Will The "Real" Kenpo Please Step Forward By MJS - 06-03-2008 05:22 PM

=========

Many people trained with Mr. Parker. Some may have trained directly with him longer than others have. You have many people who teach their version of Kenpo. You also have many people running around speaking ill of those that do their Kenpo different than the next guy. So as an example. You could have a student of one teacher running around saying that unless you trained with instructor A, you don't have Kenpo the way it should be taught. People will post video clips of someone doing a kata or technique and pretty much bash the hell out of it, because its 'different' from what they do.

So, in your opinion, is there a 'real' Kenpo? Is there one method or teacher that is teaching the 'real deal' while everyone else is handing out a watered down version?

Usually I like to say that there are many different branches of the Kenpo tree, so just because something may look a little different, doesnt necessarily mean that its wrong.

Anyone else have thoughts on this?
