jeff is to one of the greatest teacher left with passing of parker and lee he makes it into such a science i have got some the hands but ill never be half as good as him he is such a great teacher thanks jeff for giving us some of your knowledge
Well said Rachel Ortiz. That's y I love kenpo. Principles. Everything may not work perfectly but be prepared. I live in Vegas & attend kenpo 5.0 & live it. My body hurts but I live it
You may or may not agree with the technique he showed (specially if coming from a jujutsu background), But don't think anyone can deny that Mr Speakman explained the techniques and the concepts clearly and professionally. Just 2 minutes were taken for principles to be presented that could lead into hours of study. That is a trademark of a good instructor.
I love how people always criticize on kenpo. Those people probably saw someone saying a negative comment about the art and then they decided to go with it and make fun of people who practice in kenpo when they have probably never studied it
I prefer to cancel the height-zone using a negative orbital movement in direct but OPPOSITE proportion to the inverse of pi. THIS affords me the 3 milliseconds per continuum of motion necessary to check my opponent's hemispheric alignment by 1.2965% per particle movement. That's just me though.
lol noob u forget to correct 4 angular momentum at point of impact, and also to integrate atmospheric rotation with respect to epsilon/2t, the guy will take u out with a counter orbital and cancel ur height zone, nice try but go back 2 da 4th grade and learn wut a real streat fighter does also jump cancel is down+z, do u even no what that is, u cant cancel height zone w/out jump counters unless you start ur ultra combo under 12% health, its easier if u buy phantom katana from the shop in leaf town cuz it gives u 20 extra dmg against mobs and mana regen
Looks good - as long as your attacker stands there like a statue while you (1) perry, (2) check, (3) thumb strike, (4) hammer-fist, (5) step around and (6) then drop down to one knee for the take-down. If the attacker is that slow, why not just walk to your car and leave instead?
It's from years of training and repetition which equals a muscle memory response in a fight of course your not going to get all of those moves unless an opponent gives them to you . You will get whatever they give you . No system is perfect or complete . But any training is better than nothing at all . Much like these keyboard warriors who are experts at everything 🤓
Yes there the first to comment amonths worth of. Mma and they no everthing about martial arts after they comment you check there profile and it usually says it all
+Rizal Djohan That is what training partners are for. It really useful, for me anyway, to feel what the techniques does to my body and i Find it then easier to learn and apply that technique.
Rizal Djohan to do the same thing and MMA when they're teaching something the opponent is allowing the instructor to complete the technique watch any MMA boxing fight tips video bjj instruction you will see the same thing how else are you gonna see what's going on
@Brian Jones , Karate is total garbage and you are better off with Muay Thai for the striking arts. MT does not waste your time with hours of Katas , silly punches and stupid blocks
I was in boxing for some time as a teen then wrestled in high school. At 18 I took japanese jujitsu, then worked out with a pro kick boxer for a few years. I fight the way i fight, very few rules. I think MMA is great to study, they are the best of the best in and out of the ring.
as you can clearly see, on youtube there are wannabe fighters who hide behind thier computer & run thier mouth when they have little or no experience in fighting or being a fighter. AND when they are confronted and challenged - they quickly try to talk thier way out of the fight. A true fighter never runs away from the fight, he runs towards it. If they REALLY think they are tough guys they would go down to Speakman's dojo and fight him. But they niether have the balls or the backbone to do it.
For those of you who don't understand all the terms used, kenpo was founded off of the same techniques that would later become karate, however they took two very different paths. Karate was birthed in battle and had less time for theory and merely time for concept and application. Kenpo had a lot of time to develop and much research was put into maximizing the attack with the least amount of energy by using scientific analysis of motion and the human structure. Karate does the same but less formally and focuses more on uke and prevention/cancelation as well as being very response and auto-ability oriented while kenpo focuses on training you to know simple strikes to vital targets but understanding theory so you are never without motion and you are able to think and fight simultaneously by thinking during the simple movements you know by muscle and acting your thoughts in between that time. Karate is all one motion while kenpo is a calculated attack. All martial arts are created equal but each has specialties. Kenpo like BJJ is the thinking mans martial art.
@borobei because EPAK contains so little actual kenpo that was taught to parker from Chow it really cannot be called kenpo let alone traditional kenpo which is why it is called EPAK (Ed Parker's kenpo).
I think some people are missing the point, those first hits, by the time you realise what hit you, someone with this speed will hit you again and do manoeuvres before you react the way you're thinking you will.
@MrBotheman I practiced a kenpo for a few years,(the others i have spent practicing other martial arts). I believe it is a very practical martial art, but at the same time there is some of that is a bit excessive. Kenpo is a "soft" martial art which is very appealing because it is effective esspecially for people who are smaller, or not very conditioned. The only thing i dont agree with very much is some of the instructors i see structure out attacks which doesnt promote "on the fly" defense.
I think Shihan Speakman gave very clear instruction on this technique and if his words are confusing then the visual should clear up what he is trying to say. He is obviously talking to in his mind people who are followers or studnts of the various branches of Kenpo under the Ed Parker System and by extention those Kenpo followers or student of the Hawaiian (Chinese) Kenpo under Great Grand Master William K.S Chow. He is not exactly taking to people who know nothing of the system
@MrBotheman (see the other comment first) By on the fly defense I mean like adapting to a fight situation. A fighter who relies heavily on teaching structured techniques and fixed responses to attacks will not be able to properly defend against even a slightly trained fighter. Because in a real situation not everyone will react in ways that compliment your techniques. You need to be able to adapt. So in conclusion i would ask the instructor if you can observe a class to access their abilities.
