Kenpo Variations, Changing and Mixing it up. By Bob Hubbard - 05-19-2010 11:10 AM

=========

Had a chat with someone recently and part of the conversation turned to kenpo. We were discussing the idea of taking an existing form, or technique or kata, and twisting it up and ripping it apart. For the sake of argument I'll use EPAK Short 1 and Delayed Sword as examples, but any tech will do.

Have you tried running the tech with not only an open hand, and closed hand, but with a knife, a stick and a sword in hand? Single and double. How about in reverse? Both sides favored? (ie first with a right lead, next with a left lead)

I'm curious on what everyone's thoughts are on this.

sounds like a neat idea too me I have tried changing things around myself with my samurai swords in both hands and I would have to say that changing it around can be a great learning experience for weapon mastery I mean most martial arts can only take you so far until you start wanting more and this is a prime example of getting more out of your training.
