parkerlineage Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 Not that anybody other than like 3 people out there care, but yesterday, I was struck by the realization that Detour from Doom is Five Swords!Five Swords - Block, strike (chop), palm, punch, step up the circle (chop insert,) downward chop. (Very vague, I know, but if you know what I'm talking about, I don't need to explain it).Detour from Doom - Block/(punch), strike (kick), push (which is a palm), punch, step up the circle (chop insert), downward hammerfirst, which could be easily turned into a chop.Just to get a little Kenponess back into this forum.

Jiffy Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 I'm guessing your talking about a movement in Doom the game?Sorry, I'm not very good with 1st person shooter games. The mind is like a parachute, it only works when it's open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushido_man96 Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 Ahh, need a little more clarification here to make a response, please. Are those names of small forms or something like that? https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cathal Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 A friend of mine did Kenpo for a while and he showed me a few things. But as I recall his escape was different than the one you described. .The best victory is when the opponent surrendersof its own accord before there are any actualhostilities...It is best to win without fighting.- Sun-tzu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parkerlineage Posted July 5, 2006 Author Share Posted July 5, 2006 I'm guessing your talking about a movement in Doom the game?hahahaha... I'm not sure if you're joking or not, but no, it's not from some game.Ahh, need a little more clarification here to make a response, please. Are those names of small forms or something like that?I suppose that would be an adequate description of them, yes. A bit like bunkai, from what I've heard...most of Kenpo is about learning pre-arranged counters for prescribed attacks, and then eventually learning to combine them, delve deeper into them (like I'm doing here), and so forth.Sorry for the confusion - this is really an AK specific statement, and I was mostly just trying to see if there was still anybody out there doing AK. So far, looks like, no.A friend of mine did Kenpo for a while and he showed me a few things. But as I recall his escape was different than the one you described.Escape? Care to describe a bit more?

cathal Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 Escape? Care to describe a bit more?Ha ha, sorry didn't mean "escape" I meant to say detour. Instead of push they did a roundhouse punch. .The best victory is when the opponent surrendersof its own accord before there are any actualhostilities...It is best to win without fighting.- Sun-tzu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parkerlineage Posted July 6, 2006 Author Share Posted July 6, 2006 Interesting...to where do they strike with that? I always understood that the "detour" was the sliding up to a cat stance in the first move, anyway, but I'm still interested.

cathal Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 Well as I recall (and take that with a grain of salt because it's been a long time) that right before they step up the circle, the roundhouse and punch are taught as separate techniques but tend to look like a neon-zuki or mountain punch if done very fast. It's been equally long since I've seen it as well. : / .The best victory is when the opponent surrendersof its own accord before there are any actualhostilities...It is best to win without fighting.- Sun-tzu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
