WELCOME TO THE WORLD COMBAT ACADEMY SCHOOL OF MARTIAL SCIENCE

THROUGH A DEDICATED SYSTEMATIC AND INTENSIVE MARTIAL ARTS PROGRAM, OUR MARTIAL ARTS SCHOOL IS KNOWN FOR DEVELOPING INTRINSIC MOTIVATION LEADING TO GREATER INTERNAL LOCUS OF CONTROL, THEREBY ENHANCING SELF EFFICACY PHYSICALLY, MENTALLY, AND SPRITUALLY.

OUR “EVICENCE BASED” PROGRAMING IS GUARANTEED IF FIDELITY OF THE PROGRAM IS MAINTAINED I.E. EACH INDIVIDUAL STUDENT MUST ATTEND A MINIMUM OF TWO LESSONS PER WEEK, APPLY WHAT HE/SHE HAS LEARNED, AND COMPLETES THE REQUIREMENTS FOR ADVANCEMENT IN HIS/HER BELT RANK.

THE PURPOSE OF THIS MANUAL IS TO REINFORCE EARLIER INSTRUCTION AND TESTING THAT WAS DISSEMINATED BY A CERTIFIED COMBA-TAI INSTRUCTOR. THIS BOOK SHOULD NEVER BE USED AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR QUALIFIED MARTIAL ARTS INSTRUCTION.

Comba-Tai Karate-Do-Kempo The concept of Comba-Tai dates back over thousands of years and has its roots in Africa and Asia. Its principles are built on the fact that all styles of fighting have a purpose and a place in combat, and that there is no one style that is dominant, but that they all have their attributes. Before there were systems and styles there was fighting in its purest form. There was no difference between boxing, wrestling, or karate in the arena of combat. You simply used what abilities you had to acquire the victory. We teach basic and advanced fighting skills in the areas of striking, grappling, pressure points, joint manipulation, fitness, weapons, and healing. We have a wealth of instructors in Comba-Tai that range from Kempo, Taekwondo, Judo, Jiu-Jitsu, Hopkido, Capoeira, Thai boxing (Yaw-Yan), Boxing, Wrestling, Tai-Chi-Kwon, Shotokan, GoJu and Shaolin Praying Mantis. We have been fortunate to have trained with these instructors, all of which have benefited and contributed to the teachings of Comba-Tai. There are several branches of the Combat Academy. We are the Dragon-Knights or Southern Warriors branch headed by Grand Master Professor Garreth e. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rickâ&#x20AC;? Barber CSD 9th Degree Black Belt, Grand Master Professor Tellias Saucier Jr. CSD 9th Degree Black Belt, and Grand Master Mark Page II CSD 8th Degree Black Belt. Although many martial arts claim to teach sport mixed martial arts, we at the Combat Academy put more emphasis on techniques that will help in an actual physical altercation. It is not our intention to claim that our system is better than any other, but instead to use our skills to better our students, instructors, and the world. Comba-Tai History Archeological findings in the fertile crescent of Mesopotamia tell us that there existed martial systems in this land under those who knew themselves as Kushites (but sometimes called themselves by the name of the cities they built such as Summer, Akkad and Chaldea). There is also evidence of this martial art system in another land of Kushites who were the ancestors of the Pharaohs of the 25th Dynasty Egypt. We find descriptions of this ancient martial art on the tombs of Egypt at Beni Hassan. It was probably practiced by the ancient Pharaohs and his armies. The martial art was taught to them by the Medjay Bomani of the Kushite Empire. In modern parlance the titles Medjay or Bomani would translate Combat Specialist. It is believed that this ancient martial art made its way into India through Buddiharma and it arrived in China. However we find that the Shang dynasties (who were described as Kushites by the Chou dynasty) also introduced martial arts to Asia. The Kushite lineage of Asia is verified by the National Academy of Sciences,(the product of the Chinese Human Genome Diversity project, a consortium of seven major research groups in the People's Republic of China), and the Human Genetics Center at the University of Texas at Houston. It was funded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China. This is the basis of the system we call Comba-Tai. Comba-Tai has it's origins in African Dynasties and Asian Dynasties; hence it is referred to by the linguistic term, Afro-Asiatic Martial Arts. We find that the Kushites erected great empires on the plains of the Sudan. These Kingdoms were known as Alwa, Nobadia and Makuria. The warriors these kingdoms fought under the symbol of the Sword and Shield and were both reverenced and feared by all nations. Yet, the Greeks from the Hellenistic period spoke of them as "the most just of men." The influence of African Martial Arts can also be seen in the Greek Martial Art of Pancrase, which was widely used by the Gladiators of old time. It is similar to Comba-Tai in method and tactics.

Our 3rd Grand Royal Patriarch; Soke, Universal Sovereign Grand Master Dr. Alonzo M. Jones was taught a military system of fighting by his grandfather, Dr. Samuel Adams Jones at a young age in New Orleans, Louisiana. Dr. S. A. Jones died in 1994 at 98 years of age. Dr. S.A. Jones bestowed the birth right upon Alonzo M. Jones after receiving his D.Min degree from Eternal Word Graduate School, making Dr. Alonzo M. Jones the soul heir and Sovereign Grand Master of an Order descendent of the Knights of Ethiopia called the Knights of Saint Anthony (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order of_St._Anthony), The Royal Order of the Sword and Shield. Grand Master Alonzo Jones started studying many other styles of martial arts after joining the military and because of his earlier martial arts training as a child with his grandfather, Alonzo picked up on techniques easily. He began to study Shaolin Kempo, boxing, Jujitsu, Judo, Iado/Kenjutsu, Kajukembo, Kick Boxing, Taekwondo, Goju Sabudo-Kai Karate-Do, Arnis De Mano and Capoera from various Instructors and was awarded the rank of Black Belt in several styles and the rank of Grand Master 10th Dan Red Belt in Goju Sabudo-Kai by O’Sensei Jesus Sanchez in 2009. In his earlier years while in the Air Force, he became Texas State Karate Champion, the PhilAm Champion (Philippine/American), Asian World Full No-Holds Bared Championships, Pacific Boxing Champion and Inter-Service Pacific Wide Martial Arts Champion in 1983. In 1984 he trained and lead a team of Air Force Black Belts to fight in the Pacific Wide Inter-Service Martial Arts Championships who won the team competition. He also won 1st place in weapons Kata and Kumite in the 1984 Inter-Service Pacific Wide Martial Arts Championships. These experiences led him to found the system of Kempo Comba-Tai. Because this style of African Martial art was devised in America and many of the African names for techniques lost in the passage of time; Dr. Alonzo M. Jones called the cultural tradition handed down to him by his grandfather, Comba-Tai. Comba-Tai was taken from two words, Comba and Tai. COMBA is taken from the French word Combattere which means to contend or STRUGGLE. TAI is taken from a Chinese word that means GRAND. Thus, Comba-Tai translates the THE GRAND STRUGGLE. Through this system he claimed the monogenesis of humanities' common warrior lineage. He concluded that understanding our common unity should influence warriors everywhere to help the world in the struggle for peace. When Dr. Jones’ Grandfather died, he became the sole heir of the ancient system of the Sword and Shield. He has passed his knowledge on to a select few. Dr. Alonzo M. Jones tells us, "The challenge of modern warriors is to help others with the light God has given them." Dr. Jones started teaching free of charge at Keesler Air Force Base in Biloxi, Mississippi in the early 1980”s. One of his first and most famous students is Grand Master Professor Robert D. Parham Jr. Grand Master Parham aka “Too Sweet” as he was known for his allusive movement, fast hands and phenomenal kicking techniques, won world championship titles in light, middle, and heavyweight sparring divisions and was the WKKC Light Heavyweight Full Contact Karate Kickboxing Champion. This phenomenal Martial Artist in turn trained Grand Master Rick Barber, Grand Master Tellias Saucier Jr., and Grand Master Mark Page II. There were several other disciplines of Martial Artist at Grand Master Parham’s Dojo; from Hapkido to Tae Kwon Do, Shotokan, and Grappling instructors. PAGE IV

Under the teaching of this great Martial Artist, Grand Master Barber, Grand Master Saucier, and Grand Master Page Jr. learned and in turn shared this art with others and currently run schools on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Those developed in the Way of Comba-Tai should exude the character of Strength, Humility and Love while possessing fierce fighting skills of Strength, Timing Agility and Resourcefulness. Most of us were military medics and therefore considered ourselves protectors of the human family. It is these characteristics that define our commitment to replicating ourselves though our students to contribute to society.â&#x20AC;? Dr. Alonzo M. Jones, Soke.

How To Tie Your Karate Belt

PAGE IX

Start by holding the label end of the belt across your abdomen, in front of you. It should hang a couple of inches longer than the length you want the belt to be when it is tied. Wrap the other end of the belt behind you and around your waist.

Wrap the belt around your waist a second time while maintaining the position of the label end of the belt.

Tuck the non-label end of the belt under both layers and up. Pull both ends to tighten the knot. The label end of the belt should still be on your left side.

Fold down the non-label end of the belt.

Tuck the label end of the belt under the other end and over to your right side.

Loop the label end of the belt around the other end and through the knot.

Pull to tighten the knot. If the belts ends are not the same length, untie the knot and adjust the length.

WORLD COMBAT ACADEMY PARENT POINTERS

Being a Karate Parent You can help coach your child to Black Belt success by: 



1) Always complimenting your child after class. Children should always associate karate with feelings of success and pride. 2) Be there to watch your child up to 75% of the time. Get involved, be your child’s No. 1 fan and cheer leader. Attend belt ceremonies, bring friends and family, your child has worked hard, celebrate with them. 3) Try to avoid being a drop off parent. It’s a well known fact that kids who drop out of karate typically have parents who don’t take the time to get involved. 4) Getting into a regular schedule as much as possible so children can mentally prepare for class straight after school. Leave the TV off after school, especially before karate. 5) Leading by example. Eat healthy, drink water, have a positive attitude. Deal with stress and challenges the same way you would like your child to. Remember, it takes a village to raise a child.

COMBAT ACADEMY STUDENT CODE OF CONDUCT The Dojo is the place where we train. It is important to respect the Dojo and observe the following rules: 1. Dojo means 'A Sacred Place'; treat it as such. 2. Do not wear shoes on the Dojo training area. 3. No drugs, cigarettes or alcohol are permitted in or within site of the Dojo. 4. Do not enter the Dojo late or leave it early without the acknowledgement of the highest rank in attendance. 5. Do not swear or use disrespectful gestures or breach any rules as determined by the highest rank. 6. Always train with 'true' attitude of Comba-Tai. 7. Never abuse fighting skill, always fight defensively and use these skills to assist lower ranks. 8. Always be clean in body smell and appearance. 9. Bow upon entering or leaving the training area of the Dojo. This includes entering and leaving the mat. 10. Always address your seniors by their proper titles (Mr., Ms., Sensei, Master, Grand Master, or Professor) 11. Students are to line up in order of rank from left (highest rank) to right (lowest rank), standing opposite the instructor (rank is indicated by belt color and seniority of training time). 12. Black belts are to line up in order of rank. 13. Within the black belt hierarchy, grade (Dan) ranking primarily designates seniority. However, where two black belts are of the same rank, the one with the longest time in grade or longest time training at this institution is considered the higher rank. 14. Higher ranked belts should endeavour to set a good example to lower ranked students and assume responsibility for the behaviour and conduct of lower ranked students. PAGE XIII

KYU BELT RANKS OF COMBA-TAI KARATE-DO-KEMPO HISTORY OF THE BELT RANK SYSTEM In Japanese martial arts, KYU-level practitioners hold the ranks below DAN or Black Belt. The Kyū ranking system varies from art to art and school to school. In some arts, all the kyū-level practitioners wear white belts while in others different colored belts, tags or stripes are used; in Kendo and Aikido there are not usually external indicators of grade. Although some aikido schools do use a colored belt system the norm is for kyū grades to wear a white belt, and for dan grades to wear a Black Belt. Kyū-level practitioners are often called Mudansha (無段者?), "ones without dan" and are considered as initiates rather than students. When practitioners have reached the ranking of first degree Black Belt, they become Shodansha (初段者?). The holder of a Black Belt of any degree is an Yūdansha (有段者?), "one with dan". A belt symbolizes the dignity and the sacrifice of the student’s efforts. Beginners wear a white belt. Over time and through evaluation and testing, students progress through the belt colors. Some belt levels have stripes to represent a higher level in that particular belt rank. Upon receiving a Black Belt, students start a different journey. A journey of mastery and spreading the Martial Arts.

BLACK BELT RANKS OF COMBA-TAI KARATE-DO-KEMPO THE HISTORY OF THE “BLACK BELT” In martial arts, the Black Belt is a way to describe a graduate of a field where a practitioner's level is often marked by the color of the belt. The black belt is commonly the beginning of the expert ranks and denotes a degree of competence. It is often associated with a teaching grade though frequently not the highest grade or the "EXPERT" in public perception. It is also a relatively recent invention, dating from the late 19th century, rather than an ancient custom. The systematic use of belt color to denote the rank was first used by Kano Jigoro, the founder of Judo, who first devised the colored belt system using Obi (belt or sash), and awarded the first black belts to denote a Dan rank in the 1880s. Initially the wide obi was used; as practitioners trained in kimono, only white and black obi were used. It was not until the early 1900s, after the introduction of the Judogi (Gi or Uniform), that an expanded colored belt system of awarding rank was created. Other martial arts later adopted the custom or variation on it (e.g. using colored sashes) to denote rank including in arts that traditionally did not have a formalized rank structure. This kind of ranking is less common in arts that do not claim a far eastern origin, though it is used in the Marine Corps Martial Arts Program. Rank and belts are not equivalent between arts, styles, or even within some organizations. In some arts, a Black Belt is expected in three years, while in others ten years may be common. Testing for black belt is commonly more rigorous and more centralized than for lower grades For Comba-Tai, a student must be recommended by at least two 3rd degree Black Belts or above in order to test for Black Belt. A written letter must be presented to the counsel from the 2 instructors with their recommendation and the reasons why this candidate is recommended to test. Any Grand Master may spot promote a student to any rank (including Black Belt or higher) at his/her judgment. All Black Belt candidates must write a two page essay on the subject chosen by the instructor, to be turned in on the day of Black Belt testing. Testing is a privilege, not a right and are up to the instructor. A Black Belt must maintain a level of professionalism in all that they do. A Black Belt may be revoked by a counsel of Masters (2 or more) or a single Grand Master in the Combat Academy if that individual does anything that is considered unethical by the leadership, either in class or out of class. By testing or accepting/receiving any rank at or above Black Belt level, you agree to all the before mentioned. Any persons ranked by World Combat Academy or any others, must be given authority by the World Combat Academy counsel of Grand Masters to teach Kempo Comba-Tai or use any kata’s or testing material (this book as a whole) from this curriculum. By accepting the any rank of Black Belt (1st-9th Dan) from World Combat Academy, you agree to these terms in their entirety.

All ranks are equivalent to academic degrees together with a thesis and dissertations from Shihan to above. The degree can only be awarded from a degree granting institution and recognized by the Hanshi of the System. *Required years can be amended by the Hanshi level of the system. Each Dan that is promoted to 9th degree or higher is automatically awarded the title of Hanshi. It is not an honorary title itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an earned title through the establishment or heading of schools and the promotion and mentoring of at least 3 Combat Specialist that themselves have established or run school. ** A promotion to the Dan ranks does not necessarily mean the award of a title. In Comba-Tai titles must be awarded by Hanshi with the exception of Sempai (Senior Student). This can be awarded by the Sensei of a particular class. Titles are representative of instructors that are over schools or divisions of schools. The title implies his or her responsibility over a number of Black Belts and brown belts under their command. Kyoshi (8th Dan) implies the mentoring and promotion of at least 5 black belts and 1 to master. Shihan (7th Dan) and above imply the mentoring and promotion of at least 3 Black Belts. Renshi (5th Dan) implies the mentoring and promotion of at least 1 Black Belt Sempai is senior student in the class and is the only title that can be awarded by the Sensei in charge of the class.

Typically the 10th degree Traditionally a Black Belt with 10 red stripes on left side, solid RED with Gold stripes on left side or a solid gold belt.

1. What level is considered an instructor in Comba-Tai? Comba-Tai is unique from all other arts in that we do not train students; we train instructors. Even a third month white belt can assist a peer in proper early blocking and stance techniques under the watchful eye of the instructor. In Comba-Tai, a purple-belt (intermediate rank) is expected to begin leading regular elements of class, such as warm up and stretching. A brown belt student is generally considered to be at the instructor-level: qualified and certified to lead a class in the Sensei's absence under the title "Senior Student/Sempai or Assistant Instructor," however, a certified Black Belt instructor must take final responsibility for the class and not the assistant

instructor. While all Comba-Tai students ranked purple or higher must have occasional opportunities to hone their instructor skills, "permanent" assistant instructor positions may be given to exemplary students under 18 with the title Sempai or Di-Sempai. In Comba-Tai, you may attain rank or responsibility at any level, however, the hidden teachings sect of CombaTai is a completely different world, complete with its own rank structure. 2. What is the Okuden?

The Okuden is taken from a Japanese word for hidden teachings. The hidden meaning in the Okuden comes to us from Egypt and the Kushite Empire. The Ancient Egyptians called their vast learning in Science, mathematics, architecture, masonry, linguistics, agriculture, literature, medicine and martial science the mystery system. In the 7th Chapter and the 22nd verse of the ancient manuscript called “Acts”, it tells us that a young Egyptian prince known as “Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians and was mighty in words and in deeds.” By definition, wisdom is the understanding of what is true and right and often is hidden until one is enlightened about its mysteries. Often wisdom is hidden from our dark world, hence the term Mystery System/Okuden. Our hope in the Okuden is to make all of our instructor pupils mighty in words and deed by truths they may not know. Kemet or Ta-merry was the center of learning for this ancient knowledge. People from all over the Mediterranean came to study in their Mystery Schools. The Greek philosophers were students or had some contact with the students of the Egyptian institutions of learning. The Greeks who learned the ancient teachings of science, mathematics, astronomy, medicine, masonry, etc. were considered enemies of the state of Athens and were imprisoned exiled, or put to death. Hence, The Egyptian Mystery System was a Secret Order, and membership was gained by initiation and a pledge to secrecy. It was never to hide a secret; it was to protect free and unhampered Education. The same idea of secrecy for protection was carried into the Underground Railroad during the horrible days of slavery. The early Underground Railroad was composed of Christians who were sworn to secrecy against what they mistakenly thought was the Antichrist (So called Christian Slave Holders). Thus the pyramid on the dollar bill was representative of the early Egyptian Idea of protection. Contrary to popular belief it had nothing to do with modern masonry.

PAGE XX

Actually the Egyptians believed that during creation there arose a hill out of the sea of chaos to create dry land. The symbolism here is clear â&#x20AC;Ś that out of troubles a mountain should rise. Mountains in the mist of water were always an ancient symbol of protection. Need we say more? What are the criteria for being chosen to enter the Okuden?

Only a Combat Specialist can make an evaluation for coming into the Okuden. This evaluation must be sent to the Negusa Negastâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s or the Negus e-mail address or mailed to their home address or schools. There a brief bio should follow their nomination. Criteria for selection to Okuden: Loyalty, Integrity, Service before Self, Excellence in all one does, creative ability, determination and Meekness. These seven character traits should be written in the bio.

COMBAT SPECIALIST The Combat Specialist ranks are reserved for the elite of the elite. Although a rank above third dan can be achieved without being a Combat Specialist of Comba-Tai, it is rare. A full history of the Combat Specialist can be found on page 152.

Combat Specialist Didaskalos (CSD) -- CSD is a phrase that identifies a master teacher of the Order of Knights of the Sword and Shield. The word Didaskalos is a Greek word that identifies a teacher that is a master in the skills of learning. Ancient teachers earned this title by creating their own following. In this regard Combat Specialist are traditionally given this rank when they conduct their own schools

and have their own students, added literature and videos or some innovation to our library of learning which has inspired students to progress and excel into instructors.

Titles of the Royal Warrior Family of Comba-Tai (ROYAL EDICT: Through the Solomonic Blood Line right of adoption, Combat Specialist (Bomani) and their immediate family which include spouse and children can legally be recognized with royal titles that are authorized by the Negusa Negast or the Grand Royal Patriarch. That is to say their children may use Ras and Le’elt on their birth certificates and as evidence of their birth right they are authorized to wear the ring until at least their 18 Birthday where they must test into the Okuden or lose their titles. However it must be remembered that in the ancient tradition of the Medjay, royalty were servants of the people and defenders of the human family. That is why our royal family is called to a devotion to Love, humility and Strength. We are never to be known as killers, but defenders and rescuers. DO NO HARM!)

Sovereign Grand Master— Dr. Alonzo M. Jones would often say in the early days of Comba-Tai. “If I dropped one of my Combat Specialist off at a desert island and if you were to return in a year it would be an Oasis.” In other words he believes Combat Specialist had the ability to make a thriving nation out of one that was depressed. His vision was that each Combat Specialist was called to be the head of their own nation in some form, that is a leader of the human family called to develop greater leaders. In ancient times a Grand Master or Sovereign Grand Master was the leader over an order of Knights. If his order assumed nation hood the Grand Master could be the leader of a state. In traditional Comba-Tai a Combat Specialist that is over divisions of the Order of the Sword and Shield are called Sovereign Grand Master or Grand Master. Our supreme leaders are the Negusa Negast and Negus and they hold the title of Universal Sovereign Grand Master as well as all Professor Emeritus that have served well.

Djan Commander or Dejazmach (“Commander or general of the Gate") -- it is taken from a traditional Ethiopian commander that was defender of the Ark of the

Covenant. To this day they are the most successful defenders in the world. No colonial force has ever been able to come close to entering the cathedral where the Ark is said to lay. Djan or Jan also translated king from ancient times. In the Royal Warrior Family of Comba-Tai, Djan is a title that depicts a General or one that has Ras Commanders under him as his students. This title is given by the Negusa Negast, Negus or Grand Royal Patriarch.

Negusa Negast – a legal royal title bestowed on the active Universal Sovereign Grand Master of the Order of the Sword and Shield. The literal translation is King of kings. The ancient Ethiopian idea of King of kings spans back to King Ezana the first Christian King in the world who lived in Ethiopia. One should not be confused that a man can occupy the office of King of kings but that he is the guardian until the true King returns in all his glory. The same is true title of Moa Anbessa Ze Imnegede Yehuda (Conquering Lion of the Tribe of Judah) which always preceded the titles of the ancient Emperors of Ethiopia. It precedes the names of Ethiopian Emperors because it was symbolic of Christ being the true leader. That is why in traditional Comba-Tai when a student bows on one knee to a Combat Specialist, the Combat Specialist motions a circle in front of his heart with his hand in affixed in the symbol of ICXC symbolizing that the student does not bow to the Combat Specialist, but to Christ.

Nigiste Nigist – In the nation of Comba-Tai Nigiste Nigist is "Empress Regnant." The literal translation is Queen of Kings. The only queen in modern times to hold this title was Empress Zewitu. The title is bestowed on the wife of the Negusa Negast or a Combat Specialist Didaskolos that has been elected Head of the Royal Order as Universal Sovereign Grand Master. If the wife has experience in Combat she is known as Kandace from the ancient line of queens that rule the Empire of Kush. The only woman to carry this title in Comba-Tai was Kandace Tracy Laidlaw who was also the Sovereign Grand Master of the Knights of Light.

Negus – is the legal royal title of King in the nation of Comba-Tai.

In the Royal Warrior

Family of Comba-Tai the Negus is elected to his position by the Combat Specialist and authorized by the proceeding Negusa Negast. The Negus is always next in line to the throne of Negusa Negast if he or She so desires.

Bitwoded—the title of Bitwoded has been in America since 1855 with George Warren the Nubian Prince that was a Knight of Saint Anthony, the son in law of Ras Yakub (James Marshall). The title is literally beloved warrior of the Emperor. In ancient time this person was the principle advisors of the emperor and commander and chief of the defenders of the Ark of the Covenant.

Ras -- In the Nation of Comba-Tai Ras is literally Prince. All males who have entered the Okuden are called Ras. A male Combat Specialist Didaskalos is called Ras Commander. Traditionally the Ras Commander was over at least two schools. They were not necessarily Sovereign Grand Masters of an Order. In ancient Ethiopia Ras Commander was known as Leul Ras. In ceremony one may use the English equivalent of the titles i.e. Prince or Prince Commander. All male children of Combat Specialist are called Ras but will lose the title on their 18th birthday if they have not entered the Okuden.

Le'elt – An Ethiopian word translates princess is a title used in the Royal Warrior Family of Comba-Tai. It is used of all females entering the Okuden. A female Combat Specialist Didaskalos is called Le’elt Commander. Traditionally the Le’elt Commander was over at least two schools. It is not uncommon for the title to be translated into English when announcing females in ceremony i.e. Princess or Princess Commander. All female children of Combat Specialist are called Le’elt but will lose the title on their 18th birthday if they have not entered the Okuden.

NATION OF COMBA-TAI GREAT HIGH COUNCIL OFFICERS Office of the Negusa Negast (female: Nigiste Negest) is CHOSEN by the reigning Negusa Negast and CALLED and sealed by the Office of Grand Royal Patriarch. The choice of Negusa Negast will most often be the Negus but must be an active Combat Specialist of 7 years. A Combat Specialist can only be removed by edict from the Office of Grand Royal Patriarch by unanimous vote after the Negusa Negast (female: Nigiste Negest) has committed in which the Negusa Negast has been accused and convicted of an action that brings shame and dishonor to the Royal Order of the Sword and Shield. If the Negusa Negast is removed, the Negus will become the new Negusa Negast until a meeting of the Office of Grand Royal Patriarch makes the final certification. In the past, the Divisions of the Order of the Sword and Shield were called Orders, this was incorrect as they were not separate but supported the Royal Order of the Sword and Shield. Thus in this proper context they should be called Division. The Divisions of the Royal Order of the Sword and Shield are appointed and removed by the Negusa Negast as his most trusted advisors on matters of their particular division. They will carry the title Sovereign Masters or Grand Masters (based on their rank) and will be called Djan Commander or Captain General of the Royal Division (Ethiopian: Dejazmach). Office of Grand Royal Patriarch can only be occupied by someone who is a former Negusa Negast or Amir of the Royal Order of the Sword and Shield with the rank of 10th Dan and Degradus 10. They are considered Elders of the Order which will comprise no more than 7 who will serve in the capacity as senior advisors to the Negusa Negast.

THE BASICS Basics are simplified moves which form the base of the art. These become the primary skills necessary to develop advanced techniques. The basics are divided into stances, blocks, punches, strikes, holds and kicks. Basics are essential throughout karate.

YELLING (KI-HAP) Yelling is used to build your internal power or (CHI), bring up your energy level and fighting spirit and scare off your opponent. Our Ki-Hap is built up by yelling OOO-SA!!

ONE STEP SELF DEFENSE/SPARRING One step self defense or sparring is a series of pre-arranged attacks, blocks, and counter attacks alternately exchanged between two partners and simultaneously performed in a one step movement. The main purposes of one step self defense sparring is to develop judgment of distance, to learn control, and to learn how to attack your opponents weak/vital points.

SELF DEFENSE A student learns how to free himself/herself from grabs or holds by working against their attackers power and vulnerable points. The action must be decisive and must be a â&#x20AC;&#x153;FIGHT ENDINGâ&#x20AC;? technique which involves minimal ground defense.

UNIFORM or GI Description and definitions:

The Black Belt Sword and Shield Patch was formed in 1988 by former Negusa Negast Sovereign Grand Master Professor Emeritus Jason “Apollos” Laidlaw with the approval of Dr. Alonzo M. Jones who allowed him to use his artistic expertise to configure the following Christian symbols and colors into the following patch:

4. 5.

7. 8.

E6-12—Verse from the Bible Ephesians 6:12, “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” ICXC--a Christogram used traditionally by the ancient knights traditionally used as a Christian symbol. It is a Greek abbreviation for the name Eashoa Msheekhah (Jesus Christ) which Eashoa' means, "The Life-Giver." Msheekha means, "The Anointed One." Eashoa' Msheekha: The Anointed Life-Giver. Traditionally in CombaTai the division of the Knights of Light would use the hand symbol in a circle and stopping in the middle of that symbol at the forehead. The Combat Specialist however would use the symbol at the heart symbolizing that their knowledge had advanced from simply finite cognitive to infinite spiritual. It is declared, other symbols on the patch may perish but ICXC is the most important. Yin and Yang—while not a Christian Symbol; it indicates our martial art heritage in that we recognize balance. We do not agree that light is opposite of darkness. To be opposite darkness would have to be equal to light. According to theology and modern physics, light is the only constant in the universe and therefore has no opposite. In keeping with the Knights of Saint Anthony the Yin and Yang is used as a shield i.e. the symbol of the Shield of faith, Ephesians 6:17 “In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.” Sword—the sword on the patch is an ancient symbol of the Knights of Saint Anthony. Wreath—The patch has the symbol of a wreath in Rome they were symbols of martial victory hence we used it on the patch as a symbol of performance in sport martial arts. It is taken from Ephesians 6:17“Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.” The Color Gold: The Color Gold in the patch implies the process of refinement that all Combat Specialist must endure to be refined: When Gold is exposed to elevated heat; genuine gold is removed from substandard qualities and comes out pure Gold. Job 23:10 “Because he knows the road on which I travel, when he had tested me, I'll come out like gold.” The Color Black: The patch includes this color as a symbol of the void from which all things were created. The Color Purple: Purple dye was produced from a particular sea shell found in the eastern Mediterranean, and was therefore very expensive. In ancient time it was associated with divine power and authority. The Knights believe there was no power superior to God’s. To this day purple is used in the Knightly Orders as our royalty through Eashoa. The Order today has a badge consisting of an Ethiopian cross in royal blue and edged with a gold rim, and surmounted by a gold Imperial Ethiopian crown. The Order is in two grades: the Knight Grand Cross, and Companion.

Combat Academy School Patch image below: The Dragon Knight Division of the Royal Order of the Sword and Shield patch worn on left chest of gi.

1. 2.

The image saluting in the top left is the “Subdued Salute” given to referee when called to “Bow to me” or Sensei ni rei (“bow to sensei”):. Sword extended to the top right is referred to as the “Ready Salute” which is given to an opponent when referee “signals bow to each other,” or Otagai ni rei (“bow to the others”). When the warrior proclaims the salutes on this patch he identifies himself with the chosen people, hires according to the promise of Abraham a ROYAL PRIEST HOOD (Galatians 3:29, 1 Peter 2:9) that will forever offer the love of Eashoa Msheekhah (Jesus Christ) to the world. The image kneeling with shield in left hand and sword in right, bottom middle is the Night of the Order of the sword and Shield saluting in the “Kneeling Subdued Bow,” kneeling in humility and honor to the elders of those that out rank him Shomen ni rei (“bow to shomen”--front). This is not an act of worship but a salute of a mighty warrior “Just trying to stay humble.” When the Negusa Negast or elders return the salute they do so with the hand symbol of ICXC in a circle and then humbly bow in the Subdued Sword and Shield themselves. The hand symbol of ICXC symbolizes that the Negusa Negast or Elders are to be followed as long as they strive with integrity to be Eashoa’s example of Agape to all the families of the earth.

Above is the hand symbol moved in a circle at the level of the heart.

KATA (Forms of Meditation) The katas of Comba-Tai Karate-Do-Kempo are essentially a series of movements that depict actual fighting. They are also considered the first low impact aerobic dance as the Katas were intended as an aerobic workout. Kata’s are aerobic because they were intended to be a rhythmic movement that uses the large muscle groups for 20 minutes or more. Understanding the Shu Ha Rhi (i.e. basics, application and creativity) of Kata will train the mind and body for actual combat. We believe that Shu Ha Rhi leads to efficient practical application of battle field or street reaction time. However, the most important aspect of kata is to train mind and body into a state of heighten awareness and performance neuroscientist call the Alfa State. This leads to elevated and efficient energy transfers in mind and body. In Comba-Tai we recognize two phases of meditation, i.e. Static and Dynamic. The highest form of meditation is dynamic. Comba-Tai Karate-Do-Kempo emphasizes kata as the highest form of meditation. The katas of Comba-Tai Karate-Do-Kempo are essentially a routine of movements that simulate fighting techniques. Other systems believe that kata will enable you to develop different techniques and train one for actual fighting. We hold truth to this, but we also believe that kata mentally prepares us for battle. We see kata as a pragmatic form, not essentially just as a practical form. While performing kata, one should be in a heightened physical, mental, and spiritual state of mind. 

Dynamic training: involves fluid movement, usually carefully choreographed, coordinated with breath and awareness. Examples include the slow stylized movements of T'ai chi ch'uan. Other examples include graceful movement that mimics the motion of animals in Five Animals, White Crane, and Wild Goose (Dayan) Qigong.



Static training: involves holding postures for sustained periods of time. In some cases this bears resemblance to the practice of Yoga and its continuation in the Buddhist tradition. For example Yiquan, a Chinese martial art derived from xingyiquan, emphasizes static stance training. In another example, the healing form Eight Pieces of Brocade (Baduanjin qigong) is based on a series of static postures.  Qigong (Pinyin), ch'i kung (Wade-Giles), and chi gung are English words for two Chinese characters: qì (氣) and gōng (功).  Qi (or chi) is usually translated as life energy, lifeforce, or energy flow, and definitions often involve breath, air, gas, or relationship between matter, energy, and spirit.[7] Qi is the central underlying principle in traditional Chinese medicine and martial arts. Gong (or kung) is often translated as cultivation or work, and definitions include practice, skill, PAGE XXIX

mastery, merit, achievement, service, result, or accomplishment, and is often used to mean gongfu (kung fu) in the traditional sense of achievement through great effort. (see MDBG dictionary entry) The two words are combined to describe systems to cultivate and balance life energy, especially for health.[1] 

Although the term qigong (氣功) has been traced back to Taoist literature of the early Tang Dynasty (618-907 AD), the term qigong as currently used was promoted in the late 1940s through the 1950s to refer to a broad range of Chinese self-cultivation exercises, and to emphasize health and scientific approaches, while de-emphasizing spiritual practices, mysticism, and elite lineages.[8][9][10]

COMBA-TAI KARATE-DO-KEMPO KATAS Kata is a dance and the dance of ancient warriors like David was meditation/prayer 2 Samuel 16:14. The knights of Saint Anthony of Ethiopia like many African warrior engaged in a warrior dance to heighten their efficiency in combat. Listed below are the levels of meditation we call empty hand katas. Remember a weapon is only an extension of the hand. You will learn other katas as well as the weapons katas of Comba-Tai. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9.

Kata Asha One - White Belt kata -- for us kata means mediation and Asha means “happy and life” it follows the verse (Philippians 4:8) Kata Asha Two- Yellow Belt Kata Kata Asha Three- Purple Belt kata Kata Asha Four- Green Belt Kata Hallel- “Praise” (Hebrew)* at this level we’ve learned to finally open our heart…it is a Jewish prayer Psalms 113-118. Brown Belt Kata Miyokosun- “Path of the Journeying Soul” Note* Journey on the correct path Jeremiah 6:16 Black Belt Kata Doxa- “Glory” (Greek) Note* Jn. 17.22 and I have given them Doxa. Pedagogus- “School Master” (Greek) Note* The Law was our school master until we could be made right through the power of Christ (Gala. 3:24) Ruack – “Breath or Spirit of God” (Hebrew). Note* this word depicts the power that God placed into man and he became a living soul (Gen. 2:7). The power God gave to man is unlimited and must be used in the service Eashoa (Jesus Christ) or he will restrict it (Gen. 11:6, 7). PAGE XXX

THE ACT OF BOWING All classes commence with a BOW or a salutation to the instructor. It is a show of respect to the instructor and greeting superior in rank. The salutation is also a greeting among various cadets of the Combat Academy. There are three variations of the Sword and Shield salutation.

VARIATION #1 (SWORD) This variation will be executed in a tournament or class setting. When the command is given “BOW TO EACH OTHER” or the command “CLASS RESPECT”, raise hands to chest level crisscrossing the arms. Point the left fist outward while stepping forward with the left foot. Return to the position of attention, then bow.

VARIATION #2 (SHIELD) On the command “BOW TO ME” or following the sword variation, place your right hand over the left eyebrow with palm out, face the instructor, back to attention, then bow.

VARIATION #3 (RESPECT) This is done by kneeling on left knee with right knee up, left arm at the side (in the chamber position), with right arm parallel to the ground at chest level with palm facing chest. Both hands will be in a clenched fist. This bow is done at the end of class or whenever you salute a Grand Master in Comba-Tai. You are paying respect to the Code of Sword and Shield, your instructor, and the person who is dismissing the class.

PAGE XXI

FREE SPARRING, GRAPPLING, COMBAT SPARRING. Sparring (Kumite) or grappling (Randori) is the application of all technical aspects of Comba-Tai exchanged between two or more partners. Although the term Randori may be applied to sparring or grappling, its general meaning is to engage in controlled competition whether it is stand up, grappling, or combat sparring (combination of both). Sparring will benefit you in many ways:

1. It improves endurance, balance, and flexibility. 2. It builds reflexes for quicker movement of attack and response time for defense. 3. It develops great control. Remember that your partner is not your enemy or a punching bag. Your partner is your friend, without whom you cannot acquire better technique. You must show respect and cooperation through LIGHT CONTACT and MAXIMUM CONTROL. If you are accidentally hit by your partner, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lose your temper. Losing control of yourself would be defeating your mental discipline objectives. The purpose of Light Contact and Maximum Control is to prevent injury in your scientific research. In ancient times it would have been counterintuitive to say Martial Arts (warlike skills) and not associate it with science. To understand our reasoning one must see the difference between science and art:

Art has no object. An artwork is its own object. The object of an artist is simply to communicate creative ideas or emotions through some medium such as a canvas or stage. Science's object is to establish truth by increasing the available data concerning an attribute or behavior of some entity or category of entity in the universe, or to establish a theory which can correctly predict the behavior of some entity or category of knowledge in the universe.

PAGE XXXII

Historically Comba-Tai (1981-until present) has used the word martial artist or martial arts but more accurately Comba-Tai is a martial science founded on the principles of asking questions through observation and experimentation. Historically each instructor has been taught the science of constant process improvement. Sparring is a method of asking questions through observation and experimentation. The method the Combat Specialist employs are: a. Ask Questions b. Do Background Research c. Construct a Hypothesis d. Test Your Hypothesis by Doing an Experiment e. Analyze Your Data and Draw a Conclusion f. Accept or Reject the Conclusion g. Write down your controlled variables and see if the results are reproducible. If you have problems reproducing the results of your experiment you may have missed some controlled variables. In this method if there is no control from your fellow scientist that is helping you to conduct the experiment of whether or not your techniques works, then you will get unnecessarily injured. Keep in mind that in experimentation you must allow your partner to get into a dangerous position as well as you should feel comfortable in letting your partner mount you, get your back, place you in arm bar, execute an entire leg roundhouse, right hand, hook, jab, etc. you should known he will not hurt you so you can monitor how effective your overall skills are. In this way you can prepare for being in bad positions and or defending attacks or counters, your partner can prepare for those that have mastered defending from the position or strikes. The science of striking is not getting hit and the science of grappling is not getting tapped. It may be that you cannot knock them out, but they cannot knock

you out either â&#x20AC;Ś it may be that you cannot tap them out, but they cannot tap you out either. The expertise of fighting is developing an impenetrable defense; you can only do this by control sparring. Note*the mastery of fighting, however, is being able to apply a technique even though and expert opponent (1st Dan â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 2nd Dan) knows what you are going to do and yet they cannot stop you. That is what separates a master (4th Dan and above) from an expert of fighting.

4. All sparring or grappling will be supervised by a qualified Comba-Tai instructor or assistant instructor. Every student must be familiar with and adhere to the rules of sparring and grappling.

If a Combat Instructor is unable to complete these annual requirements due to illness, written documentation from a physician must be provided as to the condition and reason. Although this documentation is provided, it is not a guarantee that the board will agree with the written physicianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opinion. Each case will be decided upon individually by the Counsel of Masters. The CI may still attend class, but not in a teaching capacity and they will not be eligible promotion until they are within standards. For an inactive Combat Instructors who has not taught or participated in classes over the past year, a preliminary CI PRT may be given to gauge where this instructor is physically. If they are unable to complete the test successfully, they are allowed up to/not to exceed 6 months to retest and be recertified back to instructor status. Combat Instructors age 51 and above are exempt from taking the PRT. They are however to adhere to the same standards of appearance while in uniform (Gi). All physical disabilities will be considered for permanent wavers by the Council of Masters.

FALLING AND ROLLING EXERCISE Fall breaking is employed to prevent injury and minimize the pain when a student falls or is thrown by an opponent. Fall breaking includes front, back, right, and left break falls, and a forward roll break fall. In addition to being a basic component of throwing techniques, fall breaking is also a fundamental part of all ground or grappling techniques, and is therefore of the highest importance. Break fall drills begin gently and from low postures (usually a squatting position for beginners) , and are gradually performed faster and from higher postures. Finally, they are performed during actual movement.

f BASIC BACK FALL: Begin with the both arms extended forward at shoulder height. Go into a crouching posture and fall backwards onto your rounded back with both arms on the mat. To prevent impact shocks to the head at this time, raise the head forward as if looking at your belt.

Side break fall BASIC SIDE FALL: Step forward with the left leg and extend the right arm outward from the side at shoulder height. Advance the right foot as if swept out by a foot sweep. Allow the foot to continue upward, following through with right arm while falling sideways. Bend the left leg at the knee, and strike the mat with the right arm to dissipate the impact, with the knees bent and feet kept between you and the uke/attacker.

Forward break fall FORWARD FALL: Fall forward with the body extended and strike with both hands to dissipate the impact.

*A KATA IS A SET OF PRE-ARRANGED TECHNIQUES AND MOVEMENTS 



Kata ASHA 1 – Is the most important of the Kata’s we call the foundational Kata. Without this Kata, all other kata's cannot be fully understood. It teaches us a respect for balance and flow and it is the beginning knowledge of balance disruption while maintaining your own and causing pain or unconsciousness. This Kata is the beginning of the Alpha State or what the Samurai termed Mushin (no mind). The term No mind does not mean the absence of thought but it identifies a state of total focus where the body is boundless, hence the enlightened meaning of Karate i.e. boundless hand. The Christian should not be thrown by truths from other cultures, after all, “… God has made everything beautiful for its own time. He has planted eternity in the human heart, but even so, people cannot see the whole scope of God's work from beginning to end.” --Ecclesiastes 3:11

Asha is an African word that is translated as LIFE or HAPPY. In Comba-Tai We take both meanings i.e. HAPPY-LIFE. In CombaTai the proper answer to “What is the meaning of Asha?” is, Asha means life.

Kata Asha 2—this kata should emphasize the simplicity of movement and the beginning of speed. Ideally this kata should be done separately and with Asha 1 both slow (without kia’s) and fast with Kia’s. The idea is that all the movements should be done in a state of dynamic meditation. Note* the kata is designed to teach the brain to place the mind in the Alpha State or no mind. All Kata should evolve from a sitting position in KaeTee Meditation (sitting meditation or sitting with legs crossed and back straight leaning back against wall).

EYES ATTACK (Vision) When attacking the eyes, teach them to use a tiger claw or a cross thumb gauge. They may also use whatever items they have available as a weapon. A pencil, comb, or any hard item they have within their reach.

THROAT ATTACK (Respiration) When attacking the throat, use a tiger claw, dragon fist, or a leopard fist to attack the throat. Teach them to grab the throat with the attempt to rip it out or to push their fingers through the soft part of the throat. They may also use whatever items they have available as a weapon. A pencil, comb, or any hard item they have within their reach to attack the throat.

GROIN ATTACK (Mobility) The techniques to teach for this type of attack are either to use the knee, foot, or the grab technique. Inform them that even if the miss the central groin with a knee or a kicking strike, the damage can still be substantial if maximum force is applied in the general vicinity. a. When using the knee, teach the defender to grab the opponent and drive their knee up into the groin while at the same time pulling the attacker down into the knee. One knee strike may not be enough so teach them to do repeated strikes and then to run once the attacker has released them. b. When kicking the attacker in the groin make sure the defender understands that a kick is less effective as a knee in these types of situations. A kick requires some balance and accuracy. Although a kick can cause harm, it also requires more skill for good results. c. When grabbing the genitalia, teach them to GRAB, TWIST, and PULL. This technique causes the maximum amount of pain and even small hands can produce good results with this technique.

