"The studio, a room to which the artist consigns himself for life, is naturally important, not only as workplace, but as a source of inspiration. And it usually manages, one way or another, to turn up in his product".

Student Code of Honor
"I vow to never use my Martial Arts training for any purpose that would convey a negative image of myself or my Family. My training is to improve me both mentally and physically, so that I am able to help others do the same, in and out of my Dojo."

FOLLOW THE WAY

DOJO ETIQUETTE
Be prompt. Arrive before class begins. If you come in late, get dressed out and be seated by the door way... wait for permission to join the class.
 Always bow when entering or leaving the dojo. Direct your bow first to the Flag then to the senior person present and acknowledge his or her presence with the greeting Osu (pronounced "Ooss"). This gesture shows respect both toward fellow practitioners and the art.
 
Junior students are expected to look to seniors for guidance, imitate their behavior, and treat them with respect and consideration. Sit and stand when your seniors do; always sit to the left of seniors. Senior students are expected to set a good example for juniors, protect them from injury, help them learn, and treat them with respect and consideration. REMEMBER We were all white belts once.
 
Always Behave appropriately in the dojo ("place of the Way"). Remove your shoes before entering. Speak quietly and maintain an attitude appropriate for serious practice. Food, drink, and gum are not permitted in this Dojo.
 Never teach new techniques or kata to other students unless asked to do so by your Sensei. Never throw or drop your Obi (belt) on the ground, and never wash it. Your Obi is a symbol of your spirit.
Never lose your temper in practice. Train with intensity but NEVER with anger or hostility. There is no place for ego in this Dojo. Pay attention; This is part of your training. Concentrate on your art while you are in this Dojo. Practice your Ping-te and Kata consistently outside of class, even if for just for a few minutes here and there. This is the only way to improve your skill and physical condition.
 
Ranks are valid only as indications of one's current skill level, maintained through active training. If you are no longer training, you are not considered to hold any rank in this dojo. We may reduce or advance your rank as he sees fit. Promotion or reduction of rank is a teaching tool, providing an objective evaluation of your progress.
However preoccupation with rank shows a lack of understanding of the arts.

Giving back to the Arts is a must, ask Sensei what you may do to make this Dojo a better place For ALL who train here.

Thanks;  kp  sensei

Peaceful Spirit Way!
Peaceful Spirit Way!

The Philosophy of Ping Shen Tao

By Kevin Pence Sr. Sensei

For a person to be complete and happy with oneself, they must find a balance. If the body is in good health, then the mind may function skillfully. For all to work together mind and body, we must employ our spirit. Do not criticize, be patient, be kind and understanding to others. Never too much, never too little, only what is necessary. At their most basic level, the martial arts are nothing more than ways to prevent someone from harming you. At their highest level, the arts are paths to self-knowledge, brotherhood and the beauty of life.

The martial artist must be both artist and scientist. We must learn the traditions, techniques, principles, and theories upon which martial artistry is based. We must then practice them with passion so as to properly learn and understand what it is we are doing. Only then can we master ourselves, our life’s, and the Arts.

P S T is both an external and an internal style that incorporates both linear and circular techniques. In addition, much emphasis is placed on learning to more zone on your opponent and learning to flow with whatever your opponent comes at you with. Stopping with one counter hit is not likely; students must learn to flow until the situation is no longer a threatened one. When this is done; we have Ping Shen Tao.

The martial arts are both art and science. It can be said that; Art is a passion pursued with discipline; science is a discipline pursued with passion. Over my lifetime, I have created a highly successful teaching technique that incorporates character building philosophies with traditional martial arts training methods. With younger students, the art focus on helping them to understand and use the martial arts in order to develop discipline, self control, and respect. It also helps them to establish healthy life style habits at an early age.

