i am not an EPAK practitioner first off but the system does interest me. i recently checked out Larry Tatum's website (nice site). one thing that caught my attention is the section of his website called Technique of the Week. very cool how he further explains into more detail certain aspects of such techniques and how, you, the student can further improve...yada, yada, yada.
i got 2 questions for you guys:
1. does this compromise the EPAK system by allowing idiots of the street to view that part of the website and then later teach that stuff, calling it their "own" material they invented...making $$ off of something they have no understanding of?
2. my knowledge & understanding of Parker Kenpo is very limited. i learned most of what i know of Kenpo from The Perfect Weapon w/ Speakman (very nice flick). the techniques Mr. Tatum performs are quite impressive & seem rather effective. my question is this: why does it appear as though Mr. Tatum is "slapping himself" during technique execution. is this taught throughout EPAK or is it just something Mr. Tatum added on his own to add sound effects to the clips?
i thank you all in advance for your answers in helping me further understand this fascinating system of the martial arts. :asian:
