Shaolin American Kempo Karate

Tired of being a "Martial Arts Tourist"?

Are you still going through the motions? Do you spend your time practicing ancient forms that are as useful in a real fight as a pocket square? 

Do you train for months, even years, and still feel like something is missing—that your techniques are slow, predictable, and frankly, a bit useless when it chips down to it?

If you answered yes, you’ve been lied to. Not maliciously, perhaps. But the truth is, most of what you've been taught in your dojo, on the mats, or in the ring is designed for show, not for fight.

They teach you to react. I'm going to teach you to dominate.

Forget the high kicks, the spinning fists, and the rigid forms. Forget the "honorable" but pointless sparring where you both pull your punches. That's a dance, not a war. That's a sport, not self-preservation.

I'm not here to babysit you or make you feel good about your participation trophy. I'm here to give you the truth about fighting—the brutal, uncompromising, and shockingly simple truth that will change your entire game.

I call it the Martial Trinity.👈

This isn't some mystical new system. This isn't a new list of techniques you have to memorize. It’s a complete and total re-wiring of your brain and a complete and total re-calibration of your physical actions.

Imagine this… you’re standing across from an opponent. Before they even throw a punch, you know what they're going to do. You see the subtle clues in their stance, their guard, and their movements. It's like having a window into their mind.

Then, you act. Not with a flurry of fancy moves, but with a single, precise movement that exploits their biggest weakness. And just like that, the fight is over. One or two moves. Clean. Easy. Devastating.

That’s not magic. That's mastery. And it's built on a foundation that 99% of so-called "masters" don't even know exists.

I've been in this game for over 50 years. I’ve fought, competed, and taught. I’ve seen what works and what doesn't. And the biggest secret I've ever found isn't in a kata or a new technique. It's in the fundamentals—the simple, universal laws of motion that govern every single fight, from the street to the championship ring.

The first law is the Line and Circle Theory.

A straight punch is a line. A hook is a circle. A front kick is a line. A roundhouse kick is a circle. 

That’s a conversation between lines and circles. And when you know how to read that conversation, you will know exactly how to win.

When an opponent keeps their guard tight and close to their body, they're begging for you to hit them with a hook, a circular punch. When they're more open, they're worried about a circular attack, and they're leaving themselves wide open for a linear strike.

The answers are right in front of you. The clues are being given with every stance, every block, and every movement. And I’m going to show you how to read those clues and exploit them.

This is not a dojo. This is not a show. This is for fighting.

This is the key that unlocks everything.

If you’re ready to stop drilling techniques you’ll never use and start building a foundation of pure fighting knowledge...

If you’re ready to hyper-accelerate your martial arts technique and become a truly dangerous fighter…Then this course is for you.

You've been asking the wrong questions. 

The real question isn’t how to block a punch. The real question is how to set your opponent up to throw the punch you want them to, so that you can then land a strike that ends the fight.

And that is exactly what I’m going to teach you.

 Unlock Unstoppable Strikes: The Science of Guaranteed Impact!

What if every strike you threw landed with devastating precision? Imagine never wasting energy on a missed punch or kick again. This isn't martial arts fantasy; this is proven science, and I've personally tested it with a select group of masters—it works!

For years, I obsessed over the elusive secret of why some strikes land and others don't. My deep dive into combat dynamics led to a revolutionary breakthrough: a program unlike anything ever taught before. These aren't just isolated techniques; these are universal principles that transcend any single combat form.

You might think hitting your opponent is like hitting a stationary bag – the easy part. But the real game-changer, the ultimate secret, lies in preparing your opponent for the strike. That's right! When you master the art of preparation, landing your strikes becomes incredibly simple.

The Mindset Shift: From Prediction to Creation

As Einstein wisely stated, "The mind that opens to a new idea never returns to its original size." This powerful concept struck me years ago at an '80s seminar. A 10th Degree Black Belt, a true legend, made a statement that redefined my understanding of combat: "I never throw a strike unless I know it's going to land."

I was floored. How could anyone know a strike would land? Then, a quote from Abraham Lincoln sparked the epiphany: "The best way to predict your future is to create it."

Creating the future—that was the missing piece! I discovered three critical keys that, when combined, empower you to consistently land your strikes on anyone, anytime. By harnessing these principles, you don't just react to the fight; you shape its outcome.

Whether you're gearing up for a tournament, preparing for real-world combat, or simply aiming to dominate that overly confident training partner, these principles will give you the undeniable edge. When you learn this... you will too!

This isn't your grandfather's martial art

Forget everything you think you know about fighting.

