really beat the hell out of each other, they bleed, they suffer and sometimes they die. I went to train with them a few times, first day they started to hit me as if they wanted me dead. They dont have any moral code or anything that makes a martial art a real ART, just hatred.
can somebody tell me what the movie is with ed parker in it on the clip in the epic kenpo compilation please been lookiing for this movie for a long time he is assassin in hawaii and has a fite seen very good movie. name is vinnielloyd
As many kenpo and other combat arts specialist know, the vast majority of actual street fights last only last a few seconds. Endurence is not a huge issue. Train POWER & SPEED. concern. Kenpo is also a never changing system; Ed Parker was working on ground techniques, but he died before he published anything(referenced from a few of Ed's students). There is a need to know how ground fighting works and how to get off the ground so you don't get choked or stomped on by the enemies buddies.
Kenpo techniques are made from a few key techniques and made to fit any thinkable situation with small altercations (to motion). Intermediate practitioners are supposed to go through a 'what if' stage were they can see and adapt to what happens (when somebody throws a kick instead of a punch or a punch with the other hand). This is were a great deal of the learning beggins. Than 'Formulation stage' is when you just react. Only after many years do most practioners experience this.
I have used kenpo in 2 or 3 times on the street, 1 or 2 against grapplers that would try to make a point, and have almost broke a couple arms and legs with strikes by people who said i couldn't and then ended up pissed cause I almost did (intentional almost). With no rules it works great. Kenpo is a warring art and is made to destroy ASAP. It does have many techniques and takes many years to develope it. Like a language and most effective when it becomes subconscious.
I am sure glad that i did not know that kenpo does not work when I was confronted with three young men who were all bigger then myself who were out of control. The Concepts and Principles of Kenpo kept me safe and not one strike hitting me, but three young men running from me. Hmmm! Kenpo does not work, Bull!
Look, I do Kenpo and if we used a real punch, chop, elbow strike on an partner, you would SERIOUSLY hurt them. Its not a "slapping" art, we use different strikes and how to coordinate them, aim for pressure points. If you understand Kenpo and how to use it, it is effective!
I've done TKD and it didn't focus on your own conditioning. Kenpo does, you know what its like to be hit in certain points. The Benefit of Kenpo is that it can be tailored to suit your height or whatever.
Just a reply to you allinthemix10 Kenpo does work my father's friend over his lifetime had been in 36 street fights and didn't lose a single one because he used kenpo. Also probably the only reason Joe Lewis said he should have studied american wrestling was probably because he SUCKED at kenpo. I have seen many great kenpoists in my lifetime including a 60 year old black belt who dropped a 6'3 200 pound guy with one kenpo technique.
@domination64 I train beginner MMA fighters and when they come to me and say they know Kenpo, I know it is going to be a long day. First off they tell me their moves are very deadly and would hurt any MMA fighter. My reply is good, go and spar that guy, he's about your size. 30 seconds later I am helping the kid up, because he forgot that MMA fighters know street fighting also. They make the adjustment by using spear hands, groin kicks along with chokes and hair pulls. Kenpo is not real combat
@clearcombat Kenpo is real combat, just not the sport combat everyone likes or the Hollywood combat everyone loves. It's meant for real life situations on the street where it's pretty much kill or be killed.
Why would anyone get involved in kenpo, when we all know it does not work. Even Joe Lewis got away from it. He new it was the dinosaur of American martial arts. He has stated several times in interviews that he should have studied American wrestling
@FutureUSMC12 Chuck beat Joe Lewis several times in tournaments. Pro fighters who studied Kenpo have not done very well in combat, except for Chuck Liddell. It is a very out dated fighting system. You should
learn a hibrid street system like Krav Maga, JKD, V-Force, Spear System, Progressive Fighting and
Clear Combat Fighting System. These are well mixed systems that have a strenght, conditioning and agility programs within thier system.
@allinthemix10 Of course we're going to have some shitty fighters, every style has them. My point is that Chuck knew that Kenpo is an effective martial art. It wasn't just the black gi like everyone says. Also, why focus your time on conditioning when you could be learning about 3 new techniques per group class? If you want to get in shape, do it on your own time.
@FutureUSMC12 More martial artist should learn less techniques and more conditioning around the techniques. Kenpo has too many techniques to learn. You should learn another style. In fact, go to any MMA camp and say you want to be a sparring partner for fighters in your weight class and see how fast you will be winded and wounded.
Classical martial artist often hide behind a cloak of invincibility.
@2869OU812 actually that "fatty" is Mohammad Tabatabai. he was a 5th degree under mr Parker. id say just about all kenpo big wigs have some bellies to them.
@madeku Omg, is it really? Shaved head? I have Mr Tabatabai's technique vids, and did not recognize him one bit. Probably should have used a more impressive clip of him, imo.
There's a lot more kenpoists out there that would have made this montage better: Huk, Trejo, Dye, some clips from "Kill the Goldnen Ninja/Goose, etc.
