kenpo uses a lot of pressure movements.... its cool and all but i dont see the point. to me it just looks pretty =]

.....I would like to make clear that I am not criticizing the student here. I think Gemma has waaaaaaaay more potential then is being demonstrated for her belt level; this is ultimately a failure of her instruction. so my question to her teacher(s) is what is the purpose of a form?

[redpillpusher]

a little constructive criticism and observation; this is ultimately directed at the instructors responsible for teaching you. if the goal of learning a form is simply to memorize a series of movements then you have executed it as such. but I'm pretty sure that's not the purpose of the form. in a nutshell: energy is high, no energy generation from your center (it's all in your shoulders) which pretty much makes this form a series of arm movements and nothing else....continued on other post...

If she punched you in the throat you would on your face before you knew it. Sharp kick to the knee would disable pretty much anyone.
