I've heard time and time again about how Kenpo is a complete
system of self defense. I'm SOOO glad that my TKD instructor
made my big *** jump so much so often to kill my shins! Made
me look elsewhere, and finally finding EPAK.
Since I've started, I've noticed that a LOT of EPAK schools teach
some variation of Kali in their schools too. If EPAK is a complete
system, why do we study Kali/Escrima/Stick N' Knife? I was told
that it'll "help you learn flow" but that means I can learn flow by
concentrating all my efforts on kenpo, correct? By "complete
system" do they really mean "complete empty handed system" ?
I've even heard people say that cross training in another art for
the purpose of acheiving rank is counter productive, because if
I look hard enough, I'll see that's already in the EPAK
system.
What gives?