@payanmario Lo siento pero se puede aplicar y lo he hecho en mas de una ocasion contra ataques por personas mas altas y pesadas. Es solo tu 'timing" que tiene que estar bien. No hago Kenpo pero en mi sistema hay movimientos similares a estos. Este movimiento te da la opcion de bajar al oponente vivo o muerto.
@ptrodrigu 100% agree, but you're not driving your knee into the ground, just kneeling it. technique does seems (i would never do it to completion :p).. but if you're already on the ground, that takedown could give you the chance to get back up to your feet. same as that back mount if yer in a 1v1 situation, in a house or dirt or grass, not a street :p
Bad guy, throw punch, don't make contact, then do not pull your punch back, and don't resist while the good guy does his thing, and make sure you react exactly how he wants you to
@akrocuba I agree. I also believe that most of the best fighters in MMA are respectfull of Traditional Martial Arts. Like GSP, Anderson Silva and Lyoto Machida.. Although GSP did a very bad kata demo at a UFC event that hasa been posted on youtube. Destructive Knee is .. destructive.
The reason for the frame by frame breakdown for these techniques is to TEACH!!!!!!! Do you really think in a real life situation it would be remotely like that?????? Obviously, anyone who questions that has no training in anything!!!!
Under stress, you do what you train. There are plenty of wrestlers who have been stabbed to death going for a double leg, there are plenty of MMA fighters who have had their heads kicked in by the mate of the guy they've just got into mount and there are plenty of Aikidoka who have been battered to a bloody pulp waiting for that one big attack where the bad guy over extends himself.
Laurie Caspoli: Exactly. That is why training with static partners is useless. No-one in real life will just stand/lay there while you do 7 moves. So why train it like they would. Try with a resisting partner and see what does and doesn't work. You won't be able to half of this if they did. It is just to pre-set.
"That is why training with static partners is useless". So, by this logic, training with a heavy bag is useless. No-one in real life will just stand there while you hit them 7 times, so why train it like they would?
Question? Shouldn't you be nullifying the attackers inverted centrifugal thrust parameters prior to executing an accelerated variance technique at a torque range of that distance? I mean sure, given that he is likely sustaining perpendicular refraction of your downward orbital mass and consequently has sacrificed his angular momentum velocity by .04, you could alright - but why chance it. "Everyone has a plan - until they get punched in the face." Mike Tyson
Good script for movies, bad for fighting. Fighting is live and spontaneous, not a scripted clash between programmed robots fighting from memory. As long as the students understand that and fit this long chain of moves within the more realistic context of fighting, aided by contact sparring, then these insanely long sequences or drills can serve to help a fighter physically execute certain moves or serve as a dictionary or catalogue of moves👍🏻
Mike Huerta Kenpo is a thinking mans martial art Imma just post what I said before "For those of you who don't understand all the terms used, kenpo was founded off of the same techniques that would later become karate, however they took two very different paths. Karate was birthed in battle and had less time for theory and merely time for concept and application. Kenpo had a lot of time to develop and much research was put into maximizing the attack with the least amount of energy by using scientific analysis of motion and the human structure. Karate does the same but less formally and focuses more on uke and prevention/cancelation as well as being very response and auto-ability oriented while kenpo focuses on training you to know simple strikes to vital targets but understanding theory so you are never without motion and you are able to think and fight simultaneously by thinking during the simple movements you know by muscle and acting your thoughts in between that time. Karate is all one motion while kenpo is a calculated attack. All martial arts are created equal but each has specialties. Kenpo like BJJ is the thinking mans martial art."
actually that is incorrect, if you train to do useless things, you will be an expert at being useless. any training is better than no training only applies when you are actually training something useful and practical. many kenpo guys get super angry and offended but they should try to objectively analyse american kenpo and study the true backstory of ed parker. the guy is the L Ron Hubbard of martial arts, he just made it all up.
You don't need more than 5 moves to take the guy out permanently do you ? It's a case of heavy 3 hits or 20 light hits .... Which takes longer ... Depends on the martial artist doing it ...
why is it that people of little martialarts experience and or fighting experience comment and say stupid shit without nothing to back up thier comment or arguement. That is why on my videos i censor the comments because i am sick and tired of these assholes who mouth off about my stuff who i would tap out or knockout. Sensei Speakman gave a excellent demo.
Alot of words to describe each move/sequence. He could have included the reason why you have to do the sequence like that. Remember friends, longer the desription longer it is to master. So from white belt to 6th dan or whatever Kenpo's variation is. 15 years easy, before you can defend yourself well. I do have experience in martial arts such as; tae kwon do, judo, boxing, wing chun, kali/silat, and going for my purple belt in BJJ.
Loved Perfect Weapon, but I don't get what ur doing. Technique was written for a step through left not a left jab they are not the same. Also why go down when you don't have to. Kenpo is street art. Going down takes away the choice to simply flee, also your giving your back to your opponents budy who is coming to help.
