  • Danny Devito teaches karate?

  • If you guys are such experts then where are your videos? You guys can talk alot on the computer but the proof is in the pudding. I have been doing martial arts for 22 yrs. Parker and tracy kenpo for 17 of them. Plus Sanuces ryu jiu jitsu. I have Nothing more to say.

  • Lot of dis-repectful clowns out there.

  • P.S 5 swords lacks a kick (Generally). Those slap motions even in training will transfer to a real fight. Get rid of the 10th degree black Belt as stated before. Huk is the only 10th degree next to Parker who died. You also could get a better angle on the neck if you step towards the 4:30 angle/ half a step over with your left foot going behind your right. Which clears the neck by putting you in a line where the head and shoulders don't block your chop. It at least lowers the chance.

  • People who say that 5 swords is only good for blocking a right hook punch there wrong. For one it is easy to change it to block a left hook with this technique. Another thing is that it is a master key technique that is used in other techniques for example glancing salute uses the same principles as does shield and sword and defying the storm. This shows that kenpo techniques are usefull for any situation u just have to adapt them. So anyone didrespecting kenpo do your research

  • Martial arts as we see today has turned into a dis respectful bunch of babies that need their belt wiped away for being exactly what the arts are not. A bunch of head strung, you are wrong and I am write babies, who if got in the ring with anyone, would get their butts put on the floor. Go dis respect your garbage, I feel sorry for anyone who would come to any of you pigs for training..Good job respectful teachers if there are any left.. Bow, but none no that either/

  • be ok if your ads did not freeze the video, I wanted to see girly boy danny devito fight like a girl

  • Shou Shu's five swords is so much better

  • @shozinryu4 , if you have been studying for so long what styles what rank, where and when and how, because i have been doing martial arts since i was 4 and im not 20 and i experienced many different styles, and i have absorbed NOT LEARNED what is usefull from each and discarded what is useless, im not a 20 yr old jeet kune do instructor and i teach my students the same thing, absorb from every style what is usefull for them and to toss away what dose not work or apply,,

  • @mrharrytoyou1 YES this is absolutly correct! its not simple enough for self defense your going to cloud your mind thinking, wait is this how i do it, or ok this then this then that, NO youd get your ass kicked trying to defend yourself with this technique outside of a traditional sports martial art, its not applicable to actual self defense

  • @MegaRocketLaunch no it isnt, there is no power behind the technique in a real life situation