With older students, we enjoy sharing the secrets and intricacies of a modern martial way. Our unique style of traditional martial arts training and modern workouts, plus stress reducing Chi Kung sets, allow individuals to gain the physical benefits, and confidence that can only be achieved through effective self defense training. Basic meditation is part of the curriculum. Students are instructed in the ethics of the martial way, including loyalty to nation and family, truthfulness, keeping one's word, and the necessity to "justify your means" when using force.

In a Sparring competition or a street fight, the basic strategy is the same to submit your opponent as quickly as possible while absorbing the least amount of punishment possible. PST teaches one to control an opponent, concentrating on balance, leverage, and technique to control one's opponent and ultimately end all conflict.

A fight should Never last for more than a few seconds. Learning to control an attacker is the key to ending a fight quickly. If you can't control a man, you can't submit him. And if you are finding yourself fighting, you are probably not controlling your opponent properly. There are many set techniques but, there is much emphasize put on improvised problem solving. Sparring emphasizes blocking and attacking at the same time along a centerline strike points. When we must use our art to defend, we "use the whole body as a weapon". This is not for everybody, it is sometime very brutal but, there is no question that it is effective.

Stated in the simplest of terms, Ping teaches you how to effectively and efficiently control and defeat your opponent. As the name suggests Ping Shen Tao (Peaceful Spirit Way), peace come first. Thus, a Ping practitioner must first learn to avoid problem situations, as much as learn takedowns, controls, and positioning. To "Use Your Whole Body as a Weapon", you must first learn control of yourself. Endurance and conditioning training is rooted in the basics of takedowns, footwork defenses, and joint control. These are the first concepts drilled.

Ping's goal is to cover all facets of fighting, ranging from striking, grappling, weapons and incorporating all the different martial systems so that any given art may be countered. The main distinction between most martial artist and the skilled in the Ping way, is that there are no illegal holds. There is so much more to art than strikes, arm bars and chokes in real combat. We as martial artist should understand the science of body manipulation. Ankle locks, knee locks, hip cranks, forearm locks, wrist traps, and neck cranks are all incorporated into the training. It doesn't matter if you are on top, bottom, sideways, or on your feet. Once you understand the physiology behind any Art, you can apply it from any position, in a most crippling manner.

In its ultimate form, PST is as much a psychological battle as it is a physical one. You train to bait your opponent and continuously control him. You train to trap your opponent from any position. You train to maintain control by flowing into what they themselves are pulling or pushing themselves into from beginning to end.

We as martial artist should always be on the look out for what works and what does not, this is the only true way of the arts. This is why I have gone on to explore such arts as Kali, Goju Ryu, Kobudo, Ju Jitsu, Silat and Shotokan to bring back what really works. "Ping Shen Tao is not better than any other Art, it’s just the best of many Arts combined."

"You may never know what results come from your action. But if you do nothing, there will be no result."
– Mahatma Gandhi

Mohandas Gandhi, known by the honorific title Mahatma ("great souled"), embodied the power of nonviolent protest to achieve great change. He was born in India in 1896 and awoke to discrimination while practicing law in South Africa . He brought the struggle for equality back to India , rousing the population to demand self-rule from the British. He was profoundly religious, spending one day a week in complete silence; he was also a devout vegetarian. He was assassinated in 1948.

My Family's Martial Crest  (EXPLAINED)

  • The two hands we sometimes call "peace over power" , (the closed fist for the power, and the open to symbolize peace.)
  • The open top hand over the fist is for the peaceful side of the art. We show the hand wraped down to show respect for those who have trained before us and for the restraint we take in using the art.
  • The closed fist is to symbolize the power of the arts, and the hidden secrets within all styles of combat. 
  • The three triangles are for the unity of mind, body, and sprit.
  • The tigers open mouth is to symbolize the passing on of the arts and the true history of our's.
  • The Ying and Yang is symbolic of the cycle of life, as well as  the soft and hard in the arts.
  • The positive side of the ying and yang symbol is thought of as the rising sun and is a reminder that everyday is a gift; use it to live well and to help others.
  • The negitive side of the yin and yang symbol is thought of as the past, it is where our arts have came from and is a reminder not to forget our history and lineage.

 

"Success is to be measured not so much by the position that was reached in life as by the obstacles which one has overcome while trying to succeed".

"Now and again, it is necessary to seclude yourself among deep mountains and hidden valleys to restore your link to the source of life."

Morihei Ueshiba

  Rank Work Sheets                

This booklet is and over view of ranking requirements in my family art "Ping Shen Tao". It is given to you only through trust that you will never use it to hurt an innocent being. I will try to teach you as long as you stick to this rule.

"Ping Shen Tao" defines the mass of education that I have put to system. It is the total sum of Martial Arts taught at the Pence Self-Defense Institute Founded in Burlington MA. " To set the record straight, I have NOT invented a new style". On the contrary I hope to free our students from "the mold" and let them see the best of each of the arts l have had the chance to study." I expect the art will keep growing as long as my students and I do.

The purpose of this organization is to provide curriculum and testing standards. In the curriculum I have brought back some of the original Okinawain Kobudo sets including Tonfa, Sai, Kama, Bo, Jo, and Katana. The Kali has added much in the ability to defend against knife attackers as well as teaching to control the knife as a weapon in our hands. I have added a set of techniques and kata to the Kempo material, designed to give the student the ability to jump from just doing techniques to applying concepts ,this is most important. I have systematized all of the schools requirements for all ranks and will adhere to these standards in all promotions.

All past ranking requirements must also have improved in timing, power, speed, and focus to be tested for the next rank.

The following text may read as such, just text, but know that the information that unfolds through this training can save your life or the life of another. Never forget man can fail many times, but he isn't a failure until he begins to blame somebody else.

"PING SHEN TAO" = "PEACEFUL SPIRIT WAY"

Practice much and live well.

Yours in the Arts, Kevin Pence Sr. Sensei

"It's not who's right, but who's left." -- E.K.P.

Nesta & K.P.

Henka & Tekiyo process

"It 's about the Felling"

We should all be cautious when entering into Kata training that you guard against becoming a "pack mule" or collector of techniques. As you study Kata you must also study Henka (variations) and then Tekiyo (practical applications) . We do this Henka & Tekiyo process of training to discover the feeling of our bodies motion, not just to memorize set forms and movements.

You must grow to understand that the feelings inside the techniques are more important then the techniques alone. All of us are different in size, weight, height, age , flexibility but, we all are so much the same in that our blood flow, breath, and basic structure is human.

The empty memorizing of forms is lifeless and leads you away from the spirit of our Art. Don't fall into this trap it has sized to many good martial artist already.

MAKE A LIST AND CHECK IT TWICE

 

(Pinan 1-5):
Peaceful Mind Kata.

It is said once one has mastered the 5 Pinan Kata they could walk the street with a peaceful mind, as they contained all self defense. These kata were developed by Itosu Sensei to make learning the long and difficult kata known as Kanku-dai, and Kosokun-dai) easier to learn and parts of this intricate kata are broken down into 5 parts of varying difficulty.

"There is a difference between having a black belt and being the rank". 
Thanks Matt .... Ouss.

To know that you do not know, that is the best.
To pretend to know, when you do not know, is a disease.
Lao Tzu

AVOID RATHER THAN CHECK.

MIND, BODY, & SPIRIT

Your training in Ping Shen Tao can function as a road to your own self-knowledge, providing you choose to use it so. When you train you have a choice. You can train your body, or you can train your mind and your body. In the first case you'll obtain benefit by becoming healthier. But by approaching your training with focus on your mind and body, by constantly questioning and challenging, the different aspects of yourself, that's how you can acquire self-knowledge. And by doing so, your training in Ping can help you along the road to success of the most meaningful kind.

