You really don’t think real fighting looks pretty like in the movies, do? you?

Not really, but I was hoping to see some technique… if not,? what is the point of practicing all the kenpo/kaju techniques, forms and all that hand waiving?

Well, when both opponents are equally skilled, they will counter the techniques, and make it look less impressive.
You can do point fighting where the match is stopped after each “perfectly executed” technique, and a point is scored. But that wouldn’t be too realistic, would it.
So it comes down to why? your really learning martial arts. For sport, or self defense?

First of all, I congratulate you guys because at least you are not point sparring. On the other hand, I don’t buy the story about equally skilled opponents… If that was the case, every professional boxing, muay thai or kickboxing event would look like a big brawl with no technique, but this is certainly not the case.

If these guys had jeans and t-shirts, no one? would be able to say this is a kenpo match because the techniques are simply not there.

i dont think it’s a “kenpo match”. its just a continuous contact match. fighting and self defense are two different things. pretty hard to do self defense techniques on someone at a distance and ready and waiting for? you to hit them. yes not the same “technique” as boxers, mt, etc. but thats not generally what most in these systems train for, ya know? its more about overwelming the attacker before he knows what hit him.. we dont want to fight unless we have to, we want to go home.

I hear you… I think that anything you do to an? unsuspecting attacker will hurt them and, possibly end the fight. As they say in boxing, it is the unexpected punch that knocks you out. Given this premise, what is the point of training kenpo? Even soccer or American football would give you the tools to knock out an unsuspecting attacker.

In my experience with kenpo (5 years? of training) if you fail to hurt your opponent on your first strike, it would be nearly impossible to setup the rest of the sequence in a given technique. In other words, if you miss the first strike, the whole technique is worthless after that. At that point, you will be in a continuous fighting mode with a pissed off opponent. You better know your boxing, mt, ground fighting if you really want to go home!