@MrRegurgitatedGuts for a match, absolutely! Lets see you take apart a car engine with a hammer and screwdriver.. and that early gracie promo, like most is dubious at best. i could slap a belt on someone off the street and say he's a bjj guy, hit him a few times, and say my style is better. If you wanna show a kenpo loss show Hackney vs Gracie.. he put up a damn good fight for someone out of his realm.. vs a guy been doing bjj prolly since he could toddle not hating bjj, I love it. respect!
but does not use the current American Kempo techniques.
I agree that his fighting style 1-1 gave the hits, but not ep kempo.
hackney mma techniques used. I leave aside the basics of kempo ep. is just brute force. watching it, giving the reason that the kempo not served and seek another way to win.
@MrRegurgitatedGuts attacks to the eyes, throat, groin, attacks to the knee, elbows to the back of the head, head butts, small joint manipulation, kneeing and kicking a downed attacker, etc. these are fouls in most competition. even if not, why maim or cripple for sport? most "self defense" techniques, from ANY style or system pretty much are based off surprise.. you get in a ring or even square up, no surprise. it all comes down to brawling, it drags out, etc. thats what you want to avoid.
@madeku for me that is what takes seriously in its "science" and of course the science is accurate and can be expected, then, is no longer art.
ok, using science to make the least effort under the gain is real, but you talk about economy of motion, then ... Why such paraphernalia in each mivimiento american kempo? Tatum moves a lot and fast hands, but his sparring partners are as immovable as a rock, so before it all works so unreal.
@MrRegurgitatedGuts his sparring partners? i dont think i've seen him spar, just demonstrate. clips on this video from are either from demonstrations, or from movies.. what do people do in movies?.. show off :) ! i've seen plenty of krav maga, bjj, boxers, everything demonstrate an idea in a technique or sequence of movement on a static, compliant dummy.
@madeku Well, I do not mean a movie, I mean the training.
well, I train and I started taijutsu daidojuku (train both), and I can tell you my dear friends with whom I train, move hehe, and if a technique (waza) does not work, surely something I come back, insurance and hurts, and of course if he or they fail, then it is my turn lol, although there is no "reality"because they will not kill me if I'm going to knock out or project (nage waza). So I have not seen in American kempo. sorry.
@MrRegurgitatedGuts i'm sorry you havent seen that kind of realism in kenpo my friend.. i always try and have people i work techniques and drills with attempt actually hit me.. i know its coming, if i get hit it is my fault.. and to be honest i've gotten hit a few times :) Likewise if they're trying to choke me, i want them to try and choke me. if they elbow me in the ribs or something and it doesn't affect me, i have them do it again.
@madeku I personally think that maybe, in american kempo have taken something away from it throughout its existence, today, lacks something, maybe it had endowed parker judo and jujutsu, but today it is not.
@MrRegurgitatedGuts correct. i do agree with you. much of what is out there today is watered down and commercialized. much like TKD has been. but that's the people isn't it? not the art itself.
As I said kempo parker ed is not for use against martial artists.
ed kempo parker used only against drunkards and thieves without fighting style. or tell me something, ed kempo parker is used by the military? nah! .. jujutsu, hapkido, daidojuku, kravmaga, martial arts taijutsu are used in war, therefore these if they deserve the name of martial art. Greetings.
@MrRegurgitatedGuts known plenty of LEOs and a CO or two that have had to use bits of their kenpo training. problem is, people expect to do some fancy long technique..no. you may use a bit of one, and a bit of another, depending on situation. Ed Parker was a BB in Judo, as well as being proficient in boxing. there's multiple jujitsu elements in american kenpo... sure be technical with "martial" how many times, or what are the odds of you actually fighting a soldier? kenpo is martial science.
@madeku ok, you may never in life have to use the martial art, you may never have to be a soldier, but what if that happens?. nothing can surprise you ... is part of art.
now, well, you speak of elbows to the head, kicked in the balls, hits the eye, as you say it is foul in sports, but I'm not talking about sports. it is also true what you say, avoid the situation of fighting in the way that does not suit you, then tell me, because the American Kempo AmericanPoint use?...
I see a lot of aikido and wing chun kung fu in this kenpo art. I know Ed Parker was an awesome martial artist, but I had no clue he was this good. There's a Ed Parker kenpo school near me in which I'm thinking about joining.
look guys, iv'e been studing kenpo and jeet kune do for many years. the reason it looks like there slapping is because of safety for the actors or students. if it was an actual real fist or edge hand attack techniqes it would be very hard to wake up in a possible coma.
@unclebraddah Ehm, no, and I don't think it's an interesting point to discuss either. What I tried to show was that this instrument is used in wing chun especially because it works best to test their skills. Now Kenpo is a completely different system. That's why.
@FearThisChannel Let's take a heavy bag as an example. It was developed for use by boxers. Does that mean that no other martial arts styles or practitioners can use it to develop and practice their skills as well? On second thought, you're right. No point in discussing this with someone who obviously lacks experience, has a closed mind, has no creativity and is trying to show intelligence when what you're saying is really ignorant!
