The 11 hands of Buddha is a less frequently seen blocking system in Shaolin Kempo. It includes the cutting, pulling and redirecting blocks often seen in the more advanced combinations.

If you enjoy it, perhaps like and subscribe their channel. The first 12 videos in the list pertain to the system. I think the last three are put there inadvertently as they are completely unrelated. Here’s an example of him explaining the cutting aspect:

Fred Villari was a fan of boxing and offers some ideas regarding the intersection of boxing and Kempo. The Villari Videos channel has curated some really interesting material. The video must be watched on Youtube – embedding is disabled.
