for those of you trying to defend the actions of the people in this video, if your going to try to defend the art know the art!!! Good lord man.... Mmafighting, has valid points! and so do others, if it's not slapping then you wouldn't mind explaining the purpose for the rapid hands "rebounding" from the "slapped" portion of the body.... see how easy that was? I will wait and see what you post to attack this then we can have some serious discussion about what is going on. And I am a kenpoist!!!!

@KenpoGuyProductions Kenpo Guy i am not a good english speaker, so i have to ask you to explain on a easier way for me, what you are trying to say.

[KenpoGuyProductions]

@kenpokaratept well I can't explain it much simpler than I did. A person does not have to be a black belt in kenpo to recognize that someone is not using stance changes let alone proper stance changes. MMadude has valid points, while they may not be presented in the nicest manner he has valid points. Mr. Downey is (I'm sure) a great kenpoist, however no matter how many times I watch this video he does not pivot into a forward bow and neither does the other dude.

[kenpokaratept]

@KenpoGuyProductions Well dude. Let me see if i can explain you something. Many years before my team enter the world of kenpo, myself and my students where already in the world of Full Contact, Submission Fight and MMA (the original word is Vale Tudo) you know what this is? I was watching your videos, you do some nice things but obviously you don´t have the proper knowledge to evaluate mens like Donwey and Burgess.

ed and john are legends to train with .

[GohModley]

@kenpokaratept Why, he looks like he can handle himself. Are you calling him weak. I'm not. He strong and that's why I want to spar with him.

[kenpokaratept]

Wolfie dont be a coward, if you want to sparre do it with someone of your age, for instance, one of his students.

[modestohomeboy]

That was totally cool...and I know what I'm talking about.my 25 years in the MA's including boxing and black belts in 2 arts tells me so!

[boris999222666]

look all the arts have good points but this is my issue with kenpo. where is the "maximum effect minimum effort", being dan grade level at jujitsu and wado ryu karate this to me just seems like alot of fancy and unecessery movement. if you had to deal with 2 or 3 opponents then this style (to me) seems utterly unrealistic.

@GohModley Sorry mate i don't mean to be on your ass at all, it is just you suggested you would kick his. It came across as disrespectful.

[GohModley]

@cluedo31 I'd check your particular state law b4 doing so. Manslaughter is no joke. Besides, why are you on my ass about this shit anyway. Why so defensive just becuz I'd like to spar with the man?

[cluedo31]

@GohModley You see, i actually think it is. In the eyes of the law you have grounds for defense even when striking first, so long as you truly believed that the person or persons you struck were intent on causing you bodily harm. I understand where you are coming from but are you saying that we should all wait until the punch is thrown before we react by trying to defend it. i can live with myself as long as i don't continue to deliver retribution on my would be attacker. What is your take ?

[GohModley]

@cluedo31 preemption isn't self-defense
