Martial arts are wonderful things, but they can’t be all things to all people simultaneously. There’s simply no way that someone could train elite level athletes, military personnel, law-enforcement, and civilians in self-protection effectively at the same time with the same curriculum – the goals and requirements are just too different.
The goals for the Casey Clayton’s Kenpo system are as follows:
- Prevent or reduce damage taken in attempted physical assaults
- Both from the attacker and resulting from improperly executed strikes
- Be able to handle violence in a one-on-one situation against an average person effectively
- Allow people of older age to be able to defend themselves physically as effectively as younger people
Summed up:
I want a 55 year old grandmother that hasn’t been active since doing cheer in Highschool to be able to defend herself effectively.
