The obvious trouble is that you habitually chamber your arm, thus neglecting checking the action of his arm. Good lick on your journey

@robocoastie I do not consider Parkers bastardized "kenpo" traditional at all. Even he wasnt stupid enough to claim it was traditional, hence the name AMERICAN kenpo. But you contradict yourself in saying it encourages change but is nontraditional but yet is/was an evolving style, for that to be so the style would be founded on change, therefor making change the tradition. Evolution or not is not the determining factor on tradition. Even so, change should be for better not worse like this.

@guitarninja83 I know your comment is a year old, but if you still hold this opinion I'd like to know if you consider Parker's Kenpo "traditional". Afterall "kenpo" is an evolving style - chuan'fa from China to eventually Okinowan Kenpo to the Hawaiin islands where Parker made American Kenpo - if anything Kenpo seems to be not only non-traditional but encourages change and hodge-podging.

The teacher was blocking below the elbow, which would enable the attacker to collapse his elbow and continue striking. So when blocking on the outside of arm.. block above the elbow, and wen blocking the inside then you block below

Thank you for posting this video. You gave me an idea of what I should do for my 5th one step counter for my yellow belt test this Saturday.
