"Ultimate Kempo" (also known as kenpo) is more than a book about technique and
style; it's a study of movement, motion and balance that can enhance anyone's
study of the martial arts. Its primary focus is not to inflict harm, but to
avoid conflict through an understanding of Kosho Ryu's unique mental discipline
and philosophy. If physical confrontation is unavoidable, then practitioners of
kempo will learn to manipulate the balance and the structure of an opponent for
optimal results. With hundreds of photographs and the provided DVD, "Ultimate
Kempo" gives systematic guidance for maximum effectiveness in the striking,
throwing and locking arts.
