NEW KENPO BOOK...GRAFTING: Bridges Within Kenpo
GRAFTING: Bridges Within American Kenpo
Don't miss out on this exciting NEW BOOK on American Kenpo. Learn how to apply Kenpo Concepts and Principles to your grafting, using an innovative, new Grafting Matrix.
The Art and Science of American Kenpo
American Kenpo is a logic based art that anyone can learn to do effectively.
The art progressively builds on previously learned information. For most students, until at least advanced stages, Kenpo is a martial art based on patterned responses.
The part of the art where practitioners blend different responses together is called Grafting (or Blending).
Most kenpoists just stick techniques together, using no rhyme or reason. Others can graft, but have trouble explaining what they are subconsciously doing.
This book helps students and instructors more clearly identify the blueprint of the how, when, and why of each grafting combination they explore.
"GRAFTING: Bridges within American Kenpo" explains the mental processes involved in order to arrive at an appropriate response, based on the knowledge of almost any student.
New Addition to your Kenpo Library
The exploration of the subject of grafting within Kenpo is a fascinating area of study.
"GRAFTING: Bridges within American Kenpo" is intended to give the serious student another tool in order to master the art of Kenpo.
This book is designed as part reference, part workbook, and part class exercise manual, which collectively will be a great addition to any Kenpo library.
This book lays the groundwork for analyzing grafts in Kenpo that we will build upon in this series.
This workbook will take the reader on a treasure hunt that will help him uncover the often untapped POWER of GRAFTING!
The foreword to the book has been written by Grandmaster Larry Tatum, 10th Degree Black Belt of Mr. Ed Parker and founder of the LTKKA.
Grafting Matrix is an effective tool to "Training with Purpose"
The mental process of grafting or blending techniques together takes work, discipline, and patience to do effectively.
This book takes grafting "just because I can" and turns it into exercises designed to develop fast, effective responses based on a "training with purpose" attitude.
This gives meaning and reason to cross from one technique to another.
The process of understanding "Triggers," "Filters," and "Bridges" as they relate to this innovative Grafting Matrix will apply certain concepts, principles, and theories to make them KEYS to your grafting training.
This material will bring more logic and intensity to how you apply the art of American Kenpo.
