PUBLISHER´S MESSAGE Kind regards to all Martial Science readers. Today I want to share a fragment published in the introduction of my last book under the following headline:
The Great Book of Rensoku Waza of the ShinKaiDo Ryu It has been a piece of work that points out the continuity of several generations and sets up a striking connection between our ancestors and the present generations. I hope it would be pleasing to you. “By the 1990’s I was a young martial artist, by that time, Taekwondo was my greatest passion. I won many combats in consecutive championships because of my high quality performance during the competitions. Although I moved through different Dojos, I always returned to my primary martial arts school with my prime Sensei Eduardo Nordelo. He holds the degree of Bachelor in Sports and Physical Education. Each Dojo and each master has an outstanding practitioner, who re pre s e nt s him, for Sensei Eduar-
do Nordelo, I had that
rank; it was like the Ushidenshi (intern student). My master previewed the continuity of his teachings on me; so, he trained me not only on the techniques, but also the necessary pedagogical and didactic tools for teaching martial arts. Once, I watched him writing on large folders which were full of columns and numbers; such attitude deeply called my attention, but I considered him so much that I never asked him about it. In another occasion, he commanded me to find some documents from his personal wardrobe, and I saw some folders with those odd numbers once again; judging by the paper’s appearance and odor, they were very old. I was so curious about it that once, as he was painting a mural for the Dojo; in a very keen way I asked Master Eduardo: Master, how about the numbers, what are they, what do they mean? Without a denial, he explained it all to me. 1-1-1 2-1-1 3-1-1 4-1-1 5-1-1 6-1-1 1-1-2 2-1-2 3-1-2 4-1-2 5-1-2 6-1-2 1-1-3 2-1-3 3-1-3 4-1-3 5-1-3 6-1-3 1-1-4 2-1-4 3-1-4 4-1-4 5-1-4 6-1-4 1-1-5 2-1-5 3-1-5 4-1-5 5-1-5 6-1-5 1-1-6 2-1-6 3-1-6 4-1-6 5-1-6 6-1-6 Each number was the key a given technical movement, thus: 1- Stands for Mae Geri, 2- Stands for Kinteki Geri, 3- Stands for Yoko Geri, 4- Stands for Kasumi Geri, 5- Stands for Mawashi Geri, 6- Stands for Ushiro Geri. If we happen to randomly select a combination from the table above, the outcome in a combat
or training would be as follows: Kinteki Geri - Mae Geri - Ushiro Geri. There was so much to be done and there were many ways to move the numbers and leave them fixed, that I became addicted; I started to help my master to make innumerable sheets with different keys and even letters to differentiate the blocking techniques.
Finally, I leave you this humble piece of work in mind. It symbolizes the continuity of the studies of another generation. Practitioners and masters will surely find the benefits of the guide I propose today.
The main advantages of this were that it made easier to combine the techniques without writing the long names of martial arts, on the other hand; there could be a secret code between the master and the practitioner so that none one else could understand their talking, besides it was very useful in combats. Another advantage was that for the first time it was possible to mathematically observe the endless character of martial arts. The addiction for obtaining as many combinations as possible obliged me to deepen on mathematics; there I found the concepts of the combinations and exchange within it to achieve the objective I was looking for (2, 3 and 4 technical elements in a sequence, since a greater number would bring larger outcomes), the multiplication principle and the for mu l a were of a great help.

Twenty-two years later and after profound changes in my personal and professional life as a martial artist, I have decided to publish all my studies, to show the results gather after many years of patient work, steadiness, dedication and love. This book is part of the work my master began, I continued and my students will go on with. There are not too many photos, drawings or explanations on this book if compared to others on the genus. However, its pages hold the necessary knowledge, which would make possible to write hundreds of business books. Its inside is full of thousands of technical combinations of the ShinKaiDo Ryu, which will undoubtedly serve the objectives of all kind of martial arts, since the techniques are practically the same in all systems.

