Hello, There are endless technques one can use....and flow it?
Is there any you feel that does not make sense or will work for you?
This is techniques use in a REAL STREET FIGHTS...NOT sparring classes.....is there some you question of it's effectiveness on the streets?
That was taught in class?
We practice one step , one attacker throws a punch and we counter with numerous techniques that flows (hit them 4-10 times)...but the attacter is just standing there? ...would this happen in real life?
or we take them down and hit them numerous times while they are lying there?... will this happen in real life?
Most of us would not stand there after one block to our punch and not move away (in or out)...and as for takedowns...most of us would try to escape and get back up...and NOT take the numerous hits or get ourselves trap in an armbar?
This is a part of our Kempo training.....doesn't make sense to me...but then again we could stun the attacker and get those mulitple techniques in? never saw anything in the MMA world of fighting? or any tournaments of any kind? that resembles this training? (maybe against UNtrain fighters)?
Have you got stuffs you have questions about in your training?
Aloha ( there will always be better ways of learning) to read, write, and ....)
PS: One day toilets will be waterless and so will our showers....toilet papers? ...maybe forever! pass the towel please..i mean paper!
From one student to another,
I do not know Kenpo. I have friends who study the art, but all are out of state and I do not see often enough. So I will not speak to specifics of an art I know little to nothing of. I will speak of generics that might help you.
To learn a technique with body isolation is good for beginners, and even advanced to give them a new technique. This allows the person to see the technique and understand in a very controlled environment the places where you have control or where the opening for you or the opponent are. Of course when learning a new tech it mostly about your body placement and or timing of the strikes. Later or on your own if look into what if's or when the person reacts how does the technique change. Or how does the persons reaction take you to a different technique.
As to direct street application, boxing works great, so does wrestling and so does just a trap and punch and so does sucker punch, and so does, etcetera, all at the right time against the right person. I have seen some who wrestle and no one else got involved. I have seen some wrestle and have the opponents friends all jump in.
But here is the point. If you have never seen something then you are pretty much gaurenteed that you will never be able to pull it off. If you have seen something, now comes the training of recognition at real time and executing the technique. Another but here. But, if the instructor just walks up to you and uses his/her timing and always beats you then how do you get a chance to learn. Yet if the instructor slows down and breaks down the technique then you can begin to grasp the idea or principals behind the technique and learn. Some systems require the individual to make the applications while others work you to a point via sparring and controller rules. It takes a lot of trust and a whole lot of cooperation from people to give resistance that is gradual som people can learn and feel when to react. When to counter and when to attack and when to move. As the resistance increases so does the speed in general. Speed and timing are not the same thing. Speed is just that speed. Timing is knowing when to go. So to learn timing at a slower speed allows a person more reaction time to see and react. And as the person increases the speed slowly the timing will also improve.
If you system/school does not give you the resistance but you really enjoy the instructor and the learning environment find someone you trust and can work with. Understand that that you will set up the technique almost movie like at first. You say ok you will start with this, and I will counter with this other tech. This way everyone knows what is going on and no surprises. Then as they move in the middle of your series of moves, you then have a prescribed technique to deal with new attack or counter in the area/window/quardrant. Go slow, and think about it. You will make mistakes. You will say can I have that again, and try something else. It is nto wrong to see that wow this does nto really work here as it leaves me too open but this other one keeps me in the fight and defended.

As to techniques how many would I need? I need one more than my opponent.
