Most of the Kenpo Instructors I have trained with teach this way or better. BEWARE: there's a lot of bullshit online and ANYONE can just make a video. But we who REALLY study under REAL qualified and established instructors can tell the difference. So....let me ask you, since you not into Kenpo, what ARE you into and do you study Martial Arts at all? Of course you don't have to answer but I was just curious because of your comment. Have a good one.
Good form with respect to the philosophy of technique. It's important to learn forms for discipline... But in a real suddenly surprised sidewalk pushing situation against your person (and believe me when I say I got pushed many times when I least expected it coming and so it arrives as a surprise) chances are you are going to miss the opportunity to counter - unless you are on guard every moment of the day. So, if it was missed it's best to step in and quickly execute a backhand strike across the side of the temple or to the eye. He is done. Also, to avoid further conflict a soild fullhouse smack to the face with a Karate yell will overwhelm your opponent. This will usually seal the deal. It will greatly intimidate him. He will be stunned and you can walk away. Or just push back with more force. I've done it. The opponent was stunned and he walked away. If there are two opponents (and I had them) that takes quick action to subdue the other. But again, fast action on the first with an over powering smack and yell could very well get the second schmuck to back off. Any man being fiercely smacked in the face by another man is so demoralizing that it heavily out weighs being punched in the face - and you most likely won't have to worry about legal consequences later on. I studied under 9th degree Master Thomas Kelly who was Ed Parker's right-hand man for years. You were taught how to get out of a situation with quick action than escape. I subscribed and gave you a thumbs up.
If anyone can tell me in the comments, are the master in american kenpo karate much like the ones in the video go over 10th degree or do they follow ed parks when he says to grow in the art ( learning other styles of fighting)
I’m not into kenpo but this instructor really delivers it in a more practical way .. very cool

They usually stop at 10th and follow Parker