Forget the fancy high kicks, the spinning fists, the acrobatic flips. Forget the rigid forms and the endless drilling of techniques that you’ll never actually use in a real fight.

Because I'm about to give you something that will change your entire game.

I’m going to give you a secret that will turn you from a martial arts student into a master strategist. A secret that’s so simple, so fundamental, yet so powerful that it will unlock the deepest secrets of every fighting style you've ever seen.

I call it the Martial Trinity. And the first part of this trinity is the Line and Circle Theory.

Now, before you think this is some high-minded, philosophical mumbo jumbo, let me be clear. This is not for a dojo. This is not for show. This is for fighting.

This is a single concept that will tell you exactly what your opponent is going to do next, how to exploit their weaknesses, and how to finish the fight, often in one or two moves.

You see, for years, martial arts masters have talked about this concept. They've dropped hints about it in proverbs and riddles. But they never truly broke it down. They never showed you how to use it in a real, practical, street-level way. Until now...

This is the key that Unlocks Everything

I'm not going to hold your hand or babysit you through this. You're going to learn the truth about fighting. And the truth is, all fighting is a conversation between lines and circles.

Think about it.

• A straight punch is a line.
• A hook is a circle.
• A front kick is a line.
• A roundhouse kick is a circle.

And every single fighter, from the street brawler to the grandmaster, has a preference for one over the other.

If a fighter keeps their guard tight and close to their body, what are they worried about? The linear attack. They're begging you to hit them with a hook, a circular punch.

Now, what if they're a little more open, with their arms out? They're worried about a hook, so they're giving you an opening to strike with a linear attack.

It’s all right there. The answers are in front of you. The clues are being given with every stance, every block, every move.

And I'm going to teach you how to read those clues and exploit them.

What You're Getting With This New DVD

I filmed the original version of this DVD a year ago, and it was good. It was solid. But after re-watching it, I realized I could do better. I could give you more.

So I've added an entirely new lesson that comes before the original footage. I'll break down two of the most fundamental "master keys" from my Kempo system—Combination 3 and Combination 8.

You’re going to learn these two simple techniques, and once you have them, you're going to see them everywhere. You'll recognize them in every fighting art, from boxing to Kung Fu. These are the building blocks, the DNA of a good fighter.

Then, we'll dive into the original lesson, where I'll show you how to apply the Line and Circle theory to these fundamental techniques.

You'll see how a single straight punch can open up a person's defense and set them up for a fight-ending circular strike.

And you'll learn how to take a linear attack and immediately follow up with a circular one, like with the classic Combination 8 kick.

You'll discover how to stutter, to throw out two circular strikes to open up a linear opportunity.

And here’s the best part…

This isn’t just for hands and feet. Once you understand the principle, you'll see how it applies to grappling, to jiu-jitsu, and every other form of fighting.

This is the kind of insight that can only come from decades of training, fighting, and teaching. I’m giving you the formula, the E=MC², of martial arts. All you have to do is plug in the variables.

You Will Become a Magician of Motion

You see, the secret to this isn't brute force. It's illusion.

Just like a great magician, you're going to learn how to be a great liar.

You'll learn how to sell your first strike, how to make your opponent believe you're going to hit them where they're strong, so that they move exactly where you want them to go. You'll learn how to create illusions that make them open up, leaving them vulnerable to your real attack.

You’ve seen bad magicians, right? The ones who get caught. The ones who mess up the trick. They don't sell the illusion. They give the secret away.

I'm going to teach you how to be a seasoned master, one who barely has to move to create a devastating illusion. A master who can end a fight with a few small, precise movements.

This Is Not For Everyone

This isn't for the person who wants to learn fancy katas and get a participation trophy. This is for the person who wants to win. This is for the person who wants to understand the deepest principles of fighting and use them to their advantage.

If you’re ready to stop guessing and start knowing...

If you're ready to stop drilling techniques you'll never use and start building a foundation of pure fighting knowledge...

If you're ready to hyper-accelerate your martial arts technique and become a truly dangerous fighter...

Then this DVD is for you.

You'll see how the very masters you look up to are using this concept, whether they know it or not. I've used this principle for decades, and it's the single reason I won first-place tournaments. 

It's the reason my opponent's hands would drop, and my foot would find its way to their face, clean and easy.

I’m giving you the keys to the kingdom. It's up to you to walk through the door.

What are you waiting for? Your journey to becoming a true master begins with a single click. Are you ready to see what's been right in front of you this whole time?

Dear Fighter, Enthusiast, or Aspiring Master,

Are you tired of just "going through the motions"? Do your techniques feel… flat? Like you're just punching air or hitting a heavy bag without a deeper purpose?