Every video i've watched of this seems like really basic shit made out to be incredibly complicated and given extensive names to make it sound more impressive than it really is.
bloodriotiori He is dissecting the technique to show its effectiveness and explaining the scientific reasoning. Geometric positioning and anatomy are important to kenpo and are the foundations of the art. The art studies the human body as much as possible so as to make a perfect art against and for it
It seems simple until you actually try practicing their techniques or principles. I'm a Tae Kwon Do practitioner and thought these techniques were simple until I started experimenting with adding the principles behind them to my TKD techniques. Turned out to be much more complex then I thought. Still compound movements, controlling height and depth zones, taking advantage of natural body mechanics and physics, building combinations off of logical flow or reverse angles all can provide a tactical advantage in a fight or a sparring match.
Jeff Speakman a ete en 1er l'eleve assidu de Lou Angel :eleve du prestigieux Peter Urban "pere du Goju ryu americain. Puis Maitre Urban, le conseilla de se diriger vers Ed Parker. Jeff Speakman deja bien grade en Goju ryu travailla dur au cote d'Ed Parker qui apprecia . Ils devinrent tres proche, Parker lui confia toutes ses techeniques, et ils devinrent plus au moins associes. Trop age Maitre Parker confia la responsabilite a Speakman qui mis au point le kenpo karate 5-0 le systeme d'aujourd'hui . Systeme efficace oriente davantage vers la self defence
Kenpo is hardly BS. Better than not knowing any kind of self-defence. Looks to be one of the more practical forms of traditional MA. But, if one never gets tested for real (e.g. street fights consistently or MMA competitions) all this becomes just another sport or exercise (e.g. TKD). We never see any one traditional MA practitioner enter the octagon and win. Though Royce Gracie was an exception in the start of UFC. We quickly saw how he wouldn't last and as went up against decent MMA guys.
While it is true that being in good shape is preferable to being obese, true martial arts do not absolutely require it. Arts such as Kenpo & Kung Fu have an internal structure that the practitioner must "find." Once said practitioner finds his structure, he can ironically become lazier with his technique (meaning he no longer has to strictly follow textbook motions for the techniques to work). While Mr. Speakman does appear to be over-weight, his Kenpo is better now than when he was young.
Chuck is kickboxing and I have never seen him do this McDOJO crap. I know he grew as a kid with the island version of this but this stuff looks beyond FAKE
all of those only because of a simple jab. The question is whether the opponent will keep maintaining his position waiting for defender to complete doing the long series of moves :D
+Rizal Djohan Probably not. Please remember that these are training techniques. I try to instruct our students by explaining that the techniques in training are just that....training. In a real life situation, you will probably have to modify the technique to fit the situation. Somewhat like hitting bags. You can get the punching and kicking sequences down, but bags don't hit back. Techniques and training equipment, like bags, are just that.....training. You must, in my humble opinion, train with theses tools on real training partners and go what I like call "live". But that is where control must be exercised. Once training with these tools, you can these see how you can modify them to fit the particular situation that you may encounter. That's just my two cents after over 25 years of martial arts and bar room brawling 101...LOL
bags training are core training bro, you get powerful and fast kicks that can be applied to anything. you can use it instantly in fight without doubt. No translation or brainwork process needed to apply it. Applicative training is different. You need to be as simple as possible. What saved you from bar room brawling probably your speed, agility and power, none of my parker's technique :) just saying
I dont know, chuck did alright i guess... if its good for the ice man theres got to be something to grab from it. But then again, most people on here are keyboard blackbelts so they must know all there is to know... take a break people its an expression of art and movement how you apply it is up to you.
I have never seen him use any kenpo in any UFC fights. He just used plain old boxing/take-downs/wrestling. If i am wrong, video link please? BUT, I mean a link where he is using actual kenpo technique in the ring/cage: Delayed Sword, Flashing Wing, Destructive Knee etc. etc. as seen here sticking to kenpo format.
Our we building a trapazoid box or doing matrial arts.. great guy..description is way too complicated..too many high tech terms..height zone, cancel this and cancel that.. I hated math in school..but they werent kidding when they said you need it for everything..;) The problem at the end is this" who's to say that arm will be there for you to grab when hes on the floor and you're on his back.. .too fancy a move.. .. You think someone is going to leave their hand out there for you to grab?
Then train for a real attack with live real training,anyone can stick their arm out a you and counter,do you think mr speakman could block a jab from a seasoned fighter and do all those follow ups please.
It will. Be ugly for sure. At that level of training you wont even have to think, just react. I trained Shotokan for 15 yrs, believe me you dont forget. Multiple shotokan or kenpo strikes will fuck someone up! Judo is defined as "Gentle - Ju, Do -Way." Nothing gentle about judo.
then you go over to his dojo and challenge him and try to take him on and then after you wake up in the hospital, go tell us how it worked out for you.
Way to complicated..too many variables to account for. Opponent wont just stay frozen, he will move, try to grapple you and get you to the ground. Why not just slip and deliver hit to the spleen. Too lame ?
savcob This is a calculated response that happens instantly to incapacitate an opponent in several areas so that if it works they have nothing to pursue you with or if something fails you have many more targets and don't have to slow down to try to fix it, you can simply move on.
again in a free fight you want to be simple and efficient. Simple saves energy, efficient disposes of opponent. PS: watched it again...this may work on a drunkard but that's about it.
