Along with the FLOW mentioned above between Weapon to Unarmed and between the Ranges, we will look more at Concept and Principles, abbreviated to CP, this year
The JJ 32 CP were posted Summer 2022
We have added the full list of 21 Kenpo CP this year
KENPO 21 Basic Concepts and Principle of Technique
This is the first time we have published these as a complete list with basic explanation - when they are demoed and taught in Class there is far more explanation that needs to be seen, felt, and then practiced
Each of these CP are used with a technique you know well eg Delayed Sword - when practicing Delayed Sword as a drill you already know the block, kick, strike sequence, you know the variations
- you then work the technique focusing on each CP, Speed, Power, Accuracy, etc
This is then done through all the KH eg Alternating Maces, Sword Of Destruction, all the MK eg Five Swords, Thundering Hammers, eventually on through the 156 then the 240
You can practice all the CP for individual blocks and strikes
They also apply when using the Sticks and Knives
With the JJ Principles we have added a post for each one and a more detailed explanation - this is not new information, just more detailed, and as you read through them you will recognise some of the explanations, and even remember me saying them in Class
The purpose of a dedicated post for each Principle is to allow for further notes to be added at a later date, to expand the details and explanations
As can be seen on the thread, we first posted the Concepts list in 2021, then the full 32 Principle list at the start of 2022, then added the explanations in the Summer after we had referred to them in Class in some detail
Now, at the start of 2024, two years later, we add more details as we go into a new Season on the Mat
And these Principles are then the higher level of the STMA JuJutsu, which we first posted ten years ago in February 2014:
