Los conceptos del kempo son muy interesantes y practicos para la defensa personal: patadas a las rodillas, golpe a las bolas, plexo solar, cuello etc. sin tantas katas inutiles sino movimientos simples de ataque y contraataques. excelente.
Excellent class. And this is part of what regular people do when they show they can take blows to the stomach. They tighten up. You're right! It is a form of blocking! Cool way to see it. Kenpo breathing techniques will definitely tighten even the gluts. I am crippled, but I was doing the Kenpo breathing to develop my stomach muscles when suddenly my gluts tightened up, and it freaked me out because up to then I thought I had no control over my butt muscles. On tightening, the same goes for muscles, like getting hit with nunchuks on the arm, you might want the muscles flexed to prevent penetration of the strike to the bone, the same as the strike to the stomach you neutralize. So thank you for this lesson. I hope you have something to say about the speed of the muscles tightening up in the arms or legs, because there is a balance between speed and protection, in some cases. On that line, I was a hardball pitcher, so that's done with the muscles loose, not flexed, but hitting a heavy bag, you better flex all the right parts, but on a speed bag, again no flexing. You have given me, once again, things to think about! Thank you, Larry Tatum!
Yep, it can n it works, was a street fighter before Martial Arts, it taught me discipline n to be more mindful of others. Just walk into a Bar n talk Smack, someone will notice you, then u can practice.😉😂🪖🥷🇺🇸🥋
I find some things comical. Larry made a comment that he would shatter his attackers firearm by punching it. I do not think Larry works on a makiwara, but even with conditioned hard, this is not possible. Other things he says is as bad. Not all, Larry is a good American Kenpo man, but he is unrealistic on a few things. Larry also uses the term Street sparring. I am unsure why he does this. A fight in not sparring. In a fight you will get hit, and getting hit with any effort can derail even the best plan. It can either cause anger, or fear, and both can put you in a huge disadvantage. Pain changes things.
This is a training tape teaching concepts and ideas that can be added to and applied with your toolbox of training just like boxing, "mma", bjj, tactical or defensive shooting, etc. With practice this Stop-Motion that you mention, shifts, just like learning the basics of drawing a pistol. In 1, 2, 3, 4 type learning until it gets to 1234 is one fluid motion. Then there are all the other basics to practice around defensive shooting, improving accuracy, target acquisition, getting off the X, environmental awareness, maneuvering, using cover and concealment, dealing with malfunctions tactically, weapon retention, trauma care, stress enoculation etc. As one becomes efficient with various groups of basics you then can begin merging all of these, developing scenarios to make it as realistic as possible. Enjoy your training.
@@erkwild2000 "teaching concepts and ideas that can be added to and applied" Cool. Let's see some pressure testing actual sparring instead of 40 minutes of him beating the cr*p out of his non-resistant uke? There is zero footage of this guy or any of the usual suspects in kempo/kenpo actually sparring. The footage that actually is available is basically bad kick boxing.
@MrTeeP Response to pressure testing. I totally agree with you on the importance of pressure testing. I trained under one of the participants in this video for 13 years. He was a Vietnam combat vet. Pressure testing happened in our training. Even if something that GM Parker handed down that has changed my instructor wouldn't pass it on to his students until he had been pressure tested. Mr. Tatum is also a Vietnam combat vet. My Balintawak instructor is a combat vet from more recent wars and every class he teaches we experience the pressure testing. There is much more to the training then what people see watching videos.
Yes it works! One caveat! It takes practice. And like most sports the more you put into it and commit it to muscle memory the greater success you will have.
@@VTVT1306 Sorry for the delayed response. I just barely noticed your response in my promo folder. Yes I have used a portion of the technique in real life. I did the knife hand strike with the hand grasp to clear the line of entry to deliver a vertical punch. Didn't knock the guy out, but it was sufficient to end the fight. He didn't want to continue.
If you remember the History of kenpo, you can't really sparr with these techniques, they are made for Combat, it's more prearranged sparring to avoid injury. Remember your trying to learn action reaction. The idea is to learn n remember the techniques. You're not trying to kill your partner. For full contact u should wear protection, but in real life you won't have this, this is why you have to be evasive. Some might disagree, but you don't want to risk injury while learning. I'm just saying. US Army Vet ☯️🥷😐🇺🇸 Master P.
This is true. But the point of remembering the techniques as Mr. Parker explained is the “alphabet of motion”. You’ll likely never use a particular technique bc combat is fluent. U might start w part of 1 tech then use another,etc. That’s what the critics don’t understand.
