Love seeing all the different ways the techniques are done. So amazing how Kenpo is designed around the person's body and ability to the point that by the time you reach brown belt it becomes YOUR Kenpo. Haven't seen 2 advanced Kenpo students in my experience that looked the same doing a technique. Love how Attitude makes Kenpo work. Great video again.
Do you view these techniques as choreography or as actual fighting? I think Kenpo would be better if we looked at it as the former - in my experience, people take these techniques too literally. I'd be interested to hear your thoughts, cheers man.
But what if the guy moves before you do your spinning elbow? Like, what if he has a follow up to this first punch or, throws a Jab the way its supposed to be thrown?
Then you adapt. Techniques are case studies to teach us those possibilities patterns of motion and concepts. In application you do what you have to do to make it work. Notice thst in this particular case study we move outside (blind side and away from the other hand (backup weapon)
I've never seen someone plan and execute a jab catch and its not like the cross isn't coming anyway(or in muay thai a knee, elbow or teep) theyre better off sticking to the jiu jitsu portion of the curriculum.

I like how the dude in the background is trying to follow along but as soon as he does the spin he like "what the hell?"
Reverse motion & control will never let you down.
It is a wonderful dojo.
Thank you Jimenez
I have met this guy he trains me he so awesome

Then, you don't spinn you adjust acording to the situation
i was skeptical about the spin motion, until i saw him do it at speed, holy shit. ._. very impressive
And he move back and those attack hit the air ...
Adjust the sistance by shuffling if needed. Allways adapt to the circumstances
lets see someone do that in areal situation. Catching a jab is an accomplishment in itself.

I don’t like how the uke throws punches when they demonstrate technique. Nobody punches like that unless it’s a lefty’s jab punch
I love this technique but would love to find someone who has actually used this on the street.
You won't. Save this for Hollywood action flicks.
You wont use any of the kenpo tech. as they are shown. Just like any method out there you are using principles to adapt to the situation.
When you spin and hit with the back fist on the back of the head you are not hitting a vital point in the video could brake your hand
Use the hammerfist against the base of the skull (cerebellum) that will do the trick.
