I find that when I watch fight competitions that the rules of that competition determine the techniques that succeed. Boxing, K-1, Pride, UFC, Wrestling, Thai, Point fighting, light contact continuous fighting, etc all have competitors who excell because they use the rules to define their technique. as an example I once watched a pride fight where the attacker charged in for a 2 legged takedown. The defender essentially did Intercepting the Ram and did a combined knee Hammerfist and dropped the atter to the mat. Amusingly the man who fell into a fetal position was declared winner do to the illegal groin shot.
What assumptions do we make in Kenpo that determine our techniques and training methods? As an example do EPAK knife techniques assume that the attacker is only carryingf one knife or do the overkill aspects of the technique cover the possibilty of multiple knives secreted on the attacker. Do EPAK assumptions create weaknesses that others can use to advantage. Does the emphasis on speed in the AKKI create their modifications? Does this emphasis create weaknesses.
Respectfully,
Jeff