@unclebraddah Now, you don't appear to be that intelligent, either. If you would be, we could be discussing this as grown up, nice people, without all the insults. But since you are a pathetic little teenager who made himself a YT account just to become abusive to other people, I don't think there's really a chance for that.
But, at least, I admit I'm wrong. You were right, they might indeed use muk yan jong in other styles! Very sad this cannot be said in a normal way.
@FearThisChannel Teenager? lol Wrong on that account too. How is it that I'm insulting you when I'm just calling you out on your own words? Let's go back to your original comment "Why the hell do the use muk yan jong?" That right there shows your complete lack of training experience.
@unclebraddah Just a minor mistake. But that's no reason to accuse me of lacking experience or calling me close-minded. And, if you really aren't a teenager, then I think it's a little sophomoric to react in such a way. Or not, if you're autistic. But nothing wrong with that!
@FearThisChannel You're really digging a bigger hole for yourself here. My responses are nothing more than answers to all the inane things you're saying.
@FearThisChannel Your insistence on this not being "an interesting point to discuss" shows me that you didn't want to expound on "why the use of the muk jong". Fine, stay trapped in your box.
1. I don't lack experience. I've been in wing chun for several years, and have practiced judo, jujutsu, muay thai and aikido.
2. I don't have a closed mind, it's a little close minded of YOU to conclude that.
3. I don't see how this has anything to do with a lack of creativity. If that conclusion is derived from the fact that I couldn't see the muk yan jong is also in use in kenpo, then I got a second reason to call you narrow-minded.
@FearThisChannel You're so full of it. If you practiced in all those systems, you wouldn't have said your first comment. And if you did practice those other systems, it really shows that you don't get the core principles of martial arts training. Better go practice on that muk jong before you meet up with a good kenpo stylist. lol
Kenpo mostly only could work if you can get the first srike in. Read: Suckerpunch. But if the shit is on full fighting attacker going off the handle...different story.
This is called the SISSY-SLAP fighting system. I study street MMA in a system called CLEAR COMBAT FIGHTING METHOD. We use a lot of eye strikes, Punches, elbows leg kicks, Greco/Roman wrestling and modified judo.
@Bubi25 ;S i think you are very misinformed about strength from bodybuilding, not to mention all the numerous records of bodybuilder hurting themselve by throwing a punch, A champion bodybuilder just join the dojo i am in and as expected everyone win him easily.
I used to be in Kenpo when I was little, like 8 or 9, and oh man, I WANT TO GET BACK IN SO BAD! I dont know what happened, but recently i have had a burning desire to go back
@Menokokoro the arts are like the ocean, always there but always changing. don't just say you want to train again, go find a gym, dojo, school near you and start again. the only reason you aren't training right now is you.
People talkin shit about Kenpo are idiots. Kenpo is an incredibly effective martial art and it's not just about slapping. There's also jabs, hooks, uppercuts, backfists, elbows, knees, kicks, lots of self defense.
iamgodan ......... would love to introduce you to a couple of Kenpoist I know. Myself, I'm still studying Kenpo; no black belt yet. But I'd still destroy you with my own fury of hands that you'd never finish saying aloud the, "Help Me." It would be over at "heeell ..". At least be respectful when sharing your opinions of others, chump.
@iamgodan That is just for technique purposes. Kenpo is far more than just that. It is very adaptable to a wide variety of situations and the point of origin theory is very amenable to street encounters.
I'd say that Wing Chun( Yong Chun) is more capable of counter fighting than Kenpo becuase of its defensive - offensive - defensive style of moves.... Its just my opinion, nothing personal...
For a style that promots a handful of techniques, they sure have a lot of wasted motions. Lets get to the point already, and stop with all the "checking".
In every single one of these clips where the kenpo guys are doing those rapid fire strikes, WITHOUT EXCEPTION, the other guy is just standing there doing nothing.
@MichaelDescado as a kenpo black belt let me say this kenpo is counter fighting go look it up its about countering and then taking the guy out with multiple strikes they teach you how to disorient people in kenpo
Uh, yes, these are counterattacks. Someone attacks the Kenpo guy, and he counters… and counters… and counters while the original attacker just stands there not reacting to the blows or even trying to defend himself, (by covering up, for example, which is instinctive). This is not how human beings act or react in combat. Totally unrealistic.
"HIYA My ass". thats the best most true part .lol... I pull my lvl10 shotgun gun kata and clear the room in 4.2 seconds, with a reload and a transition to secondary. mines definitely better than yours >;P
No. Kick Boxing/muay thai are sports meant to be used in the ring. In the streets, you don't have time to take your guard and fighting smoothly. plus, most attackers are gonna grab you. What you're going to do if you get grabbed by the neck or from befind? In kempo, they teach you all the techniques to fight in the streets.
if i was closed mined i wouldnt even ask a question. it isnt my fault that all kenpo vidoes look the same. you are right 8 times is a lot in a second. the problem is no guy is just going to just stand there. there are many things a fighter can do. at the very least he can move in a circle which is twice as much as what kenpo shows in their demos. just because i dont accept kenpo doesnt make me close minded. maybe you are closed mined to what i believe.
