It was a bit sloppy, yes. If you watch, the orange belt starts attacking me while I'm still talking. Caught me a bit off guard (like real life),...
It does take some steps, but you can see from the vid that it can be done fast. The spin is done by the time opponent realizes what's happened....
Ok......? I'm not stuck on underhooks AND sprawl. Apparently you guys are. I don't have time to search youtube for EXACTLY what you guys want....
I'm not talking about spinning in place. If you watch the video, I end up to the side and/or behind the attacker. Most of the spins are used...
Lots of examples of underhooks in the UFC, espcially against the cage. Here's 2 I found right away : [MEDIA] First minute or as Shane pushes...
Or you can watch the UFC. ;) Like I said, it won't work all the time, but it's not terribly difficult to get, either. I'm not saying I could...
In a technical sense it is giving up your back, but again, the momentum of the spin is going to make it very difficult for anyone to hold on or...
It depends on the attempt. Sometimes I just sprawl on their head or shoulders, to flatten them out. If they get in deep, and there's nothing...
Thnak you Buka. Drop bear, I like overhooks with sprawl, too, but I find that underhooks work better to keep it standing. BJ Penn's book changed...
It's very effective actually. Remember that in the fence, I'm ready for you. It's much better than most kenpo techniques that begin with the...
In what way? It's actually very hard for the opponent to stop you or hit you clean in a spin. I'm certainly not talking about leading with...
A short vid showing use of the fence/shell/pike progression for self defense and control. The fence is a very useful tool in allowing other...
Short vid describing some uses of spins as a defensive mechanism. [MEDIA]
I was an advanced green belt as well, briefly. It was transitioned into the red belt, per the IKKA, so I remember, although that may not have been...
Here's a picture of the belt and the certificate.
Fair enough, I don't think it existed for long. I'm pretty certain it did replace the advanced green belt, though. Does anyone remember what...
Hi guys, apologies if this has been covered already, but I couldn't find anything via search. Can anyone tell me anything about the red belt level...
Hi Julian. BJJ is a very complex art with many submissions you can do from guard. They can all be effective a) with enough practice and b) in the...
In BJJ, we are shown to trap the opponent's ankle, so that they can't post out and stop the roll. It can be done without, but it's more difficult,...
I think part of the problem is viewpoint. Some people here are viewing their martial arts training in a broad, non art-specific context. In that...
That is pretty much re-stating what I wrote. :)
I was taught the crescent step way back in EPAK (anyone remember the box-step exercise? LOL). It can be useful in close quarters, but very...
Kenpo can work fine as part of an MMA skillset. I don't compete, but I have dipped a toe into MMA waters, to see how things work there. EPAK has...
Great fight. I thought Carwin was going to have this one in the bag, by virtue of his out-striking Lesnar so bad in the first round:...
Hmmm. I'm not sure that makes sense. If they've taken aspects of boxing, they would have had to have learned some boxing along the way, yes? I...
Ok, but that's fairly undefined. In the scope of this thread, one might use boxing as a vehicle or method in which to improve one's kenpo. What...
Yes, we agree. Agreed, again. Yes, but I didn't say it couldn't be done - I said it wasn't meaningful to do so. The smaller repetoire of...
Quote by Danjo - The advantage boxers have in the ring is the same one on the street - speed, strength, timing and accuracy that come from...
In theory, kenpo is just as good as boxing as far as hand strikes, with a wider available palette. In practice, many kenpo schools do not do...
I always taught the material as it was written in Mr Parker's manuals. But I would modify techniques at will if I needed to, to make them work....
