Sorry for asking, but what exactly is Kempo? I've been confused by it for many years. It claims to be a Chinese art? Then why is it pronounced in Japanese? And why is it in the _incorrect_...

Putting the weight on the balls of the feet can develop the leg strength/endurance necessary for prolonged...
For what it's worth, let me mention that in the video, he stands in his horse stance with the weight on the side of his feet.

No, it's called being a thug.
