Congratulations on your promotion to Brown Belt, the beginning of
true expertise. By now you are very capable of protecting yourself and
the people you love. More importantly, you have developed mental and
emotional skills to improve your health, relationships and quality of life.
In two years of training, youve performed literally thousands of
repetitions of basic strikes, kicks and blocks. Youve memorized seven
complex kata and 117 self-defense techniques. You know how to hitand how to dodge. You know how to throw and how to land. You
know how to breathe and how to relax.
The next step in your journey is to apply this knowledge to the rest of
your life. Delayed Sword just isnt appropriate in the board room or
with your spouse. A solid front kick isnt useful in traffic. But the idea
of remaining unhurt by attacks and then moving straight to solve the
problem can be used anywhere.
Sincerely,
Jason W. BrickPresident, Bushido Martial Arts

Opening Comments
ESSAYS
As a beginning student you learned what to do. Block here, strike
there. Move just so. You learned strict patterns by rote and repeated
them on demand.
As an intermediate student you learned how to do it. A block must be
aligned with your center and angled correctly, else it wont work. An
effective strike is relaxed until the moment of impact. Your stances
must be deep and solid, but not so much as to limit mobility.
As an advanced student, your next challenge is to begin to express your
kenpo personally. Put yourself in the motions, literally turning your
Senseis kenpo into your own. Start by becoming involvedwith each and
every motion in you kata or technique. Commit to your training not
just physically and mentally, but emotionally.
One place this can be difficult is with your earliest material. By now you
know Short One Kata well enough to do it without thought. At this
point of unconscious success, its easy to let the mind wander as we run
through our basic material. Instead, commit to adding emotional
involvement to your earliest techniques. By doing so, we open a door
to important discovery even in the simplest of our basics.

Just as all good martial artists are constantly growing, so do all quality
martial arts develop and change. Kenpo is ever expanding as new ideas
are developed and new realities enter the picture. For example,
grappling sports and ground fighting have found new popularity in our
media and culture. As this means grappling-type attacks are more likely
now, many Kenpo schools have added a wrestling or grappling
component to their programs.
Our own Bushido Kenpo has added much to Ed Parkers original
system. Weapon skills, techniques and forms were imported from the
Tracy Kenpo System, as well as kata from Tang Soo Do and concepts
from Kosho Ryu and Aikido. When our senior teachers realized that
many of our weapon disarms are unrealistic given current technologies,
we retooled those techniques to make them work in the real world.
In the larger picture, Kenpo has grown, evolved and changed across the
world. Many of the original Kenpo Seniors have developed their own
systems and started their own organizations. Kenpo 2000, Kenpo 32,
Kenpo 5.0 and Kenpo Sublevel Four are examples of how other masters
have evolved the art.
Our art will continue to grow, just like a good student continues to
grow. As you advance in rank and skill, your own insights may well
contribute to this evolution.

Ethical
Loyalty
Loyalty means sticking to your guns. Its doing right by your beliefs,
your commitments and your people despite obstacles in your path. It
means not allowing selfishness, hardship or fear distract you from your
path. This is a simple, accurate and popular definition, but by no means
the entire story.
A key part of loyalty is making intelligent choices about where you place
your support. It is neither blind obedience nor fanatical devotion.
Loyalty can mean serving an idea at great personal cost. It can mean
having an uncomfortable conversation with a friend who makes
self-destructive choices. It can even mean having the person you are
loyal to accusing you of disloyalty.
Like faith, blind loyalty serves neither the giver nor the recipient.
Loyalty can only be meaningful as part of a critical, intelligent decision
that is reexamined as frequently as it is reinforced.

Taoism is a philosophy from eastern Asia, especially popular in China,
Korea and Japan. It is not a religion, though its precepts have been
incorporated into many religions from that part of the world. In this
way it is much like western morality. The concept of not stealing or
killing is a moral precept independent of Christianity, but still appears in
the Ten Commandments.
Taoism is a complex worldview with a deep history, impossible to
understand in just a brief essay. There are two facets of the philosophy
that are particularly important to the study of martial arts. These are
Detachment and Strength in Softness.
Weve discussed detachment in earlier essays: the ability to remain
calm under duress through stepping back emotionally. A specific imageis a powerful representation of this idea. A pebble drops into a pond,
where the water ripples for just a moment before returning to perfect
stillness.
To expand, detachment does not mean apathy or turning a blind eye to
problems. Rather, detachment allows us to perceive and solve
problems more effectively. If we separate ourselves from our
assumptions and attachments, we become better able to view the world
as it is, rather than as we want (or fear) it to be. Without this
separation and perspective it becomes impossible to find the right path.

