Kenpo looks more Kung-Fu base than any other Karate I seen. Jeff Speakman love his movie the The perfect Weapon. I'm a TKD,and Boxer, person but I just love looking at any Martial art much props. Folks don't realize Martial Arts is alot of hard work you will not get good unless you put the time into it.
I was a tkd guy in early eighty's but in late eighty's I walked into an American kenpo school and was so impressed I joined and became a kenpo guy.and it comes from Japanese kenpo Wich came from Chinese kempo Wich came from Kung Fu.Kenpo for life.
The exhibition in 2004 is but a variation by Mr Speakman of what Mr Parker had been doing this type of exhibition since 1964 and before and it has been part of all Kenpo shows that I recall. This is Mr Speakman's version as of that date and I am sure the choreography has evolved over time. Those who evaluate Kenpos potential as a fighting art through this video totally miss the point that this is meant to demonstrate the excitement, speed, coordination and potential of the art. As a student privileged to work with many of the highest ranking Masters including Mr Parker over the past 35 years - to a person they would say the art as a fighting system has been established and systematized over the years and the true measure of its value comes from the student and what they bring to the art and the amount of time they spend mastering its skills. While Mr Parker evolved hundreds of endings to its techniques he would be first to say that the secret to Kenpo mastery is in learning the basics- through repetition and real body work. And when the student reached a high enough level of skill he would be acting in what Mr Parker liked to call a gaseous state, where the moves flowed almost without thought in a continuous fashion and the basics are melded into a flow of aggression to match the situation. Michael Bobrow
As a kenpo instructor I've never told my students that the katas and techs would be what they used irl. They are for learning how/where/when to use strikes/blocks, for learning how to marry or flow from one strike to the next, and to open your mind to ways to attack/defend (we use alot of improve drilling as well). Anyone teaching them otherwise, with all due respect, is going to get someone killed.
It's awesome to see people that may need to lose a few pounds and aren't so flexible doing backflips and jumping spinning back kicks! Jeff Speakmen must have been an amazing teacher, no doubt.
I used to be a Black Belt practitioner, of Kenpo Karate, back in the 1980s; this video reminds me of why I packed it up, and switched to more authentic traditional Martial Arts - supplemented by basic "combatives" for 'unarmed combat' training. Demos like this just seem pretty silly to me now!
How so? My only comment would be that Jeff packed on the pounds. Doesn't look very good in demo's having to carry the extra weight. Prevents some movements from being fluid. Can make a great Kata person suddenly look sloppy.
Mr. Speakman's Demo Team, composed by. Mr. Anto Parseghian, Mr. Berj Parseghian, Mr. Rodrigo Fernández, Mr. Morgan Tolliver. We performed in front of near 2000 people at 3600 mts above the sea level in the beautiful city of La Paz - Bolivia. November 2004
Fat or skinny, I wouldn't mess wit none of them. Being Fat don't mean shit. When u have years of experience kicking ass, it's a wrap. Much respect to Jeff!!!! He's really amazing!!
A lot of critics of Jeff Speakman, at least he's out there promoting the art as he understands it, has a good following and his guys have skills. Lighten up folks. Keeping the flame alive in a post Ed Parker world.
The disrespect in the comments is unbelievable. None of you guys will ever put in the work to achieve two black belts in a martial art, and also have them be 8th and 9th Degree Black Belts.
wrong. I got a 2nd degree black belt in Shaolin kempo and it is a garbage self defense system. completely worthless in real life. its not disrespectful to point out the truth. what's disrespectful is these arts falsely preach that they teach self defense
Michael Kenpo,any of our attacks in kempo would take an eye or groin or throat or neck and turn it to mush,let them rave on,better to have this than some other wasted motion
In school I saw an older kid getting picked on he was overweight and just got slapped hard by this black kid he had his hands up and was backing away. He then took off his glasses and I could see he was crying. He breathed and took that bully down fast with what initially looked like flaring arms only to realize he was the only standing and that those were a multitude of strikes. I remember asking Stewart how he did that as he stood kind of like he was trying to balance on a tight rope or something (actually looked kind of funny? I asked how he did that? He said my parents couldn't afford N.E.S for my birthday but my moms friend gives us a low income discount at the gym. I remember all the tournaments he enjoyed!!!!! What I remember most is that he never bragged, he knew what he was capable of and really had nothing to prove.
My dear friend, I feal great respect to thoes who dedicate their lives to martial arts and normaly post no comments as sutch. But in this case I see some clumsy dudes creating a very dangerous ilusion of being a fighter. I shall watch more vids with this "guru".
Those who know their arts and don't get too scared in a fight to remember them do well. Those who forget everything they know because they are keyboard candy asses who spoke to the wrong person with disrespect the way they do on facebook and youtube videos usually get their little asses kicked. It doesn't matter the art, it matters the person. Be good to one another, this life is too short.
no disrespect but looks too intricate to work in a real fight. I like the rapid-fire shots and low kicks, not sure about all the checking and blocking and katas and the rest, it takes years to learn when special forces are deadly after 6 months of training.
let me see him fight. That is all I need. The rest is an illusion. My skepticism is based on my experience. Nothing more. You have been practicing MA for how long? I mean full contact with minimum rules.
