There is a HUGE difference between "fighting" and self defense. The human weapon can only attack so many ways ..down to basics ...hits..kicks...throws and wrestling ...sure locks and bites...but that's it. Jump in an mma ring you got strikes throws and wrestling ... A technique is not for a ring its not even for squaring off with someone ...its for some crack head who grabs or pushes etc....and the most important of all is to move...DO SOMETHING. I don't care which art you study doing something is better than deer in headlights
Jeez. 12 years ago. I was thinking for some reason, it was more recent. Really like Potter's instruction. He's a bit like Speakman Sensei, in that you have the inclination to 'trust' what he's saying and demonstrating. Really like how the class is a solid 'mix' of male, female, and size. With so much misinformation about what's bad and what's good in martial arts, sometimes you wonder if ANYone remembers what made them want to seek out a martial arts class. People, who remember, will often go with American Kenpo.
Awareness is the key! If your paying attention when the person attacks you you'll catch em. Plus you have one opportunity to knock me out or kill me and if you don't succeed the first chance you get I'm on that ass. Don't care what you say, I'm not one of them nice politically correct Kenpo dudes. I work with combative people and get paid to do this. Don't judge a whole system on a few people...tha'ts a very good way to end up with broken bones. Strike Fast, Strike Hard Strike, Strike Often
@borobei it depends on the instructor. jeff speakman and larry tatum are great teachers and very effectrive and the tracy brothers. but some EPAK instructors teach it in what could be called less effective / realistic but of course that is my opinion and may or may not reflect actual fact. Some would say based on my opinions i am anti-parker but in fact that is the opposite. i have a lot of respect for him. i just disagree with some things in EPAK, not that i am all that great either.
Great video and great conversation between Goh and sol. Bodhidarma meditated for nine years on the issue of, is it morally acceptable to cause harm to another that is trying to harm you? He determined that it was and that led to the 18 sets of Lohan, the birth of all set martial arts.
@borobei that is a difficult question to answer with a yes or no answer. unlike bruce lee or adriano emperado when parker created epak he did it without much thought i do not believe as to structure since his kenpo is incomplete having achieved only brown belt under GM Chow. by parker's own words EPAK is only 10% Chow kenpo tells me that 90% of it is not kenpo so why call it kenpo in the first place if it is only 10% Kenpo. Some Sensei teach EPAK better than others and are effective.
@borobei if you mean traditional kenpo as in GM Chow's kenpo i am not sure if there are any who teach commercially. kara-ho kenpo people maybe since that is the last version of his art he was working on before he passsed away. Emperado style Kajukenbo has a lot of Chow's Kenpo in it. My dad taught traditional Hawaiian Kenpo but he no longer teaches anymore. Round Rock kenpo.in austin Texas.is connected to my dad. i dont really teach kenpo that much since I do other stuff as well.
Edward Koo ...3rd dan American Kenpo... also owns and is chief instructor of the dojo, which is where the series is recorded... "Master Ken" also holds black belts in okinawan and American kenpo as well... Talented fellows eh haha...!
@theshak06 Even though Parker was taught Kenpo by Grandmaster Chow in the late 1940's Ed parker used that same excuse saying he was being "progressive". With one stroke of the pen, Ed Parker declared that everything that had been taught for the last 2,000 years was now obsolete. To explain his new system, Ed Parker invented a pseudo erudite new language, which is laughingly called "Kenponics." To hide the fact his EPAK theories and principles that are unsound and in some cases absurd.
I like this variant,I have a different expression in my videos which are shortly upcoming on my Channel.I like how this technique is done quickly and efficiently and definitely has the advantage of surprise.Well done!
@theshak06 Emperado style Kajukenbo still maintains for the most part the original authentic traditional Kenpo as taught to Emperado by Chow.as opposed to EPAk and its various offshoots.