SHIN ATTACK We consider the area of the shins for attacking purposes from the knee to the tips of the toes. These areas may be kicked or stomped depending on the location and the situation. If wearing hard sole shoes, the defender may also scrap down the front of the attackers shins. PAGE 26

Kata Asha 4 – continues single hand combinations at close quarters. As most of the Beginner Belt Kata’s of Comba-Tai are designed to fight in close quarters.

*YOU MUST KNOW KATA ASHA HALLEL TO ADVANCE TO BROWN BELT COMBAT FIGHTER III* Kata Hallel—

Hallel translates praise. Kata Hallel is a dance of praise, that is why the movements are so wide and done slow and fast, they are met to give praise to all of God’s creation in that it tells a story of Gods creative act in our life. It also identifies Jesus creative act in us that is why in the very beginning of the Kata starts out by pointing to him and yells his name, “Eashoa.” The implication is that in all of our movement we come to understand that the warrior sends the greatest word before him that guides him. For us our guide is Eashoa which translates Jesus in Aramaic. Note*It is generally agreed by historians that the historical Jesus spoke Aramaic as was the language of his area. Ideally for the Knight is to be read Psalms 113-118, recited before, during or after the kata. You must recall that the Knights of Saint Anthony practiced the oldest form Judaism because they were associated with Beta Israel (Community of Israel) also known as the Falasha Jews of Ethiopia. Psalms 113-118 are the Hallel Psalms. This Psalm is read during holy days but especially the Passover (Pesach). We know that in the gospel account during the Passover with his Disciples that they went out to sing hymns: Matt. 26:30 and when they had song hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives. The Knights of Saint Anthony knew this to be the traditional Hallel Psalms (Psalms 113-118). These Psalms are Psalm 113 identifies the greatness of YHWH and the splendor of all His creation. He is-as quantum physics has begun to see— the Master designer with the Master Plan for you and I. Psalm 114 speaks to the journey through the wilderness. It is said in Deut. 18:18 that he will raise up a prophet “…like you…” . In Deuteronomy 34:10 Since then, no prophet has risen in Israel like Moses, whom the LORD knew face to face… No where in the bible does it claim that any one knew God face to face accept for Eashoa. At this juncture we must be reminded that There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus (Galatians 3:28). Psalm 115 suggests that nothing can be put before God. After all he is the sovereign Lord of the Universe, supreme over all. If we do this he will increase us and our children. Psalm 116 tells us that if we maintain our confidence in him he will lead and guide us. Not that he will take us out of harms way but he will lead us and keep us from stumbling thereby leading us through harm. Psalm 117 continues with us being a blessing to all the nations by proclaiming our confidence in him. Psalm 118 – Continues to proclaim the goodness of the Lord and in so should we because in verse 22 it proclaims, “The stone that the builders rejected has now become the cornerstone.” Messiah proclaimed, “Jesus looked at them and said, "Then what does this Scripture mean? 'The stone that the builders rejected has now become the cornerstone.'” -Luke 2017

HISTORY AND TERMS Kempo Karate History For thousand of years Kempo (Karate) has been practiced in Okinawa and only recently in the 20th Century it moved via a Kempo/Karate ambassador, Gichin Funakoshi, to Japan. This move was designed to introduce the art to the mainland; to further develop the art across Japan. Like all Martial Arts, Kempo Ryu can be traced back to ancient China, namely the Shaolin-ssu (Japanese: Shonin-Ji) method of boxing (Kempo). The Shao-lin-ssu method of fighting with fists, or FIST LAW (Kempo) is thought to have been invented by the Indian priest Bodhidharma, who is known in Japanese as Daruma Daishi, in the fifth or sixth century. Part of Shao-lin-ssu Kempo training involved light meditation and yoga practice, as well as the basics kicking and punching. It remains a mystery when the art of Kempo moved into Okinawa, however it is believed approximately between the years 618-906 AD during T'sang Dynasty. The inhabitants of the Ryu Kyu Islands did not receive the original style of Shao-lin-ssu Kempo. They combined a number of Chinese Kempo techniques and added their own individual skills, to form the Okinawan Karate or Okinawa-te. The people of Okinawa use the simple word of te instead of the Japanese word of Karate. When the art came to Japan from Okinawa, it was written with the meaning empty (Kara) hand ( 'te' ) - Karate. From then onward the arts of Kempo and Karate began a new revolution. It involved the practice of kicking and punching in theory - (do) and in practice - (ji tsu). It is thought that 'Tode' Sakugawa taught Sokon Matsumura who then taught most of the other great names of Okinawa being Asato, Itosu, Chibana, Kyan, and many more. From these pioneers and later their student other styles forming styles such as Shotokan, Goju, Shuri, Wado etc. Indeed Tode Sakugawa was one of the earliest known Okinawan Kempo masters who, at the age of 17, trained to study Kempo under Kusanku in China. Born in Shuri Toribori in 1733, Sakugawa was first a student of Peichin Takahara, but on his teacher's death continued his training with Kusanku, traveling many times to China. During this period he is said to have combined Ch'uan Fa and Tode to form Okinawa-te. Indeed Sakugawa left the oldest surviving kata still in use today, the Sakugawa no kun, or staff forms. He also passed down the Kusanku kata and is credited with founding the dojo kun (dojo etiquette) which is now used by most Karate dojos the world over.

PAGE 36

Sakugawa befriended a political leader on Okinawa by the name of Matsumura. At the time of his death in 1799, he asked Sakugawa to raise his three-year-old son, Sokon Matsumura, who became the most important Karate master of the mid-Meiji era (18671912). Matsumura is credited with creating all of the kata of the system that came to be called Shuri-te. Living into his 90s, he left many disciples including Yasutsune Itosu, Chotoku Kyan, Choki Motobu, Choshin Chibana. These disciples in turn produced students of Shuri-te who would go on to propagate martial arts far and wide. The most famous of these students was arguably Gichin Funakoshi, who trained under Itosu and Azato, and founded Shotokan Karate. Another famous exponent was Kanryo Higashionna. Regarded as one the most influential teachers of Okinawan Kempo, he was teacher to Chojun Miyagi � founder of Goju Ryu; Juhatsu Kyoda; Nana te; Seiuko Higa; Goju Ryu; Kenwa Mabuni, founder of Shito Ryu; Kanken Toyama, fonder of Shudokan, Tatsuo Shimabuku, fouder of Isshin Ryu. When he did his Sanchin Kata, it is said the wooden floor would be hot as a result of his gripping feet on the floor. As you can see, Kempo has aptly been described as the parent art of Karate, the art that gave birth to the other styles, thus Kempo's place in history is of significant importance. Famous quotes supporting this claim are: 'Karate needs seriously to return closer to its parent art, Kempo, for rejuvenation'. � Mas Oyama, This is Karate 1973 p.327

'Choki Motobu was said to been a master of Karate Kempo*, Why the two terms to describe his Art? The answer is simple, to inform others that Karate was a style of the Kempo* system'. � Ed Parker, Infinite Insights into Kenpo, 1982 p. 18-19 Basically, Kempo is the name that could replace the word Karate; Kempo to a Kempo person means Karate. The art of Defense, the art of fighting. In fact Kempo has its roots in full contact and the practice of extreme training to forge a better and stronger person, mentally and physically. However in stating the importance of physical training, it should also be noted that Kempo, as taught by the early masters, was a healing art too.

HISTORY AND TERMS GOJU RYU KARATE CHOJUN MIYAGI SENSEI Chojun Miyagi was born on April 25, 1888 in the city of Naha, Okinawa. He began his practice at the age of 12 with Aragaki Ryuko Sensei. Aragaki Ryuko's approach was only to teach the fighting itself and not too much emphasis was placed on the martial art. The term ‘GO’ means hard, refers to closed hand (fist) techniques or straight linear attacks; the term ‘JU’ which means soft, refers to open hand techniques and circular movements. The term ‘RYU’ means style or school. Together they form the word GOJU RYU. After seeing the dedication of Chojun Miyagi, Aragaki Ryuko decided to introduce him to Kanryo Higaonna. In 1902, at the age of 14, Chojun Miyagi Sensei started to practice with Kanryo Higaonna Sensei. At the age of 20, Chojun Miyagi became Kanryo Higaonna's top student and around that time is also when he got married. At the age of 22, he traveled to the main island of Kyushu for his military service. After 2 years of service he returned to Okinawa. For the next 3 years Kanryo Higaonna taught him privately until Kanryo Higaonna died in 1915. With his death, Chojun Miyagi decided to follow the steps of his Sensei and travel to Fuchow, China, where he learned the martial arts. In his first trip in 1915, he went to Fuchow and trained for two months with a student of Ryu Ryu Ko Sensei. The old man was very impressed with the skill of Chojun Miyagi. Chojun Miyagi went to visit the grave of Ryu Ryu Ko Sensei as well as to the temple were he trained. It was easy to see the footmarks on the patio from the training. Between 1920 and 1930 Chojun Miyagi traveled to China for the second time. This was not a productive trip because the relations between China and Japan were not good in those days. In his third trip to China, in 1936, he was able to contact the Shanghai Martial Arts Federation. This was instrumental in helping him do his research in the martial arts. In the early 20's Chojun Miyagi developed the characteristic Goju Ryu warming up exercises or Yunbi Undo with the help of a friend of his, who was a doctor. This series of exercises were based not only on martial arts fundaments but also on medical research. It iIs also around this time that Chojun Miyagi also developed the kata Tensho, and began to teach in high school in Okinawa. PAGE 38

In 1925, Chojun Miyagi, Hanashiro Chomo, Mabuni Kenwa and Motobu Choki formed the Karate Kenkyu Kai or Karate Research Club at Naha, with the idea of preserving and practicing karate with members of other lines of Te. Unfortunately the club disbanded in 1929. In 1930 Chojun Miyagi sent his top student, Jihan Shinzato, to perform a demonstration of Te at the Meiji Shrine in Tokyo. Upon his return to Okinawa, Shinzato asked his Sensei about the name of the style of karate that they practiced because a Kobudo Sensei present at the demonstration inquired the same of Shinzato. Shinzato Sensei could not answer because until then they only referred to karate as Te (hand), To (China) or Bu (martial art). Chojun Miyagi decided for the first time to call his style Goju Ryu. The meaning was extracted from the Bubishi or book of the poems where there are references to different subjects including the martial arts. The name Goju Ryu identifies the style as the style of the hardness and softness. In this way Goju Ryu became the first style of karate named. It was in 1933 when Goju Ryu was officially recorded and recognized in the Butoku Kai (the institution that groups all the martial arts in Japan) in Kyoto. The official name was recorded as Goju Ryu Karate-Do, where the meaning of the character (kanji) Karate was To (China) in recognition of origin of this martial art, and not the meaning "empty" as is in the present. In 1934, Chojun Miyagi was appointed as the representative of the Butoku Kai in Okinawa. Also in this year, Chojun Miyagi was invited to travel to Hawaii to teach karate to the Okinawans living on the island. He remained in Hawaii for 6 months. In 1937 Chojun Miyagi was honored. He received the title Kyoshigo from the Butoku Kai. This was the first time in history that somebody in karate received this honor. During World War II, Chojun Miyagi lost his top student Jihan Shinzato as well as two of his daughters. Chojun Miyagi Sensei passed away on October 8, 1953 at the age of 65.

HISTORY AND TERMS SHOTOKAN KARATE Shotokan Karate is one of the oldest and most popular styles of Karate. It was developed at the beginning of the last century by Master Gichin Funakoshi (1868-1957) from the southern Japanese island of Okinawa. Two relatively different styles - in spirit as well as in mechanics - used to exist in Okinawa in late 19th Century: Shorei-ryu and Shorin-ryu the former was designed for well built people, placed emphasis on developing physical strength and was impressive in its shear power. The latter was light and quick, with fast strikes and counterattacks, designed for people who were small in size and very agile. After years of intense study of both styles, Master Funakoshi arrived at a new understanding of martial arts, and a novel style was created, that combined the ideals of Shorei and Shorin. As in all Karate styles it is Katas, formal sequences of basic techniques, that form the backbone of the tradition. The traditional Japanese martial arts, Judo and Kendo, two of the seven traditional paths to enlightenment in Japanese classical culture, were heavily centered around combat (Kumite). Master Funakoshi instead, in the centuries old Okinawa tradition, sought a path to spiritual depth through individual technique. Thus, Shotokan initially developed as a formal style with little Kumite application, instead focusing on breathing, releasing energy and outstanding mind and body control.

Penetrating Mainland Japan In 1922, the first Karate Demonstration was held in Tokyo by Master Gichin Funakoshi and had made a powerful impression on the Japanese public. After that, Karate became very popular and spread very fast in Japan. From the beginning, Master Funakoshi insisted on teaching Karate to college students. The first Karate-do Club was in Keio University. Today, Karate-do is spread into many countries around the world. In May 1948, the Japan Karate Association (JKA) was founded by the students of Master Gichin Funakoshi, and the standards of training (Kihon, Kata, Kumite) and competition were established.

House of Pine Waves The word Shotokan is composed of three kanji characters in Japanese. The sho character is taken from the word matsu which means pine tree. To is the character for waves. Pine Waves is supposed to mean "the sound that pine trees make when the wind blows through their needles." Some people also translate this to mean the waves that pine trees seem to make visually when bending in the wind. Master Funakoshi signed his works of calligraphy with the pen name Shoto. That is where the first part of the name of this type

of karate came from. The word kan means building. The name Shotokan comes from the world's first karate dojo, which was constructed in 1939 by Funakoshi's students. They placed a plaque over the door that said "Shotokan", or "The Hall of Pine Waves", in honor of Funakoshi. This first dojo was completely destroyed in an American bombing raid on Japan in 1945.

HISTORY AND TERMS WING CHUNG KUNG FU(CHINA) MYTH 1. The oral history of the Yip Man branch of Wing Chun dates its creation to the reign of the Emperor Kangxi (1662–1722). After escaping the destruction of the Fujian Shaolin Monastery by Qing forces, the Abbess (female monk) Ng Mui fled to the distant Daliang mountains (大涼山) on the border between Yunnan and Sichuan. One day, she came upon a fight between a snake and a crane (or other animal). She took the lessons she learned from observing the fight between the two animals and combined them with her own knowledge of Shaolin kung fu to create a new style. Ng Mui often bought her bean curd at the tofu shop of Yim Yee (嚴二). Yim Yee had a daughter named Yim Wing-Chun (嚴詠春) whom a local warlord was trying to force into marriage. Ng Mui taught her new fighting style to Wing-Chun, who used it to fend off the warlord once and for all. Wing-Chun eventually married a man she loved, Leung Bok-Chao (梁博儔), to whom she taught the fighting techniques that Ng Mui had passed on to her. Husband and wife in turn passed the new style on to others.

MYTH 2. The Myth of Ng Mui and The Truth About Yim Wing Chun To protect the identities of the creators and the perpetuators of the Wing Chun system, a smokescreen was thrown up in the form of a story - the story of Ng Mui and Yim Wing Chun. The legend was told that among the survivors of the Shaolin/Siu Lam massacres was a Buddhist nun named Ng Mui. Ng Mui was believed to have been the sole custodian of a streamlined, highly practical and effective martial arts developed within the temples. In turn, Ng Mui is said to have passed her knowledge onto her chosen disciple, a young girl named Yim Wing Chun. As Yim Wing Chun taught the system to others, it became known as Wing Chun. The story spread and today many versions of it exist around the world. However, there are three important considerations to make when regarding the story of Ng Mui. Firstly, outside of the legend, there is no other evidence that Ng Mui - in her capacity as a kung-fu grandmaster or founder of a kung-fu system actually existed - no records, no historical documents - nothing. Secondly, it would have been forbidden for a nun to live in, let alone train within, a celibate monastic environment like the Siu Lam /Shaolin Temples. Thirdly, and perhaps the most important, after escaping from a life and death situation as a revolutionary, it does not make sense that Ng Mui would teach an advanced level fighting system to a local girl with romantic problems and no connection to the revolution.

PAGE 42

WING CHUN (continuation)

At that time in Chinese history, the Qing dynasty had devised a special form of punishment for traitors and rebels. After being made to confess his or her crimes, the guilty party was executed. Afterwards, Qing officials would hunt down members of the guilty party's family down to nine generations and execute them as traitors as well. Teaching Yim Wing Chun martial arts would directly put her life at risk. With regards to the Yim Wing Chun element of the legend, consider once more the relevance of secret rebel societies. `Yim' can be translated to mean `prohibit' or `secret.' The term `Wing Chun' referred to a geographic location - the Siu Lam Wing Chun Tong (Always Spring Hall), where the rebels perhaps practiced martial arts and orchestrated their seditious activities. The use of the term Spring symbolized the rebirth of the Ming Dynasty and Always referred to the reestablished dynasty lasting forever. After the destruction of the Southern Shaolin temple and its Wing Chun Tong, the survivors changed the character of Wing from Always to Praise. The term Praise referred to the fact that the revolutionaries had to spread the word about the revolution after the destruction of their base. Thus, `Yim Wing Chun' was actually a codename, meaning (protect) the secret art of the Wing Chun Hall. 1. Reference: Wikipedia Reference: By Benny Meng and Alfredo Delbrocco

The History of Brazilian Capoeira Created by slaves brought to Brazil from Africa, during the colonial period, Capoeira is a martial art that grew from survival. People were brought from Angola, Congo and Mozambique, and with them, they brought their cultural traditions. They hid their martial art and traditions into a form of dance. The African people developed capoeira not only to resist oppression, but also for the survival of their culture and the lifting of their spirits. After slavery, they continued to play capoeira. With no employment, many of them turned to gangs. Quickly capoeira was associated with crime and in 1892 became outlawed in Brazil. If a person was caught for practicing the art, they were punished by cutting the tendons of the back of their feet. A rhythm, called cavalaria, was created as an alarm that warned them of police. People that played capoeira had nicknames to hide their identity from the police. Often they had more than one. Getting a nickname has become a tradition and people gain a nickname usually at a Batizado. Capoeira was against the law for 20 years until 1918. The first capoeira school ever to exist was that of Mestre Bimba. He was given permission to do so in 1937, after he demonstrated the art in front of President GetĂşlio Varga. Capoeira was finally recognized as a national sport. There are two main styles of capoeira. Mestre Bimba is recognized as the father of Capoeira Regional. The second main style is capoeira Angola, a slower and lower to the ground game retaining the rituals and traditions of capoeira. The first school of Angola, Centro Esportivo de Capoeira Angola, was established by Mestre Pastinha in 1942. The school, located in Bahia, had a uniform of black pants and yellow shirts (the color of a Mestre's Patinha's favorite soccer team). It is important to remember that most Africans were warriors and had martial arts skills that prevented their easy capture. The slave traders actually had to buy Africans from other Africans whose tribes were at war with one another. This can be proven by the great accomplishments of Shaka Zulu.

HISTORY OF JUJITSU

Jujutsu (ć&#x;&#x201D;čĄ&#x201C; jĹŤjutsu?), (also known as Ju-Jitsu, Jiu-Jitsu, or Jiujitsu), is Japanese martial art and a method of close combat for defeating an armed and armored opponent in which one uses no weapon, or only a short weapon. "Ju" can be translated to mean "gentle, supple, flexible, pliable, or yielding." "Jutsu" can be translated to mean "art" or "technique" and represents manipulating the opponent's force against himself rather than confronting it with one's own force. Jujutsu evolved among the samurai of feudal Japan as a method for defeating an armed and armored opponent in which one uses no weapon, or only a short weapon. Because striking against an armored opponent proved ineffective, practitioners learned that the most efficient methods for neutralizing an enemy took the form of pins, joint locks, and throws. These techniques were developed around the principle of using an attacker's energy against him, rather than directly opposing it. There are many variations of the art, which leads to a diversity of approaches. Jujutsu schools (RYU) may utilize all forms of grappling techniques to some degree (i.e. throwing, trapping, joint locks, holds, gouging, biting, disengagements, striking, and kicking). In addition to jujutsu, many schools teach the use of weapons.

HISTORY OF JUDO

Judo or Jūdō (柔道 jūdō?, meaning "gentle way") is a modern Japanese martial art and combat sport created in Japan in 1882 by Dr Jigoro Kano. Its most prominent feature is its competitive element, where the object is to either throw one's opponent to the ground, immobilize or otherwise subdue one's opponent with a grappling maneuver, or force an opponent to submit by joint locking or by executing a strangle hold or choke. Strikes and thrust by hands and feet as well as weapons defenses are a part of judo, but only in prearranged forms (kata) and are not allowed in judo competition or free practice (Randori). The philosophy and subsequent pedagogy (the study of being a teacher/instructor or the process of teaching) developed for judo became the model for other modern Japanese martial arts that developed from traditional schools (Ryu). The worldwide spread of judo has led to the development of a number of offshoots such as Sambo (Russian martial Art), Bartitsu (eclectic martial art and self defense method originally developed in England during the years 1898–1902) (, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, which was developed after Mitsuyo Maeda brought judo to Brazil in 1914. Practitioners of judo are called Jūdōka.

