more kung fu in to the current Kempo system is a really good thing I think. We have linear and circular movements but there really isnt a lot of blending. our assitant instructor (who is an exceptional MA'ist) has really started to work with me on this, we think a like so we tend to work together a lot. But our instructor doesnt really work it to much. Kempo has the quick strikes and the powerful strilkes but I dont see them mixed together very often. This could be only my blue belt experience talking but from watching the higher ranks I dont see it either.Very ... my instructor and I think alike as far as self defense goes. Only frustration I'm having now is of my body type and the age factor ... kung fu kicks my butt ... LOL ... still learning kempo, but throwing some kung fu into the mix.
the fluid motion in Kung Fu should really help this in my opinon.
