@kingdaddi is there a difference between american kenpo (karate kenpo?)? and chinese kenpo or are the similiar or fused or what becuase i would want to train more like in chinese kenpo.
@griqs Their similar, not quite the same. American Kenpo has 154 self defense techniques, Chinese and Tracy kenpo have more. Their is also a few other styles of Kenpo. I study a variety of them; American, Chinese, Tracy. There are home studies course in each one I believe. Black belt magazine did a study a few years ago found Kenpo home study just as effective as learning in a dojo.
@alyek321: I went back to my statements and nothing you said was true. I never said it was the best style or that one could take anyone by training it. I know full well that it has to do with the individual, not the fighter. And you did challenge me indirectly. Calling me a "tap and go" fighter and then after explaining to you my skills and position you say "I'm going to visit you?" Ha! Oh and I'm sure Pride and K-1 fighters troll the internet picking fights on Youtube, Lol
"Oh and I'm sure Pride and K-1 fighters troll the internet picking fights on Youtube, Lol" Classic and so true. He is just a troll. Probably never even step foot in a dojo.
@alyek321: Once again, I have never trained Chuan Fa. I just researched the origins and am making my own art based on its principles. Second, Ed Parker did NOT name the art of Chuan Fa; Ed Parker's interpretation came under the name of KEMPO and was a combination of his skills in Jujitsu, Boxing, and tutorage under William K. S. Chow who taught Shaolin Kung Fu and Masayoshi Mitose, who taught Kosho Ryu Kempo. Chuan Fa was around BEFORE Ed Parker and if you did some research you would know that!
@alyek321: Lol now you wanna get sarcastic. I'm not the one who offered a challenge, not to mention you've just made up a bunch of nonsense in your own head about what I MYSELF do. First of all, never once did I say I had trained Chuan Fa, neither did I ever claim to train Karate. Yet you accused me of training in both...hmm...Second of all I don't remember ever directing a comment toward you until you replied to mine as "What else are you gonna look for, lol." If you actually train, go do it!
@alyek321: Oh perfect! Another wannabe who likes the taste of dirt. Sure, come by the Fitness Compound in Santa Clarita California! I'm there most of the time so feel free to walk right on in! I'll be sure to clear the floor and videotape everything so there's concrete proof of my victory. Just be sure to sign the waver that says you won't sue us after I've beaten you. Enter at your own risk cuz we go all out!
@alyek321: Interesting, I thought I was talking to someone with some intelligence, but I guess not. If you had some education on the art of Chuan Fa you would know that most styles of Chuan Fa(Chinese Kenpo) encompass Fujian White Crane, Jujitsu, and the Lohan Hands(AKA the Buddha Hands/Palm). and modern Chuan Fa styles have incorporated boxing and kickboxing into the fighting syllabus. Look at that! You learned something!
@alyek321: I train Boxing and Kung Fu, not sport Karate!!! I've even managed to get a few people interested in learning how to kick, so they are training under me right after Boxing class. I don't believe in point sparring or the so called "tap and go." It's all or nothing, and in my sparring (Which combines Hung Gar and Boxing) we ONLY train full contact!!!
@alyek321: Well actually I train several martial art styles (Boxing, Hung Gar, Jujitsu) and use Chuan Fa as a guide to develop techniques. I'm creating my own martial arts system, and Chuan Fa(Kenpo) was the closest to my strategies. So yes, my chuan fa has all four of the fighting categories and it is inherent to all martial arts.
Dude do your homework and leave me alone. I was very nice to you and never insulted you. Also, yes Maeda taught Judo to Carlos Gracie and that is where it came from. Even the Gracies will admit to that, it's even on the Gracie Academy website and Wikipedia, and millions of others.
@Sexoja23: chuan fa, or "fist method" is essentially Chinese Wushu at it's deadliest. The (warrior) monks used Chuan Fa to defend themselves against bandits and thieves. It's essentially a compiliation of the four fighting categories: kicking, striking, throwing, and locking.
Honestly speaking I thought name "Chinese Kenpo" is just fiction. Only heard it in the game Streetfighter as the fighting style practiced by Chun-Li. Now I can see that this quite a real deadly art.
@gabypie the most dangerous arts to learn bajiquan...those are legendary arts and are unknown, those disciples from those club came to mma, they have beaten them all half death....
@gabypie The most dangerous art to learn depends on the fighter. If you're a bigger guy, you most likely would like boxing and wrestling. If your a smaller guy, you'd do better in Karate. If you prefer to fight on the ground, Jujitsu would be better. The martial arts doesn't make the fighter unstoppable, the fighter make it unstoppable.
I'm taking Kenpo right now. I have a brown belt in Shotokan Karate and I will tell you there is a big difference between traditional Karate and Kenpo.
While doing the basic techniques, my instructor kept telling me to "STOP DOING KARATE." And now I realize that Karate is a "1, 2, 3" thing. However, kenpo is a "ALL ONE MOTION" art. In other words, Karate teaches, 1 - Block, 2-Kick, 3- Punch, etc. Whereas, Kenpo teaches "Block, kick, strike" as all one motion using the opponent's force against him
In Japan the word Kenpo or Kempo translates to mean Chinese martial arts. It is just Kung Fu that was taught to Japanese and altered slightly. If you look at arts like Wing Chun or Choy Li Fut you will see some of the same techniques, drills, and training tools. One example is the wooden dummy and chi Sao, all 3 arts use them at some level. In kempo chi Sao is sometimes called kempo hands for example. Hope that helps.
@guitarttimman The Law of Fist *-* Kenpo or Kempo is the same but kung fu has that see with other thing... srry but I never practice kung fu therefore I couldn't tell you what is it, only I know there not is the same. You can't compare apple with pears xD.
Kenpo actually is more kung fu orientated because it uses the opponents own force against them. You have many similarities. For example, Clutching Feathers, etc. I studied some shao lin and some kenpo. I have a brown belt in Shotokan Karate.
During this same period the Chinese system from which Kenpo was derived underwent so many changes that, while most of the Kenpo techniques can be found scattered among the hundreds of Chinese fighting systems, there is no single system in China today that resembles Kenpo.
Few modifications were required for Kenpo to overcome the new unarmed systems that developed over the next 7 centuries that came to be known as Karate (Japanese of "Empty Hand"). But for the Yoshida and Komatsu Clans who developed their art into a truly Japanese style, the term was simply Kenpo.
Kenpo is a Japanese unarmed fighting art that was brought from China to Japan about 700 years ago by the Yoshida Clan and was quickly adopted by the Komatsu Clan. The word Kenpo means literally, "Fist Law," and also refers to its Chinese origin. The Japanese adaptation of this Chinese style was well suited to defend against the various unarmed Japanese martial arts of the 12th century.
Yes this is Karate. It's a Japanese word. Even Chinese kung fu is called Karate in Japanese. But language lesson aside..
This is an adaptation of the Chinese martial arts that came to Japan. When the chinese martial artist fled to japan they repaid their host's by teaching them kung fu. Then the Japanese martial artist mixed the two arts.
@kustomhead ...your are incorrect in a manner of speaking. Do your research first , then give us the 'history' lesson. Have respect for all martial arts as all are good.