FOLLOW THE WAY

THE SEED

In the
Far East the emperor was growing old and knew it was time to choose
his successor. Instead of choosing one of his assistants or his children, he
decided to do something different. He called young people in the kingdom
together one day. He said, "It is time for me to step down and choose the
next emperor. I have decided to choose one of you."

The children were shocked, but the emperor continued. "I am going to give
each one of you a seed today - one very special seed. I want you to plant
the seed, water it, and come back here one year from today with what you
have grown from this one seed. I will then judge the plants that you bring,
and the one I choose will be the next emperor."

One boy, named Ling, was there that day and he, like the others, received a
seed. He went home and excitedly, told his mother the story. She helped him
get a pot and planting soil, and he planted the seed and watered it,
carefully. Everyday, he would water it and watch to see if it had grown..
After about three weeks, some of the other youths began to talk about their
seeds and the plants that were beginning to grow. Ling kept checking his
seed, but nothing ever grew. Three weeks, four weeks, five weeks went by,
still nothing. By now, others were talking about their plants, but Ling
didn't have a plant and he felt like a failure. Six months went by -- still
nothing in Ling's pot.

He just knew he had killed his seed. Everyone else had trees and tall
plants, but he had nothing. Ling didn't say anything to his friends,
however. He just kept waiting for his seed to grow. A year finally went by
and all the youths of the kingdom brought their plants to the emperor for
inspection. Ling told his mother that he wasn't going to take an empty pot.
But his mother asked him to be honest about what happened.

Ling felt sick at his stomach, but he knew his mother was right. He took his
empty pot to the palace. When Ling arrived, he was amazed at the variety of
plants grown by the other youths. They were beautiful -- in all shapes and
sizes. Ling put his empty pot on the floor and many of the other children
laughed at him. A few felt sorry for him and just said, "Hey, nice try."

When the emperor arrived, he surveyed the room and greeted the young people.
Ling just tried to hide in the back. "My, what great plants, trees, and
flowers you have grown," said the emperor. "Today one of you will be
appointed the next emperor!"

All of a sudden, the emperor spotted Ling at the back of the room with his
empty pot. He ordered his guards to bring him to the front. Ling was
terrified. He thought, "The emperor knows I'm a failure! Maybe he will have
me killed!"

When Ling got to the front, the Emperor asked his name. "My name is Ling,"
he replied. All the kids were laughing and making fun of him. The emperor
asked everyone to quiet down. He looked at Ling, and then announced to the
crowd, "Behold your new emperor! His name is Ling!"

Ling couldn't believe it. Ling couldn't even grow his seed. How could he be
the new emperor?

Then the emperor said, "One year ago today, I gave everyone here a seed. I
told you to take the seed, plant it, water it, and bring it back to me
today. But I gave you all boiled seeds that would not grow. All of you,
except Ling, have brought me trees and plants and flowers. When you found
that the seed would not grow, you substituted another seed for the one I
gave you. Ling was the only one with the courage and honesty to bring me a
pot with my seed in it. Therefore, he Is the one who will be the new
emperor!"

If you plant honesty, you will reap trust. If you plant goodness, you will
reap friends. If you plant humility, you will reap greatness. If you plant
perseverance, you will reap victory. If you plant consideration, you will
reap harmony. If you plant hard work, you will reap success. If you plant
forgiveness, you will reap reconciliation. If you plant faith, you will reap
miracles. So be careful what you plant, now; it will determine what you will
reap tomorrow. The seeds you now scatter will make life worse or better for
you or for the ones who will come after you. Someday you will enjoy the
fruits or you will pay for the choices you make.

Two thousand years ago someone else told the same story with fewer words,
"What you sow, so shall you reap". If you know who said this, nothing else
needs to be said.

Kali Drills....in to you!

In most systems, skills with weapons and with empty hands (unarmed) are developed concurrently using training methods designed to emphasize their common elements. The most common variations used are double stick (double baston), single stick (solo baston),  and sword/stick and knife (espada y daga). In starting with double sticks I feel it gets the student into the art deeper and faster . Some of the basic drills are as follows.

