CHINESE DRAGON KEMPO HOME STUDY PROGRAM

Chinese Dragon Kempo is a three-volume system of self-defense designed to give students hard-hitting and effective self-defense skills quickly and efficiently. The system is unique because it is designed for those students who do not have training partners. Students train and test with a target dummy so they can strike the targets and practice the techniques at full speed and full strength. Instructed by Robert Shook, the series teaches 60 techniques, worked against both left and right side attacks, against punches, grabs and mulitple attackers. Each volume also teaches a form. The series costs only $89.95 USD (regular price $199.90). Mr. Shook holds Dan rankings in Sin Moo Hapkido, Goshin Jujitsu, Renzoku Jujitsu, White Dragon Kempo, Chinese Kenpo (Chuan Fa), American Kenpo and Kanshu Kenpo. His efforts have been recognized by several organizations: World Martial Arts Masters Society, Budokaikan International, International Assembly of Sokeship, World Nibuikai Budo Federation, International Alliance of Martial Arts Masters, the World Karate Union Hall of Fame and the Universal Martial Arts Hall of Fame.

The Chinese Dragon Kempo Black Belt series consists of three ranks - Green, Brown and 1st Black (see below) - and costs only $89.95 USD (regular price $199.90).

Customer Comments on IMF Black Belt Series:
I received my "Green Belt" video for Chinese Dragon Kempo and I must say, "Excellent!". I should know, I act in a lot of industrial videos and training videos and such and recognized the quality and simplicity of the "presentation/teaching" put forth by you. Tom A.

I got the first tape. It is great, I am 1/3 of the way through it…I like the Kempo and the practical aspects of it. Robert B.

A simple philosophy and a fundamental mission lie at the core of Chinese Dragon Kempo - "Hit Hard. Hit Fast. Train Like You Mean It. To be an effective self-defense style, a student must learn to defend him/herself successfully in the shortest time possible.

Chinese Dragon Kempo accomplishes this mission by adhering to five teaching principles:

1) Teach the fundamental targets - the vital areas that, when struck, will stop or substantially slow an attack
2) Teach the fundamental weapons - kicks and hand strikes - and how to use them against the opponent's targets
3) Emphasize simple counter-attacks over the complex
4) Apply similar counter-attacks in multiple situations
5) Train and test with a target dummy using all the force and aggression possible

Testing is accomplished with VHS tapes in which the student performs the requirements for each rank.

Demonstrations of the Self-Defense Techniques on a target dummy represent 80% of the total grade. Students will be graded in four areas on a 0-3 scale:

Knowledge of the Technique
Aggressiveness
Yelling
Target Striking Skills

Demonstrations of the Forms make up 20% of the total grade. Students are graded on a pass/fail basis and are judged on their knowledge and performance of each technique. Precision is valued over speed.

All test tapes should be on VHS tapes. The testing fee is $49.95 USD per test/rank, only $15.00 per test/rank for Independent Martial Arts Federation members. Completed tapes should be mailed along with the appropriate fees to:

Testing fees can be paid with cash, money order, personal check or credit card. Money orders and checks should be made payable to Robert Shook. Contact us at imaf100@aol.com or at 817-874-8296 for directions on paying with credit cards.
