    Greetings and congratulations on your Advanced Green Belt. Your

    commitment to practice shows in your solid skills and deepening

    knowledge. This next step begins your Black Belt Year, a time of even

    greater development and dedication to training.

    By now, you should have already received your Black Belt Book. The

    Book details a years worth of assignments to help you develop as a

    martial artist and as a person. Please speak with your instructor at anytime for help, guidance or clarification of any part of these assignments.

    On a personal note, I strongly advise beginning work on your

    assignments as early as possible. Having once procrastinated on a goal

    of 10,000 pushups in a year, I ended up pumping out 400 a day in the

    last weeks prior to testing. These assignments are far easier and much

    more valuable if completed over time.

    Congratulations again and welcome to your Black Belt Year.

    Sincerely,

    Jason W. Brick

    President, Bushido Martial Arts

    I will apply myself to the study of karate.

    I will push myself consistently

    to develop my mind, spirit and body

    beyond what I once believed

    to be my limits.

    I will think with clarity.

    I will move with purpose.

    I will act with love.

    I am a martial artist.

    I will achieve these goals.

    Welcome

    ESSAYS

    Bushido is the Way of the Warrior, or rather one expression of the

    Warrior. Through history, this way has been celebrated by men and

    women from many cultures. Early cultures included the Zulus, Vikings,

    Toltecs and Roman Legionnaires. Later came Samurai, Knights and

    Musketeers. Today, the same values can be found in Soldiers, Police,

    Firefighters and Teachers.

    Regardless of culture of origin, the Warrior can be summed up with two

    words: Passion and Responsibility.

    To even consider becoming a warrior requires us to care deeply about

    personal development, about our values, about other people and about

    the world. This passion fuels our training. It enables us to be the sort

    of people who can stand up and make a difference.

    A Warrior also accepts responsibility. Whether youre standing on a

    line of battle or working a difficult job to make a difference, a Warrior

    steps forward. A Warrior is always willing to look at a situation

    requiring change and say I will make that change.

    Today there are literally dozens of senior Kenpokas who call themselves

    Master. Some are genuine. Others are not. An incomplete list of

    solid, master-level practitioners includes Jeff Speakman, Dian Tanaka,

    Lee Wedlake, Larry Tatum and Frank Trejo. There are many others

    who could claim the title, but choose not to, simply preferring to be

    called a martial artist.

    Within the context of our own system, a few people require special

    mention.

    Bruce Juchnick, 10th degree black belt and head of the Kosho-Ryu Kenpo

    system. Hanshi Juchnick is considered by many to be the best living

    practitioner of the martial arts. He is also known for his

    near-encyclopedic knowledge of martial arts styles and history. Mr.Juchnick is also one of the few people still living to have trained and

    studied with James Mitose, one of the revered ancestors of Kenpo in

    America.

    Al Tracy, 10th degree black belt, founder and head of Tracys Chinese

    Kenpo. Grand Master Tracy began training with Ed Parker, eventually

    helping him to develop his American Kenpo system. In time, he split

    with Mr. Parker to form his own organization. This group went on to

    become the largest chain of martial arts studios in America during the

    1980s.

    Bill Packer, 9th degree black belt and founder of American Kenpo Karate

    Academies. Mr. Packer built an organization of over 30 schools in 8

    states and Mexico. During his life, he taught Kenpo to thousands of

    men, women and children. Also a well-known kickboxing trainer, he

    produced over a dozen international champions over the course of his

    career. Mr. Packer died in the summer of 2005, leaving behind a strong

    organization and powerful legacy.

    Dave Hebler, 10th degree black belt and founder of the Original

    American Kenpo Karate Association. Mister Hebler was one of Ed

    Parkers original black belts and went on to be bodyguard for Elvis

    Presley. He was the original owner of the studio that became our home

    dojo in Hillsboro, Oregon. Currently retired from the Kenpo

    community, Mr. Hebler actively teaches and advocates for womenssafety nationwide.

    Discernment.

    Discernment is making good decisions. Theres an old story about a

    reporter interviewing a very successful man:

    Sir, whats the secret to your success?

    Good decisions.

    And how do you make good decisions?Experience.

    And how do you gain experience?

    Making bad decisions.

    In our training, we make mistakes without consequences. This is good

    in that it allows us to make our bad decisions in a safe and supportive

    environment. In the world, bad decisions often carry severe

    consequences.

