Many of you have asked about the rarely revealed PKC system of practical defense taught to the police. This is an adaptation of the Nine Dragon methods that are applicable to the specific situations the police can encounter.
We want to share a bit of what this system contains, but obviously cannot reveal certain information due to police safety reasons. But here is a method of escaping from an arm bar that anyone can use once they have learned and practiced the principles.
Shifu Painter demonstrates some application ideas with the Heaven Palm.
Ever wonder about the ways you can use that Jiulong Ba Step? Well wonder no more. Here is a video from Shizi Orchard showing us that invaluable sequence of solo practice to practical applications. If you want to discuss what you see here, head on over the to Jiulong discussion group.

In this 4 minute video, Shizi Orchard shows us a particular movement being practiced on his own, and then some uses of it in combat. He is offering several variations of the same movement and it should give you a sense of how adaptable it is.
No situation is predictable so one needs to be able to change as needed. So watch closely to see the various angles he uses with the same basic posture. You will see him move up, down, inside, outside (the attacker’s punch), etc. In fact, no two responses are exactly the same since no two attacks are exactly the same.
Here’s a little gem that will stimulate your imagination. If you have been to the Gompa, this six minute audio will take you back to those moments of seeing it for the first time. If you have not been there, feel free to create a mental picture of it and imagine what it might be like to enter its world. Enjoy!
All instructors and students should attend this annual event Albany New York - June 2012 - Monday