If you're anything like the thousands of students I've taught over the last three decades, you've probably hit a plateau. You've practiced your forms, you've memorized your katas, and you've even sparred… but something is missing. 

Your strikes lack that snap, that devastating power, that effortless flow that separates a street brawler from a true martial artist.

What if I told you the answer to unlocking your true potential isn't found in a new secret technique, a hidden-away kata, or a newfangled gadget?

What if the secret to mastery is a concept so simple, so fundamental, it’s literally all around you, every single day, but no one has ever taught you how to use it?

What if… it's all about dimensions?

That’s right. The same principles of physics that govern the universe are the same principles that will let you unleash absolute hell on your opponent—and I’m going to show you how.

I'm not talking about some mystical, mumbo-jumbo "chi" or "ki" energy. I’m talking about a tangible, tactical, and devastatingly effective way to think, move, and strike.

The Trinity: The 3 Dimensions of Devastation

You see, for years, I've been working on a system—a trinity—that breaks down the art of striking into its purest, most potent form. This isn't just theory. This is the culmination of decades of in-the-trenches, hands-on, sweat-and-blood experience.

And now, for the first time, I'm releasing the second part of this system to the public. It’s the missing piece that takes everything you’ve learned—all your lines and circles—and gives them a new, explosive dimension.

I call it… The Height Dimension.

Think about it. A fight isn't fought on a flat plane, is it? Your opponent isn't a two-dimensional target. So why are you training like they are? Why are your strikes all staying at the same predictable level?

Because you were never taught to think vertically. You were never taught to use height as a weapon.

This isn’t just about punching high and kicking low. That’s for beginners. This is about using the principles of high and low to mess with your opponent’s brain, to manipulate their instincts, and to create openings they won't even see coming.

Imagine this…

You’re in a fight. You throw a powerful, committed strike to your opponent's legs. Their hands instinctively drop to protect their lower body. Their energy, their "chi," their focus—it all goes down. At that very moment, their face, their neck, their entire upper body is left wide open.

Now, with their guard down and their brain screaming “DANGER!”, you effortlessly snap a devastating palm heel or a razor-sharp chop right into their face.

It's a beautiful, brutal symphony of cause and effect. And I’m going to teach you exactly how to play it.

Don't Just Punch.....Program!!

My brand new DVD course isn’t just a collection of techniques. It's a masterclass in neurological programming.

I’ll give you the exact drills that will rewire your brain and body. The same drills I’ve perfected over 50 years of continuous development—the same drills that will turn your movements from conscious thought into pure, unthinking instinct.

You'll discover:

• Why a "high-low" attack is one of the deadliest combinations in the universe and how to reverse it to completely confuse your opponent.
• The secret to using "stuttering" strikes to slip through a seasoned fighter’s guard even when they expect a simple, predictable combo.
• The "football punt" principle—how to turn a seemingly basic kick into a vicious attack that forces your opponent's guard down and leaves them wide open.
• The truth about "chain punching" and how this traditional form secretly teaches the high-low dimension to create a continuous, rolling onslaught of strikes.
• A "roaming crane" hand set that will program your hands to move with a relentless, flowing power that no one can defend against.
• The single, most important tip for street fighting that will allow you to instantly draw your opponent's hands and attention to a single spot, leaving them completely vulnerable.
• 
  

This isn't about looking cool. This is about real, raw, uncompromising fighting knowledge. This is about giving you an unfair advantage in any confrontation.

Why This Course Is Different ( And Why You Need It Right Now)

I’ve been working on this for over 50 years. Years of refining, of adding, of seeing new things that would make this course even more valuable to you. 

You’ll even see the difference in the filming—a younger me without a beard, but the information… the information is timeless.

I’m so confident in this material, so sure of its power, that I didn't want to re-film a single second. The rawness and the real-time insights you’ll get are worth more than any slick, professionally edited production.

This DVD is the result of a quest for pure, distilled knowledge. It takes the "ridiculous movements" and "pointless forms" you’ve been taught and shows you the secret embedded information within them.

It's what separates the student who just goes through the motions from the fighter who can strike at will.

Don't let your training be flat. Don’t let your techniques be predictable. Don’t wait until you’re in a real-life situation to wish you had this knowledge.

The secret to mastery is right here, waiting for you. All you have to do is reach out and grab it.

To your relentless pursuit of mastery,

Grandmaster Jim Brassard

P.S. Remember, the true master doesn't just learn new techniques. They learn new ways of seeing the them as a whole. This DVD will fundamentally change how you see a fight and how you attack. Don’t miss your chance to unlock a new dimension of power.

