Congratulations on your promotion.

Promotion to Purple Belt represents entry into the intermediate stage

of martial arts training. By now, many basics that were at first

challenging have become second nature. Techniques that used to feel

complex are now simple. You are ready to build on those basics by

learning increasingly more difficult basics, techniques, concepts and

forms.

As you training advances, we would challenge you to develop your level

of commitment as well. To increase your practice time by five or ten

minutes per day will result in a noticeable improvement in your skill.

Taking the time for physical conditioning, even twenty minutes of daily

cardiovascular or strength training, will greatly increase your energy and

ability.

It may seem daunting to find a half an hour a day in our busy, modern

lives. You may want to consider training in front of the television, or

while on the phone, or in other moments when your body is idle. You

will also find that daily exercise can increase your productivity, leaving

you extra time at the end of the day beyond the half-hour you set aside

for training.

Sincerely,

Jason W. Brick

President, Bushido Martial Arts

Opening Comments

ESSAYS

As an experienced practitioner of the martial arts, its likely that newer

students and laymen will start asking you about it. A white belt may ask

you for help with a technique, or a co-worker might ask you to show

what youve learned. Perhaps a neighbor notices that youve lost

weight, or move better or just seem to be in a good mood after class.

Whatever questions come your way, by now youre more than qualified

to answer. While answering, its important to keep two things in mind.

First, remain open to dissenting opinions. Even when youre certain

about what something means to you, other people have different

perspectives, priorities and experiences. Besides, even if you disagree

vehemently with what somebody else says, their opinion might still lead

you to a new discovery as you think hard for a way to prove themwrong.

Second, dont be afraid to say I dont know. Youre still relatively new

to the art and cant be expected to know all things about everything.

Theres nothing wrong in checking your sources, asking a more

experienced student or simply taking time to think about it. Admitting

our weak points is a vital aspect of training.



12/54

During the 1960s, American Kenpo split into two major branches. The

Tracy Kenpo system embraced the Chinese heritage of Kenpo. The

original Parker branch stayed with their American approach. The

differences were primarily cosmetic longer techniques vs. more

techniques per rank, for example. Sadly, these superficial differences of

opinion led to real animosity and lack of communication between these

brother styles.

Grand Master Ed Parker died December 15, 1990 without naming a

successor to his system. As a result, the Parker branch fragmented into

numerous smaller organizations. There are literally dozens of different

Kenpo associations active in the world today. Again, many of these

groups have allowed minor disagreements, personal egos and political

argument to estrange them from one another.

All Kenpo comes from the same root and is, at heart, similar. In truth,

studying from several branches gives the student a better understanding

of the tree that is Kenpo. The Bushido Kenpo System draws from both

major Kenpo lineages, and is founded in the belief that all martial arts

are equally valid and that there is wisdom to be gained from all corners.

Bushido Kenpo includes material from both the Tracy and Parker Kenpo

systems, as well as concepts from Kosho Ryu Kenpo, a grandfather style

to both American branches. It also draws flavor from the cross-training

of senior students, capitalizing on Kenpos eclectic nature to include the

influence of Tang Soo Do, Jeet Kun Do, Arnis, Aikido and other arts.

ESSAYS



13/54

Ethical

Truth

Adult practitioners know the importance of being truthful with others.

Weve had a lifetime of experience to learn the consequences of lying.

Weve observed what happens to people who build a reputation of

dishonesty. Weve also experienced those difficult times when telling a

lie is necessary in the name of kindness, or even personal safety. This

balancing act is part of everyday life and not an object for discussion

here.

More important to the study of martial arts is the concept of truth

within oneself. Absolute honesty is vital to the process of personal

improvement. Only through stark, honest self-assessment can we hope

to achieve strong personal growth. We must realize, admit and

understand our weaknesses and failings so that we can mitigate andeventually eliminate them.

When practicing your art, its important to be aware of your

weaknesses in stance, power, flexibility or understanding. Once aware,

the natural tendency is to avoid working in our areas of weakness. It

makes us uncomfortable and embarrassed. But honesty and

commitment to growth require that we take the time to train our areas

of weakness even harder than we do our areas of strength.

ESSAYS


14/54

As skill grows, so does ego. Intermediate students begin to form their

own opinions of how and why Kenpo works, how martial arts work and

how they should be taught. Youll have already made some decisions

about which techniques are better than others, or at least which ones

you are more or less comfortable executing.

This knowledge of Kenpo sufficient to make judgments is an

excellent sign of your progress as a martial artist. It can be dangerously

easy to slip from being able to make judgments to becoming judgmental

of others. Kenpo, like life, is an individual experience. What is right for

you may not be right for others. One of the strengths of Kenpo is its

ability to be individualized.

