My initial goal in this blog is to address the theory of each of the empty hand self-defense techniques in the Five Animal Kenpo System. This will not happen overnight (but hopefully within a year's span!) and as with most of my blogging attempts I suspect that this will occur is spurts. The student on the mat that day gets priority over my blog objectives. The reality is that I spend far more time training and teaching then writing or filming (just ask Richard Fox... who I am well aware is still waiting for Nunchaku Form and Knife Form DVDs).
I am going to lay some ground rules for myself. I am going treat these more as journal entries than works of literary art. I want the theory out there instead of just bouncing around in my head and if I over edit demand too much exactness in this process than I will throw in the towel and about three techniques will get described. So here we go. I welcome comments but will display only the ones I feel offer additional insight or raise questions I want to further explore. So "you suck" or "wow, you are cool" is never going to be displayed so don't bother with either.
