Using Kenpo In Real Life - Mark Arnott

- I talked to Mark Arnott in 2014. He was a little shy about the footage, but after looking at it all these years later, I decided that there's a lot of wisdom in these clips that I want to show you guys. Arnott runs Arnott Kenpo, probably the best Kenpo place that I've visited in my travels. For those of you who like hybrid traditional martial arts, Arnott Kenpo in Eagle Rock is a place to check out. If you pay close attention, this footage was actually grabbed in South Pasadena back when they were based there. Hope you enjoy this little reflection on whether Kenpo techniques can be used in real life or not.

mark used knee in the groin?
Really sound advice. Unfortunately I spent a small amount of time incarcerated. I did 99 days for a nonviolent crime. I was pretty much the smallest guy in the block. One guy tried to punk me and I quickly deflected his hand, shoved them into the corner of a bunk and got into a fighting stance.
This was enough to deter him and gain his respect for my remaining time there. After that nobody in the block even thought about messing with me. There were plenty of guys in there that could probably have beat me but I was easy to get along with and after you demonstrating that you wont go down easy, people usually leave you alone. But there's always that stray that is fearless and trained. Those guys will smash your head into the dirt unless you are prepared and trained.
@vegeta420z lol. Btw, Vegeta is #1! Long time DB fan!!
@@truthpreppin7630 @ least ya keep a sense o' humor 'bout the whole ordeal. much respect here,jackson.
That stuff he showed wouldn't work on xu xiaodong.
Hahahahah
I have seen many videos where Xu Xiao Dong Get his butt kicked by average kick boxers in the gym the only people he beats up are over the hill overweight self bloviated falsified kung fu masters
@@adandyguyinspace5783 the vast majority of people train in useless martial arts and delude themselves, like kenpo
I bet it would work on him. He only targets fake masters. This kenpo guy is not fake.
Cool story. 😁 🤙
(and I mean that in a non-ironic way!)
I feel like Karate gets a bad reputation, because of how many McDojos there are for it. Karate does work. Lyoto Machida and Stephen Thompson prove that.
Hello fellow Vaush viewer
@Will iam He uses like 20% defensive wrestling and about 80% Shotokan karate. What are you talking about? Check out Machida's record. What did he win most of his fights with?
@Will iam they are literally using Karate except for when they're grappling or wrestling
@vegeta420z You're wrong. Competent karate fighters are some of the most difficult to deal with. I think the issue is more athletic people don't train karate in the US. They do wrestling or boxing instead.
@vegeta420z that's his point he said most karate is mcdojo
Which technique is that exactly? The practice demonstration from the two karate men is not very clear and looks almost like Wing Chun by that guy in black gi.
Kenpo is closer to Kung Fu than other Karate styles.
American Kenpo is a child Of a mixture of Martial Arts including Chinese. Thus, the circular motions that resemble Wing -Chun
Wow that’s impressive. Thank God he made it home 🏠 safely.
Thank himself. God had nothing to do with it😂😂
American kenpo is headquartered in Pasadena. Ed Parker was there, then Jeff speakman took over. Then he broke from the organization and started kenpo 2.0 I believe. The other American kenpo in the area are related
Terry loved cali 5.0*
@@jedijudoka that's right
Speakman didn't take over. Ed Parker never named a successor so the organization ended up splitting apart because so many of the senior black belts had their own thoughts as to how to move forward. Some wanted to evolve with the time like Jeff Speakman, Paul Mills, and a few others. While others wanted to keep the art the way it was last developed by Mr. Parker in the late 80s. So what you have is many different organizations that have attempted to evolve and are doing different things, and many that are still doing the same things that they were since the 80s. Ed Parker himself said he didn't want his art traditionalized, and had changed the curriculum he taught about 4 times. That's why Speakman calls his system 5.0
@@anthonymalgiero4215 that sounds good .makes sense. Did you ever hear about how cut throat and backstabber he was (Jimmy woo) .makes sense how disorganized the system was
@UCozrLI_7B18CXC11tD-x6Sg I've heard about the Jimmy Woo situation, and I've heard about it from both sides. I kind of chalk it up to people that for whatever reason, stop getting along. I've seen it happen with people who train together numerous times. It's usually somewhere in the middle. In this case Jimmy Woo probably didn't contribute as much as his side claims, and at the same time Parker probably didn't recognize what contributions Woo made to begin with. Instead of meeting in the middle they just stopped training together, and stopped being friends.
The true martial artist wins by avoiding conflict whenever possible. The best technique is the one that prevents conflict in the first place.
Cool , so you're saying you dropped into a self defense move and applied it ,then he put up his hands and backed away.
He recreated the technique in his mind and the guy read it through the handshake
@@hansihobr well, obviously it's less than lethal . Maybe he screamed"NO!"at the top of his lungs and startled him , causing him to,"back way"
Aikido also teaches a similar technique called sankyo. Very useful. We don't just start attacking, though.
