Pages : 110
Book Description
Master Chinese internal boxing or Hsing-I with this illustrated martial arts guide. Unlike most martial arts, Chinese internal (soft-style) boxing does not depend on muscular strength. The secret behind its power lies in the cultivation and practical application of internal energy—ch'i, There are basically three soft-style martial arts: T'ai-chi, already well known worldwide, and Hsing-I and Pa-kua, relative newcomers to the West. Although they are not essentially fighting arts but living arts, they are devastating as systems of self-defense. This martial arts book outlines the history of Hsing-I—a style of boxing given form (Hsing) by the mind (i)—and gives a thorough account of the philosophy behind the techniques. It also presents to the West for the first time the orthodox style of the late Chinese Hsing-i master Ch'en P'an-ling. Described here in great detail and fully illustrated are the basic techniques, the five fists of Hsing-i, a linked form of the five fists, and the twelve animal styles.

The Masters Manual -- Chuan Fa Kenpo Close Combat
Author: Edward Orem
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 131208359X
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 204
Book Description
For instructors of non-sport martial training, this Master's Manual details 340 duan chuan fa or "Short Fist" extremely aggressive and terminal close range fighting techniques, maneuvers and strategies against specific aggressions. As this is oriented toward seasoned instructors, no photos are included, nor are they necessary with the detailed written directions. This is not "self defense" material: that is not its genesis and it is patently inappropriate for those who do not train seriously.The techniques present combinations of throws, locks, breaks, holds, chops, kicks, punches and other strikes arranged in 11 levels of belt ranks up to 5th Black, as presently used in the Chuan Fa Kenpo system. Each technique will easily suggest 10 optional and equally effective maneuvers, i.e. these are "seeds" for dynamic, adaptive responses. There has been a deliberate attempt in the Manual's layout to allow room for you to leave tracks as you modify these seminal maneuvers.

The Master's Manual

Pages : 202
Book Description
For instructors of non-sport martial training, this Sifu or Sensei's handbook offers a “seed repository” of 340 duanda chuan or “Short Fist” techniques against specific aggressions. The techniques are detailed step-by-step verbally;no photos are used--nor should they be necessary for the experienced teacher.The thinking instructor will appreciate the possibilities of this well-organized curriculum. Extremely aggressive and terminal techniques are detailed step-by-step. This is not “self defense” material: that is not its genesis and it is patently inappropriate for those who do not train seriously.The techniques present combinations of throws, locks, breaks, holds, chops, kicks, punches and other strikes arranged in 11 levels of belt ranks up to 5th Black, as presently used in the Shaolin Chuan Fa Kenpo system. The first four levels (White, Blue, 2nd Degree Green, 1st Degree Green) concentrate on dealing with how to deal with holds and locks, and leave the assailant down-and-out in the process. Although some time is spent on defending against fist and leg attacks, not until the following two levels (3rd Brown and 2nd Brown) will such challenges be studied. The seventh and eighth belt levels (1st Brown and 1st Degree Black) then concentrate almost exclusively on resolving multiple opponent and weapon attacks. And finally, the defense curriculum of the last three belts (2nd through 4th Black) elicits longer and more complex responses, drawing on the incremented training of the previous levels.These maneuvers insist on development of the capacity for fluid adaptation according to circumstance, practitioner, and opponent. Adaptability and resourcefulness are sought, not robotic responses. The idea here is to place the onus of responsibility directly on the practitioner--where it belongs. Each technique will easily suggest 10 optional and equally effective maneuvers. That's what I mean by saying these are “seeds.” There has been a deliberate attempt in the Manual's layout to allow room for you to leave tracks as you modify these seminal suggestions.PRIME PRINCIPLE: maximize body-mind powerChuan Fa Kenpo is a combat orientated method developed with one purpose in mind: destroying the enemy. Based on close range fighting techniques, maneuvers and strategies, it specializes in combining whole-body power into a central path. The style functions at all angles and distances; however due to its striking methodology, maximum power is reached through short-range attacks.
