Demonstrated by 56 year old defense specialist J.Thorval Ellis two kinds of kata motion are shown here. Traditional and Garage style method. 

Ellis:  "Garage style only means I took what I have learned and developed a method that works for myself, as to turn martial arts into a life time of study for myself."

"Better not to become a carbon copy of another persons creation. Create for yourself.....Putting your own name to it."

As J. Thorval Ellis has been a Physical Kinematic Practitioner for all of his martial art carrier and is an important part of his 4th degree earned within a 10 year period.

Although a non-secular degree, he studied MA as a science eventually writing a book called Haunchido A Theory of Motion & Method, exploring the four components of body physics compiled within his journal over four decades.

Today as a 7th degree his interest is to improve body mechanics with hope to preventing injury among other martial artists developing better motion, fluidity, quickness and prevent self inflicted injury as we enter the aging process of 50 and above. 

Martial Motion & Effortless Strength (Haunchido) is one of his videos that shows him kicking like a 20 year old at the age of 56. Showing the exercises he performs to keep his hips in shape.

Many self inflicted injuries are not recognized until years later, Mr. Ellis with good intention wants to help people prevent what may cause problems to our bodies when we age like our hips by the use of "flexed motion".

Ellis believes our hips are more important than our stomach muscle.  For it is a fact that the elderly fall due to weak hips and a lack of sturdy ground maneuverability not a lack of weak or good looking stomach muscle.  

Ellis: "The way we look is less important than practicing motion."

Only certain proper body motion, balance and breathing create longevity as we age preventing early serious breakdown to our bodies. 

Ellis puts it:  "We have to go with the flow along with our physical changes we can't escape the aging process; we can age gracefully, we have to train knowing this undeniable truth from young to old."

J. Thorval Ellis is Haunchido, it is his personal signet for his accomplishments.
