I've already stated that I was looking into BJJ and krav maga to round each other out. I'm sure I would only last a week tho, right?
What exactly is so bad about kenpo? I've read about it on bullshido and people there even say it depends on the school and the teacher. Are the techniques ineffective? Are they too flashy and worthless instead of simple and to the point effective?
I am looking for constructive thoughts on martial arts styles, not a fucking beauty contest, but that's all you've given me. "BJJ and Muy thai" just like every wanna be MMA fighter spouts. I want to know WHY. Convince me. A beauty contest isn't gonna do it, pal.

Kung Fu Masters who are out of shape, and can't even tie their belt around their expansive waists are NOT people you want to you how to fight. What's so hard to understand about that? Yah I wanna learn how to punch and kick the air from a guy who gets winded and starts sweating bowing to me.
UFC 1 - 4 posted by The Senator should be more than enough to convince anyone what they need to and NOT train in. It's your money, and more important, your life that is in question, and if you don't do your own due diligence, that's your own fault. Why isn't Kenpo Karate, Shaoliin Boxing, Krav Maga, etc used in MMA? Oh because it has rules, right?
This video is a 25+ years Kung Fu Shaolin Kenpo Master, in excellent shape and over 220lbs getting into a street fight with one of my friends, and fellow Bullshido Admin. Notice how he tries to eye gouge, and then gives up as he's getting his face caved in. By a 150lbs Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Blue Belt (Thatls one after white belt). Even with no rules, and HUGE SIZE disparity, the Martial Art that trains alive, and spars at 100% every single class will 9 out of 10 come out winning. Waste your time kicking and punching the air, or learn how to fight. No pre determined moves, "If someone chokes me, I'll do this" bullshit, that shit will get you killed.