Drills for double baston

Sinawali 6 - 6 - 6

1st 6 ^ High High High {right then left}

2nd 6 ^ High - Low {right then left then right again}

3rd 6 ^ Low Low Low {right then left}

The short History of Kali

As with most martial arts, the history of Kali is surrounded by legends, making it is difficult to pin down facts. This is especially true for Kali's since a significant amount of its history is anecdotal and oral. Being a martial art for the common folk, most of its practitioners lacked the scholarly education to create a written history.. The most commonly accepted explanation for the origin of Kali systems is that they were originally the fighting systems possessed by every tribe in the Philippines and used by them to fight and defend against each other.

It is historically recorded, though, that when the Spanish conquistadors arrived, some tribes fought them, using native weapons and techniques. Magellan, in particular, was killed in the battle of Mactan in 1521 by forces of the Mactan tribal chief Lapu-Lapu when Magellan landed in Cebu - albeit by an arrow, not the sword or stick as many arnisadors promote. From this point sources differ on the history of Eskrima. Certainly by the time the Spanish reached the Philippines, they were extremely experienced conquerors, and had their own highly effective fighting systems, along with higher-quality steel and weapons. The degree to which this affected the practice of the native fighting arts is a matter of debate, but it seems likely that the Filipinos borrowed what worked and discarded what didn't.  there is little doubt that Spanish fencing did influence the development of escrima as a martial system.

The founders of most of the currently popular systems were famous duelists; legends circulate about how many people "master whats his name" has killed. Certainly duels did happen and deaths did result. However, to reduce legal problems that arose from injury or death, most duels would later often be fought with hardwood sticks instead of blades. Public dueling has almost all been eliminated from the Filipino society . Although, with dilligence one can still find regular gathering of masters in parks in the Philippines where at a drop of a hat one will not hesitate to prove their point through an unprotected "friendly match". Local folk in the Philippines are much more likely to carry knives than guns, and much more likely to use them when tempers rise. As a result, knife-fighting is still very much a living skill in the Philippines.

Many believe these fighting systems have strong historical roots from Indonesian martial arts that are Chinese influenced like Kun Tao. Kun Tao (literally the way of the fist) of course finds its roots from Ch'uan Fa (which is a generic word for what we would call kung fu. Other systems that have similar movements to many Filipino systems also find their roots from Ch'uan Fa. Although the turbulent and conflict wrought history and environment of the Philippines enabled the arts to develop.

This changed recently in the sense that some systematization allowed easier and quicker teaching for the basics. Regardless of teaching methodology, these arts are considered so effective and easy to learn with sufficient practice that the U.S. military teaches it to some varying degree in all of its branches, particularly U.S. groups like the Navy SEALs, Army Special Forces and Delta Force. Many special operations groups were stationed in the Philippines for some period of time during WWII - the period when these arts first became apparent to the mainstream.

SOME OTHER KARATE FORMS

Bassai-dai Bassai-dai is probably the most popular kata among various branches of karate. It is often used as the main test kata for Shodan (1st degree black belt). Master Sakagami of the Itosukai cites 5 different varieties in his book: "Itosu, Matsumura, Tomari, Oyadomari, and Ishimine". It is a difficult kata requiring many, many long hours of practice.

Bassai-sho This is a unique kata in that it depicts defense against a staff (bo). It also contains a difficult turn on one leg that makes it a difficult kata to master

Chinte Classified by Master Sakagami as being in the same series as Chinto, which stemmed from the Shuri region.This kata contains a two finger strike to the eyes.

Chinto The Itosukai version was developed by Master Itosu from the Tomari style's version. Many open-hand strikes and blocks and a double-flying kick.

Gojushiho This kata was popular among the warriors in the Shuri Reigion. It was a favorite of Master Mabuni.