I understand the use of contact when sparring but there is no need to continuously hit someone in the face for a demo. The uke is either afraid or too brainwashed to do anything about it & the instructor is disrespectful. I'd break that SOB's jaw it he did it more than once to me. By the way, this is how you know you are in a bullshit style. Yeah contact is made in real martial arts but it's under specific conditions, not for demonstrating a technique to a class, not like this.
@hkdharmon in chow's original authentic traditional kenpo the first lkaw of the law of the fist was simplicty followed by street realism since he referred to his art as a war art. His student Adriano Emperado carried this philosophy into kajukenbo but Edmund Parker did not carry it over into EPAK.
@GohModley Don't you? He is your example. It's not the violence. It's the discernment. Sometimes in order to stop violence, you have to use force. Force is not violence. Violence is a spiritual state. A policeman who saves a life it's not acting violently, it's fulfilling his duty and doing good. Jesus acted perfectly, because he was inspired by the Love of His Father and teaching a lesson to low spirits. He didn't really harmed them. That's why I think you understand the real purpose of the art
@naumutroi Oh i completely agree, some of the latter techniques in EPAK are just ridiculous. One thing that seriously disturbs me is the lack of techniques against knife attacks and the ones that are there are just awful but more importantly dangerous. I have seen videos of black belts performing these techniques and it worries me to think that they believe they would actually work. I think in the last 10 years kenpoist are beginning to see these flaws and are exploring ways of improving.
@naumutroi This is why there has been a huge explosion of different kenpo associations in the past 10 years or so. Im think EPAK has some rubbish in it but for me its a base to get your brain thinking and challenging ideas. There are some they follow it like a religion when really its merely a beginners guide on the whole grand scheme of things. Technique should spontaneous now prescribed and the syllabus treated almost as lego pieces that you piece together given the situation.
@naumutroi i am commenting on some versions of EPAk as it is taught by some instructors, however. sensei speakman displays some very good eskrima skills.
@naumutroi My problem is there are instructors that dont have a fucking clue and teach unrealistic and dangerous knife techniques. There are two types of knife attackers, those who simply want to scare and those with the full intention to kill you. A lot of knife techniques are against the former while the latter tends to be ignored. The latter will keep moving forward grabbing and stabbing very quickly. View videos with any attackers with intend, its scary stuff but the truth.
@naumutroi It all depends on the situation but honestly your best chance is to strike first and if you sense it coming i.e. a headbutt, fucking jam your fingers in their eyes or go for the throat. Its basic but boy does it work.
What's keeping the attacker from punching you in the face with his left fist (referring to the first scenario or non-variation)... you say you "cancel his width" by stepping back, but from what I see, the attacker could very easily just respond to that with a left power punch to your face. I would have like to seen a better addressing of that left fist that was chambered and ready to pop.
Thats better. The original pulls every punch in our sligthly turned head, while our hands ara unable to protect. Maybe we even provoke the punch/ headgrab.
@theshak06 i tell my students the same thing or to target the throat with a tiger mouth strike instead of reacting first to do a hard inside block. hard inside blocks i do not stress. when a guy grabs your lapel or grabs your shirt the expectation is that their next action is a sucker punch or a head butt or a attempt to a grapple. Backing off, blocking before you attack is wasting time.
@theshak06 thats the thing, my uncle showed Parker the right and proper way to deal with a knife in regards to FMA and when you look at the EPAK defences against a knife or stick it looks like what my uncle told him went in one ear and out the other. i dont even think that judoka would ever defend against a knife or stick that.poorly since Judo from Jujutsu is a samurai art and thus a weapons art and Parker was a Judo black belt unless however he was a sport judoka.
As soon as you hit that arm you can kiss his fist with your front teeth. This is not realistic at all. If somebody grabs you, you dont chase his arm...but hit him on the nose! Thats the only thing that works...Keep it simple cuz its simple!