@MaxKirk21 man you sure showed how wrong i am about kenpo. oh no, i am commenting after you warned me not to. are you going to break my arm, like you bragged about. dont get mad at me cause you can not prove what i asked
@MaxKirk21 you are the idiot that keeps responding. if you dont want to hear what i have to say, then stop responding. i rather have someone with intelligence answer my question anyway. not some guy that brags about breaking arms
@remshot1998 you know if kajukenbo had learn kenpo corectly the first time with reactionary postures and how kenpo really works he would not have to modifie it with extra unneedid crap. Just think anout it.
@The8992 you should probably think about all martial arts are situational. kenpo like most martial arts is not a complete art, so they didnt just modtify kenpo, they combined it with other arts. that way they felt they made it more of a complete art. there are many people that feel kenpo is lacking, but it isnt the only martial art that is, that is why it is good to cross train, or fight an art that covers more than one aspect.which is hard
@remshot1998 I highly respect what you said. BUT kenpo is a complete system. Its the kids out there that want to show how much they think they know of kenpo instead of stepping back and READING what Mr. Parker has wrote. His books explane it all if we just take the time to look and think. I myself have traind in other arts. But I see no reason to change a art if it has been taught corectly. My instructor Mr. Hayes is teaching me the correct way and it feels great.
@The8992 i guess this is were differences of opinion are, which is fine. all arts need change, because things evolve over time. even ed parker thought that, and it is why he has is style. sambo, sanshou, and many more, are just arts that have been modified or combined with other arts. it is what bruce lee taught. he even said fighting evolves. if you are happy with what you are being taught, that is great, but a good instructor must be able to teach and change with the way the world is.
@shiloh123321 yeah, when you show me proof. it is just like i thought you rather just stick to being rude, than actually defend your art. all of these comments could have been avoided if you would have just said, check out this video, or look up this school. that never happened. so, my point is proven. thanks for your time
@remshot1998 ok you want a video, look up Paul Mills. one of the greatest students to come from Parker. you will finaly see what real kenpo is and you might learn something
@shiloh123321 i did learn something. that watching those videos was a watse of time. all he did was what i was talking about. he did all his moves to guys that just stood there. i dont know what he thinks happens in a fight, but attackers are not mindless zombies. maybe were you come from people throw one punch, leave it hanging, and just stand there. i can understand going over the entire movements, but so far that is all i have seen.
@remshot1998 dude when a guy can hit you 8 times in a second there is no time to throw anything else. you throw a punch and you are maimed. do you understand that at all, i would rather end the fight right when he throws the punch because there could be multiple attackers. you are the most close minded guy i don't even know.
@shiloh123321 do you even know what martial arts means? just show me proof. how about a video that the atatcker actually moves, or some good sparring? boxers get in the ring and actually show their moves off. i want to see the same moves practiced in these drills done in sparring, or in a realistic situation. just point me in the right direction, otherwise kenpo looks bad for the real martial arts that are out there.
@remshot1998 dude serously just stop you are going off on a tangent that you obviosly have no clue about. every REAL martial artist that reads your comments says you don't know what you are talking about. read some of the quotes in this video"whatever the attitude so is the response" your attitude is causing us to respond negativly to you. there is no superior martial art. it all lies within the martial artist. .
@shiloh123321 plus what do you call a real martial artist? someone that agrees with you. i never said one art is better than the rest. there are plenty of people that agree with me. maybe you should stop assuming what i am saying, and just pay attention to what i type. i dont have an attitude, i just asked for proof, that you dont seem to be able to provide. that is ok.
@remshot1998 and for US to show you that kenpo is effective on the street WE would have to go aginst ALL martial art principals and either start a fight or get some random guy to attack us. obviosly you are no martial artist or you would know that starting fights just to prove someone wrong on youtube is wrong in that sence
@shiloh123321 who said anything about real fighting. there are other ways to show how effective something is. boxers do it all the time. martial arts means military art, so the pricinples that you talk about doesnt apply to all martial arts, like you claim.
1 month ago @GreenGold33 my point was, i havent seen where kenpo would be effective. i am not saying that isnt, but from what i have see it looks like in a real fight situation, kenpo would be thrown out the window,
you are the one that was talking about real fighting and that it would be thrown out the window in a real life situation. you would be amazed in ANY art of what gets thrown out the window but training will make it easer to do techniques on the street
i have a question. why do all kenpo demos look the same, with the attacker just standing there. most of the time, the attacker throws a punch, and just leaves it out there, and the attacker stays stiff. then when i watch kenpo students spar, i am hoping to see kenpo in action, but all the sparring looks like is just a few kicks. it looks more like tae kwon do, at a low level. what am i missing?
Ed Parker was a excellent martial aritist and fighter buy he was a very bad actor