All Beginnings Are Difficult. Art Was Not An Exceptionhe Counts On His Experience With His Own Words. I started to train karate when I was 13th, it did not last long. I was a kid, so to speak… more than fat… I hated everything related to sports. So, to practice sports was temporally for me. I used to practice for at least three months, and then I stopped it. It went like this until I was 16. At this age, I started to train hard and two things happened; first, some gangsters beat me and left me tear to pieces. I still remember the odor and hotness of my blood shed on my face, doctors made 11 sewing stitch to close up the wounds; second, the first movie of BRUCE LEE that I watched, it turned my inspiration. I still remembered the time I was sitting at the movies watching Bruce Lee for the first time. Though he was dead already, his films were still premiere. When I got off the movies, I was so impressed that Bruce Lee’s magic made me vibrate of emotion.
...That Bruce Lee’s Magic Made Me Vibrate Of Emotion.

Those two events motivate me to start training. I have trained under several systems, such as: Tae Kwon Do, Karate, Kali, Jeet Kune Do, and Boxing, lately, I trained with Grand Master Eric Lee in Wun Hop Kuen Do. Sifu Eric Lee has not only been my sifu, but my friend and mentor in the choreographies of combats. My first work performance of combats was in Hollywood, it was a movie that my sifu Eric Lee choreographed the name “Ring of Fired”. I have trained with many grand masters from time to time, they have all influenced on me. Hence, even when I am performing a movie, I am learning from them. Recently, Grand master Samuel Kwok started to tech me of art of Wing Chun. To learn from him is a great honor to me. I still consider myself a White Belt and do not want to be disrespectful to all these Grand masters who have taught me a lot.
this chance to enter. I am natural and enjoy it. There were some other small roles and more stunts in movie, then I was asked to become the choreographer of nearly twenty combat movies and I jumped on all two feet. My expertise directing commercials helped a lot, since I usually watch the combat on the screen from a cinematographic angle.
What Is Your Favorite Choreography?
I have choreographed more than 300 combats for film making; most of them are good enough. None of them is my favorite, but some are highlighted by some elements. For instance, in Half Past Dead, we decided to perform the Hong Kong style. I worked with a Chinese choreographer named Xin Xin Xiong, we created scenes using cables Chinese like style combined with the Aikido of Steven Entering To Movie Making Seagal. In The Secuela con Bill Goldber, we went for harder combats under the American I started to work as a walker-on in a publicity style. In films with Don Wilson we used Street agency in Spanish before I turned a movie style combined with kickboxing. star. I began cleaning toilets, and in less than a year I was acting, producing and writing commercials for television in Spanish to my dear mentor Mr. Aaron Berger. I did not know how to enter into movies, so, I did some extra work for about nine months to get some experience about the job. At the same time, I attended auditions for a role form movie making. I was very lucky to get a role as a co-star in the movie “Connexion in Chinatown”, by this time my sifu Eric lee was a movie choreographer and called me to be kicked in one of them, I took advantage of

Suggestions For Choreographers A great combat on the screen depends more upon rhyme, music and dance than upon the combat itself. You are not fighting but you create the illusion of fighting through body expression and emotions. To create a great fight on the screen, some of the most important tips are to understand the effects and function of the camera, the corporal movement, the emotions of the character, and of course the basic abilities of the combat or martial art. It is basically a dance of deadly combat. - Art Camacho
Sifu Eric Lee has not only been my sifu, but my friend and mentor in the choreographies of combats.