@GohModley I know. I saw in your channel that you are a veteran, and that's why I don't feel that this is a win. You learned the hard way and that's worthy of respect. I don't blame you if you are not sure if you have to defend yourself ot not. My goal is to be capable of defend me and others without harming anyone and without loosing my peace of mind. I hope you can realize you can use this, like Jesus did. I'm sure you can :)
I think this is good, but what do you do, have he gets the grab, which is mostly likely will happen before you can react. He is chasing the hand, he should attack the man first.
@borobei Well im still studying it myself currently. The forms are now quite rare but look for rathgar kenpo ireland. The videos our some of the original forms, you can see similarities but i still consider them better forms all round. One or two of the videos dont work, dont know why. Its a very tough old school club that demands spontaneous technique rather than prescribed.
Kenpo over the years has slowly but surely been diluted especially when it was commercialised with Ed Parker. I myself have been a Kenpo Practioner for nearly 15 years and have practiced Epak, Sub Level 4 Kenpo and Traditonal Kenpo and have taken much from each but I dont feel individually they make a full system and i also get this from kenpo 5.0 (i hate that name). I advise anyone practicing to not be stubborn and be open to other ideas as if you dont you will never develop.
@naumutroi I'm all up for traditional Kenpo if it has been updated for todays street fighting. Another style I fancy trying is Pauls Mills syllabus( AKKI). He has used the EPAK naming system but reduced the number of techniques (getting rid of the crap) and add a few techniques of his own but not too many.
@Spartacus217 It just depends on personal taste & what the instructor permits you to wear. In American kenpo traditionally students wear white uniforms & black belts wear black ones. But in many schools a lot of people will sometimes wear other colors like blue or red or the mixing of different colors. Plus the guy in blue may not even be a kenpo guy. Him and 2 other people are wearing different patches than the rest. The big guy in the back is wearing a jiu-jitsu black belt.
@shotojojo1986 You probably got here because some of the tag words that the “Ameri-Do-Te” guys use for their videos are “American“, “kenpo”, “martial“, and “arts“, just like this one does also. If you look closely at the black uniform that the “Master Ken” guy sometimes wears, on his left side there’s an outline of some sort of kenpo patch.
Give those kids there money back before some bjj white belt or authentic kyushokan karate person whups the tar out of them for trying these fixed opponent Katas
I've never seen any martial artist do this in a fight, or even in play fighting. This is an outdated system, it looks so bad. Study Krav Maga, JKD, MMA or military combatives instead.
In American Kenpo, beginner to intermediate students wear white gi's. Once a student reaches blue belt, most Kenpo dojos allow the students to where black gi's. Once a student reaches a Dan ranking, they begin to cross match black and white if desired. Some schools begin wearing red tops once a black belt reaches 3rd Dan, though Master Parker always wore black most of the time with a few exception in his early days. Mr. Parker was always a proponent of respecting those with more experience.
Why why why, we don't EVER see any of these karate Kenpo or any other martial arts instructors winning any MMA UFC fights or even producing students were winning MMA UFC fights? And the same response or excuses the same, such as... My techniques are too deadly to be put in the octagon... If this is true, how come you guys spar? Or do you even Spar in your classes do you do any sparring at all?. If you spawn your classes and what's the difference between sparring in your dojo, versus sparring in the octagon? Answer?, because you will get your ass kicked that's why
Do not talk without investigating, the UFC is full of Kenpoists. And the techniques are deadly to some extent, but when you execute them you hit points that are penalized in UFC. But you're right, the kenpo of this video is bad. Look for the LTKKA line better. Here the proof in this video ... /watch?v=TVhFQW8OSeI
After UFC became big, kids went straight to MMA gyms. But some of the older fighters started with traditional martial arts. Chuck Liddell has the word "kenpo" tattooed on his shoulder.
wow. Todd got promoted...
Todd is a savage! You know he’s laughing on the inside at these techniques because they would mean nothing against his “Ameridote.” LoL.
*_"And of course, always restomp the groin."_*