Similarly, detachment allows us to make decisions and act without
clouded judgment. Often, the things we care most about fill us with
such powerful emotion that we lose sight of the best action. Consider a
fight with your spouse or another close friend. Its likely the situation
would be resolved better, even avoided entirely, if one of you were able
to approach the situation free of negative emotion. How would it have
gone if you were both in a state focused on the shared goal of solving a
problem? Detachment gives us the power to approach important
challenges in that positive mental state.
Strength in Softness carries its own image: a tree after a snowstorm.
Thick, powerful branches break under too much snow. The load is too
much for even their vast strength. In contrast, a young and flexible
branch merely bends under such weight. The snow sloughs off and thebranch survives. By now youve experienced this concept in sparring,
grappling and sensitivity exercises. Like your physical training, this can
be explored in the mental and emotional domains. The next time
youre wearing yourself out trying hard, try soft instead.
Of course, no philosophy can be explained in a brief essay. Some texts
for further reading include The Tao of Pooh by Benjamin Hoff, Tao Te
Chingattributed to Lao Tzu and theAnelects of Confucious. A little
closer to home, many of the parables of Jesus Christ show a philosophy
remarkably in line with Taoist thought.

We discussed chi during your Advanced Green training, looking at it as
a tool to collect your focus. Chi can also be a tool to achieve calmness
and relaxation. It can even be use to relieve pain and accelerate healing.
There are many ideas as to what chi is or isnt. The simplest and most
useful definition is to view it as a tool to help you focus your intent
through imagery and concentration.
To calm and relax yourself using chi, simply close your eyes and picture
your body as a silhouette. For most people, the silhouette with be a
certain color. For many people, its the same color each time. For
others, a different color every visualization. As you breathe deeply,
simply change the color of your silhouette. Starting with your feet, fill
yourself with a calmer color (like a blue or a light yellow). Continuingto breathe, have the color rise up from your feet until your entire body
is this new, calm shade. Once youre filled up, breathe deeply for
another moment, then open your eyes.
A similar technique can be used to help heal minor injuries. Imagine the
injured area as a different color from the rest of your body. Then fill
the injured body part with the regular color. This takes time and
concentration. Many people will find that the area seems to resist
changing color. But with focus, you can use this method to relieve the
pain.

The snake stylist is expressed in two aspects: the constrictor and the
viper. Imagine a boa constrictor or Burmese python. Now picture an
asp or rattlesnake. These are two very different pictures of the same
sort of animal, but both vital parts of the snake concept.
The constrictor controls an enemy, first making him unable to mount
any attack or defense before finishing the encounter. Wrapping,
grabbing, winding, wrist and leg locks, leg bars and throws are major
weapons on a constrictors arsenal. Whenever possible, the constrictor
seeks to steal an enemys mobility and render him helpless.
For such tactics to work, the snake must have a solid connection with
the ground. The heels and balls of the feet must be planted. Keep
stances wide and powerful, moving from your hips and core. If you finda constrictor technique doesnt work, look first to your stance and your
grounding. More often than not youll find the problem is there.

BASICS & CONCEPTS
Kenpo Code Words
As mentioned earlier, the core of Kenpo is an alphabet of motion.
Each basic move is considered a letter. The art of Kenpo consists of
combining these letters into words, sentences, even poems of motion.
To extend this metaphor, you may also have noticed that certain words
have specific meanings when found in a technique name. Several words
represent a certain move or concept. For example, what can you
predict about a new technique with the word storm in the name?
The following is an incomplete list of Kenpo Code Words, left
undefined for your own exploration.

Encounter Range
When analyzing a technique or planning an attack, range is an important
consideration. Throwing an elbow at a distance of four feet doesnt
work any better than throwing a wheel kick at a distance of one
foot. Your techniques and kata have already given you an instinctive
understanding of distance.
In terms of theory, hand combat can be viewed as occurring at five
different ranges. The ranges themselves will determine the sorts of
strikes, techniques and strategies you can use at that moment. Its also
important to consider how to move safely from one range to another as
the encounter evolves.
The ranges to consider are:Safe Range: completely out of range of all weapons, even if one
combatant takes a step to close the distance.
Bridge Range: out of range of all weapons, but close enough to come
into range by taking a single closing step.
Long Range: within range of kicks and punches without taking a
closing step.

Short Range: within range for short kicks and punches, ideal range for
elbows and knee strikes.
Grappling Range: close enough to effectively use grabs, holds and
throws.
Ground Range: on the ground, actively rolling in a grapple.

BASICS & CONCEPTS
Learning Phases
Encoding your Kenpo (and most other skills) consists of three distinct
stages for each new skill, idea or technique.
The idealphase is the process of dissecting and analyzing a new
technique. In this phase, students memorize the structure and sequence
of the skill, learning the basics of how to apply it. By the end of this
phase, a student understands how to use the skill in the environment
predicted by the technique as a whole.
The what-ifphase consists of taking into account variables outside the
original predictions of the technique. The student begins to modify the
technique, adding, subtracting or changing aspects as the situation
demands.
The formulation phase occurs when the student is able to apply
discoveries from the what-if phase back to the ideal phase of
learning. The student can perform a technique automatically regardless
of anticipated or unanticipated variables. This phase represents a true
understanding of the technique, where adaptation is easy and automatic.
