Kenpo - How to Survive Life by Roy Travert Pdf

Kenpo has much more to offer people than just a means to defend yourself on the street. It has at its centre a unique strategy to survive life and the psychological techniques it uses. This is something that everybody can learn and use to their own advantage, every day of their lives. Kenpo is a self-defence system that encompasses both the physical and psychological aspect of fighting, and is one of the simplest systems to learn. It is structured in such a way, that from the very first lesson, you will leave the Dojo with valuable skills. These new found skills will help give you a new sense of confidence and perspective in every sphere of your life. It is an unfortunate fact that violent acts upon innocent people, are increasing at a dramatic rate. Wherever you live, whatever your circumstances, we should all have the right to live life the way we want to. However, to survive in life, we need to develop some basic survival skills. Life has changed, it is a fact of modern day living, that we need to be more aware of our environment and who is in it, along with the implications that it may bring. Our life survival skills have also changed, not only is it important to learn people skills and how to deal with them, but skills involving self-defence are just as important in today's modern and increasingly violent society. The development of mental strength and conditioning, is an essential part of modern living as well as learning self-defence skills. Having purely physical skills, is not enough to circumvent many of life's obstacles. Whether they are physical or mental, we need skills to deal with them. Training both our mind and body is the only way to achieve this. I have written this book to not only give an insight into my chosen Martial Art of Kenpo, but also to share some of the mental and physical conditioning techniques it uses. These techniques can be used by anybody to get through life in a productive positive way, whilst protecting yourself from people, circumstances and events. In many ways, this book is about self-help, it is a compilation of many of life's experiences, which can cost you money, friends, jobs or physical pain. Perhaps after reading this, it will motivate you to do something positive, be constructive or just extend yourself outside of life's bubble. This is the first book in a series of three, it is not possible to include all elements that Kenpo contains in one book. I have condensed what I feel are the key basics that are necessary for you to build a solid base from which to fight from, and be able to add to it in the future. The following two books will detail the "physical application" of Kenpo in much more detail and can be used as a reference for your studies of the art.

American Kenpo Karate by Irvin B. Gill Pdf

Almost 50 years ago, a new television show swept our nation and captured my attention. It was called "Kung Fu". It starred David Carradine as a Shaolin monk wandering the American Wild West. The philosophy was appealing, the fight scenes were riveting, but what really captured my interest was the relationship between the young Kwai Chang Caine and his mentors Master Po and Master Kan. So, I set in search for my own Master Po. Over the years I visited various styles and schools in my area. None worked for me. Until 1990, when I met an older, white haired gentleman who taught something called American Kenpo. His manner drew me in; his love for what he taught was infectious. But as time passed, I discovered that I wanted the art to contain more that basic moves, katas and self-defense techniques. Was that all there was, just to collect movements as if they were trinkets for a curio cabinet? Where was the philosophy? Where were the fundamental principles? I felt as if I was lost in the woods. I needed a map to chart my course through the unknown. Because when you have a map, a compass and a point of reference, you know where you are, where you are going and how you are going to get there.American Kenpo Karate - the Key Principles is that map for the Kenpo practitioner. This book explores the five key principles that are the reasons behind the physical movements encompassed by this martial arts system. Just because a movement involves a kick or a punch, it isn't necessarily karate, let alone American Kenpo. With that map, it is difficult to get off the track.There are over 200 photographs that help to demonstrate concepts within this book, which was written so that anyone, martial artists and non-martial artists alike, can understand and appreciate it.

The Complete Guide to Northern Praying Mantis Kung Fu by Stuart Alve Olson Pdf

Developed by Wang Lang over 300 years ago, Praying Mantis Kung Fu is the only martial art based on the fighting skills of an insect. This fascinating system utilizes swift, methodical movements for defense and offense, and is well respected as an art that helps practitioners develop great strength and perseverance. The Complete Guide to Northern Praying Mantis Kung Fu provides an in-depth look at the history and practice of this remarkable martial art. Author Stuart Alve Olson, a student of T. T. Liang, draws on the lineages of Masters Feng Huan-I and Wang Han-Fon, but includes detailed description of all major schools, styles, and lineages. The first half of the book focuses on tactics and theory; the second half contains step-by-step descriptions of the fundamental Praying Mantis stances, exercises, footwork, and kicks, clearly illustrated by more than 200 photographs. What sets this book apart from other works on Praying Mantis is its philosophical depth; author Olson gives a clear account of the development of the art and the Taoist principles from which it arose. This book provides the basis for not only mastering the martial art of Praying Mantis Kung Fu but also mastering oneself—the true goal of all martial arts.
