American Kenpo is a great system for teaching a person how to self defend. The system is designed to train people with a large variety of things they can do to protect themselves. We dont just stand there and let people beat us up. We are taught to how to react to defend ourselves. Lessons are taught within the techniques we learn. But the techniques were never intended to be used in a fight. To understand this one can simply go online to YouTube; type in Knife stabbings; and look at the videos. Look at the the videos that security camera footage of attacks. Youll need a strong stomach for some of the scenes. Now compare those knife attacks to what we do in Kenpo. Even if youre just a beginner you should see just how fast those attack are born and executed... When people fight they fight fast; damage is done quickly; the fight ends quickly. With criminals quietly driving away leaving the victim laying on the ground. It is not difficult to understand that punches and kicks happen just as fast. One should never think they will do kenpo techniques... We arent quick enough to do that. All we can do is what the victims in the videos did: try to fight back using every skill we have learned. Skils that are developed as we execute our kenpo techniques and forms. Practice is what will make these individual skills become second nature to us. The basics learned in Kenpo are far and away more important then the techniques or Forms. Remember too: basics are taught as stand alone skills even in the Forms. Youll do well to learn to see them.
