JF,
I might have been able to say I agree with you, if you had let go of my throat long enough for me to breath and speak
. It must be your presentation and delivery. Seriously, I am enjoying and learning that Many of the concepts in one martial art transcend into the others.
Good Discussion!
Yikes!!!!!
No, she wasn't that BIG!!:rofl:
I tried to make a rule of thumb in life not to date any females that had more muscle than me.

No problem sir. I can out point-fight most of the guys at our studio you know.
My observation is that if we have a lot of "grappling" built into EPAK, then why aren't there any grappling techniques.
We could use a good 6-8 techniques, but we don't have one. But we have 10 Master Key stand-up techniques and 144 variations. It just strikes me as odd that is all.
I picked up grappling pretty well from my buddy. Sometimes it sounds like a stretch when you tell us "It's in there!" like an old Ragu commercial.
:rofl:
I am just wondering why the "curriculum" is set up like it is if there is more "grappling" than appears at first blush. I wonder if the Kajukenbo guys have more grappling techniques than us EPAK guys do.
I think we could use more grappling, more entering strategies, maybe some more/better freestyle techniques, some chi/energy training, and I like the Lockflow stuff that Mr. Hartsell does from what I've seen. I think that falls under grappling and, yes, I know he had an Black Belt under Mr. Parker (like Mr. Inosanto) and that he lost a match to Bob Wall at the 1968 IKC (Memories of Ed Parker pg 75
).I was just noticing there seems to be a lot of stuff "implicit" in our curriculum which seems odd since we have so much stuff that is "explicit." I'd like to see more base techniques and less variations I guess.
But everytime I work out with someone from another style I see how well Kenpo works and helps me adapt to situations. I'm not complaining per se. Kenpo is good stuff and there is a lot of material "buried" in the system.
I gotta go change my asbestos undies now.
So would I!!!!!! The thing here is that it takes a period of time to adjust to the grappling ranges. Hand positioning is very important and can mean the distinctive degree of "possible" losses. Body posture is an absolute must when grappling.There are certain aspects that you just can't do on your own without proper guidance of a qualified instructor. :asian:

Do I smell smoke? Doug are you over there thinking out a Kenpo issue without any of those corny comparisons? You actually made a statement about the system without apology on what you think it needs with quoting what Mr. so and so said...I'm impressed. Keep on thinking....now I need to go beat up on something you said in another post...:rofl:
Your bro, jb:asian:
He's not that bad.
Of course you are a little closer than me to him did you really smell his hair burning????:rofl: :rofl:

Gee Doug, why don't you give him an open invitation?:rofl:
I agree here. However she apparently gets to spend more time in the weight room than I do.
I kind of figured that.

Hey, I'm living up to this Noisy Cricket nickname aren't I?
Only because Austin is shut down today because of snow.
The high was 30 degrees today. The normal Low for today is 46.
There is ice everywhere. There is a good half inch all over my car. I have pictures somewhere.

He already has an open invitation. We are trying to get 4 of us from 4 different cities to show up to my class some Saturday. I know he can beat me without hurting me.
I'll be up this Sunday if the weather breaks. I'll give you a call after Mr. Duffy and I finished up...Otherwise I'll probably just stick around for 30mins or an hour and work with Darren if he's up for it..
