Whatever. Seems you don’t have a theory to put forth. The clown [emoji1782] suits you.
The book “Secrets of the Samurai” states that jujutsu encompassed the unarmed fighting methods and that the striking and kicking arts were part of...
I have an old book on Shaolin. It puts forth that the form of exercise practiced by the monks was basically yoga, and that over time, as various...
Two of my mentors, Roger Greene (deceased) and Jim Stewart were students of Mr. Babich in San Jose. Roger Greene was promoted to 9th degree in...
There is a fairly specific Gojuryu warmup...junbi undo that has been passed down from the days of Chojun Miyagi. A google search will pull up some...
I don’t know what the functional differences will be. Part of the reason this is being developed is that it is intended to provide ongoing...
I have heard 5. It is in development. From what I know, there is certainly a functional distinction in the training at each level. I imagine those...
Our style, Tracy’s Kenpo, has instructor certification that is separate from rank. It has traditionally been left up to certified instructors to...
It’s solid. Hard hitting, not much fluff. Ohana atmosphere.
You would be correct. My point being that Nick Chamberlain has never worn rank that was not bestowed by someone else. He has not self promoted.
That didn’t happen. I was at his 8th dan promotion in either 2001 or 2002 and also at his 10th dan in 2015. There was no making up a new name and...
That is incorrect. He was a 5th dan in Nick Cerio kenpo. In 2001 or 2002 he was promoted by Al Tracy to 8th dan. He was promoted to 10th dan by Al...
No, I disagree. That’s why I laughed.
LOL.
I have had a few friends who are powerlifters, and they would do specific exercises to strengthen tendons and ligaments, not for lifting purposes...

I'm going. It is always a great event.
Guess it was a "clean shot."
Perhaps. It's just sad that someone comes here with an honest question, and rather than even an attempt to answer or offer assistance, the OP is...
What everyone is trying to say is, "I don't know." Perhaps you could check on a Kajukenbo forum?
Agreed. "Assassination techniques" sounds more like marketing than kenpo.
I'm referring to the statement that none of the techniques in the form save Leap of Death "even have the potential to kill anyone." It is my...
Tracy's names are different than the Parker names. It's the 3rd from last technique in the form.
I don't know. That throats stomp in Manchurian Takedown seems pretty lethal...
It ha the same movements as Darting Serpent in Tracy's, but the targeting is wrong. Headhunter called it Blimding Sacrifice, and his corrections...
Y'all are arguing about the wrong rank. Elvis was awarded a 9th under Parker.
Typically, in Tracy's, the 2 rank rule is adhered to, although Mr. Tracy announced at the last gathering that moving forward, promotions to 9th or...
You're right. That IS odd. [emoji111]️️
This is martialtalk. You should know that nobody is going to talk about the post, they're only going to attack the poster.
