The techniques by far and especially how they are structured into the system, IE--24 per belt, you can tell Mr. Parker put in a lot of thought into this. It is all very organized, and filtered, I like that.

Most difficult thing for me is to read on the history, where it originates from, once you get to Mitose it all goes gray.

When I was in my twenties, I really liked the techniques. I was out of Kenpo for a while (12 years) and then came back. Now, while I still enjoy the techniques ( the more contact the better), I have a greater respect for the forms. I guess being in my thirties and getting older changes your prespective a bit. It's funny, when I was younger I didn't like lots of contact. Now I do. Strange huh?

My favorite area of Kenpo used to be Salt Lake, now it's becoming the mid-west.

I put techniques. I like to put the basics in motion and see how they work.

I voted for basics, because forms, techniques, and fighting is really nothing than a series of basics put together in such a way to accomplish your immediate desire.

Without the ability to perform basic movements well, all is lost and Kenpo becomes that which it is often accused of being - a slap art.

When Grandmaster Parker told his storys-it always led up to(How to defend)I remember the art of fight with out fight.He told the story of the challange will Abe Lincon & to end a fight with logic was (to me) the best way for using a techniquice.

I voted for Self Defense Techniques because they open you up to all type of new fighting maneuvers that many other forms of martial arts do not employ.

Basics....Basics leads to everything else

Forms seem to calm me before I start the class. They tune your mind into what you about to do. They also are a good warm up to get the blood flowing.

 

[Hand Sword]

My favorite areas was always watching the instructors move, and just letting loose, executing the material.

 

[kenpotroop]

I love the self defense techs but I all so love the free style sparring.

 

[IWishToLearn]

You know I gots to go with basics. Without the basics ya ain't got crap.

Of course basics lead to everything else, but that doesn't mean they got to be favorite.

Breathing is essential to live, but that doesn't make breathing my favorite activity in life!!

In Kenpo it's techniques and self defense improvisation.

In life...... let's not talk about that on this forum :whip1:

At this point in my journey, I would have to say that sparring and self-defense techniques are my two favorite aspects of my training. That stated, I also love the sets and forms, but I just really like tha "hands-on" training.

Self-Defense Techs and Sparring. I like talking about the concepts too. It's nice to understand how everything works together.

 

[Raining Lance]