I really bothers me that Speakman doesn't know any better. Can you image doing this in a fight. How about he throws a punch at me, I slip it, then I snap a side or font kick to his rib, if he keeps coming I grab him and sweep his feet and down we go to the ground. Then the neck crank is done and suddenly there is a tapping, fight is over.
I don't understand ? you bring the guy to the ground and have his leg ,why would you let it go? And not just break his fucking ankle? That way you don't have to worry about him getting up! I'm sure he'll not want to fight you anymore! the only thing he'll be yelling is call 911!
I am sure your opp will just stay frozen in time for 30 seconds while you perform your 20 chain combo of hell on him. This is something lower than McDojo. Even McDojo Mcdonalds wont teach this crap
Why would any one want to go to the ground like this. Stupid, no mats used in real fights, driving your knee on the floor like that could be quite bad for you.
Chuck was a champ because he learned kick boxing. Secondly he was a wrestler. Chuck never adapted to the real mix in MMA and was koed 5 times in 6 fights. Enough said. While everyone else was learning the sweet science of boxing he was not.
Sorry i respectfully disagree the premise of someone sticking their arm out like a dead robot and then you do all these wonderful follow ups is not what happens in any fight ive ever seen.This is a dangerous lie which will get you hurt for real and epitomizes dead partterned training.fighting must be trained in real time,a defense and counter based on dead movement is not real.the heavy bag works power the speed placement.

love the way these martial arts dissect a dead corpse , the static mummy jab lol try that against somebody who can throw a jab , all the steps become mute you can not intellectualize real fighting with energy and anger with this nonsence no offence but people are learning stuff which will get them killed in real and thats just plain negligence.
+fujimi715 to be honest with you if you are bad no matter what art you train for You always gonna be bad You are the one who has to make your art work so my friend nothing to do with styles
This is the dumbest most anti-traditionalist comment ever based on a dumb kid who probably practices "STREET KARATE" or a stuck up MMA dick, stuck up boxer, "Thai boxer" who doesn't know real Muay Thai from real nak muay, or a shit BJJ dick Traditional martial arts are made to beat people in the real world not a ring. In the ring you parry with the back of your hand whereas in real life if you don't practice traditional karate or another martial art that still does iron bone training, you'd fuck your metacarpals to hell and make your hand useless. You think a two hand party doesn't work? Ask judo Gene Lebell, who did free fighting and made slap and grab famous. Think a thumb can't do damage? Ask Sensei Mas Oyama (Osu), that strike was also a crossface used in wrestling. Then a hammer fist to the kidney? MMA uses hammer fists constantly and the kidney isn't allowed to be hit due to how dangerous it is. A rolling lock on the knee is taught in combat/command Sambo which is used by the spetznav and is also Olympic. Back mount and go grab is judo which is olympic and a very traditional art used in feudal Japan, and the run breaking from the back is used commonly in Japanese jujutsu, and the stomp is extremely common in Okinawan karate and krav maga. All techniques from extremely effective arts. You have no clue what the fuck you are talking about because all of these are techniques from arts that are called the "most practical". Then again that term is bullshit anyway since every martial art and every technique in its entirety is perfect, it's up to you to use it to full potential. And if you really think he can't do it with a double parry then how about he just traces the jab or cuts it short, 2 other techniques he often teaches. I'm a Karateka, so my martial art has a very iffy rep. Some places only see mcDojos and others see only the best karate. My martial art and Gong Fu are the most exploited arts for profit and it ruins our rep, but I train to live and to exceed myself. I know what works for me, and I know that all techniques work for all different people by sparring with various styles constantly to learn and improve. My eyes are open. Open yours too Osu
This is the most absurd jargon I've ever heard. Is this teaching a martial art or trying to sell a pyramid scheme to some new age middle management hipsters?
The Perfect Weapon has some amazing fight scenes even for the 90s.
I've seen it 100 times and still the fight scenes are awesome.
A really excellent teacher. You can just see how he wants the viewer to understand he techniques.
jeff is to one of the greatest teacher left with passing of parker and lee he makes it into such a science i have got some the hands but ill never be half as good as him he is such a great teacher thanks jeff for giving us some of your knowledge
Jeff Speakman IS the Man. He's also a great teacher. Wish I lived closer so I could study under him.
His training dvds are on ebay.
@@LionRVC1987 I'll check it out. Thanks for the tip.
Here is the link to his dvds. I own them and they are excellent!
Master Jeff Speakman is excellent in his demonstration of kenpo and his clear explanations really help understand these techniques. Great stuff!
Well said Rachel Ortiz. That's y I love kenpo. Principles. Everything may not work perfectly but be prepared. I live in Vegas & attend kenpo 5.0 & live it. My body hurts but I live it

also jump cancel is down+z, do u even no what that is, u cant cancel height zone w/out jump counters unless you start ur ultra combo under 12% health, its easier if u buy phantom katana from the shop in leaf town cuz it gives u 20 extra dmg against mobs and mana regen
websslinger Science! Bitches!!
websslinger hahahahahahahahahahahhaahah thank you, man!!!!! I was having a shitty week, then I read your comment...
