Equations synthesize understanding. Equations must be done on a subconscious level free of emotional barriers. Emotion is a precursor that motivates one, within their code of ethics, to release their instinctual primal behavior while maintaining harmony with the universe. Without a code of ethics, the primal human maintains an identity without remorse. Universal laws are unaffected by ethics. To process the stimuli, ethics are the manifest creed to free the mind for innovation.

Innovation is an introduction of new information changing what is established. Established boundaries protect the connection that maintains expansion and invasion to innovate. Spontaneity is the occurrence happening entirely by inherent properties of internal forces without application of external cause. Innovative spontaneity is the change of attack to dominate one’s enemy. Innovative spontaneity is the connective matrix creating paths of transitions.

Transitions connect action as motion parallels intent. Peripheral engagement produces clarity. Commitment is a resultant of clarity that accelerates response. Objective commitment maintains victory. Without the stability of engagement, transitions are fragmented attempts to hold and maintain balance succumbing to the laws of chaos. Mental Response generates physical exciters encouraging detachment to a state of domination of one’s four rings while maintaining awareness of one’s tactical area of response. Fortified engagement with twelve points of consideration accelerates sequence of attack.

Priority benefits sequence of attack. The primal being invades the conscious martial human as instinctual primal behavior conjoins and co-contracts instincts. Civilization tempers instinctual primal behavior through social and penal law. Judgement becomes multi-faceted . Substance of character is the spiritual journey of existence.

Spiritual, as to, pertains to the abolition of barriers that restrict internal and external wholeness. Universal, as to, pertains to the union and cojoinment of the laws of the universe. Physical, as to, pertains to the dimensions of matter.

The Process in which a gas/vapor expands in a controlled environment is dimensional as well as directional. In American Kenpo, we continue to parallel our mental picture with this thought and visualize many concepts, theories and principles. The view from a detached state, concerns us with this three part explanation on what a gas is part of.

We may view water as the third part of what matter consists of in our universe, that is solids, liquid and gas. We know that solid water is ice, in a view using the Martial Way as our filter, we can say that solid/ice is a single dimensional state. A single move, mechanical, disconnected from further processes. It is stationary. Lineal. The liquid state of water, finds the least path of resistance in it’s travel and occupancy of a space. Water/fluid can be can be filtered in a Martial Way as the path of least resistance, yielding to obstruction, going around insurmountable objects that have greater mass or greater resistance. More suited to modification. Water rises when confined in a vessel type arena or environment, it will not rise unless confined.

The gaseous/vapor state finds it’s own expanding volume. Of course pressure and density enter into the three states of water. In American Kenpo, our gaseous/vapor state is manifest in three dimensions. The Tactical Area of Response, The Four Rings and the Outer Rim Principle. To understand what gaseous expansion is one must explore what it does not do.

Inertia affects all matter all the time. Inertia is attached to all of the Universe. This constant state of energy production, this process of expansion is intrinsic to the Martial Human in dominating the arena/environment that this Martial Human occupies or invades.

Different theories attract different states of expansion. Such as, Inertial Engagement as defined when the entire mass is launched in a plane of acceleration to penetrate to and through the opponent. This expansion in penetrating the opponents Four Rings is expansive in it’s occupancy. We can say then that Inertial Engagement is dominating and penetrating the dimension of depth. In Rotational Engagement, we again attack a prescribed dimension, width. While expanding to the parameters of the Outer Rim Principle’s boundary, we accomplish the gaseous/vaporous state of volume. The very nature of expansion in the Outer Rim Principle in relationship to Rotational Engagement deals with the dimensions of width, height is controlled in the connected state of outlining the Outer Rims Principle’s boundary.

To fortify this expanding volume domination, one must create a denominator to generate energy. The co-generational denominator in invasive by nature, all encompassing in principle. To invade is to dominate and create tactical decisions based upon aggressive attack, as in a violent release of gas under extreme pressure. This is quite different than a gas simply released “seeking it’s volume.” The eventual outcome of hostile engagement must be defined in the realm of life and or opponent death.

In the American Kenpo’s line of mechanical drills and sets to fortify this invasion of prescribed volume, as we refer to as “The Outer Rim Principle” we attain a level of control that dominates all articulating joints.

Although in definition, the late Grandmaster Ed Parker referred to this volume as the Outer Rim Theory, I have changed this to honor the Senior Grandmaster. This theory is now a principle in our collective teachings in the Universal Kenpo Federation having been operated and tested in real and empirical situations of data collection.

To accomplish this mechanical expanding domination that can lead to a state of Innovative Spontaneity in it’s most articulated actions we refer to the many sets that Grandmaster Parker created. To this I have created additional sets for the Universal Kenpo Federation’s Compendium Of Knowledge as the UKF continues to fulfill the Founder of American Kenpo’s creed, to perpetrate and expand the system that he laid as the cornerstone for the future of our system, American Kenpo.

Engagement of an armed enemy is a process of the mental recognition of the severity and the intensity and awareness of the gravity of the intentional positioning of your enemy. Bringing your reality to fatal consequence in regards to your enemy is a mental decision. Opponents are competitive players under constraints with rules and agreements controlling the ebb and flow of combative engagement. Killing is not part of this equation. Winning by point or score determines the victor, with the accolade and judgment of victory by a ruling body.

Enemies are out to hurt, damage and to then kill. To bring a competitive mindset to a killing scenario fortifies the old adage of “bringing a knife to a gun fight.” One cannot train to kill but to kill. All one can do is attempt a process, a clearing of the mind to prepare for battle.