@crlpompei full contact fighting is good in the ring but on the street what happens if anyone full contatct fighter gets kicked in the groin they will go down just watch some ufc fights they always go down if hit in the balls if a kenpo guy and a kickboxer fought in the ring the kickboxer would win but on the street the kenpo guy would win

After earning my Black Belt in TAEKWONDO I didnt think I needed anything else, Then I competed against some guy's wearing Black gi's at a open tournament. Once they penitrated my kicks they ate me alive with thier hands. I knew I had to have some of that. I now am proud to say I now have my Black Belt in Chinese Kenpo now. Message to the doubters, Kenpo is as good with hands as TKD is with Kicks. Both styles are Awsome! Now it's time to move onto a BJJ Black Belt. Hope my comment inspires you!

With all due respect to these practioners, I thought Ed Parker Kenpo system was not that effective and a waste of time. I got my brown belt in it, competed well against other kenpo guys, but when faced with an MMA guy i felt defenseless. Not saying it cannot be used effectively, and I know there are some practioners who are reall bad a%%es, but for the regular guy, who doesn't have 18 years to master it, I think they're are better options.

@TCCMAC I do understand where you're coming from, but when comparing Kenpo to other martial arts, such as MMA, people don't always realize that Kenpo was strictly designed for street fighting, not sport. That's why a Kenpo Black Belt would have a tough time fighting a MMA fighter in the ring, but put both into a street fighting with multiple opponents, weapons and environments and you would see where Kenpo (when done properly) works and something like MMA isn't as effective.