+websslinger hahahahahaa thanks for this. laughed my ass off :))
+websslinger I was never good in math
Another example of Speakmans genious.
Looks good - as long as your attacker stands there like a statue while you (1) perry, (2) check, (3) thumb strike, (4) hammer-fist, (5) step around and (6) then drop down to one knee for the take-down. If the attacker is that slow, why not just walk to your car and leave instead?

Yes there the first to comment amonths worth of. Mma and they no everthing about martial arts after they comment you check there profile and it usually says it all
i admire the opponent's patience to wait until mr Speakman finishes every moving in a freezed position :D
+Rizal Djohan That is what training partners are for. It really useful, for me anyway, to feel what the techniques does to my body and i Find it then easier to learn and apply that technique.
Please stay frozen for 30 second while I do my 20 chain combos lol
Rizal Djohan to do the same thing and MMA when they're teaching something the opponent is allowing the instructor to complete the technique watch any MMA boxing fight tips video bjj instruction you will see the same thing how else are you gonna see what's going on
David how else is he going to be able to demonstrate it
@Brian Jones , Karate is total garbage and you are better off with Muay Thai for the striking arts. MT does not waste your time with hours of Katas , silly punches and stupid blocks
This is impressive version of Destruction Kneel 5.0 of Jeff Speakman Kenpo Karate the late Ed Parker would be proud.
People who don't spend years training in Kenpo, will never understand it.
I was in boxing for some time as a teen then wrestled in high school. At 18 I took japanese jujitsu, then worked out with a pro kick boxer for a few years. I fight the way i fight, very few rules. I think MMA is great to study, they are the best of the best in and out of the ring.
clearcombat
Best in the ring
Not the best out of the ring at all
And now I see why your opinion is so idiotically screwed to hell.
as you can clearly see, on youtube there are wannabe fighters who hide behind thier computer & run thier mouth when they have little or no experience in fighting or being a fighter. AND when they are confronted and challenged - they quickly try to talk thier way out of the fight. A true fighter never runs away from the fight, he runs towards it. If they REALLY think they are tough guys they would go down to Speakman's dojo and fight him. But they niether have the balls or the backbone to do it.
For those of you who don't understand all the terms used, kenpo was founded off of the same techniques that would later become karate, however they took two very different paths. Karate was birthed in battle and had less time for theory and merely time for concept and application.
Kenpo had a lot of time to develop and much research was put into maximizing the attack with the least amount of energy by using scientific analysis of motion and the human structure.
Karate does the same but less formally and focuses more on uke and prevention/cancelation as well as being very response and auto-ability oriented while kenpo focuses on training you to know simple strikes to vital targets but understanding theory so you are never without motion and you are able to think and fight simultaneously by thinking during the simple movements you know by muscle and acting your thoughts in between that time. Karate is all one motion while kenpo is a calculated attack.
All martial arts are created equal but each has specialties. Kenpo like BJJ is the thinking mans martial art.
Im a karateka that has kenpo practitioner friends
Osu
I’ve trained authentic Krav Maga in 2005-2007 yet I feel this is better
The perfect weapon awesome dude
@borobei because EPAK contains so little actual kenpo that was taught to parker from Chow it really cannot be called kenpo let alone traditional kenpo which is why it is called EPAK (Ed Parker's kenpo).
The important is the technique we have to consider the age of the people too.
I think some people are missing the point, those first hits, by the time you realise what hit you, someone with this speed will hit you again and do manoeuvres before you react the way you're thinking you will.
Cancel leg? How big is the hit box? What about for charge characters like Blanca or M. Bison?
@MrBotheman I practiced a kenpo for a few years,(the others i have spent practicing other martial arts). I believe it is a very practical martial art, but at the same time there is some of that is a bit excessive.

boy that downward hammerfist really looks like it would do some damage.
@ptrodrigu 100% agree, but you're not driving your knee into the ground, just kneeling it. technique does seems (i would never do it to completion :p).. but if you're already on the ground, that takedown could give you the chance to get back up to your feet. same as that back mount if yer in a 1v1 situation, in a house or dirt or grass, not a street :p
I love these vids, is the same people who do Enter the Dojo?
Why the hostility?
Bad guy, throw punch, don't make contact, then do not pull your punch back, and don't resist while the good guy does his thing, and make sure you react exactly how he wants you to
@StormX3 That is kenpo terminology so long explanations are not required, we know what he means when he uses these terms.
Lol..at 0.50 , i like when the guy on ground after having rib broken and stomped on , still reaches out to grab jeff leg as hes walking away.
The last stand, brave opponent brings a new meaning to the word sacrifice, LOL.
@akrocuba I agree. I also believe that most of the best fighters in MMA are respectfull of Traditional Martial Arts. Like GSP, Anderson Silva and Lyoto Machida.. Although GSP did a very bad kata demo at a UFC event that hasa been posted on youtube. Destructive Knee is .. destructive.
0:07 use a the left fist/palm up into jaw, right leg sweep to opponent's left slamming them into the ground. Or left kick into groin. Chaos
Well said, you are on target.
Kempo is so powerful that your opponent freezes in time after his first punch so you can kick the shit out of him. Thumbs up for Kempo !
