Ladies if you quit rubbing your thighs together that feeling will go away.

But Rob, honestly i just want to be able to slow it down to watch the form! And i've been practicing a lot of back-kicks today - aren't you supposed to rub your thighs together when you back-kick? Huh????

Just saved it for, uh, future reference -- ?! Asked my older son to help me do it - and all he wanted to know was why I was saving such 'dumb' music. Guess I won't have to share the file with anyone *smiles slyly*.

Seriously, thanks guys. KT

That movie is what motivated me to find a Kenpo school.

If you download XP Powertoy you can save it as a Screensaver from your videos. I've got a classic vintage Kenpo tape from 76 that I use as mine and it runs continuously until you hit the mouse or key after it starts.

A very young Frank Trejo and a few others, you probably wouldn't recognize their names and I can't remember most of them LOL.

Back in the day - Eh? Mr. Trejo, wow, i've seen some photos of him way back when and - well - he's just awesome! I can't even imagine what it must have been like in those days to train in kenpo. Have a great evening DKL!

My ex (Former Kenpoist, introduced me to the lifestyle) told me that Mr. Speakman did many more techs with the sticks on the couch, but it ended up cut with a lop of..five..swords ifn' I remember right. She claimes he almost walked out due to it. I've memorized the dialouge to this movie. I love this movie. I blame this movie! HEHE

I hope Mr. Conaster gets a chance to respond to this thread and maybe add some insight into what the thoughts were on the choreography of the form and also what was "left behind" in the actual film.
Thanks again, Good Journey, Kenpo Mama (Donna) :asian:

Thanks for asking..... The "form" in The Perfect Weapon as already been stated is not really a form at all but rather what Mr. Parker called "babbling with motion" as Mr. Billings stated it was more or less a combination of several forms or techniques woven together into what ... I guess you could call a "form" loosely. I never thought of it as a form..... but I guess you could do it for fun. All of our traditional curriculum has much thought in it and done for a reason... but this "exercise" that appeared in the movie was a result of learning many of those and creating a sequence for fun..... err a movie. LOL....... this can be/is done today many times for tournaments and pleasure by many.

As to "behind the scenes" info on the film or cuts that didn't make the production... I have none.... I was not on set. sorry.....

Thank you Mr. Conaster for responding and sharing your thoughts on this ...errr - form. I like Mr. Parker's reference to "babbling with motion". I guess loosely i have formulated my own thoughts on this fun exercise, "The Perfect Weapon" showing the defenses against gun, knife & club attacks, and adding some other kenpo classic techs to show that the individual performer in essence becomes the Perfect Weapon using the empty handed techs.

Well that's just my opinion of the motion depicted... and it really is cool to watch. Thank you again,

Respectfully,

Kenpo Mama (Donna) :asian:
