The Master’s Manual (Chuan Fa Kenpo Close Combat Maneuvers) eBook

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 methods function at all angles and primary distances; however due to its striking methodology, maximum power is reached through short-range attacks.

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.