@Nathaniel Abbott No, Kempo is so powerful that your opponent freezes in time so you can deliver a shitload of blows.
@Nathaniel Abbott you're too stupid to understand a joke, right?
Kenpo is the real life equavilent of tekkons Mishima karate.
El maestro solamente está enseñando las secuencias de la técnica
Now try this against a resisting opponent who won’t let you carry on like this. 👎
Point is to keep attacking so he wont attack you, not just knock him out like a MMA fighter
The reason for the frame by frame breakdown for these techniques is to TEACH!!!!!!! Do you really think in a real life situation it would be remotely like that?????? Obviously, anyone who questions that has no training in anything!!!!
Under stress, you do what you train. There are plenty of wrestlers who have been stabbed to death going for a double leg, there are plenty of MMA fighters who have had their heads kicked in by the mate of the guy they've just got into mount and there are plenty of Aikidoka who have been battered to a bloody pulp waiting for that one big attack where the bad guy over extends himself.
Laurie Caspoli: Exactly. That is why training with static partners is useless. No-one in real life will just stand/lay there while you do 7 moves. So why train it like they would. Try with a resisting partner and see what does and doesn't work. You won't be able to half of this if they did. It is just to pre-set.
"That is why training with static partners is useless".
So, by this logic, training with a heavy bag is useless.
No-one in real life will just stand there while you hit them 7 times, so why train it like they would?
It would not work in a real life situation
nice move for my students
What do you mean by that???
Question? Shouldn't you be nullifying the attackers inverted centrifugal thrust parameters prior to executing an accelerated variance technique at a torque range of that distance? I mean sure, given that he is likely sustaining perpendicular refraction of your downward orbital mass and consequently has sacrificed his angular momentum velocity by .04, you could alright - but why chance it.
"Everyone has a plan - until they get punched in the face." Mike Tyson
Good script for movies, bad for fighting. Fighting is live and spontaneous, not a scripted clash between programmed robots fighting from memory. As long as the students understand that and fit this long chain of moves within the more realistic context of fighting, aided by contact sparring, then these insanely long sequences or drills can serve to help a fighter physically execute certain moves or serve as a dictionary or catalogue of moves👍🏻
At least three other options after first dodge, but any move showed is an asset.
for all the keyboard gangsters, any training is better than no training. anything can work for anyone plain and simple.
yes you right, thats the key

Kenpo is a thinking mans martial art
Imma just post what I said before
"For those of you who don't understand all the terms used, kenpo was founded off of the same techniques that would later become karate, however they took two very different paths. Karate was birthed in battle and had less time for theory and merely time for concept and application.
Kenpo had a lot of time to develop and much research was put into maximizing the attack with the least amount of energy by using scientific analysis of motion and the human structure.
Karate does the same but less formally and focuses more on uke and prevention/cancelation as well as being very response and auto-ability oriented while kenpo focuses on training you to know simple strikes to vital targets but understanding theory so you are never without motion and you are able to think and fight simultaneously by thinking during the simple movements you know by muscle and acting your thoughts in between that time. Karate is all one motion while kenpo is a calculated attack.
All martial arts are created equal but each has specialties. Kenpo like BJJ is the thinking mans martial art."
training something stupid = excellence in stupidity. poor logic
actually that is incorrect, if you train to do useless things, you will be an expert at being useless.
any training is better than no training only applies when you are actually training something useful and practical. many kenpo guys get super angry and offended but they should try to objectively analyse american kenpo and study the true backstory of ed parker. the guy is the L Ron Hubbard of martial arts, he just made it all up.
GokuInfintysaiyan wow you have no idea what you're talking about
where you think tekken got it from
You don't need more than 5 moves to take the guy out permanently do you ? It's a case of heavy 3 hits or 20 light hits .... Which takes longer ... Depends on the martial artist doing it ...
this is all good in theory and slo mo, but i would like to see it enacted in real time against an opponent who is fighting back
why is it that people of little martialarts experience and or fighting experience comment and say stupid shit without nothing to back up thier comment or arguement. That is why on my videos i censor the comments because i am sick and tired of these assholes who mouth off about my stuff who i would tap out or knockout. Sensei Speakman gave a excellent demo.
Kenpo is practically dangerous
Alot of words to describe each move/sequence. He could have included the reason why you have to do the sequence like that. Remember friends, longer the desription longer it is to master. So from white belt to 6th dan or whatever Kenpo's variation is. 15 years easy, before you can defend yourself well. I do have experience in martial arts such as; tae kwon do, judo, boxing, wing chun, kali/silat, and going for my purple belt in BJJ.
Loved Perfect Weapon, but I don't get what ur doing. Technique was written for a step through left not a left jab they are not the same. Also why go down when you don't have to. Kenpo is street art. Going down takes away the choice to simply flee, also your giving your back to your opponents budy who is coming to help.
you can tell jeff really likes to mount his "partner" I think his eyes twinkled alittle lol
Every video i've watched of this seems like really basic shit made out to be incredibly complicated and given extensive names to make it sound more impressive than it really is.
bloodriotiori
He is dissecting the technique to show its effectiveness and explaining the scientific reasoning. Geometric positioning and anatomy are important to kenpo and are the foundations of the art. The art studies the human body as much as possible so as to make a perfect art against and for it
It seems simple until you actually try practicing their techniques or principles. I'm a Tae Kwon Do practitioner and thought these techniques were simple until I started experimenting with adding the principles behind them to my TKD techniques. Turned out to be much more complex then I thought. Still compound movements, controlling height and depth zones, taking advantage of natural body mechanics and physics, building combinations off of logical flow or reverse angles all can provide a tactical advantage in a fight or a sparring match.
Jeff Speakman a ete en 1er l'eleve assidu de Lou Angel :eleve du prestigieux Peter Urban "pere du Goju ryu
americain. Puis Maitre Urban, le conseilla de se diriger vers Ed Parker. Jeff Speakman deja bien grade en Goju ryu travailla dur au cote d'Ed Parker qui apprecia . Ils devinrent tres proche, Parker lui confia toutes ses techeniques, et ils devinrent plus au moins associes. Trop age Maitre Parker confia la responsabilite a
Speakman qui mis au point le kenpo karate 5-0 le systeme d'aujourd'hui . Systeme efficace oriente davantage vers la self defence
Kenpo is hardly BS. Better than not knowing any kind of self-defence. Looks to be one of the more practical forms of traditional MA. But, if one never gets tested for real (e.g. street fights consistently or MMA competitions) all this becomes just another sport or exercise (e.g. TKD).
We never see any one traditional MA practitioner enter the octagon and win. Though Royce Gracie was an exception in the start of UFC. We quickly saw how he wouldn't last and as went up against decent MMA guys.
Try this in MMA/a real fight.
I wish I could talk to him I'm a speakman
While it is true that being in good shape is preferable to being obese, true martial arts do not absolutely require it. Arts such as Kenpo & Kung Fu have an internal structure that the practitioner must "find." Once said practitioner finds his structure, he can ironically become lazier with his technique (meaning he no longer has to strictly follow textbook motions for the techniques to work). While Mr. Speakman does appear to be over-weight, his Kenpo is better now than when he was young.
Chuck Liddell is kempo... enough said
Chuck is kickboxing and I have never seen him do this McDOJO crap. I know he grew as a kid with the island version of this but this stuff looks beyond FAKE
all of those only because of a simple jab.
The question is whether the opponent will keep maintaining his position waiting for defender to complete doing the long series of moves :D
+Rizal Djohan Probably not. Please remember that these are training techniques. I try to instruct
our students by explaining that the techniques in training are just
that....training. In a real life situation, you will probably have to
modify the technique to fit the situation. Somewhat like hitting bags.
You can get the punching and kicking sequences down, but bags don't hit
back. Techniques and training equipment, like bags, are just
that.....training. You must, in my humble opinion, train with theses
tools on real training partners and go what I like call "live". But that
is where control must be exercised. Once training with these tools, you
can these see how you can modify them to fit the particular situation
that you may encounter.
That's just my two cents after over 25 years of martial arts and bar
room brawling 101...LOL
bags training are core training bro, you get powerful and fast kicks that can be applied to anything. you can use it instantly in fight without doubt. No translation or brainwork process needed to apply it. Applicative training is different. You need to be as simple as possible. What saved you from bar room brawling probably your speed, agility and power, none of my parker's technique :) just saying
I am sure your opp will patiently just stay frozen for 20 seconds and let you hit him dozens of times lol
You call yourself a street fighter? Most people would call you a violent criminal.
I'd like to see this work in real life. How about a more reasonable move like fading back, then into a sidekick with full hip extension to the knee.
???
It seems like overkill to do anything after the takedown. Just run away after the takedown.
Zone of sanctuary? lol
I dont know, chuck did alright i guess... if its good for the ice man theres got to be something to grab from it. But then again, most people on here are keyboard blackbelts so they must know all there is to know... take a break people its an expression of art and movement how you apply it is up to you.
I have never seen him use any kenpo in any UFC fights. He just used plain old boxing/take-downs/wrestling. If i am wrong, video link please?
BUT, I mean a link where he is using actual kenpo technique in the ring/cage: Delayed Sword, Flashing Wing, Destructive Knee etc. etc. as seen here sticking to kenpo format.
Our we building a trapazoid box or doing matrial arts.. great guy..description is way too complicated..too many high tech terms..height zone, cancel this and cancel that.. I hated math in school..but they werent kidding when they said you need it for everything..;) The problem at the end is this" who's to say that arm will be there for you to grab when hes on the floor and you're on his back.. .too fancy a move.. .. You think someone is going to leave their hand out there for you to grab?
Then train for a real attack with live real training,anyone can stick their arm out a you and counter,do you think mr speakman could block a jab from a seasoned fighter and do all those follow ups please.
kenpo follow the script
@cptmiche kenpo is not a soft martial art. do more homework.
Wow. I think he genuinely believes this will work.
It will. Be ugly for sure. At that level of training you wont even have to think, just react. I trained Shotokan for 15 yrs, believe me you dont forget. Multiple shotokan or kenpo strikes will fuck someone up! Judo is defined as "Gentle - Ju, Do -Way." Nothing gentle about judo.
then you go over to his dojo and challenge him and try to take him on and then after you wake up in the hospital, go tell us how it worked out for you.