Kenpo can b effective but too many guys don't test it. My pnt is this: Saying something will work, is not the same thing as it actually working. Test it against other fighters & at full speed. Try intercepting ram on an mma guy at full speed & c what happens. If ur still standing, BRAVO!

@TCCMAC My uncle Michael Teal was a Kenpo grandmaster. He was also an outlaw biker than got into street fights, literally, 2 or three times a week. Usually outnumbered.
He beat the shit out of everyone who ever stepped up to him.
Kenpo training v.s. untrained street fighter, Kenpo guy or girl wins every time.
It's not a martial art that's supposed to teach you to fight in the octagon, but in the real world.

@4cellar2door0 I think the keyword is "grandmaster." If he's a grandmaster, then i would hope he could kick everyone's ass. Seriously though, alot of Kenpo blue & brown belts i trained with thought they were such bad asses, & the truth was none of them had ever been in a fight & few of them had actually even sparred.

@mollybrhodes That is the fault of their own pride, arrogance, and ignorance.
I simply mean, well trained Kenpo fighters, who actually know what they're doing in terms of Kenpo, are very, VERY tough to beat up without training.
Yes, of course my Uncle is a special case, being a grandmaster. I am only a brown belt, but I have definitely sparred and been in quite a few fights. Still undefeated, still training, and still wise enough to know I'm not a "bad ass" like my uncle was lol.
4cellar2door0 5 months ago
@TCCMAC yeah i know what you mean, but with all due respect to people who practice MMA, i think most of them just got this killer instinct inside, their training is completly diferent than in a regular kenpo class, they really beat the hell out of each other, they bleed, they suffer and sometimes they die. I went to train with them a few times, first day they started to hit me as if they wanted me dead. They dont have any moral code or anything that makes a martial art a real ART, just hatred.

As many kenpo and other combat arts specialist know, the vast majority of actual street fights last only last a few seconds. Endurence is not a huge issue. Train POWER & SPEED. concern. Kenpo is also a never changing system; Ed Parker was working on ground techniques, but he died before he published anything(referenced from a few of Ed's students). There is a need to know how ground fighting works and how to get off the ground so you don't get choked or stomped on by the enemies buddies.
christo1k1 6 months ago
Kenpo techniques are made from a few key techniques and made to fit any thinkable situation with small altercations (to motion). Intermediate practitioners are supposed to go through a 'what if' stage were they can see and adapt to what happens (when somebody throws a kick instead of a punch or a punch with the other hand). This is were a great deal of the learning beggins. Than 'Formulation stage' is when you just react. Only after many years do most practioners experience this.
christo1k1 6 months ago
I have used kenpo in 2 or 3 times on the street, 1 or 2 against grapplers that would try to make a point, and have almost broke a couple arms and legs with strikes by people who said i couldn't and then ended up pissed cause I almost did (intentional almost). With no rules it works great. Kenpo is a warring art and is made to destroy ASAP. It does have many techniques and takes many years to develope it. Like a language and most effective when it becomes subconscious.