It's a style that doesn't mess around, but I do think you should be able to throw an elbow, farther than you stomach. the guys are great and Jeff is renown, I just laughed at that bit with the big guy. the art does it's business though. be well guys.
It wasn't a bad system, there was some stuff I really liked, like their street-oriented groundfighting over BJJ but overall it seems it would be better to start with Israeli Krav Maga then switch from other systems. I am looking to learn WW2 combatives. I think Carl Cestari's material will be more compatible with the striking I've been exposed to. The Line System looked interesting though.
So I did. That technique is too stupid even for the movie. Like, one dude is just standing and doing nothing, the "master" is doing fancy dance around.
Just one problem, even 10 years ago, look at how heavy he is breathing. And he did not gain weight because of health issues like another post stated. All the Kenpo guys were known for gaining weight, because Kenpo is such an efficient art.
I have been in class when Speakmen was there and man YOU DO NOT WANT TO MOVE. When he does his techniques. He can get so dam close with out touching you. but if you move IT HURTS Like heck
Scary story man. Glad you are still with us. I have been caught off guard even with friends, it's human. I now am always looking around and you won't believe what is happening around you when you really stare. I am a personal security officer and the shit I see about to happen will blow your mind. Try it. look into a parking lot and watch people get on each others nerves. Stay strong.
you are right, i`m black belt in kenpo kosho ryu a two people attacked me, i survived, it was an instinct, but it´s different in real life, to many tricks doesn`t work at all, keep it simple, we have to learn haw to punch and kick as quickly as we can and run, real fight isn`t like a movie we have to face it that
Mr. Speakman is also a true innovater in the art. He added a ground fighting element to kenpo with his 5.0 system. I was always told to do my kenpo on the ground but I never saw how that was possible. how do you use back up mass or gravitational marriage when you are flat on your back with some 250 pound bad guy pounding on you? Mr. Speakman is a true kenpoist and Mr. Parker would/did agree.
I am a big Jeff Speakman fan from the Perfect Weapon. But it is a shame how much he's let his physique go over the years. In PW he was relatively lean/athletic.
Man this is sad with all the kids taking Kyukoshin,Bjj,Ashihara, and similar styles these fake exercise Katas could get you hurt out there on the steet
Removing all bad comments will not help. Train real karate, real wushu, real Thay Boxing, real anything, but not this... I understand, that is hard to find anything real in USA, but I believe there are some real masters there. Not McDojo. These dudes are clumsy. Sorry, but it is true. Cant stop trolling.
yeah, kenpo people unfortunately are brainwashed. anyone who trains real martial arts or combat sports can see this is pure nonsense. Ed Parker was a conman and a lying sack of shit who was never a black belt in anything and there's no fight record of him, only his claims of being a "street fighter". this is NOT KARATE, and has no connections or similarity to any real Karate.
I agree, even Krav Maga is sometimes over rated. I am in my fifties and had a fight with a neighbor recently, why he would want to pick a fight with me is startling, he knows I pratice martial arts. I ended the confrontation with a palm heel to his chest with full power after giving him several warnings to get off my property. He felt because he is this body builder bully he could start a fight with me, well he was surprised after he went 20 feet across my lawn. Use what you know.
I agree w/cute little kings. I love kenpo to death but some shit just ain't practical. I took traditional kenpo for 5yrs, then went to a different system known as Jeet-Kenpo. It was the best
Why do people who see someone perform kata think that the person doing the kata believes that it is realistic and exactly how you will fight? When at a basic level at most schools they tell you that katas teach you coordination which will be useful in a fight situation just ask Machida and GSP who till this day practice their katas.
It really looks like some Michael Jackson dancing. I was waiting for the moonwalk twist and then ont he toes. but they kept it by Thriller and Beat it dance routines
I think kenpo has too many techniques. Less is more in terms of self-defense. Know about Hick's Law? I think kenpo's great to watch, I can't do what Jeff Speakman does, he could obviously whoop me easily. I just think in the time it takes to become that good you could take RBSD and be able to whoop most people in about 6 months.
These guys watch far too many action movies. These forms are so far detached from real world application this is border line comedic.As a martial arts demonstration its poor at best regardless of how fake Kenpo is.
you know how this stuff works right? when someone comes to attack you, you start doing all the crazy hand gestures and silly footwork while doing weird mouth sounds, and then the attacker will think you are mentally challenged and decide to leave you alone. that's the true application of this nonsense.
also you are right the opponent wouldn't just be doing nothing he would be curling and moving in pain from each strike to vital targets, which is another variable kenpo addresses, please watch some paul mills videos and see the light
Danger Zone from "Top Gun"? Cheesy. Bad choice of music. And the music was too loud. Couldn't hear the guys Ki. They weren't moving to the beat. :P Why have the music?
@@markleebond1 investigalo, mitose era el que invento el kenpo, un tipo que termino preso y murio en la carcel. un crminal. su alumno era ed parker que nisiquiera era cinta negra en nada, le pagó a otro tipo para inventar algunas formas/katas y vender eso como kenpo americano. las tecnicas son todas fantasiosas y no son practicas porque fueron inventadas al aire. pero mas alla de todo eso... nadie pelea como ves en kenpo! es un desastre. cachetaditas y gritos, movimientos bizarros esotericos, vueltitas,. etc. eso no es karate, es una imitacion rara de kung fu fantasioso.

