Fun Friday – Master Ken teaches the “Thrust of Freedom”!

There is no simpler way to put it – in martial arts, your body becomes its own weapon. Through arduous training and dedication, we learn to hard-wire ourselves into becoming capable of inflicting tremendous pain, injury, or even death upon the opponent. By focusing on aligning the wrist with the knuckles, we can learn to deliver a far more powerful and devastating punch than we ever would have been capable of otherwise. The same goes for all other techniques, whether it’s kicks, grappling techniques, pressure point strikes, or anything else – the essence of the physical side of martial arts is transforming the body into a weapon.

Unfortunately, far too many martial arts focus almost exclusively upon techniques involving the opposable limbs, with head butting being the only notable exception. Not so for Master Ken! The founder of the undisputed most invincible combat art of all time, Ameri-D0-Te, Master Ken has long believed that the pelvis is one of the most powerful natural weapons any human being has. As such, Ameri-Do-Te incorporates his patented “Thrust of Freedom” technique in order for Master Ken’s many Ameri-Do-Te apprentices to able to use their pelvis to its fullest potential in combat. All who would mock this revolutionary approach do so at their own risk!