🤜 The Leopard System: Unlocking the Secret of Staccato Timing 

You've probably been there.

The lights are on, the bell dings, and your opponent is standing across from you. You’ve drilled the combos, you’ve hit the pads, you’ve practiced the forms until your knuckles bled.

But then... he makes a move.

It’s a simple feint, a slight twitch of the shoulder, a shift in his weight. And just like that, your perfectly memorized, meticulously practiced defense is GONE.

You throw a high block, he goes low. You block his left, and his right hand is already on its way.

Why?

Because he’s not fighting in 3D. He’s not living in the predictable world of "height, width, and depth" that most martial arts schools teach. He’s in a different universe altogether.

He’s living in the 4th Dimension.

And if you don't know how to get there, you'll be playing checkers while he's playing chess.

The "Secret" Your Instructor Probably Doesn't Know About... And If He Does, He’s Holding It Back 

I’ve been in the game a long time. Decades, to be precise. I’ve competed in tournaments and I’ve seen what works and what doesn't. And I’ve seen countless fighters, talented and hard-working, get chewed up and spit out because they're missing one critical, mind-bending piece of the puzzle.

Timing.

You’ve heard the expression, "being at the right place at the right time." Well, in a fight, timing isn’t just important—it’s the final frontier.

It's the difference between a clumsy strike that's easily blocked and an almost supernatural, blindingly fast series of blows that your opponent can’t even begin to perceive, let alone defend against.

This isn't about being faster than the other guy. It's about being in control of the tempo.

Think of a leopard. It doesn't just attack. It strikes with a specific rhythm. A rapid, almost jarring pattern.

It's called staccato.

Staccato: The Master Key That Unlocks Everything

This isn't some new-age garbage. This is a principle I learned from a system that has been around for centuries, a principle that, frankly, is so fundamental that if your instructor hasn’t revealed it to you... you need a new instructor.

Staccato is the secret sauce that makes all your other movements work.

You can do a high strike followed by a low strike. You can do a line strike followed by a circular strike. You can do all the beautiful, intricate Kempo combinations you want. But if you don't add staccato timing, you're just throwing air. Your strikes will be predictable, slow, and you'll get picked apart.

With staccato, you’re not just hitting. You're asking questions. And your opponent’s body answers with a block. But here's the genius part: by the time he answers the first question, you’ve already landed the second.

You throw a quick feint or a half-hearted strike high. He reacts, his hands go up to block. But your next move, your REAL move, is already on its way down to his floating rib. 

He’s frozen like the Statue of Liberty, his defense out of position, and he just told you exactly where to hit him.

You are now the one in control. You are the one asking the questions. And you are the one winning the fight.

Introducing: The 4th Dimension of Combat: The Staccato System

I’ve taken everything I’ve learned in decades of study, practice, and competition and boiled it down into a powerful, no-fluff DVD.

This isn’t a series of complicated katas you need to spend years mastering. It’s a complete formula. It's a key that will unlock everything you already know and make it devastatingly effective.

On this DVD, you will discover:

• The true meaning of the 4th dimension: How to add timing to your existing arsenal to make your strikes penetrate your opponent’s blocking system.
• The power of staccato: How to create a tempo that is so fast, so explosive, it seems like two or three strikes are happening at once. You'll learn the secret of "feeling" your opponent's aura and changing your attack before he even knows what's coming.
• The Master Key, Combination #8: I’ll reveal why this specific Kempo combination is the most important one you'll ever learn and how to supercharge it with staccato timing to devastating effect.
• How to apply this to any strike: What you can do with your feet, you can do with your hands. You'll learn how to take the staccato principle and apply it to every strike you already know, from a front kick to a back fist.
• The "dinner" fighting strategy: Learn the brilliant metaphor of a fight as a dinner. Start with the appetizer (a series of light, disorienting strikes), move to the entree (the finishing blow), and save the dessert for last. Never go straight for the main course and get shut down.
• The "Mirror Me" drill: An easy-to-use, powerful practice method that will harmonize all the principles of the 4th dimension, repetition, and accuracy. This is the drill that will make staccato timing a part of your muscle memory—a reflex you can rely on when the pressure is on.

🤜 Remember this: A martial arts system should be your servant, NEVER your master.

Right now, if you're stuck following the "rules," you're a slave. Your art is telling you what to do. The 4th Dimension of Combat DVD will free you. It will teach you how to become a master, a true fighter who knows when to follow the law and when to break it.

