@@JoseGonzalez-gg6rs Yes. But I would be critical of the type of kick. A basic round low leg kick or teep would probably be best I think. Basic and effective for controlling distance.

I’ve been studying Chinese Kenpo for around six years, and am working on the next belt. And you are absolutely right. Most if not all Martial Arts are really just fighting *Theory* . No training in Kung Fu, Karate, Krav, or even BJJ will guarantee a win in a real fight. Sparring is the closest one can get to a test of real combat.

​@@mvib1604What is kumite like in Chinese Kenpo?

Bruce Lee and Mr Parker were friends and they trained together. Bruce lee demonstrated one of his ideas at a Kenpo tournament in Long Beach which is where someone got in contact with Bruce to Become Kato in the Green Hornet

A salesman no doubt, who took advantage of the mystic martial arts trend in the 70's. However by the time of his death, he had refined his art until it was one of the most practical, scientific and effective arts out there.

are you joking? American kenpo is ridiculous and useless. he did refine it as a cult and a successful business though.

I am going to assume you trained in Parkers Kenpo for you to be making that statement and that you are not being nasty just to make yourself feel good. When and where did you train and under who? What other arts have you trained in. Have you ever faced an American Kenpoist in the ring?

Tracy's Kenpo comes from Ed PArker's Kenpo. and both are the same useless garbage. it's not Kung Fu, it's not KArate.

You learn by real contact. By practicing techniques many , many, many times against people of all different sizes and shapes The attack much be real. Not necessarily full speed, but such that if you don't get offline and counter/ block you will get smacked. I've seen many practitioner who play at point sparring or spar only under a fixed set of conditions, yet couldn't, when it counts, fight their way out of a wet paper bag.

When sparring happens all this crap goes out the window. In a streetfight also.

it's also not Karate

Can you translate Karate without using Google ?

Actually he took some of the forms from Chinese martial arts

All Kenpo/Kempo come from James Mitose in Hawaii. Mitose seems to have gotten much of his stuff from Okinawan Shorin Ryu; despite his claims about learning it in a temple. Much of the Kung Fu influence came from other people like William Chow Kara Ho Kempo a student of Mitose. I believe Chow learn Hung Gar from his father.

Remember the Gracies sell a product, and all other MA's are competators to their bottomline

When Ralph Gracie's jujitsu can take on multiple opponents, then they have something to brag about. Otherwise, it is half an art. Anyone who would go to the ground against multiple opponents would wind up dead before very long.

who the F is Ralph Gracie? LOL! this video was taken around the same time Helio Gracie was being dominated in Japanese Judo.

Exactly. They are just fans who sit on their asses and talk shit on a keyboard.

Jaguar Strikes Again I totally agree

william beck finally it seems like somebody who knows how to make sense of a good situation too many idiots on UA-cam

Totally agree

@@kungfusansootsoilihofuthun8895 The most effective style of karate is Goju Ryu because it can be stand up or a grappling art . Morio Higaonna would hand those two clowns in the video their heads .

+Tango Delta 2 You have to keep in mind the historical aspect of both this video and the training. Do we know more today? Yes. Does Karate / Kung-Fu translate into real fighting.... depends on who the teacher is. There are plenty of MMA fighters (MMA is often used as a benchmark) who still train and use traditional arts. More so today than ever before.

The supposed "historical aspect" of traditional martial arts, was supposed to be that they were forged on the battle fields for hundreds if not thousands of years. Of course, if that were the case, then they would have known that this stuff above is useless. So, it looks to me that gullible westerners were simply sold a bill of goods.

@@Dan.50 actually the idea that pure submission wrestling or sport style is superior is what will get you killed in combat. the stuff shown here is exactly the same as mma, except geared toward real life or death conflict. USA did get the short end of the stick tho, because martial arts started being more about sport and show in the 1920's and didn't get popular in the US until 50's and 60's. So alot of americans don't know the difference between show style and the real deal, but the real deal beats sports style by a landslide. And the real deal is Kung Fu.

+Tango Delta 2 LOL. Sorry, have you ever been a personal body guard for a celebrity? How about training with Bruce Lee? Or been to the bad part of Hawaii where they will kill one another for simply tailgating? When you say 'pure garbage' I think you are talking about yourself.

***** Sorry, that last bit probably wasn't necessary. He really was a legend, and he was very humble. He wasn't someone to brag, or try to do some 'fancy' BS like so many 'martial arts' do. My Dad was trained by him throughout the 80's. The stories he tells me just makes me angry when I see comments like the one above.

***** Very cool! Yea, my Dad was explaining how he was so fast with his movements for being so big. But his hits were.... Like a freight train.

Tango Delta 2 ?????ok

Pure ignorance....

+Ricardo Diaz You do realize that Kenpo is a Japanese translation of Quan Fa/Kung Fu/Gung Fu right?

The Japanese trem is call kempo spell this way and the closest thing to the Japanese style of kempo is call shorin ryu Kempo in which is in Okinawa and that style teaches originally about 10 to 15 different types of weapons besides the karate katas

+Ricardo Diaz It can be translated as Kenpo or Kempo. My point is Kenpo/Kempo is a Japanese/Okinawan term that is applied to imported Chinese Martial Arts and so Kenpo styles use their own versions of things like Hung Gar. Plus Ed Parker borrowed heavily from Chinese Martial Arts as he developed his own style and may well have adopted Hung Gar exercise forms into his style.

The two man set appeared in Ed Parker's "Secret of Chinese Karate" Jimmy Woo contributed heavily to this work. This was the early days of Ed Parker's Kenpo system and sure enough it is Hung Gar or Hung Kuen. The Kenpo that Ed Parker learned from William Chow had no sets or forms.

+bAbYkEkONA I've never heard anyone in the lineage of Ed Parker deny that he took from and adapted other arts. That's why he called it American Kenpo.

And the best form in the system.

Lol. Kempo is the fighting style created by Shoalin monks and spread throughout Asia. Kung-fu actually refers to the artistic side of it the soft style and kenpo is the hard core self defense. So if you call it Kung-fu karate kenpo or whatever it's actually just variations evolutions and individual expressions of one thing Shoalin martial arts. Booom

Well said, This is very early, very young Ed Parker, Kenpo at the time of his death was a much more economical and effective art than seen here or when Tracy split off. As an original American Kenpo practitioner (who is now a 9th degree) once asked me, what is the difference between fast and quick? If someone knows the answer, then they are part way to understanding martial ART

Kenpo has no true Okinawan , Chinese or Japanese lineage . Choki Motubo of Okinawan Kenpo , would hand those clowns their heads after decapitating their testicles .

@@michaelgalose8956 Check out Mitoses’ cover of his book “What Is Self-Defense?” Compare the crest with Robert Trias’ symbol on the wall of his early dojo. Trias if you’ll recall was the father of Okinawan Karate here in the USA. Mitose was a fellow instructor with William Chow, who was the instructor of Ed Parker. I think you’ll find both symbols are the same. The lineages have the same roots. Yes, Motobu was a big man and unafraid. So was Mr Parker. In Motubu’s introductory book, he wrote; “I am inclined to believe that this art was taught by Chinese men since there were many contacts made between Rykukyu and China from ancient days.” p.15

Yes, it is Chuck Sullivan. You can find a full description of the footage here: www.martialmoves.com/blog/gm-ed-parker-early-footage/
