  Greetings from Texas!
  
  Just curious as I remember reading some time ago there was discussion about a book/manual covering the basics of Kuntao Silat being worked on. Is there any idea when that will be released?
  
  Thanks!

  I hope to get the first of the training manuals out by end of March 2017. Then we will work through each level.
  
  These will only be available to those in the program, who are following the teacher track. Some of the content will be shared on this site to provide examples of the content.
  
  Our hope is to have all five levels finished by early 2018.
  
  Please note, these do not replace in-person training, but they will provide a host of step-by-step details that can be difficult to understand from watching video.
  
  Stay tuned!

It’s All in the Elbow
Southeast Asian Martial arts generally, and KunTao Silat specifically, are famous for effective use of the elbows as offensive and defensive weapons. But aside from these more obvious applications of the elbow in striking, blocking, and deflecting techniques lies a deeper principle: the elbow is one of the keys to martial arts. The elbow is the next major joint down from the shoulder, which itself connects directly to the spine via the trapezius and rhomboid muscles. Thus, movement of the elbow invariably involves the shoulder and thus the spine. This means that a proper unification of the elbow to the spine and legs via stances creates more powerful and efficient movements. It also means that if you can control the movement of an enemy’s elbow, you can effectively change the alignment of his spine, disrupting balance and all of his kinetic chains. Take a second look at all of the Djurus and you’ll start to notice a lot of emphasis on the position and alignment of the elbows in each posture and transition. Study this deeply in Sticky Hands and Free Play Sparring. Have fun! Dr. Jon
