Riassunto

Ultimate Kempo (also known as kenpo) is more than a book about technique and style; it's a study of movement, motion and balance that can enhance anyone's study of the martial arts. Its primary focus is not to inflict harm, but to avoid conflict through an understanding of Kosho Ryu's unique mental discipline and philosophy. If physical confrontation is unavoidable, then practitioners of kempo will learn to manipulate the balance and the structure of an opponent for optimal results. With hundreds of photographs and the provided DVD, Ultimate Kempo gives systematic guidance for maximum effectiveness in the striking, throwing and locking arts.

Product Description:

The greatest achievement in combat, according to the practitioners of Kosho Ryu Kempo Karate, is the one that comes when a physical confrontation is avoided and no one is hurt. This is at the heart of Kosho Ryu Kempo Karate. To that end, the techniques offered in this book with its over 400 photographs, details the variety of methods for escaping personal injury without hurting the assailant. If physical confrontation is unavoidable, then the practitioner of this art will learn to manipulate the balance and the structure of an opponent, allowing for the maximum effectiveness in striking, throwing, and locking arts. Distinctively Buddhist in its concepts, today's practitioners have found that Kosho Ryu Kempo Karate is more than a martial art: it encompasses all aspects of life using the precepts of compassion, tolerance, balance, and power.
