Ed Parker would be proud of his student Jeff Speakman for carrying on the art of Kenpo as well as enhancing it with ground fighting! Kenpo 5.0 has it all! Stand up street fighting infused with grappling and weapons. I would love to train in Kenpo 5.0 one day! This video was excellent!

Okay, my two cents, you can compare martial arts, no what style, to a military operations order. Neither one will go as planned after the first shot is fired! Therefore you have to have as many contingency plans/fighting skills in advance as possible in order to adapt to the situation on the fly. Kenpo is one martial art that allows that to happen.

Mr Speakman has always been an innovator on kenpo. He was the first to take it to the movies. Now retired, he, as a high grade black belt, is taking it to a new level with his adaptations and interpretations. But when he starts adding grappling I switch off. We all know the importance of grappling techniques and people are cross training again by going to different classes and learning from different teachers. It is great that Mr Speakman is open in his personal training to take up what looks to be BJJ, and is most likely to be so, plus some old style standing JJ, maybe aiki jujutsu as that is what the old karate masters in Japan studied. However his Kenpo classes should be just Kenpo, taking what he knows and developing it. He is not at a high enough level in his grappling systems to be teaching. If you want to learn Kempo Jujutsu, Judo, aikijujutsu, BJJ or go to the Gracie's, that is great. But do that, go to a judo club! learn from a sensei, practice with the other judoka, the specialists. Do not water it down by having karate teachers, even black belts, who are only white belts in judo, trying to teach and then practice with each other. By all means, have a cross training day where you so some boxing, ran dori, grappling, mix it up. But still practice your pure karate without diluting it. And take instruction in your supplementary arts from real instructors at their clubs and practice with students of that art.

It does not take a rocket scientist to understand grappling, that is the good thing about Kenpo, it adapts to any system and can cause it to be better. You dont have to study years to understand one system if your already a master at one art you just adapt. Chew the meat spit out the bones. What most do not understand about Kenpo is that Kenpo intertwines any system into it, from ground to standing. It does not matter if your a black belt in any other system, if you are a Grandmaster in Kenpo you can adapt we have always taught this.

Kenpo is a brilliant martial art. It is very similar to Wing Chun kungfu and Silat. If one of these arts are learned you will not have a problem learning the other two arts. If they are all combined in an actual situation, then that would be very devastating

I was a long term Ed Parker Kenpo practitioner. All I every heard was the rhetoric about street fighting and the science of street fighting, yet all we did was point fighting and practice very unrealistic fight choreography. Early in my training I witnessed a Kenpo and Kickboxing champion trip backwards in a fight only to have a street fighter pounce on him and beat the sh*t out of him. The cat is out of the bag. You can see thousands of street fighting videos and MMA fights that show you that bullsh*t doesn't work. Jeff Speakman is one of the few that is addressing those gaps between fact and fiction.

Does any one else find it odd that in all traditional MA demo videos the attacker is attacking with the same MA style. In this case the attack ALSO happens to be a black belt in American Kenpo. What are the chances ? :)) You're walking to your car and 3-5 American Kenpo black belts attack you and you're able to identify how many attackers there are. :)) Who are the attackers and who are the spectators. HEH...Attacker #1 comes in with a straight Karate punch to the head, attacker #2 gets in Crouching Tiger stance ready to pounce...
@jimlowe54336 жыл бұрын
As in any endeavor you have to start somewhere. There are those who overplay this role of attacker to the defender. Just as in the learning of the ABC's, you are learning exact motion to a stimulated attack. The difference here is this is MA, and not self defense, as in Krav Maga, MMA, or any "reality" method. But in training, one may change the way he or she trains and place it in a more realistic setting. For each person, a way must be found. Not every path seems the right one. But, of course, this depends on the path one desires to take.

@jimlowe54336 жыл бұрын
I have to answer this one in this context. It is not really odd what you view in most videos. This is how things are explained using the particular ideology, in which the demonstrator is in. This occurs not only in Traditional, but Reality videos as well. Speculation is how many of these work. There is no definitive idea here. It is a mere matter of an idea. A real situation is Chaos, pure and simple. The ideas you see in some videos is what can work if everything works out. But everyone knows there are so many factors involved, this will never be the case.

@@jimlowe5433 I am sure you been in fights, and your fighting is good, however, when your in fights your opponent never reacts the way you train, with that in mind, we train one thing to another. A person who is the attacker helps us understand what step we can do or is a possibility. Does not mean it is written in stone. If i taught a knife attack to you i am not just going to stab you, i am going to give you instruction when i am finished you can move in multiple ways not just what i showed you as a foundation.
