I love Kenpo and all. It's just that when I switched over to Muay Thai and other combative training such as mma. I realized a lot of these techniques and combinations were impractical. Nobody stays loose or still while you try to execute most of these combinations. What I mean is that you kind of have to adapt and make up your own in a real fight.

When I studied Kenpo it was really enjoyable, but unfortunately the lack of ground principles and techniques makes this martial art very incomplete. And also a lot of people do the quick slaps on the gi that make cool sounds but wouldn't do much in a streetfight. And with the suing lawsuit generation, eye gouges, throat punches, could cost you a pretty penny if you use these techniques in regular non life threatening fights where there isn't CCTV.

It's always funny to me how people get the learning process of Kenpo wrong. These people are in training to learn how to follow up on attacks and or leaning how flow from one technique to another.. Great introduction. Thanks for sharing.. Keep up the great work..For those of you that really question the style, go find a good instructor, he'll show you..

I have back ground in Kempo, Thai boxing and wrestling. Kempo is very adaptable and flexible. I use it as a base discipline because I find the balance in stand up more flexible. (I’m southpaw, fight in orthodox stance) it allows and teaches imo more power from different angles and techniques like these Ingrain the importance of momentum. It’s not so much the technique itself but rather not stopping your momentum to assess the results of the blow. Continuing to push your opponent back and not allowing them to slip. This is very complimentary to wrestling, specially when first learning take downs, as it gives you wonderful base for setups and follow thru.

The first 30 seconds is why I stopped doing kenpo. I was looking for realistic and practical not flashy and impractical (your opponent will not just stand there casually letting you hurt them). I then found muay thai and my life changed forever. Edit - the entire video is why I stopped doing Kenpo karate.

There is value in having good form and discipline. There is reward and humility in traditional martial arts. But it is also extremely important to train in kickboxing and jiu jitsu in the event of a real fight. Sparring for a few weeks in a BJJ school could save your life some day.

It's good to be fit. I love Kenpo and I do kenpo

Respektos, gut kenpo👍. Hi from Rassiya

I really enjoy this channel. All are skilled...but Mr McKay seems to be a cut above.

Kenpo is a very useful style of self defense. I have 15 years experience in this wonderful style. What attracts martial arts practitioners to Kenpo, is it's flexibility to tailor to each individual student. In most cases, the practitioner has to mold into the style. Keno adapts to you no matter what your age is, built or martial arts experience. Kenpo blends Japanese/Chinese martial arts together. Upon reaching Black Belt in Kenpo, the student has a well round education in striking, kicking, deflecting, grappling, grabs and weapon defenses - knives and other objects. I will never negatively talk about any form of martial arts because all styles have something positive to offer, but a lot of styles focus on one form of self defense. Kenpo is the opposite which will teach you a little bit of everything.

My first martial art was Kempo and I got to Green Belt in it, wish i stayed on longer! wondering what changed that... Loved it, but I later joined a Karate club that felt much more alive and dynamic in a lot of ways, so I enjoyed the Karate club more. Naturally though, being my first martial art I have a real soft spot for Kempo and always felt that it was leagues and leagues more badass than the straight Karate ..and it is. Modern Karate is often geared more toward tournament style fighting.

Those techniques will only work on a statue, cuz they aint moving

For everyone saying American kenpo/Kenpo Karate is useless, as these practitioners aren't fighting back. This is a demonstration. So they won't actually be fighting for real, and they will demonstrate some techniques from the sport. American Kenpo/Kenpo Karate haa very fast techniques so you can basically not react in a way as an attacker if the defender reacts fast, properly and with power. It also depends on the one who is teaching you, every school teaches differently.

This is Kenpo - mainly a striking art. The practitioners here although not as smooth as Larry Tatum in their performance do highlight the key concepts of Kenpo. I am noticing the comments about hitting someone 27 times without them moving towards you. This obviously is a demonstration. The idea of 27 strikes etc.. teaches the student to "Follow up" with multiple strikes incorporating "Strike from where the hand is" - a key concept of Kenpo. You don't want to rely on just 1 punch or 1 kick to eliminate the threat, you need to keep going until the threat is eliminated. This is why you are seeing multiple strikes in rapid succession in these techniques. You're not going to be successful at throwing 15 strikes at someone, but Kenpo will teach you to block, punch, punch etc..

so cool karate AKKI UT kenpo and like sytle fight wow

As I recall Benny Urkides' basic style is american kenpo. And he was king of american kickboxing.

My favorite part is watching the guy getting hit. Clearly practicing the freeze-up and close-your-eyes techniques.