HISTORY OF TAE KWON DO Taekwondo is a Korean martial art and the national sport of South Korea. In Korean, Tae (태, 跆) means "to strike or break with foot"; Kwon (권, 拳) means "to strike or break with fist"; and do (도, 道) means "way," "method," or "art." Thus, Taekwondo may be loosely translated as "the art of the foot and fist" or "the art of kicking and punching." In 1989, taekwondo was the world's most popular martial art, as measured by the number of practitioners. Its popularity has resulted in the varied development of the martial art into several domains: as with many other arts, it combines combat techniques, self defense, sport, exercise, meditation, and philosophy. Taekwondo is also used by the South Korean military as part of its training. Gyeorugi (pronounced [ɡjʌɾuɡi]), a type of sparring, has been an Olympic event since 2000. Formally, there are two main styles of taekwondo. One comes from the Kukkiwon, the source of the sparring system sihap gyeorugi which is now an event at the summer Olympic Games and which is governed by the World Taekwondo Federation (WTF). The other comes from the International Taekwon-Do Federation (ITF) Separate from the various taekwondo organizations, there have been two general branches of taekwondo development: traditional and sport. The term "traditional taekwondo" typically refers to the martial art as it was established in the 1950s and 1960s in the South Korean military forces; in particular, the names and symbolism of the traditional patterns often refer to elements of Korean history. Sport taekwondo has evolved in the decades since then and has a somewhat different focus, especially in terms of its emphasis on speed and competition (as in Olympic sparring), whereas traditional taekwondo tends to emphasize power and self-defense. The two are not mutually exclusive, and the distinctions between them are often blurred. Although there are doctrinal and technical differences between the two main styles and among the various organizations, the art in general emphasizes kicks thrown from a mobile stance, employing the leg's greater reach and power (compared to the arm). The greatest difference between various styles, or at least the most obvious, is generally accepted to be the differing styles and rules of sport and competition. Taekwondo training generally includes a system of blocks, kicks, punches, and open-handed strikes and may also include various take-downs or sweeps, throws, and joint locks. Some taekwondo instructors also incorporate the use of pressure points, known as jiapsul, as well as grabbing self-defense techniques borrowed from other martial arts, such as Hapkido and Judo

HISTORY OF AIKIDO Aikido is often translated as "the Way of unifying (with) life energy" or as "the Way of harmonious spirit Aikido's founder, Morihei Ueshiba, was born in Japan on December 14, 1883. As a boy, he often saw local thugs beat up his father for political reasons. He set out to make himself strong so that he could take revenge. He devoted himself to hard physical conditioning and eventually to the practice of martial arts, receiving certificates of mastery in several styles of jujitsu, fencing, and spear fighting. In spite of his impressive physical and martial capabilities, however, he felt very dissatisfied. He began delving into religions in hopes of finding a deeper significance to life, all the while continuing to pursue his studies of budo, or the martial arts. By combining his martial training with his religious and political ideologies, he created the modern martial art of Aikido. Ueshiba decided on the name "Aikido" in 1942 (before that he called his martial art "aikibudo" and "aikinomichi"). On the technical side, Aikido is rooted in several styles of jujitsu (from which modern judo is also derived), in particular daitoryu-(aiki) jujitsu, as well as sword and spear fighting arts. Oversimplifying somewhat, we may say that Aikido takes the joint locks and throws from jujitsu and combines them with the body movements of sword and spear fighting. However, we must also realize that many Aikido techniques are the result of Master Ueshiba's own innovation. On the religious side, Ueshiba was a devotee of one of Japan's so-called "new religions," Omotokyo. Omotokyo was (and is) part neo-shintoism, and part socio-political idealism. One goal of omotokyo has been the unification of all humanity in a single "heavenly kingdom on earth" where all religions would be united under the banner of omotokyo. It is impossible sufficiently to understand many of O Sensei's writings and sayings without keeping the influence of Omotokyo firmly in mind.

Grand Master, Soke, Dr. Alonzo M. Jones bio continued In 1995 in Rancho Cucamonga after engaging in a judo sparring exhibition, O-Sensei Philip S. Porter, promoted Jones to Sandan in Judo and invited him to train with the Olympic Judo team. This was especially an honor for Jones because O-Sensei Porter was the 2nd highest ranking Judoka in the world. That same year, Alonzo Jones Goju instructor, Kyoshi Sanchez, ask him to conduct an exhibition match with the middle weight 1992 Savat Champion, on Fort Mac Arthur Air Force Base. After the match Jones was subsequently asked by the Head Savat Coach to join their team. Teaching Experience: Upon returning from the Philippines in September of 1984, Jones was stationed at Keesler Air Force Base in Biloxi Mississippi. There he compiled his martial art experience into a curriculum he called Comba-Tai. He also used Martial arts for teaching altruistic activities to youth in the communities of Biloxi and Gulfport Ms. Under the authority of Grandmaster Tillmon, through the World Combat Academy, Jones established a martial art school in Biloxi. It was dedicated to teaching youth pro-social and anti-drug skills while encouraging youth to stay in school and enter college. The greatest component of his curriculum is that it encouraged youth to return to their neighborhoods with an altruistic purpose. After over 20 years, the World Combat Academy schools formulated by Jones continue to exist under the direction of his student, 3 times inductee in the Martial Art Hall of Fame, Robert Parham, and his students, Garreth Rick Barber, Tellias Saucier Jr., and Mark Page II. The Biloxi and Gulfport schools have trained many amateur and professional world champions and 85% of its youth enter college. In 1987, Jones was stationed at Los Angeles Air Force Base; he continued his altruistic campaign using the martial arts. In 1992 he used martial art instructors he personally trained to create a Health & Wellness organization called “Team P.U.N.C.H.” -- Providing Understanding in Nutrition Cardiovascular fitness and overall Health and Wellness. Team P.U.N.C.H. is a martial art program that teaches the discipline of self defense, fitness, coping skills and life strategies. Jones’ instructors continue to oversee this program at LAAFB - Space and Missile Systems Command. Team P.U.N.C.H. has benefited civilians, military personnel and their beneficiaries. In 1994 he and his instructors developed a martial art curriculum called Cory Jitsu Do that was designed to render age specific instruction to youth. This youth program continues to receive accolades from families at the Fort Mac Arthur Fitness Center. In 2000 Jones created a national “Say No to Drugs” writing contest that empowers youth to engage in Social Norms Marketing. In 2001 Jones retired from the Air Force and retired from the World Combat Academy as its Grandmaster, allowing Mr. Jason Laidlaw and Mr. Robert Parham to take over Grand Master leadership positions over schools from coast to coast and in four countries. In 2001, Jones went to Las Vegas Nevada where the former Nevada Drug Czar, Mujahid Ramadan hired him to work at Nevada Partners as the lead youth programs director. While there he also supervised the Sugar Ray Leonard Boxing Club. There he ran a program that taught boxing, martial arts, pro-social skills and employability skills to over 300 youth.

Grand Master, Soke, Dr. Alonzo M. Jones bio continued His work was recognized and he was asked in 2002 to assume command over a program called Project Helping Youth Progress and Excel (H.Y.P.E.). Soon after his appointment, Jones redesigned the H.Y.P.E. curriculum to teach the martial arts free flowing flexible concept. That year Alonzo M. Jones was recruited by Vice Principle, Dr. Maria Charez to work with Monaco Middle School in Las Vegas. In 2001 Monaco was opened in a neighborhood that possessed a severe Drug and Gang problem and had a population of youth that were retained in their grade three times. Jones was encouraged to use his unique martial art style of teaching to help youth go on to High School. This program inspired 275 youth to achieve upward academic mobility. In November of 2002, Alonzo Jones petitioned Dr. Kenneth Fletcher (UMASS Medical School) and Jessica Hamblen, PhD Associate Director for Research and Education at Dartmouth University to conduct a Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Study (PTSD) on youth in the inner cities that had experienced several traumatic events. Jones theorized that such a study would show the correlation between youth violence and childhood traumatization. Dr. Hamblen and Dr. Fletcher both agreed to allow him to use their PTSD scales for the study. Dr. Fletcher commented in a letter dated December 2, 2002, “I agree that youth violence and childhood traumatization can be related. Some researchers are beginning to look at this, too.” Anticipating positive findings Dr. Alonzo M. Jones consulted with Dr. Howard Gardener, Professor at Harvard Graduate School of Education to use his Multiple Intelligence Theory (MI). Jones asked Dr. Gardner if he thought an MI Communication Contest would help troubled children identify one of their intelligence strengths thereby helping them improve their self image. In other words Jones wanted to help youth develop their strength which would assist them in overcoming their weakness. Dr. Gardner said in an e-mail dated January 2003, “What you describe sounds very sensible to me.” Jones also focused on Kinesthetic Tactile routines contained in martial arts, which he thought would assist in cognitive restructuring of troubled youth. On April 4th of 2003 Dr. Jones received a congressional recognition and United States Senate Accommodation on behalf of the Foundation for an Independent Tomorrow for his work in addressing and exposing the psychosocial problems of Childhood PTSD. In 2004 Dr. Jones was asked to head the Attorney General’s Office program, Project Safe Neighborhoods for weapons involved youth. Using martial arts as an incentive and motivation he assisted a total of 230 youth with a 5% recidivism rate, according to the Las Vegas Office of Juvenile Justice. This success was instrumental in getting the Southern Nevada Gang Task Force a national number 1 rating.

PAGE 51

Grand Master, Soke, Dr. Alonzo M. Jones bio continued In 2005 the Restitution Earned, Accountability Learned program (REAL), used Dr. Jones remarkable teaching and motivational martial art skills. The Executive Director Mr. Cedric Cole testified that “Youth going through this program that acquired employment, stayed employed and did not return to the Juvenile Justice System.”

Also in 2005 Dr. Jones partnered martial arts concepts with a clinical prevention science based best practice called the Leadership and Resiliency Program. This program was certified through the Bureau of Alcohol and Drug Abuse, Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration <http://www.samhsa.gov/> . A recent “Communities In School” youth focus group on the Nevada drop out rate best identifies Dr. Jones success as a youth programmer in this system. His students testified that they would stay in school if they were paired with caring adults in such a positive curriculum.

In 2006, Jones lead a credit retrieval initiative in the Clark County schools where no middle school youth who was retained was able to go on to High School in the past 2 years. Alonzo Jones was asked by State Senator Steven Horsford to use his unique curriculum to help these youth. At the close of this program, it was not surprising that 37 out of 40 youth graduated. As the Board Chair of the Southern Nevada Gang Task Force, Youth Program advocate, and Inheritance Leadership and Resiliency developer, Jones promises to continue serving his community with the blessings of the Comba-Tai (The Grand Struggle to help all People).

THE ROYAL WARRIOR FAMILY LEGAL CLAIM: Legitimate royals are born, adopted, or ennobled by one of royal lineal decent for heroic noble actions. It is this tradition that is embodied in the approach to granting royal titles to Combat Specialist for achieving knight hood in the Royal Order of the Sword and Shield, the American Order descendent from the Knights of Saint Anthony and the Royal Blood Line. Hence they are a part of the royal family. Accepting royal elevation in this regard signifies their devotion to the royal way of life, that is, Truth, Justice and Universal Order as decedents of the Royal Davidic line by the union of the Queen of Sheba and King Solomon and their descendent Prince Menelik called the Solomonic Blood Line. Because of their service and induction into the Royal Order, Combat Specialist and all their decedents are entitled to legal hereditary royal titles until their 18th birthday when they must enter into a Rite of Passage. Kings and Queens are not born they are made by their noble training and devotion to a way of life. Our nobility is based on our noble service to other members of the human family so that we elevate all men as nobility. I pray YHWH Elohem bestow the power of the Holy Spirit through Eashoa M’sheeka our Lord and savior on you and your decedents as protectors of the human family. This is your charge, -– Universal Sovereign Grand Master Prince Alonzo M. Jones, lineal descendent of King Solomon through the House of Shewa and the 25th Dynasty through the Nubian Madjay Prince Giorgis Warren. May God bless you more than you can ask or think!

O’SENSEI JESUS SANCHEZ GOJU SABUDO-KAI

Above their heads are Gogen Yamaguchi, Chojun Miagi and Peter Urban all were Grand Masters of Goju. In the rear (middle) O’sensei Sanchez, to his right Dr. Alonzo M. Jones who earned the ranks of 6 th through 10th in Goju under O’sensei Sanchez.

O’sensei Jesus Sanchez has been inducted in the World Martial Art Hall of Fame in 2005,2007,2009,2011. In 2009 O’sensei Sanchez received his degree in Asian Studies of Martial Science, which gave him the title of Dr. Jesus Sanchez, PH.D.

The World Combat Academy owes a debt of gratitude to Dr. Sanchez not only for his traditional skills and Budo training he passed on to our Soke, Dr. Alonzo M. Jones from 1987—1999, but

also because he informed Dr. Jones that he must never lose the art form of his grandfather. For this reason Goju Sabudo-Kai is one of our official sacred martial art designations. In 1982, it Sifu Alonzo M. Jones dream to unify the field of martial arts under the umbrella of the Combat Academy. As providence would have it Jones was able to visit many martial art centers in the Pacific and humbly learn under their masters. In 1987 after training and assigning young Ras Robert Parham and Ras Sebron Jackson-- two newly inducted knights of the ancient Order of Saint Anthony-- over the Combat Academy in Biloxi Mississippi. He then headed to Los Angeles to get married to his high school sweetheart. While stationed at Los Angeles Air Force at Fort McArthur, he met Master Jesus Sanchez, a practitioner of the ancient art form of Goju. O’sensei or “Great Teacher” as the World Combat Academy would later designate him was a secular disciple of O’sensei Peter Urban and was promoted to Kyoshi by Gogen Yamaguchi. Dr. Jones was given a new respect for the practical and deadly street application of Kata while training under O’sensei Sanchez and ask O’sensei to completely pass his knowledge on to him. Dr. Jones would comment:

I and students such as Dan Heck (CEO Masters Hall of Fame) were really impressed at how O’sensei Sanchez could use traditional techniques in real street fights. It is said that back in the 1990’s he accepted the Gracie challenge but asked if they would allow him to kick to joints and accomplish other tasks which they refused. Master Sanchez was from a previous generation of martial artist that were influenced by O’sensei Peter Urban who had come from an era where the early Japanese Martial artist after WWII were still trying to understand and implement Budo (The Holistic Way of Martial Arts) when Bujutsu (Warfare, how to kill an enemy efficiently) was so ingrained in them. In that regard O’sensei was trained on the tuff streets of New York where he had ample opportunity to test and hone his skills on would be attackers and criminals. Moreover, he was trained at the now famous China Town Dojo under Peter Urban, a disciple of Gogen Yamagochi, brought their by his first sensei, ________????? He would later join the federal police and be stationed at Los Angeles Air Force Base where he started the Goju Sabudo-Kai Martial Arts Academy. There he met a young 5th Degree black belt by the name of Alonzo M. Jones in 1987. O’sensei was very impressed with his speed and power and would often comment that everyone was impressed with Jones’ kicks but should also be concerned about his hands. O’sensei begin to train Jones in secret. Dr. Alonzo M. Jones would later comment about O’sensei: He was different from other martial artist I witness in action. While O’sensei was purely traditional you got the impression

that his traditional techniques were natural because they were as smooth and affective looking as a boxer. The best example I can give is when you see Chen Man-Ch’ing performing Tai Chi, it is nothing like newer practitioners. The only reason I can give is that Chen Man-Ching’s Tai chi needed to be affective for him in war and thus it became a natural part of his movement. Thus he is no longer ridged because the martial movements are indistinguishable from natural movements. Bruce Lee talked about not being rigid because of the classical mess. O’sensei’s Kata was a result of his fighting…he once told me that shadow boxing is kata, then I understood the formless form (It becomes natural movement). Much could be said about O’sensei’s fighting skills but he was more impressive as a community leader and mentor in the martial arts. Dan Hect, who is his student and CEO of the Masters Hall of Fame, lived with O’sensei Sanchez as a disciple and today he is a well accomplished Hanshi, mentoring and inspiring martial artist around the world. Dr. Jones comments: Once I was helping O’sensei Sanchez put on a tournament. I discovered that he was more concerned about insuring that the kids that lost received certificates more than the champions who won. In other words, there are only a few places for champions, but you can us every aspect of the tournament to inspire kids. He did not want any child to leave disappointed but wanted their failures to encourage them to work hard. I think this is a powerful message of who O’sensei Sanchez really was and why we continue to respect his legacy. When O’sensei promoted Dr. Jones to 7th he said, “You can wear a black and red belt obi signifying you are going to develop the art using your own creativity or you can carry on the tradition I’ve given to you and wear a red and white obi.” Dr. Jones said, “I will continue the tradition you’ve given to me.” Finally in 2008, O’sensei would promote Dr. Jones to 10th Dan in Goju SabudoKai. Today O’sensei continues to live and teach in 151 N 7th St, Grover Beach, CA 93433, (805) 473-3580. PAGE 60

BIOGRAPHY

Sovereign Grand Master Jason Laidlaw martial art experience started under the tutelage of Sovereign Grand Master Alonzo M. Jones while stationed at Los Angeles Air force Base. Grand Master Laidlaw recalls the training was grueling and extremely challenging as if we were in Special Forces training camp. After founding the Southern Warriors on the Gulf Coast Dr. Jones decided to retire from the martial arts. After all He had been the Asian World No-Holds Barred Champion, Interservice Pacific Wide Champion and Philippine American Champion in addition he founded the Combat Academy on the Gulf Coast that currently boasted two world champions in Full Contact. It was their Job to bring the message of the Order of the Knights of Saint Anthony to the world with the incentive of sports martial arts. Dr. Jones decided he would dedicate his life to his call to the ministry of Christ as a pastor at his Grandfathers Church in New Orleans Louisiana once he retired from the military. In preparation he studied at UCLA under Professor Bill Creasy and planned to enter a seminary. But in 1987 his retirement from the martial arts changed when he met Jason Laidlaw who was 19. Jason heard that a medic in the primary care clinic was a martial art master. Jason approached him and asked to learn. At first Grand Master Jones refused but after the persistence of Jason Laidlaw, Grand Master Jones decided to show him Old School training and why it was better to learn under another instructor. Grand Master Jones was determined to make Jason give up in his training. William Lapitan a friend of Dr. Jones encouraged Jason not to give up as Lapitan witnessed Dr. Jones win the Asian World Championships, Pacific Interservice Championships and Philippine American championships in addition to training and leading a team of rag tag black belts to winning the 1984 Interservice championships. Jason continued and was trained from the Majesty of Comba-Tai in boxing, arnis demono, aloe pendage, judo, ground fighting, knife fighting and jungle warfare tactics along with meditation and manipulative therapy. Finally Grand Master Jones petitioned The Grand Royal Patriarch, Leamon Tillmon to allow him to give Jason the first test. Grand Master Jones was granted the request and Jason Laidlaw was allowed into the Okuden, “The Mystery Teachings” of the Royal Military Order of the Abyssinian Knights of Saint Anthony whose job was to bring the Good News of the gospel of Christ to all the families of the earth with Love, Humility and Strength. He passed the test and was allowed to wear a uniform and earned a white belt. Grand Master Jones gave him the Royal Name of Apollo, but later Jason would request it be changed to Apollos, the preacher of the Gospel in the Bible (See: 1 Corinthians 3).

At the time Apollos asked if he could make a patch based on the symbols he learned in CombaTai. Grand Master Jones granted him his wish and Jason brilliant creative skills produced a patch that was accepted by both Grandmaster Jones and the Grand Royal Patriarch Grand Master Tillmon. The Patch is used to this day by all Combat Specialist. Soon Professor Jones would comment, “Apollo’s is one of the most gifted warriors I have ever trained.” Jason Laidlaw fought in his first championships at the Western States Traditional Karate Championships and won first place as a white belt.” While being exposed to the CombaTai teachings of Christ and Christian Apologetics, Grand Master Apollos gave his life to Christ but was ambivalent about baptism. He enquired of the Grand Master concerning baptism and Dr. Jones explained it was a ritual that signified to the world an inward change which adds to your life as a witness. In 1991 Jason Lailaw was baptized. He continued his training and study. Dr. Jones focus for Jason was not on tournaments but the mission of the order to train defenders of humanity and the faith of Jesus Christ. In addition the Southern Order mission was to spread Comba-Tai through sports Martial Arts but Dr. Jones wanted a division of the Order of the Sword and Shield to represent a military order of rescue and salvation. In that regard, Dr. Jones trained Jason military stealth, challenged matches as well as training in Apologetics. Jason engaged in several challenged matches against boxers, marital artist and street fighters and he never lost. Knowing that Jason could not become a purple belt unless he had the opportunity to instruct, Grand Master Jones began reluctantly accepting other students. Apollos says, “Dr. Jones did not believe in training students he said he was training instructors, someone to pass the knowledge on.” Indeed, Jason “Apollos” Laidlaw grew into a mighty warrior. Soon he begin bringing his girlfriend, Tracy, to the class who would later become the first female allowed to enter the Okuden on American Soil finally and became the first female Combat Specialist on American Soil. Jason married Tracy and they moved to Arizona while there he began training and studying for his Combat Specialist test. Grand Master Jones finally traveled to Arizona to test him and he was promoted to Combat Specialist in 1993. Grand Master Apollos finally moved to Kansas and begin teaching and growing into a phenomenal community leader. He returned to Arizona where he used his martial art skills to teach and mentoring young men and women in his local church. Today he has introduced Comba-Tai to the Arizona school system where he teaches and promotes health and wellness through strength, timing, agility and resourcefulness. He and his wife was selected for Induction into the Masters Hall of Fame in 2008 but was unable to attend because he committed himself to bring two boys into his family as a foster parent.

BIOGRAPHY Rick Barber (D.O.B. October 24, 1969, St. Dominic’s Hospital, Jackson, Ms.) never intended on training in the martial arts. There was one day that would shape and change his life. When he was outside playing as a young man he was jumped by five boys and his bike was taken from him. At that moment he realized that he never wanted to feel helpless again. He started his martial arts training career in 1984 at the age of 14 years old in Jackson, Ms. at Jackson State University. His first instructor was Grand Master Lindsey Horton, a master of Tae-Kwon-Do. He trained for 3 years under Master Horton’s instruction when he was not working. Rick left in 1987 at age 17 to join the Navy as a DT/Corpsman (medic). During his travels throughout the world, he visited Italy, Okinawa, Japan, Alaska, Mexico, and Puerto Rico. He trained in martial arts whenever he found a martial arts school or instructor to train him. In 1993 he started training with Grand Master Robert Parham Jr. in Biloxi, Ms. Grand Master Parham was ahead of his time in the area of martial arts. At his dojo there were several different instructors there. On any given day, you could train in Kempo, Tae-kwondo, Hopkido, Shotokan, and Judo. The instructors taught the basics of these styles in the beginning, and then taught the practical application of techniques as the students progressed. This was truly one of the first MMA or mixed martial arts schools in the state of Mississippi. GM Parham was insistent on teaching all aspects of combat. Whether it was standing, ground fighting, or weapons, the students were given a wide range of insight into combat techniques. During GM Barber’s time training, he won several national and state martial arts championships in sparring, kata, and full contact karate. In 1994 he competed as an intermediate for the first time in the United States Karate Alliance World Championships. Although he placed 2nd at the world tournament, it did not discourage him. He used this to inspire him to want more. He started training harder and was more focused and went on to avenge his title years later winning as a black belt in the light weight Koshiki sparring division (1998) and took a team from his satellite school to compete also. This time he was an instructor running a satellite school at the 19th Street Community Center in Gulfport, Ms. and teaching in Moss Point Schools for the summer program. While instructing at this satellite school, he was given the opportunity to test for the rank of Combat Specialist on March 20th, 1998.

