Shaolin Kempo Karate Combinations/DM's
The Kempo combinations have long been the bread and butter of the art. When I started in the mid 70βs there was about 30 to 40, then over the years they progressed to 108.
Each one contains Major and Minor principles that βIFβ taught and extracted will give understanding to the art of combat.
With that being said, it could take a long time to understand just one of these techniques, which is not the purpose of these DVDβs.
What is the purpose and benefit of these DVDβs is to expose the many illogical movements that have mutated over the years.
Movements that if attempted in combat could lead to your demise.
Not to mention to show the appropriate attack for each, which is NOT always a front punch.
Some of these techniques were meant for roundhouse punches, which is very common in real life........AND...
β‘οΈThe Attacker is NOT just throwing a right punch...
They're throwing a right punch, FOLLOWED BY THE LEFT!!!β¬ οΈ
If you factor that into your thinking, you will see that many of the combinations/DM's have been miss taught or just simply wrong.
If you don't believe that, then when on the inside, just have your opponent follow up his right punch with his left punch....
FAST!!! and see what happens.
If you're honest with yourself and put your techniques on trial for YOUR life with this "What If" scenario, you will conclude that much of what you know isn't effective in combat.
Not to mention some of these techniques work better for OFFENSE.....NOT DEFENSE!!!
(See video on Combo 8 above)
I have learned over 50 years that very, very few have experienced enough to critically look at what they have been taught, and what they are teaching, and .....Separate the Myth from Reality!!!
These are brief (3-5 min) explanations to proper execution with respect to the opponent's back-up weapons, given you a margin for error when performing them.
Whether you're a Kempoist or not you will gain great insight into one of the most powerful and diversified arts known.
Adding these movements to your art will enhance your vocabulary of movement and your system of combat as well.
As we head into the 60's and up, you will see the way they were originally taught.
It seems when you hit these numbers they are nothing like each other from coast to coast from what I've seen.
Since the combinations seem to lay down the foundation for almost all the punch, club, jiu-jitsu and other techniques of the system, the information presented in these DVD's will help expose "accidents" before they occur.
Thus given you a logical approach to the combinations that when learned can.....
Boost "All" the Other Techniques
"I really like all the improvements you have made on the Combinations, making them MUCH MORE effective."

"I stuck with him because his teaching is truly amazing"
GM Brassard introduced a new teaching series called Inside Shaolin Kempo
"I have been a member of GM Brassard's monthly training club since 2017. I stuck with him because his monthly teaching club is truly amazing.
Rather than simply teach you how to memorize techniques, GM Brassard takes you step by step through each lesson as if he was there with you and guides you through the real world application of what you are learning.
The best part of all this is that I never have to worry about striving for my next rank, I can just learn this month's principles and techniques that make me a better martial artist, practice and go at my own pace.
Recently, GM Brassard introduced a new teaching series called Inside Shaolin Kempo. In this new series he digs deep into several Shaolin Kempo Combinations and Forms that are the meat of the style.
Rather than focus on memorizing loads of forms and combinations that have no real world application, he demonstrates how to extract the principles and techniques from the ones you already have.
I can't tell you how many light bulbs went off in my head after just one of these training videos.
If you are looking to bring your training to levels you never thought possible, I highly recommend both his monthly training club and Inside Shaolin Kempo teaching series.
There is enough knowledge and practical application in what he teaches to keep you shaking your head wondering how you ever ranked up without this information."

This isn't just a collection of moves; it's a masterclass in strategy, control, and the art of unseen power.
What You'll Master in This Exclusive DVD:
This advanced program dives deep into the 60s combinations, originally taught around the 1980s.
You'll discover that at this level, techniques diverge significantly from earlier forms, emphasizing subtlety, misdirection, and overwhelming effectiveness.
Combination 61: The Un-Guard Dominance
Learn to strike effectively from an un-guard position, a hallmark of true masters.
This section reveals the "Killer Tip"βa unique "framing" method that dictates your opponent's actions, leading them right into your traps.
Master the simple yet brutal straight punch counter, incorporating traps, a "frozen leopard" strike, and a decisive neck snap.
Ground Negotiation & Recovery
Your chain is only as strong as its weakest link.
This combination teaches you how to negotiate the ground, mastering rolls and recovery techniques that transform a fall from a weakness into an opportunity.
Combination 62: The Pickup, Flip & Break
Discover how to pick up, flip, and throw an opponent, even if they're larger than you.
This combination focuses on leverage and precision, demonstrating how to effectively break an opponent's balance and deliver powerful throws.
Combination 63: Dual-Zone Dominance
Elevate your defensive and offensive capabilities by integrating attacks below the waist with upper-body techniques.
Learn how to manage varying opponent stances (narrow vs. wide) and seamlessly transition between levels for a truly comprehensive defense.
Combination 64: The Art of Hidden Hands (Part 1)
Begin your journey into the elusive art of "hidden hands."
Learn to use one hand to obscure the other, making your strikes incredibly difficult to detect.
This technique allows you to unleash devastating blows from seemingly nowhere, with a focus on powerful elbow and hammer strikes.
Combination 65: The Art of Hidden Hands (Part 2) & The Hip Roll
Continue refining your hidden hand techniques. This variation builds on the previous combination, introducing a dynamic hip roll as a powerful finishing move, offering an alternative to the flip.
Combination 66: The Intricate Knee Lock (WARNING: EXTREME CAUTION!)
This is a critical and potentially dangerous technique. Learn a highly intricate knee lock that can instantly incapacitate an opponent.
We demonstrate this with utmost care, emphasizing the importance of ginger practice due to its potential for serious injury.
This combination also delves deeper into hidden strikes and devastating elbow-to-kidney/rib attacks.
Combination 67: Double Leopard's Paw & Obscure Strikes
Revisit the double leopard's paw technique with an advanced twist.
Learn to strike from an obscure zone, making your attacks incredibly difficult for an opponent to perceive.
This combination focuses on powerful forearm strikes and decisive takedowns.
Combination 68: The Shock Block & Its Versatility
Master the "shock block"βa potent downward hammer strike designed to paralyze an opponent's arm.
Explore its various applications, transitioning seamlessly into kicks, throat strikes, and over-the-shoulder throws or hip rolls.
Combination 69: The Advanced Shock Block & Knee Buckle
A variation of the shock block, this combination teaches you to block and then immediately sneak underneath for a powerful kick.
Learn how to slide behind your opponent's leg and use a precise knee buckle to bring them down, even if the initial block wasn't perfectly executed.
Combination 70: Reverse Crescent Kick & Pillar Destruction
Discover a highly effective combination that starts with a block, transitions into quick, powerful strikes (emphasizing proper knuckle impact for maximum transfer of power), and culminates in a devastating reverse crescent kick.
Learn to destroy the "pillar" (balance) of your opponent. This combination is similar to the advanced techniques found on the "Kempo Tips" website (combination 74).
