[@professorl.hilton.]

Kenpo is a MA of concepts, I have trained and taught for over 40 years, I always respect and admire Master Steve Mohammed 👍 We faced each other in 72 as warriors. Steve came out the Victor one of my best memories is losing to him.

[@goyneser1]

Well Said. Thank You

[@thomasfahey8314]

The opening footwork is the thing I see as most unique in this style of Kenpo. Dynamic indeed. 🙏

I've been a martial arts fan a long time, instructor, it just amazing me with all this videos. Wish i had more of these back in the day before google.Trained in aikido, kickboxing, olympic style TKD, Gracies BJJ, MMA, and still researching all the ole school and new techniques. Sanders aint no joke either. Fast!

I remember Steve and Carl Sanders way back in the day when I fought at CKC Four Season and Internationals. Nothing more radical than black belt team fighting. Clearly some of the best in the world

[@realtalk9169]

This guy played the instructor in Jim Kelly's School in the beginning of Enter the Dragon who was leading the class before he turned it over to his Junior instructor of black belt named Donnie Williams. This guy also fought Hong Kong action star Bruce l i in the movie titled "Magic Sticks" which included Dan In Santo.

Very good for close quarter combat, yes, very good for street defence, i particularly like the use of both hands, to block divert and strike i do know its very affective, in close quarter situations, keeping guard up using other hand to continually deflect even when striking and using both hands at all times yes its affective, learning energy blocks and strikes does take a little longer , some people do have natural ability , others must become aware there is spiritual element when directing this energy , yes i used to train for many yeas, its very good to learn open handed techniques as well as closed technique, one must learn to feel the technique, , we used to train under many scenario's, as i say this particular form affective if learnt correctly for street self defence,

[@1sirgrandmastermrkingrober216]

At about 6:52 in this Instructional video I immediately thought..”where do I send the paycheck to for these important lesson”?. Because this Martial Art taught here definitely “will save your life”, every time..& always. And this type of Teaching is rarely seen outside of their DoJo’, containing outstanding techniques that bring the practitioner mountains of strength & good health, & excellent philosophy for life & a good way to live your life, thank you. Your work is never lost, Sensei.

[@imasmiharbi842]

Steve Muhammad was a great champion in the early tournaments when Kenpo was becoming popularized in the mainland United States.

[@JohnJohnson-pq4qz]

yea, because it got humiliated in the early 1990s when this thing called BJJ revolutionized fighting and self defense. Punching the air and waving your hands around has never been the same. But it survives on TV, where it belongs.

[@alanbone5512]

I would recommend this style of martial art, even though i did not practice this style,, i can see many great features in this discipline, i do know when this was made you can tell techniques, were slowed down for camera's and angles, well thought out what i will say to anyone, considering learning, always seek out a dojo, school, with history and find out the teachers teacher, and their teachers,, each style has something to offer,, if your prepared to put in the time and dedication, and also the suffering, that will come with it , but remember, each person training with you, has got to get up go to school, work, or tend to their families in the morning, , always respect your dojo, your art, your style, your students, practitioner's, that train alongside you, learn to respect yourself, then you can also respect others, , too, remember each style has something to offer, , but do not be deluded , it takes hard work on your part, martial arts saved my life many times. Over the years, train until it becomes second nature, , become aware of your surroundings take nothing for granted, walk away from trouble if you can, run if yiu can, live, but if you cannot do either of those, at least you stand a little chance, but always seek out the best teachers instructors,, from this video i can tell this man knows his stuff, very affective in street situation it depends what you want to learn,. Some people just like the forms to stay fit , the katas, using imaginary opponents, but to do it properly find a school dojo that can also apply those katas forms in real life situations then you will understand the techniques even more, instead of just learning the set movements, ,, 8 wish each new beginner the dedication needed, and spirit needed to excel, , each style as something to offer, its finding the right instructor sensei, this one i can recommend,

[@user-od2ki7zt7w]

My background is Shotokan karate, boxing and MMA mixed with some sambo. In my opinions , some of the techniques shown here can be very practical in a real fight, if their length can be shorten to contain no more than 3 strikes/hits, since like in boxing, a human being would usually allow his opponent strike/hit him three times the most before he reacts. Otherwise the opponent would begin to look like a dummy and the sequences become unrealistic, which is what the critics of this system scold the most.

