Let the laws of motion do the talking

Speed is not always your friend

I have a similar quote from Mr. Inosanto here (kenpo notes link).

They are slightly different, but in essence the same. 

Recent videos by Mr. Sascha Williams

Mr. Sascha Williams recently came out with three videos showing the importance of "pressure testing" some basic kenpo techniques. The idea is to see what you have to do to make them work if your attacker throws two or more punches and not just the typical one punch and then wait for you to execute the technique. 

They are fun to watch and bring up some good points on how we should be practicing our kenpo to make it as realistic as we can. 

Video 1 goes over Attacking Mace, video 2 goes over Shielding Hammer, and video 3 goes over checking and intercepting their punches. 

Here are the links;

Self-defense Tips

Good tips that we all probably need to think about more and be sure to incorporate into our training.

The Essence of Kenpo

Credit to Miller's Kenpo Karate Dojo on Facebook for putting out some cool kenpo images lately. Things have changed a lot over the past several years, here is a link to my "Essence of Kenpo" image (kenpo notes link) done in 2018 compared to their newer and updated version.
