Weapons
In Ken Zen Ichii we focus on the complete integration of weapons. Weapons are adapted and incorporated into the motions of the Ken Zen Ichii karate system and combined with other techniques (e.g. kicks, throws, etc).When dealing with weapons there are two primary concepts which must be understood:
- The two illusions created by the mental and visual perceptions of the untrained eye:
- Invincibility, which fosters fear
- Range of motion, which affects tactical responses.
- The difference between perceived motion and actual motion; The understanding of which enhances your understanding of distance and timing. Overr time this helps to develop the calm mind and spirit needed to deal with a dangerous situation.