This is nice but what about his friends no one fights alone on the streets. There is no shoot a fair one people get jumped Now
Um ow
Way to complicated..too many variables to account for. Opponent wont just stay frozen, he will move, try to grapple you and get you to the ground. Why not just slip and deliver hit to the spleen. Too lame ?
savcob
This is a calculated response that happens instantly to incapacitate an opponent in several areas so that if it works they have nothing to pursue you with or if something fails you have many more targets and don't have to slow down to try to fix it, you can simply move on.
again in a free fight you want to be simple and efficient. Simple saves energy, efficient disposes of opponent.
PS: watched it again...this may work on a drunkard but that's about it.
interesting.
Dude.. then he would teach something different for that move... One move at a time.
@f1ynn lol
I really bothers me that Speakman doesn't know any better. Can you image doing this in a fight. How about he throws a punch at me, I slip it, then I snap a side or font kick to his rib, if he keeps coming I grab him and sweep his feet and down we go to the ground. Then the neck crank is done and suddenly there is a tapping, fight is over.
I love Jeff but he must realize by now that this type of play by play won’t work against any experienced fighter
excuse me Mr. Mugger stand still while I check your height zone...........!
🤣🤣
I don't understand ? you bring the guy to the ground and have his leg ,why would you let it go? And not just break his fucking ankle? That way you don't have to worry about him getting up! I'm sure he'll not want to fight you anymore! the only thing he'll be yelling is call 911!
all that effort for only 1 simple punch :(
i am pleased that nineteen wise and intelligent people agree with me.
I am sure your opp will just stay frozen in time for 30 seconds while you perform your 20 chain combo of hell on him. This is something lower than McDojo. Even McDojo Mcdonalds wont teach this crap
I loved him in Perfect weapon, but all these "techniques" are horse shit for real fighting😒👎
Ed Parker passed out Black Belt ranks like candy on Halloween night
Why would any one want to go to the ground like this. Stupid, no mats used in real fights, driving your knee on the floor like that could be quite bad for you.
Bahahahahahahaha
So much for the hunk that once was Jeff Speakman huh?
Your combat is not clear. Please take the moment to reflect.
Chuck was a champ because he learned kick boxing. Secondly he was a wrestler. Chuck never adapted to the real mix in MMA and was koed 5 times in 6 fights. Enough said. While everyone else was learning the sweet science of boxing he was not.
Sorry i respectfully disagree the premise of someone sticking their arm out like a dead robot and then you do all these wonderful follow ups is not what happens in any fight ive ever seen.This is a dangerous lie which will get you hurt for real and epitomizes dead partterned training.fighting must be trained in real time,a defense and counter based on dead movement is not real.the heavy bag works power the speed placement.

love the way these martial arts dissect a dead corpse , the static mummy jab lol try that against somebody who can throw a jab , all the steps become mute you can not intellectualize real fighting with energy and anger with this nonsence no offence but people are learning stuff which will get them killed in real and thats just plain negligence.
ya don't say?!?
Techniques are just tools That gives you an idea how to act in real situation In real life you have to apply everything you know
+Wilson Samuel in real life this kind of stuff doesn't apply. these techniques don't work on the street in a real attack
+fujimi715 to be honest with you if you are bad no matter what art you train for You always gonna be bad You are the one who has to make your art work so my friend nothing to do with styles
This is the dumbest most anti-traditionalist comment ever based on a dumb kid who probably practices "STREET KARATE" or a stuck up MMA dick, stuck up boxer, "Thai boxer" who doesn't know real Muay Thai from real nak muay, or a shit BJJ dick
Traditional martial arts are made to beat people in the real world not a ring. In the ring you parry with the back of your hand whereas in real life if you don't practice traditional karate or another martial art that still does iron bone training, you'd fuck your metacarpals to hell and make your hand useless. You think a two hand party doesn't work? Ask judo Gene Lebell, who did free fighting and made slap and grab famous. Think a thumb can't do damage? Ask Sensei Mas Oyama (Osu), that strike was also a crossface used in wrestling. Then a hammer fist to the kidney? MMA uses hammer fists constantly and the kidney isn't allowed to be hit due to how dangerous it is. A rolling lock on the knee is taught in combat/command Sambo which is used by the spetznav and is also Olympic. Back mount and go grab is judo which is olympic and a very traditional art used in feudal Japan, and the run breaking from the back is used commonly in Japanese jujutsu, and the stomp is extremely common in Okinawan karate and krav maga.
All techniques from extremely effective arts. You have no clue what the fuck you are talking about because all of these are techniques from arts that are called the "most practical". Then again that term is bullshit anyway since every martial art and every technique in its entirety is perfect, it's up to you to use it to full potential. And if you really think he can't do it with a double parry then how about he just traces the jab or cuts it short, 2 other techniques he often teaches.
I'm a Karateka, so my martial art has a very iffy rep. Some places only see mcDojos and others see only the best karate. My martial art and Gong Fu are the most exploited arts for profit and it ruins our rep, but I train to live and to exceed myself. I know what works for me, and I know that all techniques work for all different people by sparring with various styles constantly to learn and improve. My eyes are open. Open yours too
Osu
If for real a jab is too fast for all this. It would be out and back before you do anything.
This is the most absurd jargon I've ever heard. Is this teaching a martial art or trying to sell a pyramid scheme to some new age middle management hipsters?
