A kung-fu fighter is a combination of warrior and scholar, using the deadly blend of brain, brawn and body for aggressive attack, and man stopping counter-attack.
Kung-fu teaches that turning the other cheek to those whose ways of life are set in strength and violence is wrong. Such a passive attitude enourages lawlessness and injustice. This book will help you overcome those who intimidate to survive.
Over 256 step-by-step photographs, diagrams and illsutrations cover:
Eighteen step-by-step techniques from the full course meal of attack and self defense
Kenpo's real secret of speed
Kenpo's techniques of aggression
Mind force principles of Kenpo Karate
Mind training, the best weapon
Philosophy of the Kenpo Karate practitioner
Secrets of internal power
Secrets of weapoon invisibility and much more
Some unique aspects of Kenpo Karate presented here are:
Strike him where least expected, when least expected. Strike first and strike fast and do maximum damage with that opening blow. Like the tiger, atttack at tha most apporpriate moment
It is much better to be tried by twelve than carried by six. Who ever was right really makes no difference to the loser. Your main objective is to survive the fight, not worry about rights.
A blow to the throat is very effective against a larger opponent. You do not need a cannon to kill a sparrow, nor superior power to crush a throat. Wisdom, accuracy, speed and power are the keys of wisdom to maximum self-protection.
Over kill is valid in combat. If you can stop him with one blow, fine....but make sure you are programmed to continue your meal-of-death. Otherwise, the opposition might stomp you into a greasy spot on the side walk.
When fighting for your life, neither your belt rank, nor your time-in-grade mean anything. The only thing that counts is when pure knuckles meet pure flesh. Study this book and discover for yourself the Kenpo Karate Art of Self Defense for subduing the enemy.
