Jeff Speakmen

[Nutbar]

Here is a video clip of Jeff Speakman's testing sessions and tournaments. I wonder what the name of the song playing is. Where does Speakmen do much of his teaching anyway?

Good stuff! Now that's some heavy banging! So much for all the kenpo training, it turned into staright forward pounding---Just like a real fight! (maybe less BJJ stuff for real) Looked more like MMA fighting, instead of Kenpo.

Here is a really cool clip as well. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Q17UBJmhgA&search=jeff%20speakman. Jeff jumps in at times to beat on his own students.

That is a cool clip. Thank you for sharing. In addition to the techniques shown in the 'technique line', I like how the clip ends with the words "Don't worry he's ok".

WOW! Outstanding clip. Oh, by the way...as for the clip that I posted, does anyone know the name of the song that is playing?

Great stuff indeed! Amazing how differently things are done. Saying he's o.k. is easy when you are the one dishing out the punishment http://martialtalk.com/forum/images/icons/icon12.gif http://martialtalk.com/forum/images/icons/icon7.gif.

Great clip! Looks like fun even if all of it doesn't necessarily look like kenpo. Anyone here planning on going to Jeff Speakman's training camp this weekend? Any thoughts from those who've gone in the past.

I'm thinking about going out there for the weekend and wondered if it would be worth the trip (if I can get the time to make it).

Regards,

John

I went back in 2001 and had a great time. Lots of good instruction, and your meals are included in the cost. By all means, if you are going to be out there, make a point of going.

Jeff Speakman lives at Lake Arrowhead and his school is somewhere nearby. He's not that easy to find but those who are serious do find him.

At the end of this clip Speakman is showing some respect for Hanshi Angel, (Speakmans 1st instructor) picturing his students with Hanshi who oversees Speakmans Kenpo Camp promotional board.

I noticed something in this video. In the shielding hammer segment, when Mr. Speakman jumps in and does the technique, his left hand in basically just hanging there. Isn't it supposed to be doing something?

Isn't it supposed to be doing something?Why do only some people check over the shoulder at the end of five swords? Why doesn't any one fall down... ever?

the original youtube video clip, I've seen before and like to note my thoughts for others (and those with a similar view to comment).

The demostrations in the video reminded me of footage of the first few east coast demo teams performs- however there was a distinct slant for these guys to incorporate mma, bjj, grappling techniques. Where the difference with the east coast 'old' demo teams (1sts few years) consisted of clean fast technques- not to try and nit-pic and entertaining video- but the youtube clip missed the mark. (and in my book missed Mr. Parkers Kenpo)

kind regards,

Good question.

Mr. speakman teaches in Lake arrowhead, he doesn't actualy run the school but that's where he mostly trains, when he's not traveling.... the video you see on the website was taped up in arrowhead.
