Do you know your Kenpo lineage?

[dubljay]

Very shortly after starting Kenpo karate I began research into the origins and soon I started recognizing names my instructor had said he studied under; La Bounty and Huk most notably.

How many of you pay attention to your Kenpo lineage and whether that knowledge is important to you.

I do/have.

Of course it's important.

Pedigree is always important to knowledge gain. In addition however, it is not only your direct lineage that is important but also those that you choose to investigate or search out that have much wisdom "outside" your specific lineage. I always enjoy probing/studying/picking their brain ... with any knowledgeable Kenpoist.

Dual Lineage:
I am sooooo confused. All I know is I got a great foundation in the Iron Worker school vis a vis Sigung Labounty, Gary Swan, Brian Duffy ... then entered the Watchmaker phase. But boy it took a long time for me to transition, and there is still something to be said for focusing on the Ironworker school of "punch their heart out", I just don't remember if applied to the opponent, or the number of reps we had to do...

I don't know if I've entered the watchmaker phase yet, but I know how you feel, Sir. :wink:

My teacher is Vinnny Anfuso, his teacher is Mr. Pick, and of course Mr. Picks teacher was Mr. Parker.

 

[distalero]

A long time ago, in a galaxy far away: Ed Parker, Steve Fox, me (with help from temple brothers, life's expriences, and a Shotokan group I snuck off to, to get the crap kicked out of me via sparring, sparring, sparring).

 

[justme]

I trained under Kevin Day and Steve Burnett. Steve was one of Kevin's students but i have no idea who Kevins teacher was.

Hello, Do you know your Kempo lineage? We are a fairly new system and there are documented history of our Professor and his schools and his history of his instrutors as well. Our Professor came from the kajukenpo system before leaving and starting his own, known today as Universal Kempo-Karate Schools Association. All the people testing for their Black belts has to do it in front of the Professor and his chief instrutors, pasting is an Honor. Our first black belt is call "Student black belt" than one year later or more,you can test for the First Degree black belt.

Gerald Mitchell,
Jim Mitchell,

Hello Mr. Lear. "Philosophical nuggets of Joy"??? What do think we do? run through the fields quoting some dead poet? Naw, we kick the YANG out of 'em too, that's what we do. If you can't put your fist through their tissue, be in theory, in reality, spiritually, if you haven't done that core work on yourself, if you haven't gone to force on force, if you haven't seen their eyes bug out from fear and pain...well you get the idea....not much else will work for you then.
I perceive you to be one of those 'Iron Worker' students given the men you've trained with, I'm right aren't I???
Here's hoping you and yours have a wonderful holiday season, and I truly mean that..
