[QUOTE="ISDS, post: 2419792, member: 793944"] Legitimate lineage kempo, no... it doesn't. Kempo is one of the styles that is commonly claimed by McDojo and poor teachers with incomplete styles because it's a hybrid style that combines many different concepts from older styles. It's easy to claim hybrid styles as what you teach because you can always argue that your particular style is unique to your own interpretations. Jeet Kune Do, Kempo, Kun Tao... These are some of the major hybrid styles that are often claimed by those not actually qualified to teach them. Your friend's shift in attitude is a good sign he's training in a non-legitimate lineage of "Kempo". Any legitimate traditional martial arts teacher (Kempo falls under traditional) seeks to instill discipline and humility in their students as part of their primary and foundation training. To fail to do so is to be a poor teacher. [/QUOTE]
