I've only watched Kempo online & it just looks like a flurry of fast (circular?) Movements which seems overly artistic .
Like striking out in a flurry hopefully hitting something. I think Ed Parker definitely Was an interesting man but I'm more interested in direct, clean technique with no fancy BS.
It may well be that my Analysis is way off ...
It's just if I want to smash a guy in the face I don't need all the hand waving or face pulling

It is very rare to see anyone posting that Kenpo/Kempo lineage.
Yes, Ed Parker, Harry Hutchings, Me. I have another question for any of the oldsters: in around 1966-67 Tom Gow was sparring with Steve Sanders. Tom Gow sent Steve Sanders to the hospital with a spinning back kick. That caused Ed Parker to ban the kick. I saw Tom Gow use that kick in the " California Karate Championships". Where he shattered a guys jaw. It's nowhere on the internet. Does anyone remember that?

I've seen Steve Sanders fight, but not that one. I was at a Calif. Karate Championship but not the one with the broken jaw. I was at a tournament when one of our guys got his jaw broke with a spinning heel hook though. I fought in Parker's Internationals in 1969, 70, 72, 73 and 74 and don't recall any kick being banned.
My time in kenpo was short: Parker > me.
