  • Gauging Footwork in Defending Against Kicking Attacks in Kenpo
    Gauging Footwork in Defending Against Kicking Attacks in Kenpo 1st Degree Black Belt Thesis By Mr. David Byrne Celbridge Kenpo Karate Academy Introduction The following are the eight techniques selected for analysis: • Deflecting Hammer- Straight Right Kick • Thrusting Salute- Straight Left Kick • Swinging Pendulum- Right Roundhouse Kick • Detour From Doom- Right Round House Kick • Hugging Pendulum- Right Thrusting Knife Kick • Retreating Pendulum- Rear Cross Heel Kick • Dance of Darkness- Straight Right Kick Right Punch • Unwinding Pendulum- Straight Right Kick Right Punch One of the most difficult things to do when faced with an attacker is to decide what weapons he will employ - Hands, Feet, Knife, Bottle or Stick and how to react with the correct block or defence in a split second. The most important consideration initially must be range and environment. By using your judgement and experience to gauge your attackers range, you can increase the distance between you, which gives you time to decide on your defence, reduces your chance of injury and unsettles your opponent by removing his advantage of intent and forethought. As Mr. Parker said "Distance is your best friend". This is known in Kenpo as Depth Perception which allows you to follow the logical sequence of how I have been taught all of my techniques, the most important is the first one, followed by the second and third. The eight considerations or factors that must be followed in combat if you are to be successful are : • Environment • Range • Position • Manoeuvres • Targets • Natural Weapons • Block • Cover I have chosen eight techniques from our syllabus in order to show how Kenpo uses depth perception and gauging footwork to prevent and eliminate the threat.

  • Aboutdog Brothersmartial Arts
    About Dog Brothers Martial Arts Dog Brothers Martial Arts (DBMA) is a system of many styles where the ultimate goal is to “walk as a warrior for all your days™.” As such we have an ap- proach that is in search of the totality of both ritual combat (sport fighting such as Mixed Martial Arts/Vale Tudo, Muay Kickboxing, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and others) and reality (practical street defense, weapon awareness, and uneven odds). This means that the greater mission is to have real skills throughout the entirety of one’s life—not just when one is young and competitive. Considerable thought and experience has gone into the development of this cur- riculum, and as is the case with all things taught in the DBMA curriculum: “If you see it taught, you see it fought.™” The curriculum is divided into 3 areas: Real Contact Stick Fighting, Kali Tudo™ and Die Less Often. A brief overview of these areas of study is found on the next page. What You’ll Learn Consistency Across Categories Fun, Fit, and Functional Hurting, Healing, and Harmonizing The Filipino Martial Arts are unique in that they As previously stated, we look to share the long In addition to combative tools, tactics, and focus on weapons first, and allow the learning that term training goal: “walk as a warrior for all techniques, DBMA also incorporates a healing takes place there to inform a practitioner’s empty your days™” with you.

In Europe, the School of Internal Arts (pseudonym) follows key principles of the ancient Chinese text The Yijinjing (The Muscle-Tendon Change Classic) “Skeleton up, flesh down”, in its online and offline pedagogy. This article draws on an ongoing ethnographic, netnographic and cross-cultural investigation of the transmission of knowledge in this atypical association that combines Taijiquan with a range of practices such as Qigong, body loosening exercises and meditation. Exploring the ideal body cultivated by the students, we describe and illustrate key (and often overlooked) body areas—namely the spine, scapula, Kua and feet, which are continually worked on in the School of Internal Arts’ exercise-based pedagogy. We argue that Neigong and Taijiquan, rather than being forms of physical education, are vehicles for adult physical re-education.

  • Martial Arts As Embodied Knowledge: Asian Traditions in a Transnational World
    1 Introduction Martial Arts, Transnationalism, and Embodied Knowledge D. S. Farrer and John Whalen-Bridge The outlines of a newly emerging field—martial arts studies—appear in the essays collected here in Martial Arts as Embodied Knowledge: Asian Traditions in a Transnational World. Considering knowledge as “embodied,” where “embodiment is an existential condition in which the body is the subjective source or intersubjective ground of experience,” means under- standing martial arts through cultural and historical experience; these are forms of knowledge characterized as “being-in-the-world” as opposed to abstract conceptions that are somehow supposedly transcendental (Csor- das 1999: 143). Embodiment is understood both as an ineluctable fact of martial training, and as a methodological cue. Assuming at all times that embodied practices are forms of knowledge, the writers of the essays presented in this volume approach diverse cultures through practices that may appear in the West to be esoteric and marginal, if not even dubious and dangerous expressions of those cultures. The body is a chief starting point for each of the enquiries collected in this volume, but embodiment, connecting as it does to imaginative fantasy, psychological patterning, and social organization, extends “far beyond the skin of the practicing individual” (Turner and Yangwen 2009). The discourse of martial arts, which is composed of the sum total of all the ways in which we can register, record, and otherwise signify the experience of martial arts mind- 1 © 2011 State
