In this video, Jim Brassard demonstrates a little ‘small joint manipulation’ that I picked up from Professor Kimo. Applying a thumb compression can really get someone’s attention. It’s a nice touch to add into any situation where someone grabs your lapel or some similar clothing grab.

Nice grab technique detail.
Sorry about the outage.
If you had trouble getting to the site over the last day or two, I apologize. According to my hosting company, the server was overheating and they had to shut it down until they could find the problem. Seems like all is OK now.

Just in case you missed it…What is Self Defense
Just in case you missed it, the implication is that yes, there is now a full copy of What is Self Defense (the 1953 version, not the 1981 version that bears this cover) available here at the site. Thankfully, it appears to have fallen into the public domain.
I’m actually not the hugest fan ever of this book, and upon close inspection it’s plagiarized, filled with bad body mechanics, and overly revered, but I do think it is required reading for kenpo / kempo students. The point is that it is the only real view we have into the curriculum of James Mitose. Read and enjoy!