Funny thing is you are x10 more times to be attacked by someone you know than someone on the street *unless* there is an influencer in the middle
Actually, that is one of the guys from Enter the dojo.. They are all real martial artist.. Under Jeff Speakman..
Yeah I go to his school I seen him in person
And restomp the groin
I'm here because of Mexican Martial Arts
Todd seems way more comfortable 'Uke-ing' for this guy than being meat for Master Ken!
Dont forget to stomp the groin
Is that The guy from Enter the Dojo web series?
His name is Joe Conway.
Jeez. 12 years ago. I was thinking for some reason, it was more recent. Really like Potter's instruction.

Heh. This goofy shit is why Enter the Dojo got started.

Is that the dude from master ken's videos?
Isn’t that the dude from master ken’s ameri do te?
Amer-Do-Te is amazing.
Never knew Todd knows kenpo
Edward Koo ...3rd dan American Kenpo... also owns and is chief instructor of the dojo, which is where the series is recorded...
"Master Ken" also holds black belts in okinawan and American kenpo as well...
Talented fellows eh haha...!
@shotojojo1986 Ameri-do-to is clearly a parody on Kenpo Karate. Quite nice of Speakman to have his dojo available for the recording of it.
I saw this guy use this move and the bad guy who asked him for some spare change just exploded. This is some effective stuff. 👌

I see a recognizable chunk of the Albuquerque/Santa Fe/ Los Alamos martial arts community in this video.

They should just try instant sword.
Todd's groin just can't catch a break ☺
THAT'S TODD
Thank god he left bullshit martial arts
@hkdharmon ok then for all anyone knows the groin kick will make em jump up and do the "wave" as seen in a ballpark crowd.
@GohModley Good. Now you can truly understand the real purpose of martial arts.
So pretty much Conquering Shield on the inside.
@GohModley When he destroyed the posts of the merchants in the temple.
@naumutroi My problem is there are instructors that dont have a fucking clue and teach unrealistic and dangerous knife techniques.

theshak kenpo is only an introduction of knife defense
Is this the guy who is master kens dummy ?
@naumutroi It all depends on the situation but honestly your best chance is to strike first and if you sense it coming i.e. a headbutt, fucking jam your fingers in their eyes or go for the throat. Its basic but boy does it work.
theshak it’s called self defense not self offense
How many styles of Kenpo are there?
J aime bien..moins de fioritures inutiles
What's keeping the attacker from punching you in the face with his left fist (referring to the first scenario or non-variation)... you say you "cancel his width" by stepping back, but from what I see, the attacker could very easily just respond to that with a left power punch to your face. I would have like to seen a better addressing of that left fist that was chambered and ready to pop.
What the hell is Todd doin
Todd getting his groin restomped... the early days.
Perhaps you could post a video to show the correct way to do it.
🤣 wow
Thats better. The original pulls every punch in our sligthly turned head, while our hands ara unable to protect. Maybe we even provoke the punch/ headgrab.
@theshak06 i tell my students the same thing or to target the throat with a tiger mouth strike instead of reacting first to do a hard inside block. hard inside blocks i do not stress. when a guy grabs your lapel or grabs your shirt the expectation is that their next action is a sucker punch or a head butt or a attempt to a grapple.

