Shorinji Kenpo from Japan
I understand that there are two schools of Kenpo, the er ..american version and the true monastic japanese version.
To which are you slating
The japanese monks were of some competance from my understanding - but are in no way linked to the ..er ..american version ??
I hear some wantbe Kung Fu people have no respect!
Jutsow,
It is good to have freedom of opinion. But with maturity let's hope you learn that a MA style should not be judged by a few shallow practitioners of a style.
Anyone on this Forum has seen bad or weak MA people, but you can't honestly condemn an entire style. Grow up.
You Have The Power,

Poor you...the pain your eyes have seen...the pain...your stomach felt, keeping from laughing your guts out.
Disturbingly more is when some of his students move on to become "Master Sifu Sensei..." and create more of the "art".
Sorry to say that CMA is losing it's tradition and strength. As this and future generations come along, the less they can bring to the table, mainly because the true essence of CMA will be lost. CMA cannot be whole without the essence/philosophy, forms will not do it. Today, practioners do not have the time to study under someone as they did in generations past. I, too am a culprit to this. Only a few will possess this knowledge and our only hope is not to practice the physical part, but to take time and talk to our teachers. Bruce Lee knew of this and began to evolve the art from his philosophy and understanding of martial arts, not just WC, Crane, etc... , he did this like a true artist, whether its martial, sculpting, drawing, painting, etc.....
Peace
I AGREE WITH TENTIGERS AND THOSE WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED TRADITIONAL KENPO!
Please don't judge Kenpo by recent wantabes. Since Parkers death there has been alot of BS out there.
Traditional Kenpo is excellent. If in doubt come work out with me in Minnesota. You will see what the System is about... The system has roots in Shaolin but is more japanese in flavor.

What's wrong with gold lame?
There is only one Kempo and it's Shoalin Karate Kempo and only one master and that's Grandmaster Freddie Vallari.
Please line up to the left in single file so I may dispatch all you unbelievers.
Thank you
:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :eek: **** I hurt myself again doing that.
Do ya REALLY think CMA hates Kempo so readily because of...
JEALOUSY?
LACK OF MA EXPERIENCE???
MA? Sure whatever...
Kung Fu? Nope, never anything but a parasitic relationship with CMA.
Sincerest apologees if I gave any disrespect to a legitmate player
If there was a Jutchnik associated school in my town...(since I didn't open one) I would be there. I would also be were I am now. The only Jutchnik authorized teacher to show up partnered up with a commercial karate school and teaches at a mc dojo. Last I had heard.
I do not think ALL kenpo/kempo sucks at all, just ALOT of it when its commercial.
If the school I study in now was as commercial I would leave and maybe move to another state to find a good school with all the areas of study I now believe are important.
I would not have spent so much time to pursue real education unless I had been given such a good meter stick to measure by with having worked with Hanshi Bruce Jutchnik. It had a deep impact on many decisions I have made and is definitely in line with a real study including language and culture.
I think the whole "I hate that art" rants are fairly jeuvenile, and I participated in it and believe that I may have been misunderstood.
I do not disrespect Ken/mpo, I have a personal dislike for certain practitioners that I have had contact with. They certainly do not reflect well upon their system with their behavior.
Hey, listen to a pig. Some arts are good and some are not so good. Mostly through the faults of human beings practicing them, not the art.
Just a few more pennies from a pig..

Thanks "sow" boy for bringing out support for MA people...
Pickles are usually considered condiments for people consumption. You have been chewed so "sowy"