Discipline and principled awareness based on reality of the conflict is the platform to lever this engagement. Recognizing the difference between competition and a life and death conflict must be based on one’s own intuitive ability to process the scope of conflict using various methods of awareness. Body language, weapon display, verbal assaults and the spirit of the opponent/enemy’s desire to engage. In the Martial Way one cleanses the spirit to prepare for the ultimate conflict. Often times in a peaceful setting one does not always prepare for ultimate conflict. In preparation for ultimate conflict, moral and ethical commitment to action has to be based on the realistic encounter and the consequence of what the encounter will mean down range.

The mind is a depository of empirical wisdom that protects and conjoins a co-contracted human in protection of itself. To prepare for this co-contraction, the human must scrutinize in a Martial Way on what benefits the killing, the aftermath and the residual psychological impact of the action. Detachment as a vehicle to accelerate the removal of emotion in engagement has been a time honored carrier of the warrior. Warehousing emotion in a detached compartment must be revisited and cataloged. One’s lifestyle of positive or negative action propels this action as an attainable reality. Either focus of clarity with justified action is the result or bitter negative remorse is, fulfilling a death spiral of spiritual harmony with the Universe.

The Martial Way has been a motivator for human life since it’s inception, and honor with virtue plus integrity displays a path of humble dignity.

1. Out of Your Personal Range of Controlled Engagement and In the Tactical Area of Response
Visual clarification of the stimuli is the process of the beginning of the conditioned response. Clarity of the opposing action and the recognition of danger begins this process. The assembly of resources, internal, external and universal activation, and the conscious commitment to unify energy. Natural response to the unfolding reality brings progress. Progress supports enlightenment. The embodiment of a natural way is reflective on one’s ability to lose control, and the loss of that control reflects the lack of continuity with the laws of the universe. Co-joined energy manifests in the dynamic nature of peace and collection personifies the projection of this energy. Refusal of a negative human to enter your peaceful state is unyielding victory. Victory is multi-faceted.

2. In Your Personal Range of Controlled Contact
Up to and including your Four Rings. Physical observation is digested of the enemy. The nature of the attack is cataloged, and action unfolds. Decision is forthright on the course of action. If an attack is imminent, the detachment process is complete. Action to action; attack the attack. Commitment to the depth of attack, and life and death is platformed. Critical mass. In an atom, critical mass is achieved when several heavy particles are occupying the same space, therefore creating extraordinary chains of catastrophic events. Harmony permeates your vision, and penetrates your enemies dwelling.

3. Controlled Impact Penetration and Target Creation
Penetrating the dimension in which you are attacking. Dimensional steps in maneuvering to penetrate the center of the opponents mass is referred to as penetrating the spinal ring. When the spinal ring is penetrated, and the action completes its cycle, the understanding is that you have gone through your target, not to your target. Penetration of a human’s spirit disables the will to resolve. Relentless pursuit and constant invasion in an expanding domination of the enemy’s physical dimensions. Connected sequential attack. Synergistic engagement. Total and complete unification of the laws of the universe, unfolding and blooming. The sequence is natural and real. The mighty redwood begins as a seed from a single point, and the sequence and impulse to manifest destiny is underway.

4. Target Impact Manipulation
The resultant of impact penetration. Simply understood as if you hit someone, this is where they will be after you hit them. This continuous process maintains the attack in an unfolding sequential state of physical domination. Assessing the depth of a continuing attack. Impact penetration and impact manipulation are exchanged and connected. The physical destruction of your opponents will to continue. Breath and stamina are destroyed. Spirit wanes and fades, expanding and acting on one’s energy.

5. Physical Body Control Manipulation
The contoured physical state of controlling your opponents actions by canceling all his dimensions. Common terms of wrestling and grappling are applicable. Locks and hugs. A constant physical attachment with your opponent, maneuvering to tactical advantage and to physically dominate. Energies are united and harmony with the universe has been established. Spirit domination is conjoined to one’s control. The wind pushes the sail on course, charts are plotted and manifest. All control of your opponent has been dominated. And as the wind passes, the aftermath and the void of wind has energy as the sail bellows in anticipation.

6. Control Manipulation Maintenance
Physically controlled state of opponent domination as survey is made of the environment. The process of attachment and tactical arrangement of your four ring domination. Assessment of the conscious level of your enemy. Decision to inaugurate a new attack is determined. From survey of the physical plane, and survey of the enemy’s state of life and the ability to retaliate an offensive attack. The course is set, the sail full and in control.

7. Control Manipulation Release
The physical release of your opponent in a tactical advantage for you, and canceling his ability to gain advantage on you. Capture your energy for complete control. Disengaging harmony from your opponent, remove the wind. Mission complete. Resolved. If no contact made, victory. If death is created, molecular change begins. Fill your sail and inhale as you exhale the bad wind, life.

8. Extraction
The physical maneuvers that places you in an expanded tactical area of response, and the maximum distance from danger without compromise, gaining physical visual control of your environment. Personal search of your body for injury. Attachment with your way, gathering back the loose lines, focus in on the journey as seen and lived. Expanding back in, conjoining destiny and circumstance, nothing personal is lost, acceptance of unfolding events and digestion of the resultant.

This sequence of events is a state of awareness. The farther the target is away, the less the adjustment to maintain on the target. If the target/enemy is recognized at a greater distance, the unfolding has greater clarity. Small purposeful adjustments in target alignment have greater impact as the target/enemy begins engagement.