lol. He just modified delayed sword to sword of destruction. wow!
Christopher Steedman ah someone’s sees it
@theshak06 thats the thing, my uncle showed Parker the right and proper way to deal with a knife in regards to FMA and when you look at the EPAK defences against a knife or stick it looks like what my uncle told him went in one ear and out the other. i dont even think that judoka would ever defend against a knife or stick that.poorly since Judo from Jujutsu is a samurai art and thus a weapons art and Parker was a Judo black belt unless however he was a sport judoka.
Is that Todd?!!
Nice of the attacker to leave his left hand down in the demos for the second technique. You know, so it doesn't block the hammerfist...
As soon as you hit that arm you can kiss his fist with your front teeth. This is not realistic at all. If somebody grabs you, you dont chase his arm...but hit him on the nose! Thats the only thing that works...Keep it simple cuz its simple!
minasz : I agree with you, in fact I read WW2 combatives taught the same thing to hit first and don't mess around.
minasz I encourage you to try that on him
@GohModley I know. I saw in your channel that you are a veteran, and that's why I don't feel that this is a win. You learned the hard way and that's worthy of respect. I don't blame you if you are not sure if you have to defend yourself ot not. My goal is to be capable of defend me and others without harming anyone and without loosing my peace of mind. I hope you can realize you can use this, like Jesus did. I'm sure you can :)
I’d argue that’s a different technique and not a variation. More like a what if of sword of destruction.
This was actualy a commercial that was shot with a bunch of diferant art ppl involved.
I think this is good, but what do you do, have he gets the grab, which is mostly likely will happen before you can react. He is chasing the hand, he should attack the man first.
what camera are you using? and great video! also, what do the patches meen?
Best part of breaking the clavicle is the enemyoses the entire use of that arm.
@borobei Well im still studying it myself currently. The forms are now quite rare but look for rathgar kenpo ireland. The videos our some of the original forms, you can see similarities but i still consider them better forms all round. One or two of the videos dont work, dont know why. Its a very tough old school club that demands spontaneous technique rather than prescribed.
@MediumSizedCrane Thanks! It's always hard to know if one is acting right sometimes. That's the point where spiritual grow really begins. :)
Kenpo over the years has slowly but surely been diluted especially when it was commercialised with Ed Parker. I myself have been a Kenpo Practioner for nearly 15 years and have practiced Epak, Sub Level 4 Kenpo and Traditonal Kenpo and have taken much from each but I dont feel individually they make a full system and i also get this from kenpo 5.0 (i hate that name).

This is the dojo from the web show "Enter the Dojo!"
does master ken know ur teaching a bullshit martial art in his prestigious ameri-do-te academy???
The dude being demonstrated on stars on enter the dojo!
@naumutroi I'm all up for traditional Kenpo if it has been updated for todays street fighting. Another style I fancy trying is Pauls Mills syllabus( AKKI). He has used the EPAK naming system but reduced the number of techniques (getting rid of the crap) and add a few techniques of his own but not too many.
@Spartacus217 It just depends on personal taste & what the instructor permits you to wear. In American kenpo traditionally students wear white uniforms & black belts wear black ones.

Plus the guy in blue may not even be a kenpo guy. Him and 2 other people are wearing different patches than the rest. The big guy in the back is wearing a jiu-jitsu black belt.
@theshak06 do you know anybody that still teaches traditional kenpo that has a video or demonstration?
we hear this all the time. yeah yeah yeah whatever you say.
@DementedDegsy I have seen that too so i often tell people your best to go for the eyes.
so basically american kenpo is not really effective?
American Kenpo- LTKKA is the real good kenpo in the world
borobei opinions are like assholes.. everyone’s got one
I'm with you on that one. I'd like to ad to the list, other real-time combatives, like wrestling, judo, boxing and kickboxing.
@theshak06 very scary
@shotojojo1986 You probably got here because some of the tag words that the “Ameri-Do-Te” guys use for their videos are “American“, “kenpo”, “martial“, and “arts“, just like this one does also. If you look closely at the black uniform that the “Master Ken” guy sometimes wears, on his left side there’s an outline of some sort of kenpo patch.
the little boy is impressed lol.
It is heard eagerly.
Todd...?
Pugglen that's what I was wondering. Why is Todd here?
Use the tiger claw!
Give those kids there money back before some bjj white belt or authentic kyushokan karate person whups the tar out of them for trying these fixed opponent Katas
slimmy thompson lolololololololol
slimmy thompson push here for live demo
Rare indeed.
I've never seen any martial artist do this in a fight, or even in play fighting. This is an outdated system, it looks so bad. Study Krav Maga, JKD, MMA or military combatives instead.
Lol!! Gay!! I like how he uses “medical terminology” lol!!! Gay!!!
