Category completion

[Kenpo_man]

I've heard this term a few times but I am not clear what it means. I've also heard people say they dislike it. Anyone care to explain it to me and state why they like or dislike it?

I don't like the term unless we explain in detail what exact categories we are talking about and how they are complete. Until then. I don't have much use for the term.

taken from Brian's Kenpo page:

Category Completion - Techniques can be grouped according to levels of difficulty or danger. For each of these groups, a single technique can be run. For example; Lone Kimono, Raking Mace, Twin Kimono, Mace of Aggression and Cross of Death deal with grabs - single, double, push, pull, choke. They are essentially the same technique, altered to account for distance and position.

also, Joshua Ryer of United Parkers Kenpo (Parker/Planas lineage), covered this a little in segment 6 of his "On the Mat" series. below is a link to his site. perhaps he could shoot you a link.
