    Have you guys ever heard this song? Great!! It's by Red Cloud, an underground group. Search for "Red Cloud" or "When kenpo strikes" on Kazza. I also think there's a music video full of fancy martial arts moves. It's all about kenpo and other MA's.

    I just tried this on Kazaa. If you enter "When kenpo strikes" you must restrict the search to audio files only or it will not be found. Wonder why?

    Gravitational Marriage...

    My instructor Mr. Parker defined gravitational marriage as the uniting of mind, breath and strength while simultaneously dropping your bodt weight along with the execution of your natural weapon(s). Timing all these factors with the dropping of your body weight greatly adds to the force of your strikes. This combined action literally causes a marriage with gravity and makes vertcal use of BODY MOMENTUM while employing the dimension of height.
    How does your art relate to this principle of martial arts?

    Re: Gravitational Marriage...

    Pretty much the same. But, on top of striking, we also use this principle a lot for unbalancing and also in the application of joint locks. We call it "elevator down" or "seating" in Sikal and "marriage of gravity" in Shen Chuan (which has roots in Kenpo so it's not too surprising that the term is similar).

    We definitely do it. We are taught to drop our body weight, use the hips( its all in the hips baby) and strike simultaneously. However that is only one way (more common though) to generate power.

    Master Tatum made a series of videos entitled "When Kenpo Strikes".

    Does this mean you train with EP Junior? Or do you mean that your former instructor was Ed Parker?
