American Kenpo Blue Belt Techniques Pt 2/2

[Yondanchris]

Hello All,

These videos where created by request of some friends who wanted to
compare execution of techniques from "traditional" EPAK and CFAK/SFAK.

 

[Tames D]

Have you and Clark created your own Kenpo system?

I don't see any differences

Have you and Clark created your own Kenpo system?

No not as such we do American Kenpo with our own perspectives (CFAK/SFAK)

but we did create "Christian Kempo" a streamlined system for some of my students, with a focus on Faith and Self-Defense.

Thank you.

 

[Yondanchris]

Thank you.

I should clarify that Christian Kempo is not related to American Kenpo but more with the Polynesian arts than Kenpo/Kempo

Ok

What is the background in the Polynesian arts that Christian Kenpo is built on? I always thought it was a derivative of Parker-based Kenpo.

That's a negative ghost rider, I have never been and never will be associated with Steve Spry, nothing personal.

Thank you. I ask because I believe Clark is/was Steve's student.

Was, key word...he left in 1989-90 and re-tested for Black Belt under Pat Salantri (1992??)

 

[Tames D]

Ok, got it.

 

[Yondanchris]

I don't see any differences

This video is of Prof. Cole and I doing American Kenpo...not our "Christian Kempo"

 

[Tames D]

Do you have video of Christian Kempo? I may have missed it if you posted it.

Stances need dropping the guy was pretty much straight legged through most of the form

 

[Tames D]

Congrats on your win. I'm a little confused. Was this a Christian Kempo competition? Were the judges CK or AK? Is Trejo involved in CK?

This was an open competition where I decided to compete using Christian Kem/npo form rather than an AK form. Mr. Trejo is not affiliated with CK