Grand Master Robert Parham was so proud of Garreth Barber progression that he invited his teacher, Sovereign Grand Master Alonzo M. Jones, the Founder of Comba-Tai to test Barber and his class mate Tellias Saucier Jr. Grand Master Jones was an expert striker, grappler, weapons expert and very skilled in jungle warfare. Jones had trained a detachment of the elite special forces of the military known as Para rescue in the Pacific Air Command 1983-84. The Grand Master had also trained in the Jungles of the Philippines with the Aetas, known for helping General Mac Arthur defeat the Japanese in World War II with their uncanny stealth and jungle warfare skills. Grand Master Jones brought those skills back to the gulf coast to test Saucier and Barber as he had their instructor 5 years earlier. In an unprecedented move they were introduced into the grueling Okuden Test as a warm up and then were taken on the Combat Specialist obstacle course for five miles. While many martial artists had tried around the world, at the time only 3 others had achieved Combat Specialist under Grand Master Jones. He along with Grand Master Tellias Saucier Jr., was tested from 8:00 at night until morning by the Soke himself (Grand Master Dr. Alonzo M. Jones). When morning had come Barber and Tellias had fought their way to achieving a passing score. Passing that test was one of the most important achievements and accomplishments of his life. They were knighted by Grand Master Jones himself and given the designation of 138th descendent which made them lineal decedents of the Solomonic Blood Line wearing the title of Combat Specialist. So impressed with their fitness, and practical battle field and teaching knowledge that Soke Jones promoted Robert Parham to full Master who went on to achieve Grand Master. In 2002, Barber moved his school from 19th Street to the Turkey Creek Community Center on Rippy Rd. in Gulfport, Ms. The Turkey Creek Community is a historic community on the Mississippi coast which was formed in the 1860s by emancipated slaves. At that time the school began to grow at a phenomenal rate. He continued to take students to compete in the U.S.K.A and national tournaments. In 2005 the school was destroyed by Hurricane Katrina, one of the worst national disasters in this country’s history. The building and all the martial arts equipment were destroyed by water from the storm. The center was not rebuilt and in 2007 he was given an opportunity to open at another location in Gulfport at the Good Deeds Community Center. This would be the place where the next three generations of Combat Specialist would train and develop. Including the first all woman’s Combat Specialist group. He began to expand and teach martial arts to a wide range of students for little or no money and in 2008 he was inducted into the Master’s Martial Arts Hall of Fame for his humanitarian work with spreading the martial arts to those who could not afford it. He was the first Mississippian to be inducted into The Master’s Hall of fame. After which he was able to encourage and influence several of his students to take on his humanitarian ideals and mission. He with the help of GM Parham went on to induct 7 of his students (Black Belts) from the Mississippi Gulf Coast area into the hall of fame as well. Grand Master Rick was promoted to 8th Degree black belt (red belt) and president of the World Combat Academy by Soke Jones and Grand Master Parham in 2005 and has strived to use

the martial arts to promote good health and quality of life. Upon seeing his martial art skills, dedication, integrity and loyalty in the system of Comba-Tai, Soke Dr. Alonzo M. Jones as our Grand Royal Patriarch retired from keeping the ring and bestowed the ancient rite upon Professor Garreth Barber. Eashoa M’sheekha Ring represents the concept of our power. Professor Barber was authorized by the Soke to duplicate the ring (2013) and present them to the Combat Specialist as our ROYAL FAMILY CREST as each are decedents of the Solomonic Royal Blood Line The House of Shewa, through the Abyssinian Knights of Saint Anthony as bearers of the Crest of the Sword and Shield. Combat Specialist are Knights that wear the Eashoa M’sheekha Ring to symbolize their commitment to God’s salvation and spreading the true meaning of Comba-Tai, “THE GRAND STRUGGLE TO BE A BLESSING TO ALL THE FAMILIES OF THE EARTH THROUGH THE LOVE OF CHRIST THE RISEN LORD. IN THIS WE SHALL NEVER CONDONE DESTRUCTION BUT PROTECTION OF THE HUMAN FAMILY!” He used his experience in the martial arts and training as a registered nurse to find ways to deal with Mississippi’s growing childhood obesity bullying problems. So in 2010 he reached out to the local Boys & Girls Club and wrote a business proposal to teach at the local clubs. This went from 1 club to four clubs within a two year period. They even hosted the first ever Mississippi Gulf Coast Boys & Girls Club karate tournament in 2012 with over 300 people in attendance. He has positioned several of his students to be leaders and teach at these locations, introducing some of the first female run martial arts satellite schools on the Gulf Coast. These satellite martial arts schools have generated thousands of dollars in revenue to assist the Boys & Girls Clubs in their mission as well. He also completed his training in Shotokan karate under Grand Master Clint Jacobs who was a good friend of Grand Master Parham and earned his 6th degree black belt in Shotokan karate as well as a 6th degree black belt in Shorin Ryu under Master Sean Smith. With all his training, he began to teach free karate classes, health fairs, selfdefense seminars, rape prevention, and child abduction prevention classes throughout the gulf coast. To date Grand Master Rick has promoted several to Black Belt, Master, and one to Grand Master. He continues his work as a teacher, registered nurse, minister of the gospel, mentor, and motivational speaker. He is committed and unmovable in his desire to teach the art of Comba-Tai Karate-Do-Kempo to the world and promote positivity to the youth wherever and whenever he can.

BIOGRAPHY H.I.H. Sovereign Grand Master Negus Tellias Saucier Showed an extraordinary propensity for martial arts while in his youth; gifted with extraordinary strength, speed and agility, Grand Master Saucier found it easy to imitate martial art techniques during the television martial art boom of the 70’s and 80’s. He comments, “It was something unexplainable about karate, kungfu, and Judo that attracted me.” Yet like other talented youth football, basketball, etc, were sports that he played as well. However early on he realized that he could not play martial arts, it was a way of life that fascinated him day and night. Grand Master Saucier recounts that martial arts burned deep within the marrow of his bone. His love for the Martial arts was evident in his statement: In the 1980’s, there was a TV. Show called Black Belt Theatre. Every Saturday at 2:00 in the afternoon, you could find me glued to the TV. And for the next two hours, that’s where I would be. The only thing more exciting than being in front of that TV was the fact that immediately after, the neighborhood kids would meet in the “Field” and “do karate” according to the recently viewed moves we just witnessed. However unlike most kids, I was serious about what I had seen. My early influences were not uncommon. Having said that, Bruce Lee was the one that hypnotized me. However, I must mention others like Donnie Yen, Sammo Hung, Yuen Biao, Jackie Chan, Jim Kelly, Billy Blank, the “5 Deadly Venoms”, Gordon Liu, and countless others. In 1993 Grand Master Tellias Saucier Jr. formal training began under the rough and tumble training of Grand Master Robert Parham. Robert Parham was unique in that he instructed a truly eclectic form of martial arts called Kempo Comba-Tai. Kempo Comba-Tai at the time was a combination of boxing, Goshen Judo, wing chung, Capoeria and kick boxing to include weapons like Arnis. Under the guidance of then master Robert Parham Jr., Grand Master Tellias Saucier was able to realize a dream of becoming a black belt in 1995. He went on to utilize his boxing skills as a proboxer deadly martial artist with the skills to heal and mentor

other youth that hope to reach goals in martial arts. Grand Master Robert Parham was so proud of Tellias Saucier progression that he invited his teacher, Sovereign Grand Master Alonzo M. Jones, the Founder of Comba-Tai to test Saucier and his class mate Garreth Barber. Grand Master Jones was an expert striker, grappler, weapons expert and very skilled in jungle warfare. Jones had trained a detachment of the elite special forces of the military known as Pararescue in the Pacific Air Command 1983-84. The Grand Master had also trained in the Jungles of the Philippines with the Aetas, known for helping General Mac Arthur defeat the Japanese in world War II with their uncanny stealth and jungle warfare skills. Grand Master Jones brought those skills back to the gulf coast to test Saucier and Barber as he had their instructor 5 years earlier. In an unprecedented move they were introduced into the grueling Okuden Test as a warm up and then were taken on the Combat Specialist obstacle course for five miles. While many martial artists had tried around the world, at the time only 3 others had achieved Combat Specialist under Grand Master Jones. He along with Grand Master Garreth Barber., was tested from 8:00 at night until morning by the Soke himself (Grand Master Dr. Alonzo M. Jones). When morning had come Tellias and Barber had fought their way to achieving a passing score. They were knighted by Grand Master Jones himself and given the designation of 138 th descendent which made them lineal decedents of the Solomonic Blood Line wearing the title of Combat Specialist. So impressed with their fitness, and practical battle field and teaching knowledge that Soke Jones promoted Robert Parham to full Master who went on to achieve Grand Master. Saucier continued his upward march in testing his martial arts skills he became a Pro-boxer in 1999. Grand Master Parham seeing his dedication to the active way of life promoted him to Senior Instructor of the World Combat Academy on the Gulf coast. Using his teaching skills, in 2005 he began teaching at at “Premier Fitness Gym.” He even sought to test his martial art skills further and won a local “Tough Man Championship,” under Grand Master Robert Parham. In 2011 Grand Master Saucier was inducted into the Martial Art Hall of Fame. He gives honor to his instructor in the following words: In words, I can’t express the gratitude, obligation, and commitment; I have for Grand Master Parham, thank you. I have instructed, mentored, and counseled many students on my journey. I am prayful that the right seeds are being planted. “To whom much is given, much is required.” And 2 Timothy 2:2 “and the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.”

THE ROYAL WARRIOR FAMILY LEGAL CLAIM: Legitimate royals are born, adopted, or ennobled by one of royal lineal decent for heroic noble actions. It is this tradition that is embodied in the approach to granting royal titles to Combat Specialist for achieving knight hood in the Royal Order of the Sword and Shield, the American Order descendent from the Knights of Saint Anthony and the Royal Blood Line. Hence they are a part of the royal family. Accepting royal elevation in this regard signifies their devotion to the royal way of life, that is, Truth, Justice and Universal Order as decedents of the Royal Davidic line by the union of the Queen of Sheba and King Solomon and their descendent Prince Menelik called the Solomonic Blood Line. Because of their service and induction into the Royal Order, Combat Specialist and all their decedents are entitled to legal hereditary royal titles until their 18 th birthday when they must enter into a Rite of Passage. Kings and Queens are not born they are made by their noble training and devotion to a way of life. Our nobility is based on our noble service to other members of the human family so that we elevate all men as nobility. I pray YHWH Elohem bestow the power of the Holy Spirit through Eashoa M’sheeka our Lord and savior on you and your decedents as protectors of the human family. This is your charge, -– Universal Sovereign Grand Master Prince Alonzo M. Jones, lineal descendent of King Solomon through the House of Shewa and the 25th Dynasty through the Nubian Madjay Prince Giorgis Warren. May God bless you more than you can ask or think!

BIOGRAPHY Sovereign Grand Master Lopez is a 9th Dan in Comba-Tai one of only 3 people to hold this rank. He was the Sovereign Grand Master of a division of the Order of the Sword and Shield called “Knights of the Cobra.” He served as the 3rd Negus of the World Combat Academy and organized schools in Okinawa where he was respected in the birth place of Karate. Grand Master Lopez has maintained a long history Martial arts starting in 1982 under a student of the legendary Bruce Lee’s in the system of Jeet Kun Do. He then went on to study Lancaster, California in 1984 under John Rosa Karate. In 1989 he served as a dental technician at Los Angeles Air Force Base, Space and Missile Systems Command. At Lunch some of his friends invited him to a workout cession with a medic in the primary care clinic. Skeptical of their stories, he joined the work out and soon became a student of Sovereign Grand Master Alonzo M. Jones in the art of Comba-Tai. Lopez dedication from 1989 to 1990 allowed him to take the “FIRST TEST” to be admitted to the Okuden (hidden teachings). He was promoted to Combat Fighter in 1990 after taking the admissions test to the system. He passed and was inducted into the training order (1990) to eventually become one of the Knights of the Sword and Shield in honor of the Knights of Saint Anthony of Abyssinia the guardians of the Ark of the Covenant in 1993. In 1993 I co-taught with Master Daryl White at Fort MacArthur as a Combat Specialist where he eventually became the only instructor for the Fort MacArthur dojo. While his primary mission was to serve families of active duty personal he states, “There Grand Master Jones authorized us to engage in challenge matches with various systems of martial arts to include boxing, karate, Judo, Jujitsu and kick boxing and weapons. There were no rules in the matches accept if someone was hurt or knocked out we were to show mercy or be forced to Spar with Grand Master Jones.” June 1999 – Jan 2004, I went to Kadena Air Base and taught children and adults under a division of the Order of the Sword and Shield called Knights of the Cobra or “Cobra Knights”. “Several local Okinawa instructors stop by and watch the classes. I asked them to if they wanted to work out, this reminded me of the old classes at Fort MacArthur when instructors would come test our abilities. Our workouts wore not accepted by my wife because she saw that they wanted to test

me and at the same time hurt me. The multi styles of CombaTai help me overcome their aggressions. They were not able to continue the fight, after that I earned their respect and they became students. I had an instructors class we share our knowledge. We became good friends.” Grand Master Jones was humbled by the humility and fighting prowess of Grand Master Lopez. He and Grand Master Jones became good friends, which was rare because the Grand Master was a loner and usually would not maintain friendships with his students. Grand Master Lopez married his wife Lucy in November 1995, her martial arts background is from Taekwondo and she started studying CombaTai and eventually became an instructor. There is an interesting story that Grand Master Lopez tells of his son Julius that support the notion that even if kids don’t want to learn instructors should bring them along so they can watch Comba-Tai. “My son Julius started CombaTai the same time I started teaching at Fort MacArthur (1993). He went to a lot of my classes and sat in a corner quietly, looking up at the class every so often. He paid close attention at Grand Master Jones’ moves. For his first test he asked Grand Master Jones if he would spar with him. To the surprise of Grand Master Jones and the other instructor, he scored a point on Grand Master Jones by throwing an over the top punch. Grand Master Jones laughed and hugged my son because he was only 11. He also could accomplish all the Kata as if he soaked all the teachings up. My two daughters Jailene and Lucille wore born in the CombaTai Family. They took their first steps during a class and learned to walk Grand Master Lopez has an extensive background in Christianity “My strong Christian walk came in 1989, I taught adult religion education. When I hear that CombaTai was a Christian based martial arts I asked Grand Master Jones that I was not as much interest in the martial arts as I was how martial arts and Christianity work together could. This led to long martial arts training and Christian fellowship in him teaching me apologetics, that is, Defense of the Christian Faith. As I recall, I got in trouble with my wife for staying so late. There are a lot of legends or myths about Grand Master Jones and this about him being in a Christian play is probably one of them. I heard that he played a Roman soldier one year and on another year he played Jesus (Via Crusis – the Way of the Cross) way before Mel Gibson directed his movie. Well Actually I have a copy of the video because I was the director of the play that was noted as second only to the passion play in Mexico.” Today, Grand Master Lopez lives in Witchata Falls Texas with his family.

BIOGRAPHY Grand Master Mark Page Jr.’s martial arts career began when his father wanted to place him in an activity that would help to develop his discipline and also enable him to defend himself. Having only watched karate flicks with stars such as Jean Claude Van Damme, Bruce Lee, and Billy Blanks, Mark did not know what to expect. Mark’s father met Grandmaster Robert Parham in 1993 and decided that the Combat Academy would be a perfect fit for his son. Grandmaster Parham was a world class martial artist and visionary, who believed and taught Kempo Comba-Tai which was a multi-discipline art. This was before the days when MMA was the cool thing to do. At the age of 10 years old Mark began training under Grandmaster Robert Parham Jr. Almost immediately Mark began to excel at martial arts and began to train 6 days a week motivated by the desire to achieve excellence. About a year after beginning training Grandmaster Parham noticed that Mark would sit in and watch the adult training sessions and one day invited Mark to begin training with the adult classes. Mark quickly became a top rated state, national. And world sport karate fighter and won multiple titles in many organizations; the main two being the United States Karate Alliance (USKA) and the SKIL (Sport Karate International), following Grand Master Parham’s example. Mark was a top competitor in both kumite and forms competition. In April 25, 1995 Mark was awarded his 1st degree black belt (sho-dan) in Kempo CombaTai. After graduating from high school in May 2000, Mark earned a congressional appointment to the United States Naval Academy where he expanded his martial arts knowledge by training with the wrestling team while in New Port, RI. After returning home Mark trained in a variety of disciplines with a primary focus on boxing and kickboxing. On March 26, 2005 after 12 yrs of training Mark tested for Combat Specialist. It was after this grueling test that he was promoted to 3rd degree black belt; marking an important milestone in his martial arts career. Because of his faith, Mark wanted to accomplish more with martial arts and influence people so that one day they might know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, as he does. Without Christ as the spiritual anchor for their souls, people young and old would not be able to overcome the many obstacles they will be faced with and live a lost meaningless life. This was accomplished in the summer of 2010, when Mark established, with the help and advice of his good friend Grand Master Garreth Rick Barber, the Moss Point Branch of the Combat Academy. Mark’s teaching emphasizes discipline, respect and integrity thereby creating a student who is self-responsible and motivated. Knowing all too well the dangers and pitfalls facing people today Mark is motivated to make a positive difference in every person he teaches. On August 27, 2011, Mark was inducted into the Master’s Martial Arts Hall of Fame for the

Humanitarian Service Award for his dedication and hard work in the Moss Point and Gulfport communities. In December 2011 Mark earned an Associateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Degree in Process and Maintenance Technology from Bishop State Community College, in Mobile, AL. Mark continues to pursue an advanced technical degree while working. On April 18th 2013 Mark was awarded the rank of 8th Dan after 20 years of training and teaching in the martial arts. Not being one to rest his laurels Mark has continued his training and teaching of the martial arts at the Combat Academy in Moss Point.

BIOGRAPHY Sovereign Grand Master Roderick Deleaver came to the Soke Jones from O’sensei Jesus Sanchez. O’sensei gave Grand Master Jones Roderick’s brown belt certificate and asked Grand Master Jones to teach him his fighting system. Grand Master Jones began centering on training Roderick in Judo, Boxing, Thai Boxing and Capoeria. Grand Master Jones spent lots of time in one on one training with Deleaver in grappling and boxing in addition to teaching body alignment to add devastating power to his kicks and punches. His training included harsh stamina training and challenge matches that Dr. Jones insisted he participated in. To add icing on to Roderick’s Cake, Grand Master Jones insisted that Roderick teach. It is the idea of Comba-Tai that no instructor can understand martial arts unless they conduct their own classes. In the beginning Master Deleaver did not want to teach. Dr. Jones said it was because of his insistence on perfectionism, “Yet, I knew he had something to give to the martial art community that was very valuable in addition to needing to conduct his own class to become a black belt.” In 1992 Roderick Deleaver was evaluated by O’sensei Phillip Porter, participating with over 200 black belts, and promoted to Black Belt in Jujitsu. He was still a purple belt in Comba-Tai and a Green Belt in Goju Sabudo-Kai. He was selected in 1994 to take the Combat Specialist Test where he became the 4th person inducted into the Royal Order of the Knights of Saint Anthony as a Combat Specialist, Bomani. Roderick Deleaver went on to become one of the most knowledgeable Marital Artists in the world. He currently teaches a private class of incredible mixed martial artist and have won many amateur MMA tournaments. Because of his contribution to excellence in the martial arts he was inducted in the Masters Hall of Fame in 2008. He is married to Connie Deleaver who herself is also a Martial Arts Master that assists him in training fighters in their private Dojo.

BIOGRAPHY Currently Master Jerome Ginsburg is known as the Chief Instructor of the Fort McArthur youth program. He teaches youth goal setting, critical thinking, and problem solving skills while providing drug prevention and Health and Wellness classes. Master Jerome Ginsburg’s youth friendly demeanor belies the fact that he is a highly accomplished martial artist. He met Grand Master Jones in 1987 but did not realize his martial arts ability until he invited him to a Judo seminar with his instructor O’sensei Phillip Porter. Grand Master Jerome heard that Jones was a practitioner of an African system of wrestling and joint locks but had never seen him go to the ground. In 1992 he invited Sifu Jones to a seminar that O’sensei Phillip Porter was giving. Jones explained that he did not want to engage in any challenge match as some of the masters in Los Angeles were famous for inviting him to martial art gatherings and having him fight. When Grand Master Jones arrived he was introduced to Phillip Porter who went on to become the highest ranking Judoka in the world. Finally when Alonzo Jones walked onto the matt he saw there were over 200 Judoka’s practicing. He was introduced to a 5th degree Judo and Jujitsu Campion by Ginsburg and asked to engage in a friendly competition. The Judoka asked if they could fight like they fought in the UFC. “Ok,” Jones said, the match ended with the Jones easily throwing and hurting the Judoka and mounting. Grand Master Jerome Ginsburg at that moment became a lifelong student of Grand Master Jones. This was amazing, since Grand Master Jerome Ginsburg was also an accomplished Martial artist. Master Ginsburg’s marital art career started in 1955 when he undertook wrestling. By 1957 he began practicing Judo and received his Shodan from the famed Kodokan in 1961 (Certification # 1-765 with USJA c-9 Apr 62). His Judo Sensei's name was Mr. Wong Cheng from the Taipei Judo Club and Jerome Ginsburg was the 549th black belt from there and was recognized by the Taiwan Athletic Association for skill, performance, and determination. He also studied Judo at the Kodokan (Japan) as well as Guam and the Philippians. In 1961 Master Ginsburg competed in Taipei, Taiwan (Formosa) and participated in Taiwan International Tournaments which lasted 3 days with some 1,200 or more participants! In the beginning, amidst the fierce competition he was able to last two days before being eliminated. But during the last two tournaments he competed in, he was able to last three days the entire span of the tournament and in the finals met one of his team mates—“Who usually beat the tar out of me … by the end of session I placed second in my weight division over all!! You see, this was my last chance to become a black belt in Judo and I ‘was hungry!’” Master Jerome Ginsburg

practiced karate but started to switch to Judo as “I was tired of beating my body parts against rice bags and bleeding all over the place,” He says this was tough training which served me well for the judo matches and practices. Master Ginsburg did find time to practice karate at the same time he did judo but did not try to attain a belt. In the 1960”s Master Ginsburg was the USAF inter-service Judo champion. In addition from 1961—1962 at Lowry AFB, CO; Instructed Air Force Academy personnel once a week as well as the assisted with coaching at the 1961 National Olympic Training Center, Colorado Springs, CO While stationed in Toul-Rosieres, France (1963-67) joined the Judo Club de Nancy and learned Savat (had my “butt” kicked all over the place! - Sensei Me (Mr.) Henri Mennessier was my instructor.