I am sure glad that i did not know that kenpo does not work when I was confronted with three young men who were all bigger then myself who were out of control.

kenporocks100 8 months ago
Look, I do Kenpo and if we used a real punch, chop, elbow strike on an partner, you would SERIOUSLY hurt them. Its not a "slapping" art, we use different strikes and how to coordinate them, aim for pressure points. If you understand Kenpo and how to use it, it is effective!
I've done TKD and it didn't focus on your own conditioning. Kenpo does, you know what its like to be hit in certain points. The Benefit of Kenpo is that it can be tailored to suit your height or whatever.

Just a reply to you allinthemix10 Kenpo does work my father's friend over his lifetime had been in 36 street fights and didn't lose a single one because he used kenpo. Also probably the only reason Joe Lewis said he should have studied american wrestling was probably because he SUCKED at kenpo. I have seen many great kenpoists in my lifetime including a 60 year old black belt who dropped a 6'3 200 pound guy with one kenpo technique.

@domination64 I train beginner MMA fighters and when they come to me and say they know Kenpo, I know it is going to be a long day. First off they tell me their moves are very deadly and would hurt any MMA fighter. My reply is good, go and spar that guy, he's about your size. 30 seconds later I am helping the kid up, because he forgot that MMA fighters know street fighting also. They make the adjustment by using spear hands, groin kicks along with chokes and hair pulls. Kenpo is not real combat

@clearcombat Kenpo is real combat, just not the sport combat everyone likes or the Hollywood combat everyone loves. It's meant for real life situations on the street where it's pretty much kill or be killed.

FutureUSMC12 7 months ago in playlist Martial Arts
@FutureUSMC12 Chuck beat Joe Lewis several times in tournaments. Pro fighters who studied Kenpo have not done very well in combat, except for Chuck Liddell. It is a very out dated fighting system. You should
learn a hibrid street system like Krav Maga, JKD, V-Force, Spear System, Progressive Fighting and
Clear Combat Fighting System. These are well mixed systems that have a strenght, conditioning and agility programs within thier system.
allinthemix10 7 months ago
@allinthemix10 Of course we're going to have some shitty fighters, every style has them. My point is that Chuck knew that Kenpo is an effective martial art. It wasn't just the black gi like everyone says. Also, why focus your time on conditioning when you could be learning about 3 new techniques per group class? If you want to get in shape, do it on your own time.
FutureUSMC12 7 months ago
@FutureUSMC12 More martial artist should learn less techniques and more conditioning around the techniques. Kenpo has too many techniques to learn. You should learn another style. In fact, go to any MMA camp and say you want to be a sparring partner for fighters in your weight class and see how fast you will be winded and wounded.
Classical martial artist often hide behind a cloak of invincibility.

@FearThisChannel Let's take a heavy bag as an example. It was developed for use by boxers. Does that mean that no other martial arts styles or practitioners can use it to develop and practice their skills as well? On second thought, you're right.

But since you are a pathetic little teenager who made himself a YT account just to become abusive to other people, I don't think there's really a chance for that.
But, at least, I admit I'm wrong. You were right, they might indeed use muk yan jong in other styles! Very sad this cannot be said in a normal way.

3. I don't see how this has anything to do with a lack of creativity. If that conclusion is derived from the fact that I couldn't see the muk yan jong is also in use in kenpo, then I got a second reason to call you narrow-minded.

@The8992 you should probably think about all martial arts are situational. kenpo like most martial arts is not a complete art, so they didnt just modtify kenpo, they combined it with other arts. that way they felt they made it more of a complete art. there are many people that feel kenpo is lacking, but it isnt the only martial art that is, that is why it is good to cross train, or fight an art that covers more than one aspect.which is hard
remshot1998 1 year ago
@remshot1998 I highly respect what you said. BUT kenpo is a complete system. Its the kids out there that want to show how much they think they know of kenpo instead of stepping back and READING what Mr. Parker has wrote. His books explane it all if we just take the time to look and think. I myself have traind in other arts. But I see no reason to change a art if it has been taught corectly. My instructor Mr. Hayes is teaching me the correct way and it feels great.

