C'mon folks. These are new students learning. I'll bet that black belt that is instructing them could tune up many people posting here. I know nothing about Kenpo, but I'll wager that anyone who is fit and knows it could handle themselves in a fight just fine.

it amazes me how rude and disrespectfull today martial artist have become. they now think it is cool to be rude and disrespectful to other martial artist. they dont even have the couage to put themselves out there with there own videos but instead put other people down behind all while hiding there idenity. i bet they would not have the guts to say it to there face or even walk into someone elses dojo and say the things they do here and on other videos. it is sad times we live in with all the hate out there

Is this joke or what ?

Check out the Nisei Goju Ryu of Sensei Grand Master Herbie Thompson and Sensei James Sisco back in the 80s in Miami for realistic karate technique!!!

Wonder what she’s like on the ground ? Well done lady 👍🏻

Just for fun watch Al Tracy's videos he moves with glacier like slowness, his strikes barely have focus, he has no demonstrable power and flow. He moves like he is phoning it in. Even later in Life Parker moved crisply, with power, speed flow and precision. All his top students took it further and fought, did forms, weapons, demos, competed, many did full contact. I've seen a ton of Tracy's students and they're okay but they just don't have what the American Kenpo people did that I saw. Ed parker also just let himself get out of shape, if he'd been into conditioning, diet and something like yoga he'd have stuck around far longer, maybe even til the 2020s.

UHHHH, I gotta ask, you spend a considerable amount of time telling us that YOUR main instructor was a fake, why did you spend your LIFE teaching the system?

How is it possible to be a professional martial artist, make millions be able to afford all the gear you need, the most nutritious food, have access to thousands of training partners and get so damned out of shape and stay there?

None of this shit would work in a street fight, let alone against a boxer.

Can I buy the DVD?

I studied kenpo, and wing chun, a lil jujitsu, grappling. And various other moves, from other styles, like aikido, systema, judo, and tykwando. And in a real street fight, none of that comes into play. I've used more blocking and counter techniques, then anything else. Ppl don't sit pretty with their arm extended for you. It's fast, brutal, and always resistant. Learn to use their momentum, and inpatients against them. Be fast, always move, and take em to the ground. I love martial arts, but most of the moves are dogshit.

i like how in almost every one of these videos the ukes left hand just hangs down..i guess all their opponents' have major nerve damage in their left arms thereby rendering them useless...they can only punch with their right arms !!!

wtf is this dogsh*t

" What is real?...how do you define.. real?"...Do you think thats oxygen your breathing ?"

Stop grifting dude

21:41 lol, this jackass has a meltdown because a yellow belt doesnt know how the move is scripted... Then continues to single him out for humiliation and even a few personal challenges.

Thank you for the trip back to the 80's to remember why martial arts in the US were so bad

What camera are you using

That nagashi is horrendeous Opponent remains in perfect ballance, to follow up with a second strike .. of course, no evasion behind nagashi - one going against a weapon should not only block, but clear out of the attacks trajectory, in case the block is shattered This is just bad .. not to even mention it is worthless as ,,handfighing" because it simulates armed fighting

Woke Dojo ?

How has this not been qualified as a mcdojo?

today's lesson on how to wind up on the ground w your ass kicked.

If he is going to attack you by lifting his fist up and back before puching then I would suggest just walk away as you will have plenty of time before he can hit you.

Zero concept of the sword .

Have you actually ever been in a street fight and attempted to use that systematic Bull sh-t?

I wish these folks would stop giving karate a bad rep.

This is good. I'll incorporate this more in training. This can also be used with the knee instead of the shin.

Wow blazing speed Lifting up his leg reminds me of my neighbors dog Yet another Bruce Tegner of the 60'S

why would somebody stand open as he attack

from one martial artist to another - great video thanks for it. Keep real martial arts alive yes

Beautiful

lol. White bullshit Kenpo. You got your kimono in a joke shop ? And the white tiger gets killed by the hunter.

So disappointing o see this as any system of American Goju Ryu.

Comedy?

Comedy?

Chun Kuk Do Grandmaster Chuck Norris mastered 15 fighting styles, especially Kenpo Karate and Kyokushin Karate.

It's not the color of belts that people should believe in; they should only believe in their training.

Can please bring video back for all the belt yellow to black please

Cool move

Weak

Was this recorded in the 90s? Bullshido 😂

no hip use. you look like an amateur white belt

If the person doesn't know ukemi, their wrist is going to have a VERY bad day. Something people never discuss is that Aikido's kote gaeshi and Aiki Jujitsu's kote gyaku nage (demonstrated) are two ends of a spectrum of force, and that one doesn't have to operate in the extremes on either end. Kote gaeshi is sometimes too gentle to be affective (depending on circumstances, and expertise of the user [it takes more skill to be nice AND effective]) and kote gyaku nage is on the extreme end of "let's F this guy up." The difference between these two throws is the axis of rotation. In the gentler kote gaeshi, the axis of rotation is "along" the natural articulation of the joints, folding the arm back in on itself, and collapsing the center to the ground. In the battle ready kote gyaku nage, the axis of rotation is orthogonal to the rotation of the joints, **requiring** an escape fall in order to preserve their operation. What most people don't realize is that these two different methods are not antagonistic. Meaning you don't have to pick one over the other. You can actually start with kote gaeshi, and blend in orthogonal energy to either direct the fall, or to improve compliance. In this way, you can dynamically dial up the aggression of the technique, WHILE you're doing it, to allow you to customize to fit the situation's requirements.

Lo que no entiendo es..si querían tener su propio sistema hubieran trabajado en eso..pero lo único que hicieron fue tener las mismas técnicas que su maestro Ed Parker les enseño y cambiarles el nombre..que por cierto los nombres son más largos que las tecnicas..

I did. this in the 1960’s🥋🥋😮

a fraud real????? ho give the black belt to Master parker?

Does the hammer fist to the groin work if they are wearing a cup?

Thank you Sensei Rathbone, this is gold

So basically American Kenpo is based on a bunch of lies as well as the spin off systems