In my first movie as a director, I actually wanted to tell a story on each combat as the performer grew more and more in his physical abilities and turned emotionally mature. I have choreographed and worked with Don Wilson more than with any other martial art master and have also directed him in four films, it has made the work enjoyable for we are great friends, too. One of my prime movies with Don Wilson was “Ring of Fire II”. This movie was a great amusement, it turn our homage to Bruce Lee.
Working With Steaven Seagal I was a great admirer of Steven Seagal before I worked with him and it was an honor and a pleasure to have had the chance to coordinate the action on Half Past Dead. He is a master in martial arts, an expert in Aikido and to work with him was undoubtedly a great experience. When we were to perform the action I asked him in what direction he wanted the opponent to enter and been a master of Aikido, Steven Seagal offered a set of various techniques until he spotted the one that best fitted the situation. I have learned a lot from him. Steven Seagal is a very intense and talented person which he proves on his movies.
“...Steven Seagal Offered A Set Of Various Techniques Until He Spotted The One That Best fitted the situation”. 18
Where Can The Art Of Stunt Fighting Be Learned? As far as I know, there are not schools for Stuntfighting in particular, but there are rooms for training the stunts or acrobatics all across the country. Three years ago I used to teach stuntfighting while working on a project for Warner Bros. I worked on a two floor building, there was an office downstairs and upstairs there was the Dojo. I used to work daily and taught the lessons on stuntfighting at nights. Many of my students have had great success in films like: GI Joe, Avengers, Iron Man, etc. I still teach seminars on Stuntfighting when I a not making a film, I taught one in Chiuhahua Mexico another in Tijuana México and some here in the United States. Those seminars are mainly about specific aspects of fighting for movies. As I have directed commercials, musical videos, TV and feature films, I have a different perspective from the stuntfighting. I don’t do this as a martial artist, but as someone w h o sits at a theater and knows nothing about martial arts. Most people think that the dramatic feeling, emotion and narration of a story with kicks and punches is fighting, but actually it is not.
New Projects Currently I am involved in the pre-production phase of a movie entitled Final Payback 2; it is the continuity of a film I recorded some years ago. We are getting into a new trend inspired in the movie “The Mechanic” with Jason Statham and also in the unfold of two vampire movies with Latin stem named “The crossing”, the other comes from a movie I made about twenty years ago entitled “ To Be he Best”. I am the co-writer and co-director in both films, besides; I have been hired to direct other two films. At present, I am teaching seminars on fighting the stunts, always looking for new talents. I have just met a very talented person named Ana Carolina De Fonseca, she a model and an actress, and we discuss about the possibility to develop an action movie.

Finals Tips
The most important thing is to be passionate about this job and at the same time, see it as a business. Learn as much as you can, wherever you can about your art, be it performing, stunts or in direction. Secondly, switch on with as many people as you can on this business and let yourself to be seen by them. Thirdly, make cortos, if you are an actor: act, if you are a director: direct. It does not matter how small or big the project is, just do it! Give the best of you in every project. I have been fortunate in career, even when it has been hard. No one gave a chance, so I made my own chances. Even now, I have started many studies on film making and I still have to fight for each movie. If you are a Latin person it turns more difficult, since no one see Latin men as choreographers or stuntmen, they prefer to hire Asians or Philippians, to perform Latin roles. Besides, many Latin men don’t allow other Latin on their business once they have succeeded, and then you have to fight and believe in your talents. Never accept a ‘No’ as a response and be ready for many. I believe we are not all destine to win, but I am pretty sure we are not destine to lose either, so, go and fight with all your heart, if you happen to win, change the cycle of selfishness on behalf of others. Thank you very much, it was a great honor! 20

Teachings of the Budha Fate Is In Our Hands
I
n a time long past, there was an old monk who, through diligent practice, had attained a certain degree of spiritual penetration. “He had a young novice who was about eight years old. One day the monk looked at the boy’s face and saw there that he would die within the next few months. Saddened by this, he told the boy to take a long holiday and go and visit his parents. ‘Take your time,’ said the monk. ‘Don’t hurry back.’ For he felt the boy should be with his family when he died. Three months later, to his astonishment, the monk saw the boy walking back up the mountain. When he arrived he looked intently at his face and saw that they boy would now live to a ripe old age. ‘Tell me everything that happened while you were away,’ said the monk. So the boy started to tell of his journey down from the mountain. He told of villages and towns he passed through, of rivers forded and mountains climbed. Then he told how one day he came upon a stream in flood. He noticed, as he tried to pick his way across the flowing stream, that a colony of ants had become trapped on a small island formed by the flooding stream. Moved by compassion for these poor creatures, he took a branch of a tree and laid it across one flow of the stream until it touched the little island. As the ants made their way across, the boy held the branch steady, until he was sure all the ants had escaped to dry land. Then he went on his way. ‘So,’ thought the old monk to himself, ‘that is why the gods have lengthened his days.’ Compassionate acts can alter your fate. Conversely, acts of viciousness can adversely affect your fate.”

