A braggart and pseudo tuff guy.

Says who? Kenpo works.

Well sorry to say that unfortunately your brother spent 5 years but learned nothing! Maybe he just didn't pay attention or didn't have the aptitude to really learn Kenpo. After 2-3 years of regular training in Kenpo anyone should be able to dismantle any parking lot thug.

@@chrissullivan9143 nah there is no shame into admitting that kenpo wasnt for him everybody is just different as a Kenpo brown belt I am just glad this guy switched to something he found useful

Hard to beat a skilled boxer. People worship BJJ, and while that is awesome in a cage fight, would’ve been useless here. While grappling the one guy, the other guy is stomping on your head or repeatedly stabbing you in your flank… The thing about hoodlums is that they always seem to travel in packs

yep watching these american kenpo videos it just looks like a bunch of slapping to me.

​@@chrissullivan9143 oh bullshit..anyone with the iq of a rock knows this is complete trash. I'm a street fighter with minimal boxing skills and a small amount of wrestling, and I'd dismantle you

yes, it is. But any martial art can be if you practice it. Ed Parkers Kenpo may have abit of an extra edge in that its mostly natural movements. I did it for 12 years and Im glad I did. I never got the chance to use it. but my teacher has used it many times successfully in the street.

its important to practice. The art has to become a part of you. It has to be second nature, and that takes years and years. You would need all the techniques to be second nature.

Also its important to have a good teacher. There are students that dont really "get it" and they just follow by the book. In what we call the "Ideal Phase". Ive trained with fellow students where I never really connected with them because they were so by the book and I was always a free thinker, and knew every teacher has a point of reference, which was there teacher so its important to seek information from other sources, be it other teachers, books, online forums, youtube videos. The point is to learn the ideal phase of a technique, then start playing with them, in the "What if" phase, then when you reach black belt, or a more advanced state, there is the formulation phase. Its really about learning how to think for yourself.

Yosef Ben Yakov It is useless in the street. All the grab techniques are garbage- just resist and do not cooperate and they fall apart. The knife techniques will absolutely get you killed. And have you noticed that nobody fights back? If there is no pressure testing there is no reality. So they think you can deliver 2 or more strikes before you can move? Bullshit! I knew a narcotics cop. I warned him about this Kenpo crap he was studying. So on a drug raid he was the undercover buyer. It got physical and he tried a grab defense called Twin Kimono- a two handed front jacket grab. So when he dropped back to "break the guy's arms" he got headbutted right in the face and was about knocked out- broken nose, knocked out tooth, split eye and a concussion. He told me if his backup didn't get in he'd be dead. By the way, I have a black in Kenpo so I know all the weaknesses which are masdive- a fake martial art. Shalom my brother! I hope that helped.

I never tried it in a street fight. Maybe I should go pick on someone 🤔

You're a moron lol, come and fight me I'll smoke you

Okay, that's if you stand there & let him hit you dumb ass, I'll teach you all the street fighting techniques you want, I charge $50.00 a hour with guaranteed results that your opponent will never get up again, money back if not happy.

@@readynow12345 Try teaching them to him dumb fuck

"street fighting"? Don't buy into the idea you're going to learn anything that would help you in a "street fight". No MA will prepare you for the unexpected. Except maybe a MA used by the military forces (e.g. Systema, Authentic Krav Maga--not taught to the public)....which MIGHT help only in a one on one against some one close in size/strength/speed...too many factors in a "street fight" working against ONE man...even Jeff...difference is he'd last longer than a MA less experienced...he'd still end up in a coma or dead.

@@AGC828 any fight is unexpected, street or sanctioned bout. I never said I buy into any MA, but training obviously helps. All UFC fighters, for example, are trained.

@@AGC828 Systema? Systema is a joke invented by a fat loser named Roboykin who hasn't seen his own feet in 30 years! And the Russian Soetsnaz do not use it!

Fr my kenpo school focused more on power, proper technique, and proper weapons when doing techniques

@@skeletonfilms3650 yes exactly mine too 👍👊🥋👊

It's a training demo. You keep it simple so you can explain and teach the points of the technique.

@Fysiel Pretty good explanation. My teacher stressed that it was ALL REPETITION. He's say " Why do some students in martial arts get really good and others don't? REPETITION! Some are lazy and give up, don't invest the time necessary." He told me " Do you want a powerful punch? A powerful kick?. stand there right now and throw ten thousand kicks w/ each leg!" I thought he was kidding. Nope. " Want a great punch? Throw ten thousand punches w/ each hand..." I never did that many, but his meaning sunk in....

Brian Mucha It’s not all about repetition. It’s about repetition of valid, proven techniques that have been proven against resisting opponents. Then using those same techniques regularly against resisting opponents. This stuff is mostly a waste of time , compared to boxing, real karate, real Tae Kwon Do, BJJ, etc. It looks and sounds cool, and it might work on a chump. That’s it.

I think it all happens in a matter of seconds 1 blow after another, but I understand what you mean. These complex moves with multiple techniques may not always go as planned

George Kondylis you should go try it out.

I have seen the gradings in that really big building thats where i am aiming for

The Vegas Kenpo camps were unbelievable back in the day! "When you lead by example, people follow by choice."

not really
