CONTACT MANIPULATION - is the fourth stage of the FOUR STAGES OF
RANGE. It entails the orchestration of control, once contact is made,
to contour, leverage, twist, sprain, lock, choke, restrain, dislocate,
break, fracture, strikedown, takedown (groundwork), etc. Such moves
help to increase the effectiveness of your action on an opponent who my
be standing with you, on the ground with you, or in any other
combination of positions and postures you may both be in. These same
techniques, postures, or positions could be used to cause greater
damage or injury to you as well. Therefore, make every effort to be the
victor. ”To be looked over and added to THE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF KENPO.
CONTOUR
JAMMING - Methods of contouring the body to prevent retaliatory action
from occurring. For example your hands or the surface of your limbs can
be used to contour large surface areas of your opponent's body. While
traveling from one point to another, contact is kept constant to
disallow your opponent from taking action. With his limbs and body
continually kept in check, it is difficult for your opponent to strike
back.
COVER versus CONCEALMENT - DIFFERENCE OF
CUTTING
THE CIRCLE - Refers to a specific method of executing a club strike
(or natural weapon). It involves, (1) following a circular path then,
(2) while halfway through, having your club follow a linear path as you
proceed to strike your target. Applying this method not only enhances
economy of motion, but greatly adds to the speed and force of your
action.
DIAGONAL LEVERAGING - Refers to specific methods
using a club on another club, or a club on an opponent's body to
fulcrum your action thus giving it greater leverage when it is executed
diagonally.
DIRECTIONAL GRAFTING - The combined use of segments from various techniques which when linked all follow the same direction.
DIRECTIONAL
HARMONY VIA PATH OF MOTION - The principle that directional harmony
œnot only follows a line of action, but a path of action as well.
DISHARMONY
OF DIRECTION - The concept that splitting your action into several
directions diminishes œyour force when you are striking. See
DISHARMONY OF FORCE.
DISLOCATE - The disengaging and separating of joints.
DISTANCE OF TRAVEL - Moves which maintain the proper depth in securing maximum force and results.
EDUCATIONAL PROTECTION -
EVALUATION
SESSIONS - Class sessions that allow students the opportunity to critic
other class members as they take turns doing the moves or techniques.
FEED
THE CIRCLE - This principle involves going into a circular path of a
roundhouse punch, a roundhouse club attack, etc. where for the moment,
there is calm - a void of action.
FRAMING - (To be added to.) Like ANGLE MATCHING, but associated with defense in self-defense techniques.
GAUGING
ANGLE - the calculation of postural positioning of limbs and body to
obtain ideal and effective distances whether defending or attacking.
See UP THE CIRCLE.
GRAVITATIONAL REBOUND - The simultaneous use
of gravity to enhance œor boost your strike traveling in the opposite
direction.
GUIDELINING verses TRACKING - GUIDELINING follows a path of action, where TRACKING follows a line of action.
