Kenpo Weapons Techniques

[Headhunter]

I studied Tracy andd Ed Parker (American Kenpo) and taught since 1973, Ed Parker's style. I now have a modified verison of American Kenpo because I wanted to advance.As you knnow, there are no more techniqus past 3rd black and I am a technique specialist. I am now a 10th degree in AKJ-American Kenpo, after creating and praticing new techs up to tenth. After third, all belt techs consist of 40 new techniques. I am writing a small book with self-defense techs and also joint locks and the "written" explanation of the new technqiues in 4th and 5th degree black. This is for the Kenpo black belts that wanted more techqnieus. Those of you that are so called 5th degree black, that is because you were taught the same techs as I but not as many in each belt. I go wilth 24 techs per belt which gives you 3rd degree. I hope to have pulobished all the degrees techs up to 10th degree someday soon. If you are Knepo and you have no more techs, advance yourself with these techs.
American Kenpo is a empty hand tech, but the techs adapts well with weapons.
I'm 5'2" slim and I've had many battles on the streets. They all ended with only one move, that is, one strike.

So you're a 10th degree in your own system? Also have to ask...why do you sign off each post as "sifu 10th degree black" no one here is really that bothered about what rank you are. In my opinion kenpo doesn't need more techniques....half of the established are bs anyway and just thrown in to pad the system with more techniques to keep people paying their fees to learn new stuff. By the time you've learned all the techniques you should have enough tools in your tool box to adapt things yourself.

I started learning Tracy Kenpo and then Ed Parker Kenpo in the 70's, getting black belts in both. Yes, American Kenpo is mainly a kick-*** empty hand art. Yet...all the empty hand techniques adapt well in using a knife or sticks. I created more double and single stick techniques, and karambit techniques, all from my knowledge of Kenpo. Kenpo did not teach ground techs, so created 52 ground that mainly just got you off the ground and back onto your feet. I then added more joint locks (sometimes you have to use a joint lock move to be in the best position to strike and kick.
Find a art that is effective for YOU and stick with it. I'm 5'2" slim and I've been attacked many times in my lilfe and it was over with just one move or strike or kick. One guy in a ocean fog covered town of Oceano, in a dirt alley, I was grabbed by right hand at my chest. My muscle memory took over and using a move from a technique called Snapping Twig, I broke his elbow. I practice my version of American Kenpo, but I've added much to it for my personal use and the teaching of all the adults I have taught. I'm 76 and I practice three times a week and teach adult black belts for higher rank. I created new techniques for beyond 3rd black because no new techniques existed. I now have, practice and teach all the way up to 10th degree black. After 3rd black, I teach 40 new techniques per upper belt ranks.
I'm writing a small book on self-defense techniques and joint locks and am adding the "written" explanation of new techniques from 4th & 5th degree black.. There are no complete pics for these degrees, but I am including pictures that show some aspect of the tech that students may not under stand.
Forever in AKJ-American Kenpo (my person explained version of American Kenpo)

40 techniques per belt?....I'm sorry but that's to much in my opinion it's far to much for someone to have to learn 40 techniques and that have to practice them to get competent plus practicing old material. Sounds like to me your going for quantity over quality.

I think he is trying sell his book, but it still doesn't need an 11 year old thread

Plus the fact his post had nothing to do with the original thread
