Fun Friday – Master Ken’s “Thrust of Freedom” Kata!

The modern street-lethal combat art of Ameri-Do-Te, founded and created by history’s most formidable martial artist Master Ken, contains a plethora of powerful and exceptionally deadly fighting techniques for which there are no known defenses or counter-attacks – The Kill Face, The Hurticane, and, of course, the Thrust of Freedom. To the untrained eye, each of these is an unorthodox and seemingly laughable approach to combat, but anyone who has been on the receiving end of them and Master Ken’s Ameri-Do-Te disciples both know their true power, and are more than prepared to demonstrate their effectiveness on any skeptics!

And, like all things in the Ameri-Do-Te arsenal, the techniques and applications found within the Thrust of Freedom can clearly be seen in Ameri-Do-Te kata training. And the Thrust of Freedom kata is truly unlike all other martial arts forms, and even other Ameri-Do-Te katas. By mastering the Thrust of Freedom kata, Ameri-Do-Te students learn the true deceptive power of the Thrust of Freedom, and the very essence of the unchallengeable supremacy of Ameri-Do-Te!
