Jim Brassard, similar to Professor Kimo’s Parting Wings

Jim Brassard put this on Youtube, and I like this technique:

I probably like it so much because I agree with his analysis of the situation.

It’s pretty similar to what I do for parting wings (the first part of the video):

Torrance USSD Youtube Channel

For those of you who are looking for videos of Kempos, the Torrance USSD has put their ‘alphabet’ of 26 kempos on their Youtube! channel. Perhaps we’ll identify some and link them to existing writeups, or perhaps they will get their own page.

I thought Combination 35 was already up.

Jim Brassard also put combination 35 on Youtube, and I was sure I already had put it up. Add it to the ‘we have video’ collection. Also, while double checking, I realized that 74 is up from him as well in an old post.

White Tiger (from New York) Combinations

matt — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 21:45:59 +0000

There are several ‘White Tiger’ kempo organizations, but this one appears to be from the one headed by Richard Fescina. It’s a quick video of Clark George, black belt running through some ‘under black’ combinations in the air.

Jim Brassard, Combination 3

matt — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 22:30:43 +0000

Another one that I thought I had already posted about, but apparently didn’t: Jim Brassard teaches combination three. This is one of the fundamental techniques of Shaolin Kempo, and I’ve seen many interpretations of it. Here’s his:

Combinations 1-20 on Video

More Youtube finds, this time of two young black belts on a mat in a parking lot doing a quick run through of combinations 1-20. Please keep in mind that these are two young folks doing a quick run through.

Coiling Snake

We just saw the Villari version of the snake form, and this kemop seems to fit within that understanding of snake movement. This is called ‘Coiling Snake’ and it is again brought to us by Mark Golden.

Thundering Hammers

Another signature technique of early kempo and especially of Ed Parker’s American Kenpo is Thundering Hammers. The EPAK version is here:

Mark Golden demonstrates the Shaolin Kempo version with a little bit of that Combination #15 love at the end.

Master LeCours: Combinations 1-37, Plus Forms

matt — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 21:37:55 +0000

Master Kenneth LeCours of the Villari System has put combinations 1-37, 6 Kata, Honsuki, Sho Ton Kwok, Nenglis North and South, and Swift Tigers on line in one video. Thanks for adding to the online knowledge.

Combination 5 from Jim Brassard

matt — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 21:18:33 +0000

I thought I had already posted this one, but didn’t find it while I was making a list of what combinations there are videos for. Here’s Jim Brassard offering a tip on Combination 5. As always, feel free to discuss.
