I think there is no problem with the two schools bein that close together! TKD has their crew and following. Kenpo does also! Depending on the clients, ages, genders and preferences; each school would have something positive to offer the community. I know that some Kenpo and TKD Schools do not offer competitive training unless the student specifically asks for such. Others do and only train their students for competition. In the system of kenpo i teach under the IDKA/VKA we do not train for competition; yet those interested can learn for competition! In my system of White Crane Kenpo; is designed for both the streets and misc/creative forms competition! Sincerely; In Humility; Chiduce!
Yellow #2; Black Tiger Eat's It's Prey (Defense Against A Right Lead Punch)Originally posted by Rainman
Not familiar with white crane kenpo- can you give an example of some techniques- say for a left right punch combination and a bear hug from behind arms pinned?
:asian:
After the elbow smash, the attacker is constanly changing body position. The rib strke bends him/her toward the defender a bit as the looping elbow strike to the temple takes the body forward at the waist a bit, while the reverse elbow jerks the head and waist back to slightly up-right position; to position him/her for the spearhand, eye rake and finishing choke throw. So, you can say the there is some manipulation involved; especially if he/she attempts to counter, due to the control of the presently broken elbow being trapped.

Wow and they say we add insult to injury!!! I do have a question though. After the attack to the elbow is the victim(pardon me)I mean attacker in an upright position, or is the poor slob being manipulated around? Thanks for your time...
Salute:asian:
Thank you sir. I guess i kinda needed to be put on the spot. From my studies, it is fact that American Kenpo hides very little, if they hide anything at all as far as techniques are concerned. I feel the other kenpo arts should follow the AK lead and reveal to anyone interested their respective techniques. To myself, knowledge is power! :asian: Ami Tou Fou!