Master Harvey is a 5th degree in the art of Comba-Tai. He trained under Universal Sovereign Grand Master Jones from 1996—2000. He was brought into the Okuden in 1997 taking the First Test. The first test allowed him to be an apprentice leading to taking the Combat Specialist test. At the time, the minimal requirement for qualification of Combat Specialist was 3 years. Indeed, he went on to take the Combat Specialist test in 1999 tested by Universal Sovereign Grand Master Jones. Master Harvey was already a second degree black belt in Tae-Kwon-do when he came to the Combat Academy on Los Angeles Air Force base and a very accomplished fighter. However, he was very interested in the eclectic approach of Comba-Tai to the martial arts as well as its belief in Christian altruism relating to military active duty and their beneficiaries. Master Harvey was a member of the team of Health and Wellness martial arts professional under the name “Team P.U.N.C.H.”—Providing understanding in Nutrition, Cardiovascular fitness and Overall Health & Wellness. After Universal Sovereign Grand Master Alonzo M. Jones retired from the United States Air Force in 2001, Master Harvey was elected as the Chief Instructor of the Comba-Tai Schools on Los Angeles Air Force Base and Fort Mac Arthur. He was succeeded by David Hinsley who is currently the director over the MWR and oversees all the Comba-Tai programs. Master Harvey retired as a computer expert at Los Angles Air force Base, Space and Missiles Command.

David “Matrix” Hinesley My martial arts life began in 1988 at the age of eight years old in a small Tang-Soo-Do dojo located within the Norton Air Force Base, San Bernardino, CA recreation center. My brother and I were enrolled by our father whom had taught hand-to-hand combat to Airmen during his active duty career. At the time, my two year older brother and I were constantly fighting in school, and it was believed that channeling our natural sibling rivalry into a more controllable competitive aggression would provide us with a safer battlefield to challenge and push each other to excel. It worked very well. Our desire to master one another developed into intense determination and an unspoken bond to improve ourselves. I’ve since learned this purest intent of all martial arts is the fundamental need to grow, but also the need for others to grow as well. Four years later, the class ended as the base began to close operations. After a short period, my brother and I began Tae-Kwon-Do at a local American Tae-Kwon-Do Association (ATA) school in Redlands, CA (1993). At this time I would like to state how pivotal a role our instructor played in the shaping of my young life. Mr. Todd Simpson founded the branch of ATA beginning in a small aerobics room inside a local gym. This is probably very familiar to many students. During our time with him, Mr. Simpson moved to a large independent facility after growing the class to over 200 students with his skill, dedication and passion for molding youth thru physical and mental training. I will always remember that even with so many students, he would find time to be involved in our lives and know what we were going thru. This was also the time when my brother and I were most active in martial arts competitions. Many times sweeping the categories we were in, and although occasionally we had to fight in the same ring, we never resented the other for a superior performance. I would also like to note, that on one occasion only, we were both bested by the same female opponent. Our consequent second and third place finishes will forever remind me to never be ashamed of being beaten by someone who is better than you. If you really want to become stronger, you must face others at their best. In 1996 I moved to the Antelope Valley, CA with my father and continued my Tae-Kwon-Do education at a Lancaster ATA chapter where I studied for three more years. During this time I finally

achieved the rank of black belt first and later second-degree. I remember the first test well. More from the physical and emotional strain than from the events, as any black-belt will agree. I had traveled back to my original instructor, Mr. Simpson to be tested by whose recognition I most desired. The trial was long and harsh with many near pass-outs, tearing-ups, and the inevitable vomit bucket moment. By the end I had a torn uniform, fractured heal, and only stood on pure determination not to be carried out. In late 1999 I moved again to Hawthorne, CA to begin college and started searching for a new martial arts school. Having taken a job as a gym clerk at the Los Angeles Air Force Base I had the most excellent luck of meeting Grand Master Alonzo “Doc” Jones as he instructed Comba-Tai in the facility. I would equivocate the experience to a serious culture shock. Throughout my previous years of training I had done minor training with many other schools, students and instructors from various other arts in hopes of expanding my knowledge. I’ve spilled sweat, puke and blood in dens, basements, garages and backyards. I can easily say that I had never met such a tight-knit group of open, kind, genuine and truly dedicated martial arts practitioners anywhere. Potentially obsessed may need to be added to that list. The level of skill among the Masters alone marvels me to this day. I began training and was shortly thereafter dubbed “Matrix” by GM Jones for my unique kicking style and partial likeness to the Neo character. Over the years I achieved the rank of fourth-degree within the Comba Tai ranks. During this time Grand Master Jones passed the class onto Capt Michael Scott who begat unto Jarius “Falcon” Harvey who passed the class down to myself. Over the years instructing at the LAAFB in El Segundo and Fort MacArthur I have had the opportunity to train directly with many of Comba Tai’s greatest leaders, most notably Master’s Deleaver, White, Langlois, Garcia, Sanchez & Steele, and Grandmasters Parham, Laidlaw & Barber. For all the knowledge and ability within the Comba Tai society, the aspect that draws me the most is how closely I feel about its core teachings which expound past the physical to inspire its members to be masters of life and not just hand and foot. GM Jones’ mission lives within each student, and I am grateful to be a part of its cause. We all reach for something. It is when that goal slips through our fingers, yearning forges open hand into fist. It has been my great fortune to have had mentors with enough passion to ensure I found my mark.

BIOGRAPHY I am a Combat specialist, personnel trainer, boxing coach, and guitar player. I begin training myself at the age of six, after hearing my P.E. coach talk about the importance of training you’re body at a young age. I took it to heart and begin my journey. Boxing was my first love. Why? In the first grade I got into my first real fight. I was beaten by seven guys. After that fight I meet an older guy who was in six grade who taught me some basic boxing and he also gave me some great advice, "watch Sugar Ray Lenard and fight like him". Well I did just that and a fighter was born. I never lost again. As time moved on, in 1982 I meet Grand Master, Dr. Alonzo M. Jones of The Royal Order of Sword and Shield, the Comba- Tai Academy and became one of his students. Doc was driving by my house and saw me and my friend play fighting after watching Kung Fu Theater. Doc stopped and ask me if I wanted to learn Marshall Arts, I said yes, and soon after meeting Doc, I wanted to know why fighting was so easy for me to learn. I concluded that, I had a gift from God. Case and point David's Mighty Men of Valor. If you know the Word of God, they were giant slayers anointed by God to fight for the church. In 1987 I was inducted into the Sword and Shield as one of the first Combat Specialist in the world. Soon after that Doc moved to Nevada and I moved to Texas for one year I returned to Biloxi and I was hit by a car as I was preparing for my first fight as a professional kick boxer. My knee was split in half at my femoral bone and I had a compound fracture. I also lost my memory due to a head injury. I died and was brought back by my doctor. I was in the hospital for one mouth and two weeks. The medical staff said that I would never fight again let alone be able to run or walk up a flight of stairs, are even drive a car. Only two weeks after getting out of the hospital I begin training again. After everyone told me not to try to train again and to give up and that my training days were over. I said there is no way I'm going to do that I will die first. To make a long story short, now I'm a Master in the Comba-Tai fighting arts. In 1991 I entered the boxing world as a professional fighter with only one defeat on my record fighting out of the Biloxi Boxing Club). One year later I became a professional kick boxers and world champion, I retired from both boxing and kick boxing in 1996. From there I opened my own training camp, were I trained boxers, kick boxers and martial arts under the name Comba-Tai Boxing. In 2005 Katrina devastated the Gulf coast and I lost everything with little to no help from FEMA. I relocated to Dallas Tx. , were I trained boxers at the Garland Police Boxing Club, in 2006. I worked there for four years as a USA certified boxing coach and as a security officer for six year in various companies. Never really happy, working in law enforcement I looked for a way to follow my passion, training people, and helping people too become better and live better lives. So, in 2010 I enrolled in ATI's PFT classes. (Personal Fitness Trainer)I

graduated from ATI in 2011. I am now training Boxers with hopes grooming a professional boxer one day.. -Make it do what it do!

BIOGRAPHY Christopher Klein On August 6th, 1987 in Indianapolis, Indiana, I was born with an undiagnosed heart defect called VSD. My family moved to Little Rock, Arkansas a couple months later where I lived for most of my life. I was a healthy kid and my heart defect hardly ever slowed me down. I was in all the athletics I could get into as an elementary student. I was in tae-kwon-do when I was 5 yrs old and stayed interested with it for a couple years. I got out of Tae-kwon-do when I was 7 with my red/black belt, which I would never end up finishing. I was very close to my uncle and he was in Tae-kwon-do and Aikido. He finished his Aikido black belt and got into a Japanese style called Ju Jitsu. I joined him when I was 8 because I missed being in martial arts. I fell in love with the style ju jitsu where I finished my black belt and helped my uncle create a new style named Kombat Ju-Jitsu. It combined Tae-kwon-do, Aikido, Japanese ju jitsu, and Brazilian jiu-jitsu. We opened our first school out of his garage when I was 12 and had 10 students mostly from church. We soon grew out of the garage into a building in Benton, Arkansas and started doing women’s self defense courses and training police in self defense techniques. At this time in my life I was 14 and I started hanging out with the wrong crowd. I was training people in a disciplined style of martial arts and teaching them respect when I was living a life of being disrespectful and dishonest outside of the dojo. This was affecting my martial arts lifestyle as well and when I turned 16 I moved to Kentucky and left the martial arts dojo. I cleaned

up my act and taught my friends that were around me on sports teams Kombat Jiu-jitsu and visited frequently back to Arkansas for testing. I went to college in Kentucky where I found out quickly I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t meant for college in that time of my life and signed up to serve my country in the U.S.Navy as a Hospital Corpsman. I went through corps school learning basic medical assistant training and then went to field medical service school where I trained with marines and learned battlefield medicine. I got my first taste of Marine Corps martial arts here and it reignited my passion for martial arts. I then was transferred to Gulfport, Mississippi when I was 19 and met my future sensei in Kempo. I started training in Kempo Comba Tai and sharing my knowledge of Kombat Jiu-jitsu to the kids. I was sent out to Little Creek, Virginia where I spent 6 months training with Navy SEALS and doing medical support for their jump and water ops. I tried to get into BUDâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s during my time with them and passed all my physical endurance tests. They tested me and wanted to make sure I could swim like a fish, run like a deer, and had the courage of a lion. I passed all these tests because I had dedication to whatever I put my mind to, due to my life in martial arts. Unfortunately my heart defect would come back to haunt me and I was disqualified due to my inability to dive underwater. This news crushed my dream of being a Navy SEAL but later I would find out God had different plans for my life. Before I left Little Creek my commander sent me on a mission to guard President Bush Jr. and President Bush Sr. while the Russian president came to visit and fish with them. I got to meet the President of the United States on my 20th birthday and I was in charge of medical support if something were to happen while they were fishing. I was nervous and honored to be there. I came back to Gulfport, MS where I trained under Grand Master Rick Barber again and increased my knowledge in martial arts as well as teaching the style in a Godly way. I transferred to the reserves in Nashville, Tennessee 8 months later and started working as a civilian again. I made a couple moves to North Carolina, Kentucky, and finally Arkansas trying to find a place where I felt like I belonged. I started back in college for nursing but changed it to business after learning civilian and military medicine is a different world. I was training back with my uncle at Kombat Jiu-Jitsu and trained in Machado Jiu-Jitsu with my uncle as I entered the world of cage fighting. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stay in cage fighting long due to its lack of respect and discipline. I felt that one of the most important

parts of martial arts is the discipline, respect, and family feeling you get from your fellow teammates and this was left out in the cage fighting world. Martial art without these important cores is just street fighting. I was also fitting in the partying crowd and drinking and had to get away from this lifestyle. In May of 2011, I returned to Gulfport, Ms. for one of the most grueling test that anyone could take. The test was for Combat Specialist in the martial art of kempo-Comba Tai. This was a life changing test that put my skills as a martial artist and my mental and spiritual skills to the ultimate test. It was that night that I was accepted into the royal order of the Sword and shield and knighted as a Combat Specialist and awarded the rank of 3rd degree black belt. When I was 23, I was riding my motorcycle home from my uncle’s house and swerved to miss a deer doing 70 mph and flipped head first. I was rushed to the E.R. where I was told I was the luckiest man alive. I broke my collar bone and had road rash but my God saved my life because He needed me for an important job. I pondered on what would have happened if I would have died and what I would have been remembered for and it made me decide I needed to get back to being close to God. I stopped drinking and soon met my wife who is a pastor’s daughter. We started dating and I got back into God’s house and we were engaged 2 months later and married in June. I was 24 and began teaching martial arts at church. I started a youth ministry called Warriors For Christ. I taught martial arts discipline as well as bible knowledge, training warriors spiritually that could also defend themselves physically. This lasted a year until I realized God was calling me to be a preacher. I surrendered my life to do God’s will and preach His word on October 22, 2012. With my new calling I started Faith Bible Institute and did a semester in this school while I finished my associate’s in business at Arkansas State. I transferred to Gethsemane Bible Institute the spring semester of 2013 where I plan on finishing my Bachelor’s in theology. I am the youth leader at Union Grove Missionary Baptist Church where I teach kids how to fight their battles spiritually with the Word of God and I also teach them discipline and respect with the knowledge of Jui-Jitsu and kempo, to use them for defense only due to the increasingly difficult challenges Christians face every day and persecution that is becoming more predominate in the U.S.. I served my country and defended the freedoms of Americans and now I Serve my God and show people they have an

opportunity to be free from sins. To anyone reading this I pray that you strive to do your best not only for you but for God so that you can feel the joy that God gives. The satisfaction that you get from knowing God is using you to make the world a better place and you make a difference in people’s lives. When someone gives you a hug and tells you that they love you and you made a difference in their life, there is not enough money in the world that can replace that feeling. I warn you though martial arts and serving God takes dedication, it takes discipline and you have to have respect to your senseis to learn all you can and apply it to your everyday living but I have faith if I can achieve:       

Then you can achieve anything you set your mind to. Just let go and let God lead the way, “I can do all things through Christ which strengthen me.” Philippians 4:13 (KJV) whenever you feel weak remember, “Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus” 2 timothy 2:1 (KJV) God bless you.

Grand Master Terry L’Anglois is a Degradus 7 Combat Specialist and 7th Dan in Kempo Comba-Tai and was promoted to Combat Specialist in the Order of the Sword and Shield in 1994. Grand Master L’Anglois entered the Comba-Tai when he was 18 in 1991 after being introduced to Grand Master Jones by Jason Laidlaw who then was a young purple belt. Back then, Purple Belt was the rank of beginning instructor and thus Jason Laidlaw had the right to submit his name to the Sovereign Grand Master as a potential student. For the next three years he would undergo grueling training at the Fort Mac Arthur Air Force Base Gym five days a week from 5-6 hours. In 1992 he was accepted into the Okuden and allowed to engage in the First Test or Okuden Test, that is, the hidden teachings. In this test all of Universal Sovereign Grand Master Alonzo M. Jones students were evaluated to train for induction into the Order of the Sword and Shield. In 1994 L’Angloise was tested and passed for induction into the Order. In 1993, however, he had been teaching as a Black Belt for the young Olympians with the authorization of Grand Master Jones, this allowed Terry L’Angloise a means of income as he funded his way through U.S.C. after leaving the military. In that same year in during a seminar, O’sensei Phillipe Porter (http://www.wwmaa.org/osensei.htm )—the second highest ranking Judoka in the world-- saw him and his class mate Roderick Deleaver—who was also a purple belt—demonstrating their Comba-Tai skills and both were promoted to black belt in Jujitsu and brown belt in Judo on the spot. Sovereign Grand Master Terry L’Angloise is honored for his commitment to teaching classes in the inner cities of Los Angeles which gave youth the opportunity to learn martial arts that ordinarily would not have the ability to afford it. Soon Grand Master Jones selected L’Angloise to head the intellectual division of the Order of the Sword and Shield called the Order of the.

BIOGRAPHY THE ROYAL WARRIOR FAMILY LEGAL CLAIM: Legitimate royals are born, adopted, or ennobled by one of royal lineal decent for heroic noble actions. It is this tradition that is embodied in the approach to granting royal titles to Combat Specialist for achieving knight hood in the Royal Order of the Sword and Shield, the American Order descendent from the Knights of Saint Anthony and the Royal Blood Line. Hence they are a part of the royal family. Accepting royal elevation in this regard signifies their devotion to the royal way of life, that is, Truth, Justice and Universal Order as decedents of the Royal Davidic line by the union of the Queen of Sheba and King Solomon and their descendent Prince Menelik called the Solomonic Blood Line. Because of their service and induction into the Royal Order, Combat Specialist and all their decedents are entitled to legal hereditary royal titles until their 18th birthday when they must enter into a Rite of Passage. Kings and Queens are not born they are made by their noble training and devotion to a way of life. Our nobility is based on our noble service to other members of the human family so that we elevate all men as nobility. I pray YHWH Elohem bestow the power of the Holy Spirit through Eashoa M’sheeka our Lord and savior on you and your decedents as protectors of the human family. This is your charge, -– Universal Sovereign Grand Master Prince Alonzo M. Jones, lineal descendent of King Solomon through the House of Shewa and the 25th Dynasty through the Nubian Madjay Prince Giorgis Warren. May God bless you more than you can ask or think! Dominus Vobiscum Semper Fidelis!

Sovereign Grand Master Tracy Laidlaw came into the World Combat Academy when the emphasis was no longer on tournaments but developing instructors as defenders of the faith. In fact the final division of the Order of the Sword and Shield was the Knights of Light. Her Husband Grand Master Jason Laidlaw was the Sovereign Grand Master of the Order until Tracy became a Combat Specialist and she was officially placed over the order so that her Husband could reign as the Negusa Negast of the Nation of Comba-Tai. At this time Sovereign Grand Master Tracy “Shooting Star” Laidlaw was inducted as a Knight of the Sword and Shield, a direct descendent of the Abyssinian Order of Saint Anthony. In addition she was given the name Kandace from the first line of Medjay Queens from the land of Kush. Sovereign Grand Master Jones at this time believed that someone aspiring to become an instructor in the Combat Academy must think of themselves as being tested daily. Grand Master Tracy Laid law used her writing skills to create pamphlets and adjust the writing of the Combat Academy to include creating a curriculum called Numani, named in honor of Soke Jones’ daughter which emphasized the importance of females learning martial arts. Tracy’s royal name was “Shooting Star” but finally grew into S.T.A.R. (Strength, Timing, Agility and Resourcefulness) which became the philosophical acronym for Combat Survival training in the World Combat Academy. At this time it was impossible to be promoted to any high level rank without showing a dissemination of the Comba-Tai inheritance to the world. She did this by assisting her Husband in formulating curriculums and teaching approaches which have impacted Arizona churches and Arizona school system. In addition she assisted the Los Angeles schools with her literary assistance of the creation of Cory Jitsudo for kids to learn the self development skills of martial arts. In 1996 she was promoted to Combat Specialist. In 2001 when her Husband was elected to Negusa Negast, she was elected as Kandace (Queen Mother) of the Nation of Comba-Tai. She is the first Female promoted to Combat Specialist on American soil. Her specialty consisted of Judo, Iado, Kenjutsu, Medjay Wrestling, Arnis Demano, Nerve Attacks and Boxing. The Sword is my body which is my weapon; the shield is my mind and that which I use to protect the sword. I shall never use these abilities accept in defense of myself or others, for this beautiful gift for which I have been given is given of God. For we, the royal warrior nation of Comba-Tai, submit ourselves to divine sovereignty from everlasting to everlasting. Amen!

Sifu Nikole Lapitan is a descendent of one of the most ancient names in Hawaii. She met Soke Mylemu Alonzo M. Jones through her father William Lapitan. William Lapitan and Professor Jones were stationed in the republic of the Philippines in 1983 while serving in the United States Air Force. He witnessed Grand Master Jones winning for the second time, The Asian World No Holds Barred Championships, the Philippine American Championships, the Interservice Pacific Wide Championships, and the Pacific Boxing Championships. William Lapitan became one of Dr. Jones’s students and trusted friend after they each matched their skills in the ring on Clark Air Force Base. Years later William Lapitan had a daughter, Nikole Lapitan. One day while Nikole was standing on the Grand Master’s lap at 2 years old, Sensei Lapitan and his wife asked if one day when their daughter got older, that Grand Master Jones would teach her the ancient tradition of Comba-Tai and consider making her a Knight of the Royal Blood Line of the Sword and Shield. Sovereign Grand Master Jones replied yes. When Nikole was 13 years old she got into a fight on a school bus in which a bully pushed her around. At the time Grand Master Jones had just retired from the United States Air Force and was traveling through Las Vegas where William Lapitan was living. Sensei William Lapitan repeated the request to have the Sovereign Grand Master teach his daughter. Dr. Jones stayed in Las Vegas and taught Nikole and had her working with him to change gang involved youth at Nevada Partners, Inc. while Dr. Alonzo M. Jones was on the Southern Nevada Gang Task Force in dangerous Las Vegas. He trained her in Aloe Pendage, kickboxing, Arnis, Kenjutsu, Knife Fighting, Wing Chung, Boxing, Goju, Judo and Jujitsu, Kampo as well Kempo which are all parts of Kempo Comba-Tai which also included an African tradition of martial arts called Geziret el Malik. At 13, Dr. Jones noticed how determined and tenacious Nikole was as a fighter, with this in mind he gave her the warrior name, “YANG.” At the age of 16 she was Ozawa world championship. Upon her 18th Birthday, she was personally tested and inducted into the Order of the Sword and Shield and was adopted into the House of Shewa through the Solomonic Royal Blood Line as a Knight of the Sword and Shield, also called Combat Specialist. Her official and legal royal title became “Princess Nikole”. She later went away to college and taught mixed martial arts at a fitness center to finally become the host of “Kicking It” on Black Belt TV https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n3LLVQqaJwc . Nikole is currently living in California.

