parkerlineage Posted August 18, 2006 Author Posted August 18, 2006 As I understand it, they call it the long form because it's part of a longer form and contains many of the techniques that are learned in class... well at least that's what I remember.... So close. It's called Long Form because it's an extension of Short Form 3. More techniques, further in depth on previously established techniques, and on both sides. And yes, it's compiled of techniques learned in class, and then some grab escapes.It's amazing the differences between our two styles of Kenpo. Both (I am assuming yours is as well) of our systems being only once removed from Ed Parker, the separation between their evolutionary paths is stunning. I will have to get myself performing the IKCA Master Form on video (well, uploaded, anyway) for you to see and compare. Really? What kind of Kenpo do you do? Tracy? I've heard the phrase Master Form before, and wondered what it was.Though, I'm just a brrown belt, so you'd have to excuse the overall quality!NO EXCUSE!!

Akaratechick Posted August 18, 2006 Posted August 18, 2006 I watched it earlier today, the first thing that came to mind was how fluid it was. not choppy or or stiff, I'm of course not familiar with the form but it was impressive. "All your life you are told the things you cannot do. They will say you're not good enough, strong enough or talented enough; you're the wrong height or the wrong weight or the wrong type to play this or achieve this. THEY WILL TELL YOU NO, a thousand times no, until all the no's become meaningless. ………..…. “AND YOU WILL TELL THEM YES."Nike Ad.
parkerlineage Posted August 18, 2006 Author Posted August 18, 2006 Thank you - that's how it's supposed to be. This kata has been very good to me - I have several pretty trophies I won with it, and I actually got a compliment on my form in my black belt test. Me like kata.

Eric_ Posted August 18, 2006 Posted August 18, 2006 IKCA (https://www.karateconnection.com).I can distinguish some near-identical techniques in your form, but the over all style of the form is very different (hand positioning, etc.). I suppose if I knew the applications of all of the techniques in your form, it would be a different strory.
parkerlineage Posted August 18, 2006 Author Posted August 18, 2006 I'm thinking of making another video where I demonstrate each technique in the kata individually, in the air, and on a body (a live body ). Should I? American Kenpo Karate- First Degree Black Belt"He who hesitates, meditates in a horizontal position."Ed Parker
Eric_ Posted August 18, 2006 Posted August 18, 2006 Absolutely! It would really help to clarify what is exactly going on in your form. Plus, it would be cool.
alsey Posted August 18, 2006 Posted August 18, 2006 if you're willing to, that would be great. "Gently return to the simple physical sensation of the breath. Then do it again, and again, and again. Somewhere in this process, you will come face-to-face with the sudden and shocking realization that you are completely crazy. Your mind is a shrieking, gibbering madhouse on wheels." - ven. henepola gunaratana

bushido_man96 Posted August 18, 2006 Posted August 18, 2006 I'm thinking of making another video where I demonstrate each technique in the kata individually, in the air, and on a body (a live body ). Should I?Would that be like Bunkai applications? I am interested in seeing it! https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com

Should I?That would be great! is there another name of the kata other than Long Form 3? I am not familiar with the style and I do not know.
