Thank you for your comment. It is appreciated.

Thanks for the comment. Yes it was a long time ago.

No. But the later and more advanced version of this information can be found in the Kenjute belt videos on the Kenjute International website: www.kenjuteinternational.com

Happy you liked it. Thanks for your constructive comment.

Thank you. Glad you liked it.

The more you train, the better and faster you become.

Best defence against a knife is to run but if you can't, be quick and direct to secure the weapon.

After lots of repetitions executing the self-defence, speed will follow.

It's always interesting to watch beginners struggle with skills. But with enough practice, they eventually get it.

You are correct.

Yes it is...and educational too! Thanks for your comment.

Thanks

Thank You.

@@kenjuteinternational3940 thank you and wish I lived in your city! Lol

The Founder of Kenjute is Joe Foster. He was a personal student of Ed Parker and was his representative for Canada. Thus, there is definitely a Kenpo influence in Kenjute. Kenjute also applies many fighting principles from other martial arts too - the goal of which is to expose students to a broad-based martial arts education. Kenjute has its own curriculum.

Thanks! Will do!

The rope techniques shown in this video are to present "ideas" people can apply. You are correct that situations are fluid and ever-changing in a conflict. Thus, a student must be prepared to be flexible and alter how they deliver their skills. Thank you for your comment. It is appreciated.

Thank you for your contribution comment.

Be sure to check out the "Part 2" video for more info. Thanks for your comment.

You are partially correct. Joe Foster was a personal student of Ed Parker and his representative for Canada when he was alive. After Ed Parker's death, Joe Foster was the IKKA Canadian Regional Director for many years. Kenjute does apply many American Kenpo self-defence concepts and principles in its striking techniques - although Kenjute's striking self-defences are different. Also different from American Kenpo: Kenjute also teaches "manipulation" self-defences including ground skills (great for security and police work); many different hand-held weapons; different types of sparring; and different forms. Thanks for your comment.

We apply our double-stick self-defence techniques in a form (kata) using fire for interest and a challenge. Thanks for your comment.

Thanks

This video was filmed some 25 years ago. It was a different time in the martial arts. I have trained in numerous martial arts for more than 50 years and have been teaching since the 1970's in many different countries. During this time I have witnessed first-hand the curriculum help students improve their personal fitness levels; gain more self-confidence and self-worth; improve focus and discipline (which has directly contributed to their success in various professions); successfully defend themselves on the street; compete and win with the sport element; apply defensive tactics skills in security/policing; and have benefited from a sense of "community". Not a waste of time. I would suggest that today, the vast majority of the participants in the martial arts industry are no longer studying "complete" martial arts systems which can also offer additional elements beyond just self-defence and/or sport. Unfortunately, many of the "newer generation" lack discipline, focus, and commitment to learn whole systems. Instead they want a quick fix in order to learn a few beginner skills to fight in a cage. The martial arts has become an activity full of "partial artists". Thanks for your comment.

Yes. It was a different time.

Glad you liked it.

Thanks

I disagree. Before exposing your back in a crossover spinning action you have been punch in the face, chopped in the neck, and driven back with a hammer fist to the chest and a palm to the face (4 immediate hits); then in the spin (while your back is briefly exposed) you have been elbowed in the gut, hammer fisted in the groin, kicked in the groin, and back fisted in the face (4 more immediate hits). Remember that each blow to your opponent has an effect on his ability to retaliate. The problem when viewing, analyzing, and demonstrating striking self-defences is that you can't actually strike your training partner "for real". Thank you for your comment. It is appreciated.

Thanks, will do!

Goju Ryu is an interesting martial art. I've been teaching martial arts since the 1970's and opened my own commercial school in 1982. Kenjute is a martial art system that began to take shape in the mid 1980's and was first defined as a separate curriculum in 1993. It has continued to evolve ever since. Thanks for your comment. Best wishes.

@@kenjuteinternational3940 What did Kenjute spring from?

You are correct. Any previous martial arts training will help in a street scenario. Sparring DOES have value in teaching fluidity and contact (giving and receiving). My point was: too many people mistakenly think that cage (ring) fighting IS street fighting and that it is the ultimate measurement of real combat (street) techniques. Thanks for your comment.

Thank you!

Thank you.

Thank you

Thanks 😆

I like your humour. Remember that students can stop the technique at any point and escape. It's nice to have follow-ups though when it is necessary. Thanks for the comment.

@@kenjuteinternational3940 You're welcome Sensei. A lot of people I suspect are very lucky you have a sense of humor. I can tell your student have a good deal of discipline, that honors their teaching. I look forwardd to seing any more video you have. thank you for the reply. "Martial arts is not just about fighting, it's about building character."

Glad you liked the video.

Thanks for your comment.

Remember, you can stop your self-defence delivery at any point based on the fluidity of the situation and potential on-going threat. Thank you for your comment.

Sure. These techniques are initially taught in the "ideal phase" of learning. But students should also be prepared to alter their movements and potential targets based on the fluidity of the situation. Thanks for your comment.

Please do tell what you think the proper response to someone pulling your belt is and show how to teach it to someone without instruction or cooperation.

You are correct.

Thank you.

It is said that "knowledge is power". Martial arts has a lot to offer if people seek it out instead of just limiting their thinking to a cage or ring.
