Dam you.
And it never fails to come true.
That's because it didn't make sense and had horrible mechanics. Tiger and Crane was another story sir.
The Two-Man Set also known as "The Black Belt Set" initially, originally appeared in "Secrets of Chinese Karate" published in 1963. This was...
On the same list with all the other "fads." Guys like Martin Wheeler are great martial artist with or without "systema," not because of it. I've...
Well, it's been more than 10 years and we now have the answer - nobody. That's not to say there aren't some good people doing good things, but...
Congratulations ?
See, once again you leave me with nothin'. :)
Are you kidding? In my tenure with the Old Man, I don't think I ever saw anyone that followed the "suggested" curriculum completely. As he added...
It would have been nice if you had left me some room for a reply, instead of covering the topic so thoroughly that - "I got nothin' ":)
Mr. Parker never used a red belt in any of his curriculum to my knowledge ever, and especially that late in his teaching. The diploma is an...
It is my understanding he never stopped studying with Sifu Wong from the moment they first met around 1961, until Sifu's death in 1987.
One question: "What color is the tiger?"
While my instructor was alive I wore his Crest Patch, even though I hated it. Not because of its design, but because of its execution. The...
Well, no reason for me to say anything. You quite accurately said it all sir. :)
"The mind is like a parachute, it only works when it's open."
There's an anatomical difference in describing a response to getting hit in the groin. The actual response is as we have discussed and as you have...
Yeah, well it looks like Bob won that round.
Good point, but I was referring to the stripes. People much worse than he are wearing black belts. Who am I to judge, but yipes stripes. To many...
I never anyone should give back their black belt, but teaching is another issue. Oh, and just because someone's been "teaching" for 23 years,...
Uh, yeah!
Hey, you're not the one to always say things like that, I am. Stop trying to steal my criticism. Oh well, we can share.
I suggest you contact Rich Hale, who has the most comprehensive workbook of the Kenpo Karate System in great detail on computer disc....
An unintentional good example perhaps? Spaghetti is sorta Italian for Chinese noodles which were first. Much like Kempo is Japanese for Chuanfa -...
You're not Doc? Wait! Uh, never mind I need some rest.
Some are confusing the light whipping rattan "sticks" for the "bludgeons" the techniques are supposed to work against.
You covered it pretty well. I've found in Kenpo Karate many have "techniques" they think they know, and reverse engineer the attack to fit what...
It also might be a good idea to define what it is we are attempting to do, because the varying methods require different mechanics and execution....
Agreed. Just from the beginning the basic stances, as I understand them, are wrong or poorly executed. The method displayed for moving the feet...
I am speechless.