@The8992 i guess this is were differences of opinion are, which is fine. all arts need change, because things evolve over time. even ed parker thought that, and it is why he has is style. sambo, sanshou, and many more, are just arts that have been modified or combined with other arts. it is what bruce lee taught. he even said fighting evolves. if you are happy with what you are being taught, that is great, but a good instructor must be able to teach and change with the way the world is.

@shiloh123321 yeah, when you show me proof. it is just like i thought you rather just stick to being rude, than actually defend your art. all of these comments could have been avoided if you would have just said, check out this video, or look up this school. that never happened. so, my point is proven. thanks for your time

@remshot1998 ok you want a video, look up Paul Mills. one of the greatest students to come from Parker. you will finaly see what real kenpo is and you might learn something
shiloh123321 1 year ago
@shiloh123321 i did learn something. that watching those videos was a watse of time. all he did was what i was talking about. he did all his moves to guys that just stood there. i dont know what he thinks happens in a fight, but attackers are not mindless zombies. maybe were you come from people throw one punch, leave it hanging, and just stand there. i can understand going over the entire movements, but so far that is all i have seen.

@remshot1998 dude when a guy can hit you 8 times in a second there is no time to throw anything else. you throw a punch and you are maimed. do you understand that at all, i would rather end the fight right when he throws the punch because there could be multiple attackers. you are the most close minded guy i don't even know.

remshot1998 you are making yourself look bad for all the REAL martial artists that read this
shiloh123321 1 year ago
@shiloh123321 do you even know what martial arts means? just show me proof. how about a video that the atatcker actually moves, or some good sparring? boxers get in the ring and actually show their moves off. i want to see the same moves practiced in these drills done in sparring, or in a realistic situation. just point me in the right direction, otherwise kenpo looks bad for the real martial arts that are out there.
remshot1998 1 year ago
@remshot1998 dude serously just stop you are going off on a tangent that you obviosly have no clue about. every REAL martial artist that reads your comments says you don't know what you are talking about. read some of the quotes in this video"whatever the attitude so is the response" your attitude is causing us to respond negativly to you. there is no superior martial art. it all lies within the martial artist. .
shiloh123321 1 year ago
@shiloh123321 plus what do you call a real martial artist? someone that agrees with you. i never said one art is better than the rest. there are plenty of people that agree with me. maybe you should stop assuming what i am saying, and just pay attention to what i type. i dont have an attitude, i just asked for proof, that you dont seem to be able to provide. that is ok.

@remshot1998 and for US to show you that kenpo is effective on the street WE would have to go aginst ALL martial art principals and either start a fight or get some random guy to attack us. obviosly you are no martial artist or you would know that starting fights just to prove someone wrong on youtube is wrong in that sence
shiloh123321 1 year ago
@shiloh123321 who said anything about real fighting. there are other ways to show how effective something is. boxers do it all the time. martial arts means military art, so the pricinples that you talk about doesnt apply to all martial arts, like you claim.

@remshot1998
1 month ago @GreenGold33 my point was, i havent seen where kenpo would be effective. i am not saying that isnt, but from what i have see it looks like in a real fight situation, kenpo would be thrown out the window,
you are the one that was talking about real fighting and that it would be thrown out the window in a real life situation. you would be amazed in ANY art of what gets thrown out the window but training will make it easer to do techniques on the street

This MTV-like vid and irritating Eurotrash techno is exactly what is wrong with commercial kenpo. Ugh.

i have a question. why do all kenpo demos look the same, with the attacker just standing there. most of the time, the attacker throws a punch, and just leaves it out there, and the attacker stays stiff. then when i watch kenpo students spar, i am hoping to see kenpo in action, but all the sparring looks like is just a few kicks. it looks more like tae kwon do, at a low level. what am i missing?
