What's the difference?

[Martial Tucker]

Ok, I'm a long-time traditional TKD student, and I have a few friends who study Kosho-Ryu Kenpo. To my knowledge, there are no EPAK-type schools in my area, and I've never met anyone personally who is an EPAK student. What I am wondering is, (AND I"M NOT ASKING WHICH IS BETTER!!) what are the primary differences between Kosho and EPAK styles? Again, I am asking this question in innocent ignorance (my normal operating manner), and I am just looking for an objective, mature, compare/contrast type answer/discussion. If you feel compelled to post only to defend your style-choice, don't bother, I don't care. If you can post an intelligent and objective comment re: the comparison, I thank you in advance.

kosho ryu is taught by application of principle rather than learning principle through technique.
we do however practice certain drills to increase hand speed, foot work etc.
this is how we do it in sei kosho shorei kai.

There should be plenty of threads on Mt, sort thru the crud.

What Black Cat Bones said is the difference in a nutshell, and as such Kosho looks a little different based on the teacher's past training
