Nice Explainations. What is your lineage?

[neckbreakerb]

Thanks. I started training under Jared Emfield in Idaho Falls ID. I've trained under Tim Brod(who trained under the Florez bros.) Now I train under Bob Leonard. How about yourself?

These technique of kenpo is similar to japanese techniques such as shotokan (broad stances, for example).

Look deeper.

@LordShandor have to agree! but would add that there are some timing issues as well. But that's what growth and experience are about right?

[kjjeno]

lordshandor you are an ass. i think his stances and targeting is ok the only disagreement i have is that this technique is not like five swords

[LordShandor]

Sure, let's all just hold hands and sing songs. That will accomplish a lot.

In this video I see a cookie cutter application, this is why it will not work.

[LordShandor]

That is usually the case.

How long have you actually been fighting?

Reading your bio - I see that you do practice Kenpo. That's cool. I notice that you list BJJ as an interest. One of the things I love about most BJJ practitioners is their open mindedness. It's rare that they say, "You have to do it this way."

That's what I love about BJJ. I wish we were more like that. In my humble opinion we spend too much time bickering amongst ourselves, and it brings us all down.

I am just disappointed when I hear Kenpo practitioners (assuming you practice Kenpo) criticizing each other. There is always more than one way to execute. We used to value what worked over "the cookie cutter," but we have largely lost this.

It's too bad, and I think it's heartbreaking.

I have only been training for 25 years. I could easily be wrong.
