I know more or less what they're trying to say, thanks to the context, but it's still really confusing and distracting.
Other than that, though, I've found the TVN subs to be reasonably satisfactory. And I'm saying that as someone who prefers full and localized translations over the more literal style TVN uses.
Kenshi is Knight and Kenpou is the name of a fighting style. I'm assuming you are talking about the two episodes with the most badass character in the history of Sentai.
Here:
Kenpō (拳法?) is the name of several Japanese martial arts. The word kenpō is a Japanese translation of the Chinese word "quánfǎ. This term is often informally transliterated as "kempo", as a result of applying Traditional Hepburn romanization,[1] but failing to use a macron to indicate the long vowel. The generic nature of the term combined
Developed in 1932 by Muneomi Sawayama, the art places an equal emphasis on striking techniques using hands and feet, immobilization and controls, projections and take-downs.
