He looks big enough, and fast enough to increase a fella's pain level expedentially.

He lacks any power due to the lack of stances and shifting. That's my .02![]()

Possibly, but why show a technique done incorrectly with no stances? The Leap of Death would never work with out the stance change. Would you post something on the net that was sloppy or not executed correctly? I know I wouldn't, and from reading your posts, I doubt you would either. Either way, good kenpoists are hard to find. As most know (or maybe not), the bad far outnumber the good. I see this as another kenpoist whose stances and body mechanics can't keep up with their hands. I'm not bashing the guy (he does have good hand technique), but we were asked for our thoughts. If he truely moves like that, it's not his fault. It's his instructor's.Sorry in advance if I offend anyone, but this is my opinion. Remember, opinions are like... well you know the rest.
I actually think he moves very well overall for his size. He has good continuity and fast hands. I don't think he was trying to hit hard, but could have had he let go.

Look past the stances, and you will see how he making these moves work. In Leap of Death, he is palm heeling the base of the head instead of the arm. Interesting....
If you want to be faster and more mobile then one has to tailor the given Kenpo stances to achieve the result that they are after. If the end result is pain and damage to the opponent, then is tailoring the stance a show stopper?
What ya think?

I do agree if you put it out there expect to have it critiquedI see your points.
Some argue that at higher levels the body mech. is not as important as you have developed a "short hand" way to use minimal changes in stances to achieve the same effect.
Anyone experience that level of Kenpo personally?

He's making the moves work against a willing attacker. What's so astonishing about heel palming the fella in the head before the throw?I agree that advanced students will not lock out their stances, but power is generated from the hips and he isn't moving them. Watch his clip on Youtube of Parting Wings and you'll see what I mean. He does the technique from a chair for goodness sake.
You want to see speed and power, check out the Speed Clip on the AKKI's video page.

That is thinking absolutes and assuming that the chair is unstable or nowhere near an obstacle to stop it from falling over. I have seen many a fight a start with one person sitting and another person attacking and you may be surprised at how many times the chair does not tip over because of the environment it is in.

I have a simply way of looking at video clips, 1. they don't ever tell the whole story of the motions we see. 2. Don't criticize unless you have posted your own clips somewhere for people to see.
I almost forgot the most important one. 3. Take the opinions of anomious poster with an extra grain of salt. If they don't have teh testicular fortitude to post a little about themselves in their profile it makes me wonder what they are hiding.

Even if there was something to prop the chair up, do you actually believe your arm strength alone is strong enough to stop someone pushing you? Because that is what you would be relying on with out the shift. Your arm executing the heel palm vs their body weight? I know what I'd bet on winning.![]()
