What is your favorite "Storm" technique in American kenpo and why?
Is the club in storm a literal stick, or a club-like use of the fist?

I'm not quite sure that I would have a favorite. My pick would be Securing, or Obstructing. Those are two good techniques.

Literally a stick or club like environmental weapons (chair, base ball bat, big rock, beer bottle etc.)
Ah, this is defending against one, not using one, then.

Thats right, 'storm' denotes a technique where you will dedend yourself against an attack with a club, or club like weapon, as already stated.
While this will usually be an overhead attack, it could also be a roundhouse or thrusting attack.
In the AKKI, we use the term 'tempest' to indicate a club technique that is offensive, rather than defensive.
The AKKI Club Syllabus (1st Level) can be viewed on my website, http://www.americankenpo.co.uk

returning and defying the storm, because to me they seem a bit more realistic and effective than the others. a bit more violent as well.
i also feel more comfortable with them.

Could you clairfy what you mean? Form 7 is the 2 stick form and thus of cource you are using sticks to attack.

I think my favorite storm techniques in the Kenpo system would be Obstructing the Storm and Circling the Storm.
I like Obstructing because it is very quick and to the point. It also teaches about crossing the center-line, etc...
I like Circling the Storm because it is a bit of a challenge. Always like the challenging ones!

Hi Folks!
I hate the use of the term "stick" to describe a Club. Mr. Parker used the term "club" because it had a more violent and dangerous connotation.
I'm reminded of George Carlin's famous comparsion between football and baseball "in football, you use a HELMET, in baseball, you wear a CAP!" well..."In arnis, you use a stick! in kenpo, you weild a CLUB!" as I always use for the motto of AKWS [American Kenpo Weapons Systems] "you STICK them with a KNIFE and you CLUB them to DEATH"
...such a lovely phrase.
So, in closing, please refrain from using the term "stick" when refering to the "club" defenses and attacks.
:::getting off my soapbox now::::soapbox:
I hope that I was of some service,

I usually, when I can remember, use the term "club" to refer to anything that you can club someone with. A log, shovel, chair, the mini speaker by my PC etc. I use the term "stick" to refer to the custum made clubs that are designed for hurting people. That make sense?

I guess my favourite storm technique would be Calming the Storm, it is simple and effective.
In FMA stick often means sword. We think of it as if it were a bladed weapon.
Dr. Gyi says overwhelmingly these types of attack are made with a shovel or similar implement.

I like Clipping the Storm personally, chance for some fast handwork, street applicable and end in a sweep, always a good combination!
Brian in our club has a way of doing Returning the Storm, where instead of ending with the roundhouse kick, he just bears down on your arm until you go face first into the floor, that always seem to work exceptionally well, although it's dis-orientating to experience at speed!

Aren't all of your techniques 'street applicable' then?
