Why is Kenpo seen so negatively?

Why is Kenpo criticised so heavily in the modern martial arts world?
They say everybody has a book in them, I've probably got about 70 given that I can't stop talking, but I find the medium of audio and video far easier to express and produce meaningful thoughts and discussions. In this me talking to whoever wants to listen I share some of my honest thoughts on why Kenpo gets so much negativity online — and why that criticism only tells part of the story.

In this episode, we break down:
• How the internet changes how people judge martial arts
• Why Kenpo demos often look unrealistic out of context
• The quality-control problem across different lineages
• What modern audiences expect from training
• Why Kenpo seems outdated compared to MMA, BJJ, and FMA
• And what people miss when they only look at surface choreography

If you want clear, modern, drama-free martial arts discussion, this podcast is for you.