Ishimine Bassai This kata is very similar to the Itosu Bassai-dai, and some believe that Master Ishimine based it on the Itosu Bassai-dai.

Jitte, Jiin, Jion Three kata from the Tomari region of Okinawa. All three begin with the left hand poised over the right fist at Adam's apple level, reminiscent of Chinese kempo. heavy use is made of the shiko-dachi stance, making these good  for developing balance.

Kanku-dai ( Kusanku-dai, Kosokun-dai ). According to Master Sakagami, who references the writings of Master Ohshima, this kata was brought to Okinawa by a military officer in 1762. It was popular in the Shuri region of Okinawa and Master Sakagami cites a number of variations in his book on kata.

Kusanku-sho (Kosokun-sho) This version was developed by Master Itosu

Matsumura Bassai Master Sakagami wrote that this kata was passed on 

Matsumora Rohai Another kata of the Matsumora style from the Tomari region. The one-legged stance used in this kata makes it one of the more graceful katas.

Naifanchin (Naihanshin) Shodan, Naifanchin Nidan, Naifanchin Sandan (Naifanshin 1-3) Three very fast, powerful kata in which the movement is all in a sideways direction.

Pinan shodan, Pinan nidan, Pinan sandan, Pinan yondan, Pinan godan (Pinan 1-5). These kata were developed by Master Itosu to make learning the long and difficult kata known as Kusanku-dai (also known as Kanku-dai, and Kosokun-dai) easier to learn and parts of this intricate kata are broken down into 5 parts of varying difficulty.

Rohai Shodan, Rohai Nidan, Rohai Sandan Three graceful kata in which the Sagiashidachi stance (heron stance) where balance is taken on one leg is used (Rohai-shodan), both hands are used to simulateously strike (Rohai- nidan. All three feature the shiko-dachi stance coupled with the open-handed kakiwake uke towards the end of the kata.

Saifa A kata which has its roots in the kata, Gekisai. It contains many techniques for fighting at close range.

Sanchin A basic kata of the Higashionna style, this kata's regulated breathing and concentration make it an indispensible kata for learning the basics of breathing, movement, and focus.

Seienchin A kata from the Higashionna style. It begins with the shiko stance and slow, regulated breathing.

Seipai Master Sakagami attributes the roots of this kata to the 18 basics of the Southern style of Shorinken.

Twelve Rules for Raising BAD Children

 Begin in infancy to give the child everything he wants. In this way, he will grow to believe the world owes him a living.

When he picks up bad words, laugh at him. This will make him think hes cute. It will also encourage him to pick up "cuter" phrases that will blow off the top of your head later.

Never give him any spiritual training. Wait until he is 21, and then let him "decide for himself."

Avoid the use of the word "wrong." It may develop a guilt complex. This will condition him to believe, later, when he is arrested for car theft, that society is against him and he is being persecuted.

Pick up everything he leaves lying around- books, shoes, and clothing. That way he will learn to throw all responsibility on others.

Let him read any printed matter he can get his hands on. Be careful that the drinking glasses and silverware are sterilized, but let his mind feast on garbage.

Quarrel frequently in the presence of your child. In this way, he will not be too shocked when the home is broken up later.

Give him all the spending money he wants. Never let him earn his own. Why should he have things as tough as you had them?

Satisfy his every craving for food, drink and comfort. Denial may lead to harmful frustration.

Take his side against neighbors, teachers and policemen. They are all prejudiced against your child.

When he gets into real trouble, apologize for yourself by saying, "I never could do anything with him."

Prepare for a life of grief. You will be apt to have it.

 

 

 

A man is born gentle and weak.
At his death he is hard and stiff.
Green plants are tender and filled with sap.
At their death they are withered and dry.
Therefore, the stiff and unbending is the principle of death.
The gentle and yielding is the principle of life.
Thus, an army without flexibility rarely wins a battle.
A tree that is unbendable is easily broken.