I'm not sure what you mean by can't spar with these techniques. I used Kenpo in every fight I've been in, and that's what I used in sparring, just not with full force against my partner. Prearranged is the wrong way to think of the techniques, and a true kenpo artist knows prearrangement depends on the reactions of the opponent. Kenpo isn't so much a prearranged set of moves, but rather a prepared set of moves, any of which are subject to alteration in actual usage of them. So while it appears you learn to handle Attack A by a specific set of prearranged moves, that's just looking at the outward appearance of the move, like Seven Swords. You may do Seven Swords with all seven chops when you work on your techniques, but if you think you are going to be in a real fight and do all seven that way, you are not thinking as a Kenpo expert, but a beginner or outsider. It is NOT the move order, but the techniques within the move order, that a Kenpo artist is perfecting for use in real combat. So there are two layers being trained in each move. But the two guys onscreen were sparring using the techniques, and sparring with the techniques is mandatory. What else would you spar with? I have studied Kenpo since 69. Maybe you weren't clear enough.
@@Market-Maven😴😴😴 A Muay Thai player with 2 years of experience fighting will put an end to your so called fighting streak since '69'?. Nobody knew anything back then so it was all experimental. Times have changed. 😊
@@GaryMorris2112 You are wrong Gary. You don't know me. Or my fights or my training. Quit assuming. That gets people knocked out. I will agree with you that 99% of people don't know how to use karate, kenpo. I was beating everybody in Kenpo except where I was still maturing in some things against the best ones, some of whom were just extremely fast, extremely strong. But I understood the weaknesses iin the way it was taught by lower level instructors even in the Black Belt range. That's why I changed all the moves so that they worked. One of the deadlist men alive in military CIA type settings uses Kenpo. I assure you he does not use it like the people you have seen. Remember, there are many many boxers. But only one Mike Tyson, one Rocky Marciano. I was a boxer first. My dad was a golden gloves champion. So from day one, I made kenpo work for me. Muy Thai is good. Like American boxers, both they and American boxers had no problem beating unaware Kenpo, Tae Kwan Do etc. I didn't fight that BS way of the 60's and 70's. Muy Thai? You think American boxers don't know about elbows, just Muy Thai. I knew about shin kicks in 69. You're not telling me nothing. When I fought, it wasn't the hoppity hoppity hopping you see from those many point fighters. I was the real deal. I worked with a heavy bag and speed bag every day, three hours. One hour speed bag, one hour heavy bag for punches. One hour heavy bag for kicks. Hooks, reverse punches, chops, side thrust kicks, spinning rear, hook kicks. I watched my dad fight three men his size. He threw two punches and nailed each one. Knocked them both out. He was on the university boxing team as well. The men were gonna beat up his brother. The 3rd guy ran. But my uncle yelled to not catch him (he was all city #1 track star, got all these scholarships, make All State Iron Man Team. I looked and the first he hit, he hit him so hard, it knocked his eyeball out. My uncle was cleaning the dirt off of it and tried to guess which way it went back in, balled up the foot of string attached to it, some kind of stringy connector, and then used both thumbs top fit it back in. I never even heard of that in martial arts or in Black Belt magazine. So I knew what worked and never put faith in teachers, but in myself, my dad and uncle. Teachers don't know how to teach in many things. They teach language completely differently than the way a child learns it. Teachers go against the pattern that the person already became an expert in when they learned their first language. They didn't go through a list of verb tenses. They watched people actually speak. They didn't learn a 1000 words and rules and then try to put them together into sentences. And people don't know how to teach self defense. Or Chess. Or how to do sudoku or cryptograms. They KINDA know. But they just teach how they were taught and keep gong down the same road. that's not how I am. But I can see why you would stereotype me by decade. "Oh, in the 60's, THEY".
Bruce wasn't a real fighter and would get knocked out by any man and probably some women. Where do you people come from that think he could actually fight? It's ridiculous.
Someone replied to my comment saying why would I tell him something, I wouldn't waste my breath telling that individual anything so, I'll ignore his comment and leave another general comment as a reply to the user I was talking to. As I had said, Bruce Lee wasn't a real fighter and never excepted a fight challenge he was offered. Bruce always found and excuse to get out of the fight because he knew he would lose. All of his delusional fans would then know that he couldn't fight outside of a movie. I'm sure Google will verify my claim if you simply Google Bruce Lee never had a real fight. Google it.
@@zalsat16 I get the concepts but for me unless they are properly pressure tested you can't make it work in a real fight. It'd be like only drilling in BJJ but never rolling, so many times I've thought I've got this technique but to get it to work against a fully resistant opponent is so different.
Thanks
This is pure gold! Learaning these techniques from THE master for free on RUclips. I'm so glad I watched this.
