I have a 2nd degree in this style. I will say, now that I have have practiced mixed martial arts for several years after receiving that honor, that about 30% of the system is actually street effective. The basics are strong and I have used some of the techniques from this style in real life scenarios that has saved me from serious harm. The takeaway is that this is not a fake martial art. Embellished? Yes. Effective? Definitely.

[@DubTreys]

there's a lot of stuff in kenpo that can be "not so effective," but in my experience kenpo is one of the most practical arts ever created IF you're training to actually fight with it...a lot of the cross-walking and things like that aren't very practical, but using the striking mechanics and patterns of kenpo in the context of something like MMA can be absolutely devastating...but you're right, there's definitely some pseudoscience that gets espoused - especially on a move like lone kimono, where they say the under-arm strike will break the elbow...in most cases, it won't, not even close lol...but again, kenpo revolutionized my entire approach to martial arts and while i mix a LOT of other stuff in, everything i do is firmly rooted in the principles of speed, power, and body mechanics i learned in kenpo...i may roll into a hammer fist instead of a psiform strike, or a back knuckle versus a crane's beak, but the mechanics are still functionally the same

[@DubTreys]

@@JoseGonzalez-gg6rs i mix a lot of boxing punches into my kenpo as well! what i noticed is that when you do that, it starts to look an awful lot like the high-speed versions of JKD you see out there...

[@MrBracey100]

I suppose like many things it gets watered down as it moves further out from its origin but much like the Gracies, Parker pressure tested his stuff in real fights.

[@drfistface]

I keep watching Kempo videos and it feels like doing a wordsearch trying to find the hidden good parts. I will admit that training a reaction to a movement with a combination and training your body to respond with speed is good - but 9/10 kempo combinations involve the attacker going comatose for six seconds while standing like a scarecrow. I see it as being about 10% effective but I have done very little Kempo- Can you tell me some resources so can find the other missing 20% of effectivness you are referring to? I am especially interested in the super close quarter power. I am not at all impressed with making extra noise with a gi or with my mouth for theatrics. Thanks

[@nleippe]

@@drfistface check out akki.com. closest to the kenpo origin you can get is with Mr. Mills. He moves just like Mr. Parker and has been able to reproduce the same in his students. They have several videos in their channel linked from their page. He and several of his students battle tested every thing they teach working as bouncers in bars for decades. Highly effective--even better motion than what's been shown in this video.

[@davestuart8864]

Ed Parker was one of the greats, Kenpo is a very effective art beautiful and deadly.

[@AJRHF]

At 3:28 the woman sparring is my instructor!

[@AventusEntertainment]

Love it Keep Mr. Parkers Vibe alive!!!

[@Univox68]

This video is probably one of the only that I've seen that show the true power and technique of American Kenpo. These guys and gals know the way it should be done. Thanks for sharing.

[@BODYBAGxPAT]

@Gazpacho97 @Gazpacho97 don't you love how the attackesr stand there reacting to every strike like it's so devastating they can't move... and I love how in some the middle of the techniques the guy doing techniques literally have both arms up in the air. And the sparring is atrocious. If they went harder and used punches and n boxing blocks I'd say it be effective sparring, but they want to play freezetag

[@kladius5]

I studied Kenpo. And WOW. What a difference from Shotokan.

[@BBb-id9kj]

Kenpo is a blitz attack that overwhelms and shocks the opponent. Speed is the key.

[@240fxst]

Amazing power accuracy effectiveness a self defense system .

[@wesdanakes8386]

Thanks for putting it for us to learn & enjoy👍

[@jimmybarr1050]

I am just learning Kenpo Karate at my martial arts school! We teach real life situations. I like this form of Martial Art a lot and hope to become a black belt in a few years.

[@ninjakaydaryu]

esse mestre é autentico. muito bom

[@bryandavila3006]

Why is there not a movie made about Ed Parker he brought so much to martial arts I say make movie about staring Jeremy Renner as Ed Parker ? You guys all with me

[@julmax0075]

Very nice... impressive...just keep on practice to master it...coz practice makes perfect...ooooossssss.

[@SecretsOfMartialArts]

Good tribute. Thank you!

[@darlenedunlap7650]

It also talking ones soup spirit and life force with each blow. That some Nasty Shit he throwing. The force is real and Strong.

[@sMiLeR_thewatcher]

Finally a video not showing thousands of slap happy swatting a million bees around you Kenpo, that a lot show these days. The real fast techniques with a lot of movement still have that sort of slappy look but far more visible that they are using a mix of hand strikes.

[@rodericksibelius8472]

This style is great supplement to Shotokan and Kyukoshin Karate for its relaxed and fancy ways of movement. for great exercise.

[@IAMSEYMOURMUSIC]

I like how the guy makes kung fu noises every time he gets hit 🤣

ONE OF MY GOOD FRIENDS, HIS FATHER WAS ONE OF ED PARKERS TEACHERS. HE ALSO TAUGHT MIKE STONE, ONE OF ELVIS PRESSLYS BODY GUARDS WHO TAUGHT ELVIS KARATE. ALSO HE TAUGHT AL DACOSCOS.

When I won the IKKA east coast championship I get kicked in the nuts, Master Parker tried giving me a chocolate bar but I wasn't hungry.... I was 10 at the time. He was a great man

[@xlthumper]

This is hilarious. Thank you for sharing your childhood memory. I hope your nuts recovered fully

[@kyomoto820]

When the actual fight with the martial art expert opponent the kenpo movement or the tappings is gone,, its always kicking and punching,

[@herickwerneck3072]

Fatality!😮😊

[@renatomazzella3293]

Looks awesome.. but what meaning does it have when the student just sits there taking blows

[@BODYBAGxPAT]

Lol no shit. They are spending time learning how to get hit, its ridiculous.