BIOGRAPHY Sharay started her martial arts training at the age of 2 years old. She was brought to the 19th street community center with her older brothers who had just started training under Grand Master Rick Barber. Although she was very young and was not an official member of the class, she would run around the dojo imitating the kicks and punches. When she was 11 years old when she officially started her training in the Comba-tai. She was such an intense fighter and competitor that one day during class, she threw a kick so hard that she broke her foot. This did not deter her from her training. She would still come to class even though the doctor said to stay off her foot. Grand Master Rick would not allow her to train, but she could sit and watch. After she was healed, she resumed her training. Over her young martial arts career she NEVER came in second place in any competition. She is one of the 2 female black belts to place first in every fighting division she has ever competed in. Whether it was point, koshiki, grappling, or continuous sparring, she defeated every competitor she came up against. She is a United States Karate Alliance World Champion and national karate champion in several different tournaments. In 2012, at the age of 16 years old, Sharay received the blow that would forever change her life. One of her brothers was killed because of mistaken identity. He was killed just a few months before she was scheduled to take the Combat Specialist test. Before he died, he told her how proud he was that she was going to be taking the test. This motivated her to complete the test and be inducted into the Royal Order of the Sword Shield. She was a part of the first ever all female Combat Specialist test. This test consisted of 4 females who were tested by Grand Master Rick Barber, Grand Master Tellias Saucier Jr., Grand Master Marcus Page Jr., Kohi Master Dr. Nyron Marshall, and Kohi Master Bryan Fulmer. The young girls at the Gulfport school love to train under Sensei Sharay. When she enters the room their excitement cannot be contained. She is admired by so many and has assisted in the training of several black belts young and old.

BIOGRAPHY Alicia R. Ransom at the youthful age of 36 started her martial arts journey. She met Grandmaster Rick for an injury she had sustained at the Branch Medical Clinic, at the Navy Seabee Base a year prior to entering the Combat Academy School of Martial Arts and Fitness. She noticed the trophy’s he had on his desk and inquired to which art he practiced. Grandmaster Rick asked her to come out and participate. Alicia was optimistic at first but after further thought she decided to join. It was a chance for her to stay in shape and to do something for herself. Although she was the only adult female in the class amongst children and a few adult males, it did not stop her from beating Grandmaster Rick to class and was there any time the door was open to get in a much as she could. Alicia took her love for the art by bringing her daughter Jazmine, now 18 with her to class. Being diagnosed with Autism at the age of 3 years old this has not stopped her daughter from being promoted to Jr. Green belt currently. Less than a year into training Alicia competed and won a World Championship title in koshiki and in continuous sparring in 2009 along with numerous accomplishments in other tournaments. Not only is Master Alicia a World Champion she was also inducted into the Master’s Hall of Fame in 2011, to be one of the first black women to be inducted from the Gulf Coast of Mississippi. Besides the Masters Hall of Fame and several World Titles Alicia says, “Nothing compares to being one of the first woman combat specialist with four other amazing women from Gulfport, MS”. Master Alicia was 39 years old when she took the test, the oldest female on record to this day. After completing the test there was nothing that she said she couldn’t accomplish. Alicia is also a member of the Navy Reserves with 13 years of service as an Operation Specialist currently working in a Master at Arms billet. She was one of 50 chosen out of 500 applicants to work on the 2013 inaugural detail for President Barack Obama. She is a Career Counselor, a Small Arms instructor and a certified trainer for the Navy. Master Alicia has taken her love for Kempo and has

conducted training for the NR NSF Security unit on self- defense. Currently she works for NASA as as a civilian Financial Management Specialist and has written a proposal that has been approved to conduct yearly self -defense demonstrations for the employees at Stennis Space Center and is hoping to conduct demonstrations throughout the other NASA locations around the country. The Boys and Girls Club on the Gulf Coast who she calls her children and Grandmaster Ricks Grandkids, is the first school that she has been teaching at as the chief instructor for 2 years. Master Alicia teaches children as well as adults. Something that started out just being a way to stay in shape has become a part of Master Aliciaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life. Who would of thought that a 36 year old single mother of two would become a Combat Specialist, World Champion, Masters Hall of Famer, and let alone to have her own dojo. This is nothing but God. I thank God first and foremost without him none of this would have ever been possible. I would also like to take this time to say thank you to my beautiful children Jazmine and Monique for putting up with me over the years. I LOVE YOU BOTH!! Grand Master Rick has also been a great inspiration and supporter in my personal and martial arts life. He has given me a gift that I have been able to bless others with. I am hoping that my story will inspire other young girls, and other women to follow their dreams. To All my Combat Academy Brothers and Sister Oooush!! Simper Fidelis!!

BIOGRAPHY As a native of Shreveport, Louisiana, his loving mother, Bridget Riley, reared him along with his brother and sister. Growing up in the inner cities of Dallas and Shreveport, he was exposed to many things at an early age. Starting elementary school in Shreveport, LA he rode Bus 215 with all of his friends, where fighting became his bus fare. He had more fights on the bus and after school as an elementary student, than most new boxing novices have today. After moving to Dallas, he walked to his middle school, which took away the bullying, but there were still a few that would make the cut. His reality was a daily invasion of privacy due to metal detectors and police escorts to class. This was a direct result of the intense level of violence in the school. He states, “I’m not saying I was the best fighter and never lost a fight, but I did have heart and that NEVER QUIT attitude to endure the fight. I was not only a fighter in the streets, I fought in the classroom as well.” Although a fighter, he still managed to defeat the odds. As a student, Adrianyon maintained honor roll and impeccable athleticism. He ran track, played football and basketball, and was a member of the wrestling team. These sports help build the stamina and character he has today. After graduating from high school and beginning college on an athletic scholarship, he decided to join the U.S. Navy. While stationed in California, Illinois, and Mississippi, he served his country as a Navy Hospital Corpsman, deploying over 12 times. He received countless accolades for his dedication and versatility as a Naval Special Warfare Independent Corpsman. Although serving in the military unselfishly, he still yearned to serve the community through martial arts and other organizations. Some of the organizations included Sea Cadets, Prince Hall Free and Accepted Masons of MS, Boys & Girls Clubs of the Gulf Coast, and the Children World Learning Center of San Diego. As a young child, he was driven to learn martial arts and quickly picked up the basics of Capoeira from a childhood friend. Years later, he studied the art of Tae Kwon Do and still uses the skills he was given years ago. In 2005, he reestablished his ties with martial arts through Marine Corps Martial Arts (MCMAP) and in 2007 he began to train again in Tae Kwon Do under Master Richard Santiago. He attained his first degree Black Belt in 2009 for MCMAP and his

first Dan in 2010 from the International Tae-kwon-Do Association (ITA). During this time, he was introduced to Kempo Comba-Tai through Grand Master Rick Barber of World Combat Academy. Here, he was also introduced to a plethora of styles. These styles, coupled with what he had learned years ago as a child, gave him the opportunity to be the Champion he is today. He competes for the first time at the United States Karate Alliance World Championships 2009 Tournament and won first place in Ippon, Koshiki, and team fighting events. He currently holds the rank of third degree black belt and the title of Combat Specialist, as an instrumental instructor for the World Combat Academy.

My martial arts journey began with self defense courses in a Chicago community center a very long time ago. It continued throughout my life and military career. I received training in boxing Jiu Jitsu, kung fu, Kenpo, Krav Maga and a host of other arts during my lifetime. I received my first Black Belt in Tae Kwan Do from Kukiwon, Seoul Korea in 1994 while stationed at Osan AB as a computer programmer. My journey in Comba Tai began soon thereafter. I met Grand Master Alonzo M. Jones while stationed at Los Angeles AFB, California as a young Lieutenant. Grand Master Jones accepted me as a student in 1999 and I've been following his teachings ever since even going so far as following him to Las Vegas where I continued to learn and instruct others. I attained the rank of Combat Specialist in 2005. It was the most difficult journey of my life and I'm proud to say I made it through. I can't say I was in shape for it (I can't say ANYONE is EVER in shape for the Combat Specialist test), but I can say that I persevered and am a better man for running the gauntlet. I've lived the Majesty of Comba Tai and shared it with friends and co-workers. As an instructor I've coached military and law enforcement personnel in pressure points and control tactics, females in basic and advanced self defense, and both children and adults in self-defense and fitness. I used the teachings and discipline gained through the Grand Struggle to enhance every aspect of my life. PVSF, Michael “Ronin” Scott, CS D5 Retired Major United States Air Force

BIOGRAPHY Dashawn R. Thompson was born September 14, 1978 in Los Angeles, Ca to Sherryl and Curtis Thompson. As an infant DaShawn moved to Gulfport, MS where he was raised in the Historic Turkey Creek Community. His parents were divorced and his Uncle Anthony took on the role of a father until his death. Around the age of two he was introduced to his stepfather, Alvin Bester who is the Father of younger sister and Martial Artist Master Monica Bester. During DaShawn’s early years his older cousins and brother didn’t like him hanging with them. This is why he was known for fighting and speaking his mind. In the streets is where he learned the importance of loyalty and respect. DaShawn also joined the choir at Mt. Pleasant United Methodist Church. Not a good singer he left choir and returned back to the streets. DaShawn hoped of finding what was missing in his life. – He was the middle child and didn’t want to talk about his problems much. Growing up without much, he felt as if the world owed him- and the streets was the way to get it back. DaShawn was a small time drug dealer. He used his money to help others and pay bills around the house. He never was in the game for the fame. His reason was for surviving. In 1997 he graduated from Harrison Central High School. Later that year he was setup and jailed for drugs. His sentence was 3 years of probation and fines. During this probation his girlfriend became pregnant. Hanging with the wrong people he was jailed again and charged for a crime he didn’t commit....two months before baby due. On December 28, 2000 DaShawn found exactly what he was searching for in the streets, a son Khyri Thompson. The transition to fatherhood slowed down the negativity in his life. Though he was not there for his birth, he has made every attempt to let his son know that he is always there for him. The same pain of being fatherless as a child helped DaShawn to be a better father and mentor to others. DaShawn was in jail for over a year. When he got out he found work as a carpenter and a plumber's assistant. He was trying to stay on the right path. In 2003 a man named Flowers White, asked him to go to aerobic kickboxing class at Turkey Creek Community Center. After a few classes, he was asked by Grand Master Rick Barber if he was interested in training in the Martial Arts and asked if he would be interested in joining World Combat Academy School of Martial Arts. His passion to do what he loved (fight) grew. He was the first one there and the last

one to leave every day. He loved being there so much he would clean up the center just to be there. 2003 DaShawn competed in U.S.K.A. (United States Karate Alliance) World Karate championships in New Orleans, Louisiana. He placed first in continuous sparring and in full contact koshiki. In the point sparring competition he was cheated out of his first place and took second. It was because of this reason his determination to win drove him to train harder for the next year in preparation for the next world tournament. The 2004 U.S.K.A. tournament was much different, with a calmer attitude and increased confidence he took first without allowing a single point to be score against him. He also took first again in continuous sparring and second in koshiki. DaShawn was rewarded most dedicated male student of the year of 2003. In 2004 DaShawn was asked to leave the school after he wouldn’t obey an order from the Grand Master. This only added to the already stressed and depressed man. He turned back to the life of the streets. 2005 he was working as a delivery driver at a furniture store, when hurricane Katrina destroyed the coast. During this storm, DaShawn risked his own life, braving the flood water saving the lives of several people in the Turkey Creek Community. He was the one who started a team that saved many lives in his neighborhood, only to find out someone else got credit for it. Because he worked for the city, he received two medals from President Bush. DaShawn was not angry because his reason for what he did was not done for any credit. He told everyone he's not a hero, he was just doing what was right. His story made the paper and he was named the “Storm Walker”. After the storm he lost most of his things when the roof caved in during storm and he ended up losing his job, because he needed a day off to get power and water turn on at his new place. It was difficult for him to find a job; all of his past jobs eventually let him go once they found out his past record. All he could do was go back to what he knew... the streets. He hit them hard and made so much money, but still wasn’t happy. He got back with his first love and she gave him something to look forward to. She was the first person to stand up to him, to let him know selling drugs was wrong. He told her he was going to leave it alone and he started his own construction company. He tried and wanted to leave the streets, but it was too late for him. His door got kicked in and he was charged for drugs in 2006. Still wanting this change he stayed away from drugs and spent his time with his son. DaShawn spent so much time at his son’s schools that he received Mrs.Watts' kindergarten Parent of the Year Award. His son's teacher even got him a job with her husband at H.W.Marine working on boat motors. In 2007 DaShawn, went to prison for his charges. He served a few years, and then was released on parole. During his incarceration, he turned back to God. He also took the time to find out that spending time with son is worth any amount of money. His son told him that being there is worth more than any gift in the world. In 2011, Grand Master Baber was calling looking for DaShawn Sister Kohi Master Bester when DaShawn answered the phone. The two talked and set up a meeting. After the meeting, DaShawn was once again a student and helped teaching at Good Deeds. On December 16, 2011 he was tested for his black belt and was promoted to 2nd degree black belt. He then started helping Kohi Master Alicia Ranson, teach at her school at the Boys and Girls Club in Bay St.Louis, Ms. On February the 4, 2013 Grand Master Rick sent him to take over teaching at the Forest Heights Boys and Girls Club in Gulfport, Ms. On May 10, 2013 he

became a Combat Specialist after being tested and promoted to 3rd Dan. DaShawn's goal is to leave the world better than the way he found it. He works with the youth with the hope he can change their life so they wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to go through what he has. He tries to encourage people to live a healthy life by the way of martial arts. He wants everyone to know that life gets hard sometimes, but you should never give up on life or your dreams. You have to get tested to have a testimony. Life is what you make it, live it to the fullest. Thanks to all that came before me and the ones that will come after.

THE ROYAL WARRIOR FAMILY LEGAL CLAIM: Legitimate royals are born, adopted, or ennobled by one of royal lineal decent for heroic noble actions. It is this tradition that is embodied in the approach to granting royal titles to Combat Specialist for achieving knight hood in the Royal Order of the Sword and Shield, the American Order descendent from the Knights of Saint Anthony and the Royal Blood Line. Hence they are a part of the royal family. Accepting royal elevation in this regard signifies their devotion to the royal way of life, that is, Truth, Justice and Universal Order as decedents of the Royal Davidic line by the union of the Queen of Sheba and King Solomon and their descendent Prince Menelik called the Solomonic Blood Line. Because of their service and induction into the Royal Order, Combat Specialist and all their decedents are entitled to legal hereditary royal titles until their 18 th birthday when they must enter into a Rite of Passage. Kings and Queens are not born they are made by their noble training and devotion to a way of life. Our nobility is based on our noble service to other members of the human family so that we elevate all men as nobility. I pray YHWH Elohem bestow the power of the Holy Spirit through Eashoa M’sheeka our Lord and savior on you and your decedents as protectors of the human family. This is your charge, -– Universal Sovereign Grand Master Prince Alonzo M. Jones, lineal descendent of King Solomon through the House of Shewa and the 25th Dynasty through the Nubian Madjay Prince Giorgis Warren. May God bless you more than you can ask or think! Dominus Vobiscum Semper Fidelis!

BIOGRAPHY I Darron Turner was born in St. Louis Missouri on March 10, 1969 to young Anne McKay, daughter of Ertis McKay. My grandfather Ertis McKay had a relationship and deep abiding love with Ms. Jessie Lee Turner, who adopted me at the age of 6 months old. We lived in a small one bedroom trailer in a rural area in Gulfport, Ms. in the early 1970’s times were crucial and every dollar counted. Self sacrifices were made by this incredible woman.. I saw clothing washed on washboards b hand. During the summer there was no air conditioning and windows had to be let up to feel the warm outdoor air. During the winter I can remember blowing air out of my mouth and seeing the clouds of cold air in front of my face. We had a gas stove and extra blankets to keep warm. I remember wanting to play outdoors with friends but having to pick up cans along the road with my mother to have extra spending money. I was teased by the other children about having an “old woman” for a mother. During those times my young mind and heart yearned for my mother and father. There was not much said about my father, I never knew him. It was not until later on in my life that I began to realize what a jewel I had and how blessed I was to be raised by my mother Jessie Lee Turner. I can remember momma getting up every Saturday morning preparing sandwich meals, for our long days at the fishing banks. The fish became part of our weekly meals because that didn’t have to be bought out of the $25.00 pay earned, where mom would clean at the white private owned homes. I was taught to be a man by momma Jessie. At age nine she taught me to hunt squirrels and rabbits. Later she showed me how to use a gun to hunt. She walked beside me at age eleven years old with a lawn mower teaching me how to keep yards groomed, which later helped me to make a few dollars. I was taught cooking and many other life skills and lessons all while being taught about the Lord and the bible. Momma could not read or write but she taught me the value of how to make a dollar. She made sure I didn’t miss a day of school. She would spend her hard earned money to make sure I had clothes on my back while she wore hand me down under garments and clothing. Because of momma’s lack of education my neighbor’s kids would help me with my homework and explain to momma about the letter grades on y report card and what they meant. I was so mischievous I was unable to go on to the sixth grade due to clowning around. I felt the raft of the leather strap and I soon got busy learning. After being chastised and applying myself I

was promoted to the sixth grade within a few months. I was encouraged through the years to play sports such as, football and track. I became an All American in running track and major scholarships. I chose to let go of my dream of track and pursue my passion which was football. I graduated on May 20, 1987 and in that same year I had a child at an early age. I received a two year scholarship to Perkingston Junior College where I was an outstanding football player. I played one year at Perkingston and was noticed by a recruiter, Jerry Reese from the University at UTM. My major was Criminal Justice with a minor in Sociology. I pledged Omega Psi Phi while there “Spring of 91”. Pledging opened up a world of fun beyond belief. I am a Q dog with frat brothers for life. While in college I had the privilege of try outs for football combine. I was disappointed after being cut from the team, not going pro and I no longer wanted to complete college. I returned home and became a construction worker at Roy Anderson Construction Co. I moved on to become a security guard for Grand casino and was soon promoted to table game dealer. I met and married Adrian Crosby and together we have three beautiful children; Shameek Moore Jr., Alaziah, and Allanah Turner. I left the casino shortly after the twins were born and became a long shore man at the local marina in Gulfport. I met Garreth “Rick” Barber who became my Sensei, mentor, and friend in the world of martial arts. This training has forged into a brotherhood of unity. Although already disciplined as a man, the world of Martial Arts has taught me to be disciplined in all areas of life. The use of martial arts at the Combat Academy made me more astute in the world around me. The togetherness and unity I feel with the men and women have created a lasting bond It is my ultimate goal to further my training and set an example for the youth that come through the doors of the Combat Academy. It is a surreal sense of pride that I feel in Martial Arts. It is also the most challenging form of humility. I competed and in several national tournaments and in 2009 I won my first World Championship Karate title. It was one of the highlights of my martial Arts career. I was tested and promoted to 1st Degree Black Belt in 2010 in the presence of grand Master barber and Grand Master Parham. Then in May of 2013 I tested and completed the rigorous and challenging Combat Specialist test. This pushed me to my mental and physical limits. I was promoted to Combat Specialist 3rd degree Black belt on that night. I am proud of all my accomplishments. I am proud of the life that God blessed me with. I also don’t consider my life as a hardship story, but that of favor and encouragement to others. Everything that I have gone through has helped shape me into the man that I am today; a humble man, a hard working man, and a Godly man. May my life story bring encouragement and inspiration to all who read it.

Semper Fidelis……

“Comba-Tai is a weapon in my arsenal to accomplish my greatest mission and highest level task. It allows me to spread The Gospel of Jesus Christ through Martial Arts. We are allowed to touch the lives of young people and show them right from wrong and the power of God working in our lives and theirs. I am appreciative of all my Martial Arts Instructors and the time and effort they instilled in me; however I owe Dr. Jones a major thank you for meeting me at 6 am (meaning he had to be up at 4am) for specialized training, and for teaching me (along with Sensei Bob Glass) that Martial Arts were not ‘evil’ and could be used for the greater good. I am thankful for the whole Comba-Tai Family for making me welcome wherever I meant them in

my travels. Also I am thankful for the History lessons, as I am now supporting persecuted Christians in the Nuba Mountains. They are now under severe attack and I would not be able or moved to help without what I have been taught in Comba-Tai” G. Master Darryl White Soke Dr. Alonzo M. Jones also speaks highly of Master Darryl White when he says, “Master White is also a minister of the Gospel and a man with an extraordinary heart to serve kids and our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He was never afraid to teach the mighty name of the Lord with strength and incredible love. Master White’s love and overwhelming purpose exudes in everything he did while stationed at Los Angeles Air Force Base Space and Missle Systems. I recall that in one demonstration at Fort McArthur Air Force base, Darryl White was a young black belt. I asked him to demonstrate breaking boards. He got up to demonstrate board breaking and tried and failed several times. I asked him to stop amidst the crowds’ “Ahhs and OOOs!” He said, “Please don’t stop me, the kids (his students and their friends) are watching and I want them to know they must never give up until they succeed.” He put a glove on to hid his bleeding hand but the blood came through the glove, he hit the boards again but they failed to break and I knew his hand must be broken … I raised my hand in a gesture to stop his gallant try. As I stepped in to order him to stop he gave a blood curdling loud yell and stepped into the boards with complete body alignment. Before his hand touched the board I smiled … his hand hit the boards and there was a loud burst as the boards snapped. I never saw a crowd give such a standing ovation. When he looked at me I was shaking my head yes … yes you are ready. I knew then he was ready for Combat Specialist testing. To this day Master Darryl White’s legacy of teaching at Los Angeles Air Force Base and Fort McArthur continues to this very day. While he was the Manager of the Health and Wellness Center he inspired me to look at the science of Health and Wellness for martial arts. In that regard when he PCS’ed to another duty assignment I took over the Health and Wellness Center and carried on his work...the health and wellness center stands to this very day. Master White’s personality of dedication and determination to help and give a positive example reminded me of the stories my grandfather, Dr. S.A. Jones, told me of his Grand Father Betwoded Ras George Warran, the Knight of Saint Anthony from Ethiopia who lead raids on slave plantation to liberate abused Americans and their families. That is why I did not mind driving an hour each day starting at 3:00 a.m. to meet and train him for Combat Specialist. He would later use his skills to develop and train a generation of youth and adults who loved him as a master warrior. He is to be remembered as Betwoded Ras Darryl White, the Beloved Warrior. God Bless he and his wife for her support, for no Combat Specialist— if he is married-- can remain strong without the love and support of his wife. Likewise his respect for his wife was an example to our Comba-Tai Royal Family! Amen and Amen!”

