He wrote the Hand-to-Hand training package for the United States Marine Corps.The original Hand-to-Hand comnbat is a study by which the individual connects to the whole. Therefore, you must practice with complete awareness of all that surrounds you. You should maintain this awareness along with healthy degree of tension at all times. You should always practice in the Spirit of Joy. Your teacher can only give you an outline, a hint here and there to guide you. Only through constant practice will you master the practical use of this mystery. Learn to understand with your body. Do not engage in a futile effort to learn a great number of techniques one-by-one and make each one your own. One should begin practice with proper warm-up exercises. This will strenthen the body and prevent undue stress on it. There is no reason for injury, even to older people. The first ten minute will impact the remainder of the workout. Remember that your practice should be joyful.
You must gain understanding of the real purpose of your training. The original Hand-to-Hand is the Spirit of Harmony. Its purpose is to produce real human beings who will improve the world. Hand-to-Hand is the study of wisdom. If you can not control and trust yourself - if you can not see yourself clearly - you will never have any knowledge of trust of others and you certainly will not be able to control them. The purpose of Hand-to-Hand training is not to create aggressive fighters but, to refine wisdom and self control. As a student of Hand-to-Hand you must study to improve and polish yourself, not to compete with others. The key to this process - and the heart of Hand-to-Hand is the Unity or Harmonious interacton. In practice, Unity means the ability to blend, both physically and mentally with the movement and energy of you partner. Hand-to-Hand combat is the study of good communication. In any interaction between people, communication exists.