hat does a lifetime of training for a serious martial artist entail? Let’s start by examining some of the major phases that span cradle to grave development for a student of an existing art:
(1) Basics (usually confirmed when the black belt is awarded) (2) Serious training expanding knowledge and depth (3) Mastery and Creativity (4) Leadership and Inspiration of the Next Generation (5) Contribution and Refinement of the Art itself. Some people turn pro while still in stage 2 or, at the latest, stage 3, either competing professionally (if applicable) or opening schools within an existing larger organization. However, they are merely operating under someone else’s business paradigm, 24
sometimes sadly falling into the trap of allowing the material success to bolster their egos, and are, in reality, incomplete in their development. Only a rare few of these practitioners, under the guidance of their teachers, remain serious and humble enough to go beyond this stage.
In fact, they always revere their teachers, which is why they were able to continue their development, recognizing that without their teachers they would never have achieved anything. Consider the genius of Funakoshi, Ueshiba, Kano, and the countless ancient and modern masters throughout the world who broke new ground and established entire marThose martial artists who continue pursuing their tial arts systems and organizations. The most nodevelopment are well beyond their competing table modern achievements in this area have been years by the time they get to stage 4, and establish indisputably recognized in the person of Bruce Lee, an international teaching reputation over decades who raced through the 5 stages in his short lifetiby the time they are in stage 5. me, burst through international boundaries of culture, race, and business, and explosively CREATED Even a fully developed and mature martial arts a new martial arts system that has literally changed master absolutely reveres the ones who CREATE a cultures. Bruce Lee arrived at a critical point in history, being the first martial great martial art.
James Neiman, whom his students call “Sensei James�, was born in 1964 and raised in Fremont, California. From the age of 7 he became deeply fascinated with martial arts. His lifelong journey of martial arts training began in 1978 with a serious and long-term study of Tae Kwon Do and several subsequent martial arts, continued with his evolution into a professional martial artist through the study of Aikido that began in 1995, and culminated with the evolution and founding of his own martial art, Shugyo Aikido, in 2013. Grandmaster Neiman was inducted into the International Martial Arts Hall of Fame in 2013, in recognition of a lifetime of continuous development, achievement, creativity, and leadership in martial arts. He was also inducted into the USA Martial Arts Hall of Fame on May 17, 2014, as Original System Founder / Grandmaster of the Year JUNE/2014

Flexibility Training Part I

Juan Hombre Sensei,
A story of courage and passion By: Antonio FernĂĄndez Rioja
In order to accurately represent Sensei, I will proceed to detail how he appeared in my life. I met Sensei about 20 years ago at a gym in Madrid, Spain. In that time I was training Karate, and following my class, I went to the weight room to lift weights. Soon after, Sensei appeared in his wheelchair (he had recently been in his car accident), and I witnessed in awe how he lifted himself up from the wheelchair and into the leg press. He couldn’t move his lower train, but he would remain there, concentrated as if he was in fact able to move the weights with his legs. Somewhat in shock, I asked him what was that he was doing. With assurance, he looked at me, explained about his car accident and told me that one day he would walk again. By the next day, he had gained a new student in his class. That was me. Unfortunately, I could only train with him for a month before I had to go to the USA for work, losing all contact with him. Fifteen years later, I began having very strong recollections about Sensei and wondering what had become of him. So I began to search the internet. I was stunned to find a lot of negative things about the man, and very few positive. Was it him, the same master I once knew? How could he have changed so much? 44
I decided to write him an email, which he replied to right way. The following weekend, I visited his dojo in the mountains with a couple of friends, and it was a full weekend of very intense training. I got back home so sore from it that I couldn’t even get out of my vehicle. I found, however, a great martial arts master and some marvelous training mates that weekend. Since then, it has been six years of continuous training under Master Hombre. Juan Hombre Sensei was born in Negreira (Galicia) in the year 1956. His trajectory in the martial arts has been vertiginous, since this has been his life. He lives by and for the martial arts. He has studied and practiced various disciplines, but Ninjutsu has always been his greatest passion. In 1987, he experienced a miserable car accident that would drastically change his life, an event of extreme harshness for a person like him. Against all odds, he fought to be able to walk again and cast aside his wheelchair. Little by little, step by step, he returned to the world of martial arts. Since then, Master Hombre’s students have won
more than seventy world martial arts titles and eight hundred titles in Spain. Master Hombre has developed two systems of his own. Each of them with a rich and well-structured learning program: JAPAN NINJUTSU AND TAISHINDO. JAPAN NINJUTSU: Hombre Sensei has been searching the essence of Ninjutsu through various masters in Japan over a span of more than twenty-five years: Hatsumi Sensei, Higuchi Sensei, Yunoki Sensei, Kiyomoto Sensei, Zhenga Sensei, Ukita Sensei, and Kawakami Soke and maintains relationships with other descendant figures of ninja, like those of the Momochi family. In 1999, after a visit of several months in Japan, where he stayed in Kawakami Soke’s residence, Mr. Hombre decided to found JAPAN NINJUTSU, an independent organization for the preservation and re-establishment of traditional Shinobi-jutsu, their way of life, history, culture and tradition. In the year 2005, Hombre Sensei was baptized as ONBURE DONO (Great Warrior of the Spirit), JUNE/2014