[@followingfist6]

Good upload. This is classic. He moves very different from this now-a-days. Techniques and footwork have been upgraded a.lot. Im prob ,4th or 5th generation and he didnt give me these techniques. I gotta whole new bag.

[@narrowpathmartialarts8732]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@duanemiller567]

No disrespect, but I notice some techniques performed he draws his hand back (telegraphs) look at the strike to the temple.. Why?

[@thomasfahey8314]

I believe there may be elements of feint and parry here that apply when practiced in continuous motion. I'm only speculating however.

[@rexlucas5498]

Mr Muhammad very respectful and probably did not want to accidentally strike this kid. It was the 60s I think.

[@raygsbrelcik5578]

Careful not to, "Telegraph" your punches, or kicks.

[@laron_t_green]

How old is this film?

[@narrowpathmartialarts8732]

[@hollowbodydreaming3104]

Question ask with the utmost respect for all who train: Is this considered American Kenpo? There seems to be some subtle differences in the striking techniques from Okinawa Kenpo.

[@narrowpathmartialarts8732]

BKF Kenpo

[@peterscottodonnell7290]

This real kempo from shoalin ,not American kempo.

[@stansenter2660]

That's an interesting "perspective" on your part, alternatively, after more than 25 years of studying a few different instructors and their "styles" of the system EPAK, this looks intimately familiar to what I've been doing for so long. Unless there's an extra arm or leg in there somewhere, I saw nothing "new", timing, methods of execution, paths and lines of action, same. The only real "complaint", if you can call it that, is I'd have like to see more definitive contact from the instructor on the experienced black belt student. Otherwise, awesome refresher on the elements of basic motion. "Good basics is good karate, good karate is good basics".

[@tonyvalente]

The real fighters went to full contact, these guys stayed in a high school gym collecting valueless trophies.

[@followingfist6]

Full contact fighters get trophies too. Real value is not what you see per se, but what you learn from your confrontation about yourself expression. BTW....real fighter will not criticize another's way of fighting if it works for that person. Instead they will look to see what tool they can use from that way, and put in their tool box.

@@daniel-san836 Yeah a bit here and there. Started with Shotokan Karate, did Tang Soo Do for a few years, doing Filipino Martial Arts off and on over the years. I understand you wouldn't aim to block or take a strike with open and loose fingers but at the point of interception or parrying you're generally not using your fingers but further up, back of hands or palm, wrists and forearms.

What do you mean by 'clean'? Is it supposed to look pretty or something?

[@daniel-san836]

​@@Jazzman-bj9fq no, i'm not talking about it needing to look pretty. it actually does that quite alright. i'm talking about things like the other comment i made "fingers extended out separated and facing the opponent" (definite no-no) and other unnecessary movements in a given technique, forget double handling being a known inefficiency, this kenpo goes into quad-triple handling. but obviously it's old as so it hasn't had the chance to evolve like modern Kenpo/Kempo has. that being said, this guy's no doubt definitely still lethal as f**k

[@Jazzman-bj9fq]

@@daniel-san836 Yeah I noticed he does alot of double clutching here, maybe a little too much unnecessary counter movements. I don't know if it's a characteristic of the art itself or this particular practitioner. But what I noticed though is some of the counter movements with the opposite hand that he strikes with could be with the aim to generate power. Equal and opposite reaction physics type of thing.

[@pausetape8824]

It's because his Kenpo Karate is very urban he has always been this way because in the hood stuff is very different real talk 💯💯💯💯💯💯 So he and the BKF took this form of Kenpo to Streets for more practicality purposes. So yes of course it's going to look different.
