In another thread, Twin Fist made this comment here.
This was in reponse to a question on the differences in Kenpo, between the above mentioned people. What caught my eye, and what I thought would make a good topic for discussion, was the comments on Mitose and Parker, regarding the Jujitsu that was there and then was removed.
My question is....what did the JJ that was there, consist of, and why was it removed? Now, are we talking about things such as more joint locks and things of that nature or groundwork, etc.?
Mitose:
basic japanese karate with some jui-jitsu, no flow, very dependant on the "one punch kill" non sense. Kenpo in name only.
Chow:
added circular movements, added flow, Chows kenpo was, by todays standards VERY hard kenpo, but it still had flow.
Parker:
added still more flow, removed the jui-jitsu, and got all wordy describing it. came up with tons of forms and sets and terms that hadnt existed before. made kenpo very, VERY cerebral.
