He is correct that the thumb break was not emphasized; so, as shown, the techs are non functional; however, showing us ways to make those techs work are not the point of the video. I didn't infer that part about being smarter than Ed Parker; so, I prolly suffer from poor reading comprehension.so..the answers ARE in teh techniques, and people that think they are smarted than ed parker yapping about how the IP is stupid or not needed are full of crap.
got it
You just became the "what if Person" he was talking about it the vid. One lesson at a time. In this case forward and backward. Why didn't he show the break, I don't know, but He is no slouch.Mr. Wedlake's explanation is spot on,and imho very accurately displays the preposterous fallacy of having nonfunctional Ideal techs in the first place.If you have functional ideal techs,you practically perforce have addressed the primary and most common what-if's of those scenarios too...and get both a lifelong infinitely varying workout and a constantly improving level of understanding of your Kenpo in the process.Neither of those Crosses variants has a chance in the world of working against a resisting opponent...at least as shown they don't.This isn't any disrespect aimed at Mr.Wedlake,but yet again I'm pointing out the truly extreme absurdity of having a nonfunctional SD sequence and presenting it as if it's in any way valuable workable desirable and/or functional.
Have your techs actually do what they're purported to do and the ignorance disguised as deep mastery of a form of hyper advanced esoteric knowledge granted only to the rare few will vanish...and the infinitely intricate beauty and simplicity of your Kenpo will reveal itself to you as you practice your Kenpo.Stop so much of getting your yap work on,and get your matwork on...THEN get tonsil-riffic with your discoveries.Share it with us all.We'll comment on it,initiate a brisk exchange of point and couterpoint aimed at universal improvement,we'll get our matwork on and share.repeat ad infinitum.Our martial arts gets better,ad infinitum.Taaa daaah!
