@@charleslambdin3190 I'm currently looking for a credible source to interview who had documents. Stay tuned.

@@socialgelo7719 Awesome. Super curious what you conclude. Be sure to include the similarities between Mitose's book and Choki Motobu's, Mitose pretending to be a priest, and some people claiming he did not have a background in martial arts and was just teaching from Motobu's material. Interesting argument that Juchnik did not learn a style from Mitose as much as he created one and attached it to Mitose.

It's pretty cool how they keep adapting their system to keep up with the times.

@socialgelo7719 the freestyle ruleset was created by the President of the American Sambo Association, Stephen Koepfer AKA Sambo Steve, who is also my Coach. He'd be a good one for you to interview.

I studied kung fu from masters in Taiwan and Hong Kong and other Chinese masters as well. A lot of Americans have never been exposed to real kung fu and that is why they make fun of it. A lot of what people call Kenpo, is not the Japanese version. It is actually a copycat of Jimmy Woo version of San Soo kung fu. It was repackaged southern style kung fu and they slapped the name Kenpo on it because that term was popular in the 1940s 50s and 60s in the state of Hawaii.

@@MrEdium interesting. I'm in Japan and one of my students is a black belt in an Okinawan style of Karate. I'd like to ask him about it. If you know the name of those teachers let me know. It would be interesting to make a connection.

I heard about that.

@socialgelo7719 Yeah, Joe would work out early in the morning before he would go on duty, then work out after he got off duty, he said he was the first one there and the last to leave. Hard work, and it didn't hurt that he was incredibly talented.

@@creightonfreeman8059 Mitose is even more mysterious than Chow. Mitch stays away from anything that he doesn't have access to documents for and reffered me to some people. Down the line I'll do one one on Mitose.

He was a fraud my guy. It's clear as day....also it's amusing that this whole "I fight by the rules OF THE STREET" cope is still a thing these past 30 years. The laws of physics and body mechanics doesn't' auto-magically change to favor those who never actually put their skills to the test over those that do.

If I recall correctly, James was a relation of Choki Motobu and his family. But I can not swear to this. Al Tracy has a great indepth history on Kenpo. Ed Parker only has a shodan from Chow. The Internet is wrong on Parker. As an example, Al Tracy was one of the men who awarded Parker his third dan. And he was a Parker student! Rank in Karate really is not that old. I am 62 and know a little history. Lots of old names played loose with belt ranks. So did the Koreans. Chow was mad at Parker I understand. Chow never had a school and was always teaching in a YMCA. He was by most standards poor. Lots of people will tie roots to Chow, but after they got what they wanted, they left Chow. Once again, Al Tracy put out a long history of Kenpo. I have found a lot of dirty laundry in a lot of histories.

Street fighters of the past generations were automatically doing MMA stuff minis the fancy crap. I know because I would beat boxers to wrestlers because I mixed how I fought with strikes and holds and slams and folkstyle wrestling. MMA isn't anything new either. It just finally got coined and used as a sport to show skill between competitors.

@@bruceford1359 thanks for sharing your thoughts on this.

@@pietrodelacuesta756 definitely.

@@Canecorso14 I've heard Gracie University is a little more self defense oriented. But it varies by academy.

@ would judo be better to learn then jiujitsu for self defense because they focus on keeping the fight standing

@Canecorso14 I think both are a winning combination. Judo doesn't allow leg grabs. Making wrestling a bit more practical.

@@anti1training that's a good point

@@anti1training it really is.

Because they live in an imaginary world, where Jean Claude VanDamme’s jumping spinning heel kick works on EVERYBODY!😂 Or that just because they take/took a martial arts class, means that they now can beat up the average, “non-educated in martial arts” guy, no matter how athletic or muscular they may be…🤦🏻😂☠️ Conditioning is EVERYTHING! If you take two guys of equal height, weight, musculature and train one in martial arts with grueling exercise and the other in the same martial art WITHOUT any exercise… who do you think will win in a fight between them? The same also applies to people who have trained in martial arts for many years but have NEVER truly sparred full on 100% using their learned techniques versus one who has sparred every week for years on end. Real world application means EVERYTHING!! It’s like one who “thinks” they know how to play chess against a master just because they’ve been playing chess for years.🤦🏻 These people also think that real world fights should look just like they do in the movies, either where every punch or kick knocks the guy(s) down or a guy can punch another guy 20-30 times in the face, bare fisted, and not do any damage to him because he’s the hero of the movie and is “trained to take a punch”.🤦🏻🤷🏻‍♂️ Now, conversely, one must understand that there are rules of fighting in the ring/MMA and ZERO rules on the street. So true street fighters or martial artists are limited or “hamstringed” when they fight in the ring because they can’t use their entire arsenal against their opponents. However, this is equal for their opponents as well, so they cannot complain! But we must recognize that fighting without rules in the street would be VERY different… groin shots, eye jabs, neck punches/chops, punches to the back of the head, kicking/kneeing/stomping on opponents while they’re down, DDT/pile driving opponent’s heads into the concrete/asphalt/ground, etc… . So true martial artists are “limited” in the ring/sports competitions. Either way, without going full bore and trying to kill an opponent, one is on the same playing level as the other. ALL sports have rules that are meant for the participants safety/well being, so that they don’t get hurt permanently OR fatally. So, if traditional martial arts people try to get critical of the MMA/combative sports, they should stop and remember that MMA fighters are playing by certain rules and just imagine IF they didn’t! One shouldn’t complain about or compare their traditional technique versus MMA because it like comparing apples and oranges, no rules versus lots of rules!🤦🏻 Now, if a traditional martial artist thinks he can go into the MMA and beat everyone easily, then by all means go for it!! But don’t be surprised when you get pommelled into the ground and start crying like a baby!😂😂😂👍 Skill, timing, conditioning, power, lack of fear, aggressiveness, endurance, proficiency….ALL of these together make up a fighter, but to be a top fighter you MUST have ALL of these nearly perfected…. and the ONLY way to try to get these perfected is by sparring in the ring 🤼 and exercising in the gym🏋️‍♀️. Talk is cheap, so put your money where your mouth is or shut up.😎🇺🇸
