Very few tapes, out of the hundreds I ve watched, have done that. Well I am very glad you felt that way. That was one of primary goals with The Complete Fighter Series , my seminars and at my studio. I use the wazas and requirements of the Progressive Kenpo-Jitsu system as a base and a foundation. But I want to promote individual thought and creativity.
Martial arts is an art form.
Art is the self expression of the artist. The artist needs a base regardless if it they are a painter, a musician or a martial artist in this case. But after they have acquired the fundamentals and comprehension of their skills, it is their direction and self expression that makes them grow, their art grow and the growth of others that have the opportunity to be influenced by their art. I think too often that it is lost in the vision of martial arts, the fact that it is an art form and means of self expression. It is my personal opinion that we can all learn and grow if we would just share .