@@markleebond1 tu respuesta demuestra tu lavado cerebral. un problema muy comun en las artes marciales, cuando una persona le dedica tanto tiempo a un estilo termina teniendo el mismo efecto que un culto religioso o una ideologia politica., Donde el practicante de ese estilo no puede siquiera considerar criticar o considerar que su estilo no es bueno, o que sus "maestros" son charlatanes (como parker, mitose, tatum, sullivan, etc.). Todos los practicantes de kenpo lo sufren severamente. cuando alguien les hace una observacion sobre el kenpo, se sienten atacados a nivel personal. porque es muy doloroso aceptar que todo el tiempo que dedicaron al kenpo no tiene valor. Pero bueno, cada uno es libre de pensar o creer lo que lo haga feliz. si te gusta el kenpo entonces es cosa tuya. aunque no sirva a nivel practico y tenga un origen completamente cuestionable. la ignorancia es solamente por parte tuya. pero los ignorantes viven felices en su mundo. saludos.
I been teaching the Drunken Master style at my local bar for many years and accept new students during Happy Hour

Karate is no different than dance classes. You have to have a cooperative partner. It’s as beneficial as years of ballet would be in a real fight.

I agree, looks like he may have been a crossover from another form like TKD. I was impressed with his technique.

See remember to always restomp the groin
Kenpo rocks ...
If you like swatting at flies...
Jeff's kneeling back there, all out of breath.
What do back flips have to do with self defense?
Kiai!!
just let me see this Speakman fight.
watch a movie titled, The Perfect Weapon. Made in 91 and a good movie. I give it 8.5 on the Kickass-o-meter
they're playing the song "i've got the hunger" from the demo to the pizza hut, stat
Man I like those line drills.it really give one a sence of a fight especial when the line speeds up. To me the line drill is the only way to train

In the streets! not inside a bored cage is the real stuff.
The rest is an ilusion. 😂
With all of that being said, I'd still like to train with him.
Jeff Speakman is the only one on this vid that moves like a Kenpo guy.

