This is an OPINION question:
What is it that makes kenpo what it is?
What can be changed without losing "the kenpo" in it?
Could you.......
....change or remove all the katas?
....change or remove all the techniques?
....change or remove some of the techniques?
....change the way basic strikes, stances, etc. are done?
....not make reference to the same principles?
....call it something else?
and would it still be Kenpo?
This is an actual question, not forum weirdness. I want to know what people think defines kenpo opposed to other systems.
If someone had a system that was based on drills instead of techniques, would it be kenpo?
If someone had a system in which the basic moves were done differently, would it still be kenpo?
If you changed the name but taught the same material the same way, that seems obviously to still be kenpo.......
Thoughts?
Best,
