I was watching a video tape of a seminar which included a technique line. (note: kenpo is much easier whien I lie back and criticise others from the comfort of my Couch.) The instructor and several of the blackbelts performed well. Most of the Brown and Black belts, however, quickly became disorganized. There was no focus and target selection was sloppy. Overall I felt I was watching a pattycake demo. I have slowly and begrudgingly come to agree that the extensions are "food for thought" and add value to Kenpo.
1. Should extensions be taught before the base technique can be done with force, accuracy and focus?
2. Does the initial sloppiness resove spontaneously and just be seen as a Learning stage.
Yours,
Jeff