Finally, there is the temptation to join in the popular battle of which

martial arts are superior to others. Our egos tell us that Kenpo must

be the best. Others will tell us differently. Every decade has its own fad

martial art, which the press will hype as the only true form of

self-defense. In truth, there is no superior style of martial arts. There

are superior teachers, superior students and superior combinations of a

style with an individual. Kenpo is no better nor worse than other arts.The truths behind our techniques are the same truths behind the

techniques of other systems. Its our responsibility to learn and

represent those truths well.

Philosophical

ESSAYS



15/54

Think with clarity.

To keep a mind free of clutter or doubt is to keep a mind focused on

our goals and ready for training. Clear thought is key to proper study,

to personal serenity and to working effectively. Mental clarity begins

with keeping our goals in mind. Before doing anything, consider why

you are doing it and how it must be done. Taking each action with a

clear goal before us keeps us on track and moving in the right direction.

Working hard without a defined goal has been compared to an expert

marksman firing into the dark.

Before beginning class or practice, take a moment to clear your mind of

troubling or distracting thoughts. To set down your worries for the

hour of class is one of the greatest gifts of modern martial arts training.If you wish to pick those troubles back up after class, thats up to you.

Often, though, the hour of class reminds us that we didnt really want

them in the first place.

This is a simple concept, but a difficult practice. A helpful image is of a

pebble landing in a pond. When the pebble hits, it sends out ripples

tiny disturbances radiating from the point of impact. Look at the pond a

moment later and the surface is again smooth. The disturbance has

passed, leaving the water again clear and uncluttered.

The Purple Belt is linked with smoke, with mist and with the animal

Crane. The Crane stylist is typified by intelligence and careful strategy.

Where the Tiger attacks in an overwhelming straight-line offensive, the

Crane moves around an opponent to dodge attacks then strikes at

vulnerable points. Picture a crane hunting for a fish. It stands

motionless in the stream, watching the water with focused intent. It

waits for its moment and only then attacks with a single, swift and

accurate motion.

The Crane is a counter-fighter, replacing the heat of the Tigers fire with

the evasion of smoke and mist. No matter how hard you grasp at

smoke, it will always slip through your fingers. Analysis of combat

reveals the concept of the dynamic sphere. A combatant can be

pictured as being the center of a field of perception, energy and defense.

At rest, all points are equally protected by this field. To move or attack

stretches the sphere in one direction or another. Attacks are viewed as

commitments of energy. To commit energy at one point means to draw

that energy from another, leaving one point vulnerable and open to

counterattack. The Crane watches for these vulnerabilities and reacts

in time to exploit them.

To be able to strike with such precision and timing one must build

speed, flexibility and awareness through practice drills and physical

conditioning. Additionally, deep consideration of strategy begins with

the Crane stylist. To fight intelligently, it is important to understand not

just what to do, but why it must be done.

CONCEPTS


Counter-grab

When grabbed by an opponent, a strong opening strategy is to grab the

grab. By capturing your attackers limb and shifting your weight you can

turn their hold into something that holds them. Also, keeping contact

with an opponent tells you about their position and gives hints as to

their intention.

Finger Lock

When performing a finger lock, keep the following things in mind:

1. Hold the finger like a knife handle, with your thumb towards their

hand.

2. Keep the fingers bent as far as possible at all times.

3. A one-finger lock is best for damage. A two-finger lock is best for

control.

4. Dont allow opponents fingers to point toward the ceiling: this is

the easiest position from which to escape.

5. Finger locks, like transition stances, are not static moves.

6. You wont be able to hold anybody in a finger lock for long.

7. Use it to control and maneuver your opponent, or to escape

from grappling, then either attack or escape.


50/54

Transition Stance

Some stances, such as cat and crane stances, are not intended for

staying in. These stances provide better mobility or temporary

advantage, but leave you vulnerable in one or more ways. When a

technique or kata calls for a transition stance, know that you are meant

to move through it quickly, use it for the tool it is and return to a

fighting stance.

Wrist Lock

When performing a wrist lock, keep the following things in mind:

1. Hold on to the meat of the hand, not the fingers or the wrist.

2. Dont try and move the arm in a circle. Rather, maneuver the

palm so it is perpendicular to the body, then press straight.

3. Wrist locks, like transition stances, are not static moves.

4. You wont be able to hold anybody in a wrist lock for long.

5. Use it to control and maneuver your opponent, then eitherattack or escape.