    Martial arts training can help us make good decisions through patience,

    awareness and self-confidence. The long road of martial arts study gives

    us the perspective to understand that not all solutions are immediate.

    Sensitivity training helps us to build awareness of our surroundings

    before committing to action. Our growing skills lead to a self-confidence

    that helps us decide without the distractions of unproductive doubt or

    worry about outside judgment.

    Trusting our training helps us to trust ourselves.

    What is mastery? As brown belts, we begin to think concretely about

    the term. Our own system does not include the title Master, but the

    concept is vital to training.

    Perfection is a goal wise to aspire to, but unwise to demand of yourself.

    Similarly, Mastery is an imaginary end of your training journey. We can

    keep our sights on it as we would a beacon, but to hold ourselves to

    that standard can only mean disappointment and ultimate failure.

    This idea of Mastery goes beyond our combat training. Mastery includes

    mastery of self, mastery of our situation and eventually mastery of our

    own lives.

    Act with love.

    Of the three basic principals of Bushido Kenpo, this is the most

    important. It is also the most likely to fundamentally change our lives

    for the better. To act with love can clear the mind of troubling

    thoughts, improve our health and sense of worth. It can take our

    personal relationships to a new level.

    Acting with love means to keep kindness in mind whenever we interact

    with another person. If your spouse or child does something annoying,

    even hurtful, you can avoid a fight by keeping love in mind. Acting with

    love allows us to forgive people for slights and insults.

    Like so many other aspects of karate, the concept is simpler to

    understand than to keep in practice. It can be helpful to consider what

    you deserve and what somebody intends.

    You deserve to feel good about your relationship with the people you

    love. Even when those behave inconsiderately. Do you deserve to

    spend an evening fretting over a comment you overheard at the office?

    Not likely. Do you deserve to trust that your good friends respect you

    and care for you, even if they might have said something snide? You

    betcha.

    Intent is another important aspect. Often we take things personally that

    rarely have anything to do with us. Some idiot gives you the finger in

    traffic. Was that meant personally? Nope. That person doesnt even

    knowyou. They gave you the finger, because they were in a bad mood

    over things in their life that have nothing to do with you. If your

    husband comes home and snaps at you, thats likely because of

    something that happened at work. Most of the things that insult or

    slight us in daily life have nothing to do with us. If we remember that

    intent and to act with love, we find many slights will slide right off us.

    Of course, all this depends on surrounding yourself with supportive and

    loving people. Author Ray Bradbury once wrote Consider your

    friends. Do they believe in you, or do they stunt your growth with

    ridicule and disbelief? If the latter, you have no friends. Go find some.

    The Brown Belt is linked with the Earth, with rocks and roots, and with

    the Snake. The snake stylist takes the speed, intelligence and accuracy

    and adds to it concealment and rooted power. As you begin to

    understand and apply Chi to your movements, this vital life force

    becomes a metaphorical poison to your attacker, informing your

    motions with great power and vicious intent.

    The Snake enters into combat only in the presence of a deadly threat.

    As such, the Snake has no opponents, nor any attackers. A Snake fights

    only against enemies, inflicting as much damage as possible in the

    smallest amount of time with the least risk or harm to himself and those

    he protects.

    The concealment of the snake relies on surprise and awareness. As anadvanced martial artist, you have trained your awareness to the point

    that most potential problems are evident before they happen. You can

    use this advance warning to slip away without incident. If escape isnt an

    option, you can use that advance warning to set yourself up for a

    surprise attack.

    Rooted power comes from connectedness with the ground. Low

    stances, heavy body and moving one step at a time provide power. As

    your techniques become more complex and difficult, it remains

    important to remember your principals of power: solid stance,

    marriage of gravity, backup mass and kiai.

    BASICS & CONCEPTS

    Grafting

    Is the term for something youve already practiced. Many techniques

    include opportunity to transition into another technique, either to alter

    the technique or continue the attack. Take for example the following

    pairs.

    Thrusting Salute Bow of Compulsion

    Clutching Feathers Five Swords

    Twin Kimono Reversing Mace

    Flight to Freedom Wrist Lock Flow II

    Heavy Body Principal

    Moving with weight low and from the hips generates power and stability.

    Take the rag doll motion from your dragon style and drive from below.

    Hitting with the entire planet.

    Move Twice

    When manipulating another body, move twice. The first motion places

    the attacker in a position of discomfort. As they adjust, move a second

    time while the attacker is in motion and therefore weightless.