[@anthonysicily5768]

I take it you have never taken a Kenpo lesson or have even been to a single class to watch? The answer to your question start with the words, “body physic”......

[@anthonysicily5768]

@Jay Ryan it means they are a training partner, and are going through the technique for form. Free form sparring is very messy, realistic but messy, and is too consuming to try basic positions. This is why even in BJJ these moves are taught positionally first, before students are allowed to roll.

[@DavidLee-no9uc]

Your comment reflects your knowledge level. In every system of Martial Arts "TRAINING" we take turns practicing techniques on each other with passive & a aggressive partners. "Taking blow's" can be chalked up to "conditioning!",...

[@IAMSEYMOURMUSIC]

@@anthonysicily5768 I've been in so many fights over my whole lifetime I have PTSD, if that helps. You dont need to take a kenpo class to tell if it's voodoo nonsense, you just need to get the sense beaten out of you a few times to realise all this staged and rehearsed slapping is completely pointless insofar as actual fighting is concerned, lol

[@charlesbukowski9836]

can you use this moves/technique to the likes of Mayweather or Pacquiao..??🤔🤔🤔

[@seranodefranco1203]

Kenpo is a perfect weapon, but need passion to learn Kenpo is difficult and very dangerous need techniques and speed first is very deadly technique. The Kenpo comes from Osaka Japan shimbukan dojo the best dojo in the world

Pulling strikes in practice = pulling strikes in a real fight.

[@robertmedsker5305]

Have of it only works if they don't move. From 40 yrs training if you don't move with the explosive power like parker or Tatum them honestly.. good luck..

[@davidmickles5012]

I recognize the continuous strikes and counter (flow) strikes as Kenpo but leaving the arms open or extended does not look like Ed Parker Kenpo to me. Also, my own teacher came out of his system in the 60's & 70's, and the weak pulled strikes here were not part of it. The Kenpo I experienced from my teacher was HARD and serious even in drills and sparring. The principles are there in this video but the application or delivery is not honest at all. Hard impact training is a fundamental hallmark of Parker Kenpo and is one reason those OGs were not someone to mess with. Its lacking here

[@followingfist6]

@1:07 We have to get away with step through punches, lapel grabs, etc. We must evolve to defending modern street attacks. We look pretty, but we're not fighting.

[@db90990]

I'm sure Ed Parker felt Privileged & Fortunate that Bruce Lee graced his Tournaments & no doubt Bruce felt honored to be allowed to demonstrate his skills with Ed in Long Beach.

[@DavidLee-no9uc]

You actually got it backwards, Ed Parker was a established Famous Martial Artist. Bruce Lee was relatively new to the US and unknown untill he asked Mr. Parker if he could demonstrate his style at Ed Parkers long Beach Internationals. .. Bruce Lee is a noted "Film Star", Ed Parker is a noted Martial Artist / Instructors, don't let your obvious emotional attraction for Bruce Lee cloud the facts. If anyone should feel Priveliged & Fortunate" it should be Bruce Lee & his admirers for GM Ed Parkers recognition.

[@db90990]

@@DavidLee-no9uc u misunderstood what I was saying, ed was fantastic bruce knew it and he knew bruce was awesome too in fact ed once said of bruce, "bruce lee is one in a billion" referring to his uniqueness as a martial artist, they were friends with mutual respect and admiration and Both felt and were privileged just as ed and elvis both were privileged fortunate and blessed.

[@chrisc9745]

I love kenpo. It is a very beautiful system. It is very fun. I have studied many arts over 25 years and kenpo has been one of my favorites. With that said it is almost a useless system. It is easy to become delusional about your ability based on how good you look in trainng. Everytime you see kenpo guys training vs sparring there is a crazy difference. When training they are fast and accurate and do all the fancy movement. When they spar even at high belt levels they look like 6 year olds in a tae kwon do class and they use no e of the fancy techniques.. Because as stated its mostly useless. You should train and perfect what works and what you use when sparring which is foot work, timing, distance, body and head movement, punching, kickicking, knees and elbows. All the rest of the time you are just wasting time at perfecting useless movement therefore kenpo is mostly useless.

Martial arts is for self defense only. Ufc is human cockfighting. But yes this does work go try jeff speakman who trains ufc fighters that are training in every aspect of kung fu and making it there own then you have jeet kun do. Don't speak unless you know.

[@walkingthroughgame145]

In ufc don't allow hit in eye's ripping your mouths and the list go on that is kenpo

[@Carpetslipper]

@Jay Ryan and the reason we don’t see you in the ufc is because of your anti steroid taking integrity? Nothing to do with ability or toughness? Just checking like….

[@Carpetslipper]

@Jay Ryan …..which are not the reasons you site for those that do it. Weak minded and too scared are two of your suggestions. I think your reasons for not doing it are of course valid but perhaps a little unfair to call those prepared weak minded, scared individuals when most would suggest they are opposite, steroid usage aside ( given steroids permeate many sports)

They can end all the techniques with an elbow to the head in the 2nd-3rd strike but choose to slap their hands like it really works... and then they'll spin around the guy twice..... why? This art could be so straight forward and to the point but they get off on themselves slapping 44 times. Not realistic one bit.
