Prioritizing Qualities is what makes kenpo unique to each individual practitioner. If kenpoist A is tall, lean, and long in the limb, his reach is going to be an advantage for him. He will by necessity or by choice use his advantage to punish an opponent. Same goes for short, fast guys, or flexible, etc... you get the point. THese individual traits are already there, working them in training to hone them is important, but to stress training on those areas that do not come natural to each person is more important. I am large, heavy, and strong. I have no problem with generating power. It is a natural occurance to me, but, speed is my light suit. SO, I focus on speed when training. I do specific drills to help my speed, I have a double end bag, a speed bag, and a sled I pull when I run sprints. All of these things have helped my speed, all the while, maintaining my strength and power. Also, and this next thing is for everyone, breathing properly through the execution of a technique is SOOOOO important. I missed out on that my first year or so, and when I learned how to breath properly through a technique, it helped with my total execution so much I cant stress it enough.