That’s why his technique works and yours doesn’t
Ok this sounds legit and makes me want to learn some kenpo, I feel like in that context hand lock moves could work. But still if bjj was easy they would call it KJJ (Kenpo)
If I'm not mistaken (please do correct me if I'm wrong because I don't do or really follow Kenpo) there are no tournaments in Kenpo. I think they just do Sparing to practice but it's more a self defense. So this technique (if it actually did play out like this) might have work because the guy was caught off guard by 2 things. 1 that this guy was smaller than him but actually fought back. and 2 that he didn't think this guy would know and react so fast to the technique. In a real fight he might lose. Or he might win. We never know. But because the guy was caught off guard it work.
There is sparring in Kenpo. Aside from participating in open Karate tournaments (point and continuous light contact), Kenpo 5.0 has a sparring system that includes Low Kicks, grappling and ground fighting very similar to MMA with gear, and Kenpo in Europe has Championships that include all manner of categories like point, Semicontact, Full contact and Grappling competition.
@@Avenging_Archer yeah see there are so many different styles of Kenpo now. Not bashing it, I think it is a good style. But I've just learned to take these stories with a grain of salt. Thanks for educating me anyway.
@@Rve783 Yeah I recently learned there's more than I ever thought. I can honestly only talk for American Kenpo Karate.
Uh... Ed Parker invented most of what the tournament scene was in America.
I would like to see With due respect to His Rank Kenpo Larry Kongaika spar with an opponent who will be in resisting and countering techniques .In that way we will be more awed and believe that how good Kenpo is...Not a frozen opponent please..
It’s nice when you het to use this in real life. It works
@@bryansandiego the best thing I heard all day
0:26 I'm wowed, Mark and Jane they used to be my neighbors back in the early 90s.
I'm glad to see them again.
That’s awesome!
You weren't the jacked guy in the story, were you? 😂
@@raksh9 I have alot respect for Mark and Jane...so try to show some respect.
@@The_Realm_is_RealSo it WAS you 😆
@@raksh9 I'm not in those videos...I came across it...they were my neighbors back in the day...I had not seen them since.
You are such an arrogant prick.
For all the MMA/BJJ doubters out there here is a simple solution. Go to an American Kenpo school and ask for a spar under their rules in their school since this is a bunch of bullshit. O and don't forget to record it if the school allows it.
I never seem to see a lot of free sparring with American Kenpo, there's a lot of stuff however where the attacker punches stops and stands still while the defender chains together attacks.
Maybe if the person attacking threw a more realistic punch and moved after throwing it then it'd have more value.
I train ITF Taekwondo and in the curriculum they do something pretty similar although we only do the minimum for the curriculum because it's a bit of a waste of time when you could spar or do bag work instead.
I train 10th planet Jiu-Jitsu as well and there's several much smaller guys who aren't as strong as me and they mess me up because the techniques are effective.
As a rule a kick is a kick and so on but it's the pressure testing is the key factor.
I still use some of what I learned from Kenpo in sparring where I currently do BJJ Shootboxing/MMA and IDS classes but I am also learning how to see the good of any art and if I can figure out how to apply a technique I will
Under their rules do you mean standing still while flail around? Been to a Kenpo school and no just no. 3 types of fighting styles: Grappling, Wrestling, or Striking. At the end of the day these "flashy" poorly performed techniques devolve into 1 or all of those 3 and Kenpo practitioners have no idea how to deal with an opponent who won't stand still for them.
My grandfather was 3rd degree black, and used kenpo many times outside a bar, and in real life, I think american kenpo is effective
Classy from jeremy, praises a useless martial arts but if this was Chinese martial arts, he will be mocking this shit.
My Judo sensei works at a prison, he loves coming in and telling us what he had to do to uncooperative inmates. I also ask out of curiosity Jerry, do you have an interest in Kenpo?
I just appreciate kenpo. Not that interested in kenpo outside of filming it’s beauty. Want to learn boxing the most.
Fight Commentary Breakdowns Good deal
@@FightCommentary I know boxing is good until you fight someone who knows how to exploit it's weaknesses. I recommend learning defense against leg kicks and takedowns to counter that whenever you can
@@zachariaravenheart then you Don't know boxing
@@joeaverage8564 lol.. Are you a gamer
If he walked away it mustn't been great technique.
It clearly was because it knocked him around enough that he realized he couldn’t win.
I like cake
isnt kempo like systema?
It's kinda like a mix of Kung Fu's unique hands and circular body manipulation, and Karate's stony solidity.
Not at all . It's closer to Kung Fu, in fact they say it is Kung Fu from monks
@@gretashapiro4118 No its not.
Nah......
Whatever
It's effective, bruh u have no experience fighting 😅
No you didn't.
Lol😅
"This Kid"
I DON'T REALLY TRUST KENPO, NICE FORMS THOUGH.
Kenpo is trailer park Kung fu
