It can be done without losing control.I guess it is just a matter of opinion, I find most kenpo demos to be overly choreographed and overtly technical, it looks like, well, a demo not a fight. The whole stone statue thing is annoying as um, heck.

Again, control wasn't lost, hitting someone is not losing control, hitting someone and hurting them is. It doesn't hurt (no pun intended) to have students that are trained to take hits and know how to absorb shots.It can be done without losing control.

No, this is bad. It teaches them unrealistic lessons about what it actually feels like should they ever use this stuff. Wait a minute...
Dave never lost control. He could have hurt me at any time. What he did do is pop me hard enough and manipulate me to go where he wanted me to go. There was momentary discomfort but nothing serious. Dave is not Huk Planas but it felt a lot like Huk doing a technique on me. Momentary discomfort but I'm not injured. That fits my definition of control.It can be done without losing control.

Correct, they were looking for Dance Class and I don't come from a Dance school. It was no problem, we laughed about it and had a good time.If you are refering to Kenpodoc's post, as I was, the judges weren't fooled by that little secret.

Yeah! lets all do "no touch" Kenpo and then go on the street thinking we can hit someone. Then when we show our art let's NOT hit to show control. Better idea. Let's actually hit each other and not hurt each other. It takes more skill to make contact with no damage than to make no contact at all. Any spaz can miss.
Does anyone out there do spontaneous tech lines, we do them in bb class. Sometimes in Brown Belt class. We also strike a lot harder in BB class so you can get a better feel for it. In Sparring advanced classes we agree to more contact to makeit a little more realistic.
SPAZ!@? You mean it isn't a good idea to practice clawing randomly in the air and punching at invisible targets without any concern whatsoever for proper mechanics while doing so?
Well I'll be a monkey's bare arsed uncle. Well, what say you brother - shall we jump on the band wagon or fire arrows at the wagon convoy? Me - I'm thinking arrows might be slightly more fun.
I don't know if the arrows will work. We'd have to make pretty BIG CIRCLES around the wagons to use them
Sounds like heap big trouble.I don't know if the arrows will work. We'd have to make pretty BIG CIRCLES around the wagons to use them

He did show control, his dummy is still there and not bleeding.
When we do demos we get people who say "it looks like you are really hitting the other guy." The secret is, we are.