wonder why boxers never do demos or lectures or seminars...
Damn.. them 20 years really hurts huh?
This stuff is fast becoming extinct with the advent of reality -based arts
So I did. That technique is too stupid even for the movie. Like, one dude is just standing and doing nothing, the "master" is doing fancy dance around.
Love the moves Sensei Speakman --- you the man !
Just one problem, even 10 years ago, look at how heavy he is breathing. And he did not gain weight because of health issues like another post stated. All the Kenpo guys were known for gaining weight, because Kenpo is such an efficient art.
Keith Lebron your worried about his weight? do you workout or just post stupid comments,
I have been in class when Speakmen was there and man YOU DO NOT WANT TO MOVE. When he does his techniques. He can get so dam close with out touching you. but if you move IT HURTS Like heck

Where can a civilian learn more about the Line System?
Incredible!
Very quick...
Damn, what's with that pony keg that Speakman's carrying?
Music awards?
some one can tell me wich is the first song? thaks.
Your right kakuichi--I thought everyone knew this?
excelent demo... what is the name of this song?, please
Did you ever find out? 😀
I agree, even Krav Maga is sometimes over rated. I am in my fifties and had a fight with a neighbor recently, why he would want to pick a fight with me is startling, he knows I pratice martial arts. I ended the confrontation with a palm heel to his chest with full power after giving him several warnings to get off my property. He felt because he is this body builder bully he could start a fight with me, well he was surprised after he went 20 feet across my lawn. Use what you know.

Much respect to all the guys . Sensei Jeff looks a little stiff in the legs
They should have slowed it down. :) Put in some rhythm. It was like they were in a hurry to get out of there.
Why do people who see someone perform kata think that the person doing the kata believes that it is realistic and exactly how you will fight?
When at a basic level at most schools they tell you that katas teach you coordination which will be useful in a fight situation just ask Machida and GSP who till this day practice their katas.
It really looks like some Michael Jackson dancing. I was waiting for the moonwalk twist and then ont he toes. but they kept it by Thriller and Beat it dance routines

Flashy and technical
That bow came from Hun gar Kung fu
what is RBSD
I think kenpo has too many techniques. Less is more in terms of self-defense. Know about Hick's Law? I think kenpo's great to watch, I can't do what Jeff Speakman does, he could obviously whoop me easily. I just think in the time it takes to become that good you could take RBSD and be able to whoop most people in about 6 months.
Lol thanks I needed a good laugh
I am looking for power, precision and grace. I found neither.
Debunked what? A form demonstration? O_o
what happened to speakman?
They are slow , sloppy , and their punches and kicks are all over the place. Mr Ed Parker would roll over in his grave.
highway to the hamburger zone
+Peter Brennan lol!
This is pretty funny. I loved the Perfect Weapon when I was a kid. This is amusing to watch now, though.
I have seen more life in an empty chip packet...
"highway to the hamburger zone" so funny, I had to repeat it
If you were ever curious karate is basically just dance class look no further my friends.
These guys watch far too many action movies. These forms are so far detached from real world application this is border line comedic.As a martial arts demonstration its poor at best regardless of how fake Kenpo is.
you know how this stuff works right?
when someone comes to attack you, you start doing all the crazy hand gestures and silly footwork while doing weird mouth sounds, and then the attacker will think you are mentally challenged and decide to leave you alone.
that's the true application of this nonsense.

It is not a disease. It is not nice to talk about Jeff Speakman like that . You should apologize.
In descending order; these are the least combat effective styles Akido-Kenpo-Tai Chi-Yoga-..........
You must be a master dumb Fu.
It's a good demo but it is so overkill.....
MMA and UFC are SPORTS... enough said

Bueno a veces la ignorancia es atrevida. 🤔
@@markleebond1 tu respuesta demuestra tu lavado cerebral. un problema muy comun en las artes marciales, cuando una persona le dedica tanto tiempo a un estilo termina teniendo el mismo efecto que un culto religioso o una ideologia politica.,
Donde el practicante de ese estilo no puede siquiera considerar criticar o considerar que su estilo no es bueno, o que sus "maestros" son charlatanes (como parker, mitose, tatum, sullivan, etc.).
Todos los practicantes de kenpo lo sufren severamente. cuando alguien les hace una observacion sobre el kenpo, se sienten atacados a nivel personal. porque es muy doloroso aceptar que todo el tiempo que dedicaron al kenpo no tiene valor.
Pero bueno, cada uno es libre de pensar o creer lo que lo haga feliz. si te gusta el kenpo entonces es cosa tuya. aunque no sirva a nivel practico y tenga un origen completamente cuestionable. la ignorancia es solamente por parte tuya. pero los ignorantes viven felices en su mundo. saludos.