and in 2008, Kawakami Soke presented him with the Densho Ten No Maki and ennobled him as Doshi (Fellow On The Path).
su as a path of personal improvement that must be carried out in nature. This makes the training exhausting, but full of excitement.
Juan Hombre Sensei’s Ninjutsu and Bujutsu is distinctly different from what is familiar to most. It is a Bujutsu from the battlefield, very aggressive, dynamic and fast. Japan Ninjutsu’s program is vast and infinite, and you will learn Atemi-Jutsu, Koppo-jutsu, Yawara-Jutsu, Batto-jutsu, Shinobiken-jutsu, and Kaginawa-jutsu (to name a few), as well as Japanese history and culture, strategy, usage of tools, field survival and medicinal plants - for Sensei, Ninjutsu is the art of survival and adaptation.
TAISHINDO® is the other discipline developed by Hombre Sensei. Taishindo is a modern self-defense and combat system that constantly evolves and improves upon itself, yet always stays true to its base program and foundational learning milestones.
Further more, Sensei’s philosophy is something I loved, due to the fact that he understands Ninjut-
Within the TAISHINDO system, there are several specialized programs that offer each collective a highly functional training and learning experience: Taishindo Kenpo, Taishindo Law Enforcement, Military Taishindo. Each strive for a professional system adapted and geared towards different ages, occupations, skill sets, and the challenges of each
The military and law enforcement TAISHINDO® program was developed by Master Juan Hombre in 1995, upon receiving a petition from the Spanish armed forces to prepare a specialized instruction and drilling program for the BRIPAC, the Spanish elite parachute brigade. After the success of this first venture, he received a request to develop an alternate program for the military police and upon its completion, the development of an exclusive program for the penitentiary police force. The three divisions mentioned above formed in these first years (1995-96) a versatile and eclectic tactical system of self-defense geared towards the Spanish ARMED FORCES. They strived for a simple, effective and above all “OPERATIONAL” methodology that was exclusively geared toward the TACTICAL needs of an operative, remaining precise and relevant. The general layout of this technical program is divided around the study of the following disciplines: POLICE INTERVENTION (Dissuasions-Reductions-Control-Extractions) HANDCUFFING-MANEUVERS (Handcuffs-Trifold-Zip ties-Type) KOBUDO TACTICAL (Baton-Kubotan-PR24-Tonfa-Improvised street weapons) FIREARMS (Active shooter-High risk enviroments-Retentions) HAND-TO-HAND COMBAT (Holds-Vital points-Chokes-submmisions-MMA) URBAN COMBAT (CQB-CQC-CSF-CSI) Close Quarter Battle Close Quarter Combat Close Street Combat Close Security Intervention