I'm confident that if you apply these lessons, 8 out of 10 of your strikes will slip through and penetrate your opponent's defense.

Imagine a new you... a fighter who is not just reacting, but controlling the fight. A fighter who doesn't have to be the fastest in the room to win, because you are a master of time.

You can continue doing the same old stuff, going to the dojo and hitting the same pads, hoping one day it will all just click. Or you can take control of your training and learn the one thing that will separate you from the pack forever.

P.S. The secret to all the belts, all the skill, is not some mystical power. It's repetition. The secret is to practice with a purpose. This DVD gives you that purpose. It gives you a clear path, a powerful formula, and a definitive drill that will make you a better fighter in a fraction of the time.

P.P.S. This isn't just theory. This is the exact principle that won me tournaments. The exact principle that allowed me to draw my opponent in and land strikes that looked like magic. This isn't just about winning a fight; it's about making your opponent regret ever stepping in the ring with you.

Order the DVD and start your journey into the 4th dimension today.

Dominate the Fight: Why Offense Wins

In any arena, from the gridiron to the dojo, the team with the ball scores the touchdown, and the fighter on offense wins the bout. While self-defense is a critical concept in martial arts, it's crucial to understand that true victory comes from a powerful, strategic offense, not just a solid defense.

Defense can keep you in the fight, but offense is what decisively ends it. 

The strength and intelligence of your offense dictate the duration of the confrontation and your ultimate success. 

As Sun Tzu wisely noted, victory is a possibility, not a guarantee. That's why your offense must be crafted with precision and skill.

The Art of Deception: Your Winning Edge

Just like any combat sport, a truly effective offense demands strategy and finesse. At its heart, crafting a winning offense involves skillful deception. The very definition of "craft" implies artful manipulation, and that's precisely what you'll master in this Striking Course. We'll show you how to misdirect your opponents, creating openings through clever movements and impeccable timing.

Sun Tzu's timeless wisdom, "Against those skilled in attack, an enemy does not know where to defend," directly inspired the development of this course. 

Before refining these techniques, I relied on raw speed and a relentless flurry of strikes. But working alongside highly skilled fighters revealed the true power of strategic manipulation in combat.

Strike at Will: Unpredictability is Your Weapon

This Striking Course empowers you to strike at will, leaving your opponents guessing, constantly unsure of where to defend. You'll learn to control the flow of the fight, not just react to it. It's time to stop simply defending and start dictating the terms of engagement.

Ready to transform your approach and truly dominate?

 Unlock Your True Fighting Potential

Imagine stepping onto the mat, not with a flurry of desperate strikes, but with a quiet confidence, knowing every move you make is precise, powerful, and guaranteed to dismantle your opponent's defense. That's the transformation I experienced years ago, an awakening that began in the presence of a true martial arts master from the 70s.

I used to be like every other martial artist, relying on brute force and hoping for a lucky shot. But then, I was introduced to a groundbreaking concept – motion principles. It was a revelation that shattered my understanding of combat. No more wasted energy, no more mindless flailing.

With just a couple of strategic movements, I was effortlessly weaving through defenses, creating openings, and controlling the flow of every encounter. The results were immediate and astounding. This wasn't just an improvement; it was a revolution in my fighting style.

This profound realization, this exhilarating mastery of movement, is what led to the birth of The Martial Trinity. It's the culmination of those powerful principles, distilled into a system that will elevate your martial arts journey to levels you never thought possible.

Are you ready to stop fighting harder and start fighting smarter?

Master the Art of Deception and Dominate Your Opponents!

Take a look at this picture: that's me in the white uniform. Notice anything unusual? My opponent's lead hand is down, and I'm using my left leg. The judges all shouted, "UP! POINT!" at the exact same moment.

This wasn't just any match; this guy was my toughest opponent of the day, incredibly skilled. I was even down 2-0 at one point, and back then, three points won the match. But I dug deep, recalled the principles taught in this course, and rallied to take first place.

It wasn't just that I faked him out, it was HOW I did it. The subtle motions and precise timing I employed made all the difference, allowing me to land my strikes effectively. As legendary coach John Wooden said, "Little things Make the BIG things Happen."

Double Your Skills Instantly

If you already understand and use misdirection, the "little things" I'm about to share with you will instantly double your skills. You'll discover the nuanced techniques that create openings and guarantee your strikes land.

Uncover My "Bread-n-Butter" Combat Moves

And there's more. With over 50 years in the martial arts, I've developed battle-tested patterns that consistently land in combat. I consider these my "bread-n-butter" moves, and I'll show you exactly how to integrate them into your own fighting style.
