What are some things that you feel are important for improving your Kenpo? I'm not necessarily talking about taking up another art, but more along the lines of looking at the material you have, and finding ways to improve it for yourself.
I'll start. There are many things that we can do, but to throw a few out:
Digging deeper into your techniques. Its one thing to be able to run thru a technique or kata, but its another thing to really have a solid understanding of what you're doing.
Understanding the basics. Footwork and stance work are a few things that come to mind here. Without those all of your material will crumble under you. Your stances are your foundation IMO, so without that, everything else, such as power, will most likely be lost.
So..what does everyone else think makes their Kenpo better? Looking forward to a good discussion.![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
