Hi,
I'm not a kenpo student and have never actually trained in Kenpo before. I've been browsing this forum and I've come across several references to weapons work in Kenpo, but I can't quite figure out if it's focused on self defense against weapons or training with weapons. Did Ed Parker originally teach weapons or just empty hands defense against weapons?
I know that some Kenpo players are adding new (not Ed Parker's) weapons work to their curricula. Who are some of these people and what do they teach? I'm interested in the weapons training because I primarily train Filipino Martial Arts. So if anyone could make analogies to that it would be helpful.
Thanks,
Eric