Sir please make more video love from INDIA

wow looks lethal

These technick do work. But only in the multiverse

AKKI is the best American Kenpo i have seen so far. It's even better than mr Parker himself :) I am sure you guys have worked towards improving kenpo from its original form to a more dynamic approach. It would be much better if you could include defense againt rapid multiple attacks such as in shorinji kempo or Filipino MA so that the techniques will look more realistic. Single attacks with attacker stands still while defender launch more than 10 moves is really really unrealistic. I think compare to other Kenpo afiliation around only AKKI can do it :)

In my opinion, all the techniques are basics of how to move, and reference points. I’m sure you will never be able to complete a whole sequence, but maybe a beginning, middle, or ending. Don’t count out kenpo, all of it is useful ( practical) under the right circumstances. Just gotta see it in the right light.😊

Kenpo is very much a mix of traditional karate, "Kung Fu", and a touch of older form juijutsu. It won't get you anywhere in an MMA match because half the techniques aren't even sport legal. It's also true that canned techniques with a willing partner, as seen in the video, will never make you a great fighter on their own. However, I can tell you that those "million slaps" are pretty effective in a self defense situation when the targets are the eyes and throat. The toughest man I ever faught studied a large number of martial arts, but his primary base for his self defense school was a modified version of Kenpo. He was scary good at both sport and self defense martial arts. It was an honor to get my ass kicked by Kenpo techniques.

I have to say. I've trained mma and jiu-jitsu for 25 years as well as Kajukenbo mo duk pai. Kenpo and kung-fu are real. People just don't understand the difference between taking people out and sport martial arts. Mma is a sport like boxing and kickboxing. On the street with weapons and no cups or reffs. Where eye pokes and groin strikes win fights its different. Mma guys have one dimension but there are multiple.

I would like to see a little more settling on the strikes utilizing concepts of path of action and different timing between the strikes to maximize contact manipulation for the next target of opportunity. Your base and hips is where you generate 80% of your power not just your upper limbs. Some practitioners execute their moves too fast to hide their in- adequacy's of the missing moves applied in a properly applied technique. Slow is fast. Accuracy equals effectiveness. Breathing develops maximum power. Principles of motion are basic that should always be applied from a white belt to black belts.

Finally an educated person explains the science of kempo. To a ego fighter this make look fake. When in reality it is not only meant for self protection but also to pratice you self control. There is no need for full contact fighting. Kempo has the same strategy as any other Chinese martial arts and that is looseness,pliability and adaptibility. More force is not the right strategy nor in a fight nor in life. It creates recklessness. And that is clearly not what martial arts is about.

Mma, boxing, kickboxing, juijitsu, still more effective in the streets today & when the person pulls out a gun RUN 🏃‍♀️ LIKE HELL

Those types of counter, a person getting them would not just stand there in one place he/she would be pushed back by them so you would have to allow yourself the movement forward to do the rest of them on the person attacking you.

I really ask myself why there's people saying "Kenpo doesn't work, my karate is better, all that I got is better" Did you really get a real lesson from Martial Arts? Like be humble, Be a honorable person, Do not presume what you learned in Martial Arts etc. Also, I forget this, Kenpo Karate was made for real self defense and have a right discipline, Not to flex or presume what you learned.

Not a huge fan of Kenpo, but I do like it's formation and techniques! Although, I'm not sure if it's effective! Edit: Alright, change my mind. I just watched Kenpo vs Taekwondo and most of the kenpo guy's techniques are pretty swift! I don't think My TKD would not work on kenpo! Damn.

While I appreciate that this is just a demonstration, from my experience I’ve found that three strikes is all you need before going in for clinch, grapple or breaking. Again I get that this isn’t what you do in the real fight and that the rapid attacks are for when the opponent is stunned and that the mentality behind Kempo is death by a thousand cuts but I’m curious if anyone has attempted to modernize it like what Bruce Lee did with Wing Chun?

They give black belts a little easier to women I see. In the Kenpo I learned, it was a no-no to point your toes out for the world to stamp on.

Thing is there demonstrating against a static opponent...look up the Gracie challenge here on you tube and see how easily the bjj stylist took down a kenpo practioner Also Royce defeated one in an early UFC match

I wonder if the naysayers out there have ever had to fight multiple attackers in an actual street fight . It's going to be difficult to take a guy to the ground in that situation without​ his buddies joining in to help him . Also if they have ever been struck in the throat hard , it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that a hard strike there or to the eyes can be extremely effective , not to mention hard strikes to the groin .

Very impressive fast techniquebutwho punches just once and leaves there limb out?

Everyone online always bashes Kenpo and deems in unpractical or useless. The truth is that it works, and most people are not not willing to put in the work. To get to a point where you can utilize the curiculim in the street, it takes years of hard and dedicated training by very good senseis. In classic American fashion, people just want the fastest way to win without putting work into it. I can sympathize with the popular sentiment to the point where the videos don't show the good techniques. The mistake these black belts make is showing highly sophisticated, detailed skilled and complex motion to (mostly) averagely-skilled viewers who can't understand what's going on. Such a shame.
