Do you follow the curriculum as it's laid out by Mr. Parker or have you changed things around some?
I ask because the Kenpo school I go to doesn't teach the self defense techniques in the order they are in the book. Now my instructor told me when I asked him that he showed it to his instructor and he was told it didn't matter what order they are taught in so long as all the techniques were taught before black belt. Any thoughts? I don't have a problem with it because the way it's set up the techniques are taught in a way that you learn two or three techniques that are similar or the opposite of each other.
Thanks

Many people have changed the curriculum around, and rearranged the order of the techniques. But I believe there was a reason the techniques were laid out as they were. Kenpo Viking has a great way of explaining why the first 4 techniques are taught in the order they are taught.
But some say to each their own, since we are trying to tailor kenpo to the individual. But I personally think there is a reason the techniques are taught in the order they are listed in Infinite Insights book 5.