BIOGRAPHY Cena Wright was born and raised in Jacksonville, FL. After graduating from high school in 1998, she attended Edward Waters College in Jacksonville, Fl. Realizing that she wanted more opportunity in her life Cena decided to join the United States Navy in April 1999. Cena served seven years in the Navy. During this time she was deployed in many overseas countries; she had the opportunity to visit Spain, Italy, Bahrain, Dubai and Djibouti, Africa. After leaving active duty Cena served her country in the Navy Reserves and Drilled with the Marine Corps for four years. After moving to Gulfport, Mississippi in 2007, Cena works as a member of the D.O.D. Security Police for the Naval Construction Battalion Center, Seabee Base. In April 2009 Cena met Grandmaster Rick Barber who invited her to try out martial arts at the Combat Academy in Gulfport. Cena initially felt that martial arts were maybe too difficult. She realized however that nothing is attained without self-discipline and determination and began to excel. Cena was first awarded Para-sensei and began to teach as the head instructor for the Boys & Girls club of D’Iberville. She was the first non Black Belt to ever be put in charge of a satellite school. Our Soke Dr. Alonzo M. Jones explains it is a tradition in Comba-Tai when those who are not yet instructors be called Para-sensei, which means they are working in conjunction with a certified instructor until they attain their certification. Para-Sensei is given when a non-black belt has demonstrated exceptional study and teaching ability commensurate with the rank of Shodan. On March 5, 2013 after a rigorous test, Cena was awarded her full Black Belt 1st degree and on May 10, 2013 she tested for Combat Specialist and was awarded

a 3rd degree Black Belt. As a role model, Cena wants to share her life experiences to help young women to become morally responsible, and realize their own self worth. Cena continues to train in the areas of kickboxing; grappling and sparring under the teaching of Grandmaster Rick Barber, Grandmaster Tellias Saucier Jr., and Grandmaster Mark Page Jr. She still is the head instructor at the Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Iberville Boys & Girls Club where she has grown the class in size and belt rank. Her students have competed in several tournaments and won first place medals in sparring, kata, and grappling divisions. She has helped teach several womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rape prevention and self defense seminars throughout the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Her love for her students and the enthusiasm that she brings to the dojo is one of the things that make her students love her and look forward to class. One of three female instructors on the Gulf Coast who has command of her own school, she exemplifies what is best in a woman, a Martial Artist, and a community leader.

I. Preface Greetings Combat Specialist! I humbly offer our story as your Soke Mylemu, Professor Emeritus and Universal Sovereign Grandmaster Dr. Alonzo M. Jones, the 337th Direct Descendent of the Royal Blood Line of the Sword and Shield, 137th Descendent of the Christian Kingdom, Defender of the Faith, Servant of Eashoa Msheekhah. Please understand that we use verbose titles not as a means to elevate our pride but to provide a chain of command in the Military Order of the Sword and Shield in our humble submission to Eashoa Msheekhah. If you are reading this, you have been inducted into the Royal Order of the Sword and Shield, also known as the American division of the Abyssinian Order of the Knights of Saint Anthony as the last living descendants of the “Solomonic Blood Line.” Consequently you wear the Eashoa Msheekhah ring as recipient of the Oldest Order of Knights in the World. I named our military strategy, Comba-Tai or Kempo-Comba-Tai and as such we use Budo belt ranking. But, originally Comba-Tai had only three ranks i.e. Combatant, Combat Fighter and degrees of Combat Specialist. Comba-Tai was developed in America, Philippines and Okinawa as a multidisciplinary system of Martial arts (weapons, grappling, striking and healing/Kampo). This system is the first true Mixed Martial Art Syllabus on American Soil (i.e. weapons, grappling, wrestling, striking and specific techniques in cognitive and physical development). Hence I would like to welcome you into the Oldest Order of Knights (Warriors) and Masons (Builders) in the world and charge you to remain faithful

as a warrior and builder to our ancient code of honor: truth, justice and universal order. In ancient times a Bomani was a specialist of combat, hence the name translates “mighty warrior” or in modern military parlance, “Combat Specialist.” Specialists of combat were more than elite fighters; they were builders, medics and academics that if abandoned on a desert island would eventually transform the desert into an oasis. Hence our English translation of Bomani is Combat Specialist. In ancient times Combat Specialist or Bomani was a title of honor bestowed on ancient elite Egyptian warrior scholars, who were tested in battle. The actual military order was Medjay. Medjay were the first knights complete with a code of chivalry: Truth, Justice and Universal Order. Combat Specialists are polished leaders that nurture peace in their mission to bless all the families of the earth. You are a defender of the faith of Eashoa Msheekhah and the mission he made clear to the world: The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free, to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor.

Always remember as warriors of virtue, “….you are chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, people who belong to God. You were chosen to tell about the excellent qualities of God, who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.” In that regard do not take our word but “Do your best to present yourself to God as an approved worker who has nothing to be ashamed of, handling the word of truth with precision.”

Pax Vobiscum Semper Fidelis II. COMBAT SPECIALIST LINEAGE Among Egyptian Historians there is great diversity as it relates to chronology. Some have criticized me for being a Manethoist based on some views of the inaccuracies of his Egyptian Kings list (Emery, p. 29, he then gives examples between different versions of Manetho’s list; Budge, ..King also compares different versions, pp. lxi-lxxiii). I belief that the Egyptian Priest Manetho was correct in his Kings List for several reasons: “By vocation Manetho was an Egyptian priest associated with the city of Serapis. He was not only well versed in the high Greek culture of his day, but he was also thoroughly familiar with Egyptian lore and could read hieroglyphics. He was the first Egyptian to write a history of his country in Greek.” (“Jacob in History,” Aharon Kempinski, Jan - Feb 1988, Biblical Archaeology Review.). I believe the documents Manetho took from were based on his first hand experience with reading Hieroglyphics that are now lost. Hence I accept his chronology which supports our oral tradition. However I welcome any reason debate on my conclusions with the ultimate goal of finding the truth and not winning the argument. In that regard, I offer Manetho list with our oral traditions of our lineage.

CHAPTER 2 KNIGHTS TEMPLAR CONNECTION? I have often been told by masons that they are descendent from our Order. Indeed, they are right; we are the oldest and highest Order of Chivalry in the world. The masons are the decedents of the Knights Templars which were trained in service and practice to be knights by the Ethiopian Order of the Knights of Saint Anthony. Indeed, a Combat Specialist is a trained Knight (warrior) and Mason (academic). In the year 1100 a special order of warrior commissioned by the Roman Catholic Saint Bernard of Clarvaux were establish for protecting and defending the Holy lands from the Saracens. The Knights of this time were monks and as such had been given oaths of Poverty, Chastity and Obedience. The Knights Templars are considered the first European Order of Knights. The Templars were an order of warriors founded when Hugues de Payns in 1118 recaptured Jerusalem. Then they were known as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Poor Knights of the Temple of Solomon." They were known as defenders of the faith. This typically met that their mission was to protect Christian travelers to the Holy Land. While theirs was a humble beginning they became formidable bankers in Europe because of the appreciation of their benefactors whom they protected and assisted from outlaws and thieves. During the Christian Crusades legend has it that they also had a base in Ethiopia under Emperor Lalibela who then expelled them later. While in Ethiopia, the Templars borrowed heavily from the traditions of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church. For example, the

well-known "Templar Cross pattee" is that of the Ethiopian Church. Templars wore a cord around their necks in imitation of the religious cord worn by Ethiopian Christians called a "Matab." It is believe that the Templars contributed to the great Rock Churches at Lalibela in modern Ethiopia.

CHAPTER 3 WORLD COMBAT ACADEMY In 2005 Negusa Negast His Imperial Majesty Garreth Barber was elected by a special council which included me, H.I.M. Sovereign Grand Master and Amir Robert D. Parham Jr, H.I.M. former Negusa Negast Jason Laidlaw and his wife H.I.M. Sovereign Grand Master of the Knights of Light, Kandace Tracy Laidlaw. H.I.M. Garreth Barber is recognized as the Negusa Negast 337th Direct Descendent of the Royal Blood Line of the Sword and Shield, 137th Descendent of the First Christian Kingdoms, Defenders of the Faith, Servant of Eashoa Msheekha. Subsequently as his consort (wife) H.I.M. Michele C. Barber was recognized as Nigiste Negest (Queen of Kings) to indicate that she is to be revered along with her husband. We did this to show the importance of the marriage to the right woman in maintaining leadership, strength and unity in our Christian Kingdom. In the American Knights of Saint Anthony i.e. Order of the Sword and Shield, a Negusa Negast that loses his wife; loses his position!!! Again I will implore you to please understand that we use these verbose titles not as a means to elevate our pride but to provide a chain of command in the Military Order of the Sword and Shield in our humble submission to Eashoa Msheekhah. Note*We are the defenders of the faith and therefore the defenders of the Human Family. In that regard we believe “If possible, so far as it depends on you, live in peace with all people.” (Romans 12:18). Hence I have historically forbid my instructors to use Christianity as a weapon of condemnation against other religions because we believe, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.”John 3:16,17. The scriptures are clear that the blessings of Christ were given freely to all as it was given to the servant of the Centurion in Luke 7:1,10. It is said that Eashoa marveled at the Centurion’s faith, even though it is likely the Centurion had not given his life to God, he was committed to goodness and Jesus honored that by allowing him earthly

healing. This is not to say that the Centurion’s good works will save him, but it is to say those who are not against us are for us, so let’s try to live in peace with men, after all they are not required to believe what we believe, but we are required to love them even if they are our enemies (Matthew 5:43-48). I was taught a military system of fighting by my grandfather, Rev. Dr. Samuel Adams Jones at a young age in New Orleans, Louisiana. Dr. S. A. Jones died in 1994 at 98 years of age. At my petition, Dr. S.A. Jones bestowed the birth right upon me after I received my D.Min degree from Eternal Word Graduate School, making me the Soul Heir Protector and Universal Sovereign Grand Master of an Order descendent of the Ethiopian Knights of Saint Anthony, The Royal Order of the Sword and Shield. I was all ways excited about martial arts and when I was 8 while visiting Los Angeles I was exposed to Koshen Judo that summer by my friend’s dad, David Oyama from Japan. I continued to informally study Judo when I returned to New Orleans. Later I would return to Los Angeles and train under Randy Banks who was a practitioner of Kempo in the Marine Corps and Jeet Kun Do and Arnis de Mano under Danny Inosanto at the Kali Academy in Torrance California. In love with Martial Arts as a life long student of Combat I studied other styles of martial arts. After joining the military I was stationed at Lackland Air Force Base Wilford Hall Medical Center in San Antonio where he was exposed to the “Blood and Guts” style of Point Sport Karate and Full Contact Karate under Arnold “Zip” White, "Sal" Narvaez and Larry Lockhart Sr. (Note* Dr. Jones never competed in Full Contact Karate in the United States.) In addition he competed with the United States Air Force Boxing Team. Later he would be stationed in the Philippines and studied martial arts there as well. Because of his earlier martial arts training as a child with his grandfather, Alonzo picked up on techniques easily. In the Philippines there was a virtual Smorgasbord board of martial arts, I began to study Wing Chung, Shaolin Kempo, boxing, Jujitsu, Judo, Iado/Kenjutsu, Kajukembo, Kick Boxing, Taekwondo, Goju Sabudo-Kai Karate-Do, Arnis De Mano and Capoera from various Instructors and earned the rank of Black Belt or Instructor in the following styles: Instructor in capoeira by Benny Durante and American Kempo Karate and arnis de mano, Randy Banks (1978). ), Certified United States Amateur Boxing Federation (USABF)1981. NI-Dan American Kempo Association (M. Arcos— #0126, 1983), Kali (Philippines, Grand Master Galio Laic--1984) , 6th Degree Black Belt by Kyoshi Jesus Sanchez Goju SabaBudokai--#CF017-08 -1990), United States Judo Association, San Dan, United States Judo Association Certified Examiner (O-Sensei Philip S. Porter --#309076, 1995, 7th Degree Black belt by Goju Saabudokai Association (Kyoshi Jesus Sanchez--# GB7170002, 1997), August 8, 2009 to Professor and Honorable Chief Grand Master, Ju-Dan Kuro-Obi (10th Degree Red Belt) in Goju SaabudoKai by O’Sensei Jesus Sanchez, in 2009.

We were promoted on August 8, 2009 to Professor and Honorable Chief Grand Master, Ju-Dan Kuro-Obi (10th Degree Red Belt) in Goju SaabudoKai by O’Sensei Jesus Sanchez, in 2009. This promotion is significant because O’sensei Jesus Sanchez was secular disciple of O’sensei Peter Urban (Grand Patriarch of all USA GoJu systems) who was a disciple of Gogen Yamaguchi. Also noteworthy is our promotion by the Judo legend, O’sensei Phillip Porter in Judo to Sandan and later was authorized to the promotion of Youndan by Phillip Porter. His first promotion was an on the spot promotion when Porter witnessed us fighting one of Porters Judo and Jujitsu World Champions in California in Rancho Cucamonga in 1995. We were made members of the United State Judo Association and Porter suggested to one of his students, Grand Master Jerome Ginsburge, that we should consider competing in the Olympics. This was significant since Porter is the most decorated American in Judo who was promoted to 10th Dan. Incidentally Jerome Ginsburge who scheduled the challenge match witnessed by 200 Judokas became our lifelong student and today is a Nanadan in Comba-Tai inducted into the Masters Hall of Fame. In his earlier years while in the Air Force, we became the Asian World Full Contact Champion, Pacific Boxing Champion and Inter-Service Pacific Wide Karate Champion. These experiences in fighting, led us to found the system of Kempo Comba-Tai and to write a basic curriculum called “The Madjesty of Comba-Tai” an unpublished narratives on meditation, history to include Judo, Boxing, Kempo Karate, Wing Chung, knife fighting, Arnis de Mano. In addition we also taught the skills shown to us by Dr. S.A. Jones. The culmination of all techniques of Comba-Tai Battlefield Combat is directed at destroying vision, respiration and mobility. Because this style of African Martial art was devised in America and many of the African names for techniques lost in the passage of time; we called the cultural tradition handed down to us by my grandfather, Comba-Tai. Comba-Tai was taken from two words, Comba and Tai. COMBA is taken from the French word Combattere which means to contend or STRUGGLE. TAI is taken from a Chinese word that means GRAND. Thus, Comba-Tai translates THE GRAND STRUGGLE. Through this system we claimed the monogenesis of humanities' common warrior lineage. We concluded that understanding our common unity should influence warriors everywhere to help the world in the struggle for peace. "The challenge of modern warriors is to help others with the light God has given them." We begin teaching free of charge at Wichita Fall Texas in at the School of Health Care Science (1981), Lackland Air Force Base (1981), Clark Air Force Base (1983-1984) and finally at Keesler Air Force Base in Biloxi, Mississippi in 1984. One of his first and most famous students is Grand Master Professor Robert D. Parham Jr who I met in 1985, while teaching at Blake Gym on Keesler Air Force Base. I gave Robert Parham the warrior name “Too Sweet” as he was known for his smooth movement that mimicked a martial art Muhammad Ali. He won world championship titles in light, middle, and heavyweight sparring divisions and was the WKKC Light Heavyweight Full Contact Karate Kickboxing Champion. This phenomenal Martial Artist in turn trained other legends in the Combat Academy such as Rick Barber, Grand Master Tellias Saucier Jr., and Master Mark Page II. There were several other disciplines of Martial Artist at Grand

Master Parham’s Dojo; from Hopkido to Tae Kwon Do, Shotokan, and Grappling instructors. Under the teaching of this great Martial Artist, Grand Master Barber, Grand Master Saucier, and Master Mark Page Jr. learned and in turn shared this art with others and currently run several schools on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. It is not my belief that any one country, culture, or people may claim to be the best in an art martial form, but it is what we all have contributed to the arts and to society over our lifetime.

Comba-Tai Karate-Do-Kempo The concept of Kempo Comba-Tai dates back over thousands of years and has its roots in Africa and Asia. Its principles are built on the fact that all styles of fighting have a purpose and a place in combat, and that there is no one style that is dominant, but that they all have their strengths and weaknesses. Before there were systems and styles there was fighting in its purest form. There was no difference between boxing, wrestling, or karate in the arena of combat. You simply used what abilities you had to acquire the victory. We teach basic and advanced fighting skills in the areas of striking, grappling, pressure points, joint manipulation, fitness, weapons, and healing. Today, according to Professor Barber: We have a wealth of instructors in the Comba-Tai that range from Kempo, Taekwondo, Judo, Jiu-Jit-su, Hopkido, Capoeira, Tai-Chi-Kwon, and Shotokan. We have been fortunate to have trained with these instructors, all of which have benefited and contributed to the teachings of Comba-Tai. There are several Sub Orders of the Order of the Sword and Shield representative of the American Order of Saint Anthony. The Grandmasters assigned as governors agreed to propagate Marketing, Christian Theology, Education, Health and Wellness and Military Skills and Child Hood Development. They are as follows: The division of the Orders answers to the elected Negusa Negast and Negus: 1. Dragon-knights – Mission is to propagate sports marketing of Comba-Tai 2. Knights of Light – Mission is to propagate Christian Theology of our history to the world. 3. Knights of the Dragon – Mission is to Propagate Health and Wellness of our Order to the World 4. Knights of the Cobra – Mission is to propagate Education throughout our Order 5. Young Knights – Mission to develop children strategies 6. Knights of the Mantis – Mission is battle field techniques

If a master of the Sub Order is inactive it is up to the Negusa Negast to choose a Combat Specialist to rule over the division as a part of his cabinet. In addition any Combat Specialist should have the ability to step into any of our five divisions and lead them appropriately because as a Combat Specialist one must be efficient in all 5 areas. Since 2009, The Negusa Negast, Sovereign Grand Master Professor Garreth Rick Barber C.S.D. 9th degree Black Belt Dai Shi-Han, was elected to govern over all the divisions of the Royal Order of the Sword and Shield. The branch of knights in Mississippi is known as the Southern Warriors the Order of the Dragon-Knights. The Sovereign Grand Master of the Order is Negus Tellias Saucier C.S.D. 9th Degree Black Belt Dai-Shihan, and Grand Master Mark Page Jr.C.S.D. 8th Degree Black Belt, Dai Shi-Han. Our system was heavily influenced by U.S. military philosophy of Combat and as such we adhere to an eclectic form of Combat that believes “What works, use it.” This includes weapons that emphasize destruction of eyes, throat and groin (i.e. Vision, respiration and mobility). We respect all martial arts because they all have the ability to end life as such we at

the Combat Academy put more emphasis on techniques that will help in an actual physical altercation. Because Comba-Tai is a lifelong study and all military arts have their strengths and weaknesses; originally The Combat Academy sought humble itself and mimic the Shaolin Temple and the Kodakan who were interested in recruiting professors from other systems so they could benefit from their learning, hence the two most powerful schools in martial art history. In that regard, we make a distinction between sport combat and battle field combat. Sport Combat is often with hands and feet and may last for three to five minutes, efficiency at battle field combat included weapons with the intent of destroying eyes throat and groin and should not last more than 15 seconds. It is no longer our intention to create efficient killers, but to build warriors of virtue who have as their mission “The Grand Struggle to help all people” and build communities with the “Spirit of Love in Action.” We claim that our system is better than others only in the sense of our selflessness. We recognize the importance of efficiency in attacking the eyes; throat and groin with conditioned weapons is an added and rare plus for current fighters.

Afro-Asiatic Persuasion The Kushites believed they were the representatives of the God Amun (Translated: the unknown God) to restore Ma’at (Traditional African Values of truth, justice, harmony, balance, universal order, reciprocity and honorable behavior). The Medjay would later evolve into an order of warriors that would protect Nubia for almost a thousand years. Finally the religious warrior order of knights formed to protect Ethiopia, known as the Knights of Saint Anthony are thought to be descendants of the Medjay’s warrior tradition. During the Zamana Masafent (Ethiopian dynastic feuds) warriors of this order escaped to America and today the order lives on in a tradition handed down to us by my grandfather, Dr. S.A. Jones. On October 22, 1987 two young men kneeled under a bridge in Biloxi Mississippi. One of the men is 21 year old Robert D. Parham Jr. He is an Airman in the United States Air Force. The other young man is an 18 year old civilian; his name is Sebron Jackson. They kneel in front of me as I held an ancient Egyptian Sword. Police arrive on the seen but do not intervene; the police were called by tenants living in houses across the street concerning a strange ritual taking place under the overpass adjacent to their homes. The police get out of their cars but do nothing but observe in silence. I can see the police, but I am reluctant to stop the ceremony because they are being respectful and observing. I’ve just posed three questions to Airman Robert Parham. He has answered the questions satisfactorily. I then raise the sword above his head and places it on his left shoulder and I say, “In the name of combattere (the Struggle),” then I move to his right shoulder and says “Natural Law,” and then I move the sword to the top of his head, “and the divine power bestowed upon us all” … raising the sword to the sky I said, “You shall be known as specialist of combat (or Bomani), you are now a combat specialist, Knight of the Royal Order of the Sword and Shield … ARISE!” Airman Parham stands and moves to my right side as Sebron Jackson kneels in front of me as I repeat the ceremony. The Police wait patiently until the ceremony is complete, “That was beautiful… what were you doing?” One of the officers asks. I said, “This is called the Order of the Sword and Shield. This is an honor that is bestowed on members of our organization called the Combat Academy, who has been seen worthy through diligent effort, mental strength and combat expertise as seen by our Order.” They inquired the reasoning for

doing it under the bridge. I replied, “The tradition maintains that the Order of the Sword and Shield begins in a quiet place with just the student and the instructor. The instructor must ask three questions: symbolic of mind and body soul adjournment. If the student can answer all three questions admirably, he or she will be ordained.” The officers informed me that they understood; they got in their cars and left. This was the first time anyone outside the order had seen this ceremony in America. You may ask yourself what are the origins of this tradition of military arts. I was continuing a tradition that was bestowed on me from 7 to 14 years old, by my grandfather, Dr. Samuel Adams Jones. I was ordered by him to continue this Afro-Asiatic tradition developed on American soil. He ordered me to continue to develop it as well as teach others. To this goal I have always been faithful. Let’s rewind to June 7, 1977, at about 5:00 a.m. on a Levi overlooking the Mississippi River, in New Orleans, Louisiana. A 14 Year Old boy is seen kneeling. Standing above him is a 78 year old native of Laurel Mississippi, now the pastor of “Greater Sun Light Missionary Baptist Church,” in New Orleans Louisiana. The man is about 78 but still maintains incredible strength as he bends over and touches his grandson on the left shoulder saying, “in the name of the struggle, then he moves his hand to the Right shoulder and says, “Natural Law,” then he moves to the head, “And the Divine Power bestowed on us all.” He then raises his hands to the clouds and says, “You shall be known as a Bomani of the Royal Order of the Sword and Shield, in the name of Eashoa Msheekhah. ” he continues, “Stand on your feet.” He then shook my hand and said, “It will be up to you and your generation to uncover those things that were lost to us. Be a blessing to all the families of the earth and teach others to do the same. Be strong, be Strong!” This was not your typical “Rite of Passage” ceremony as seen in many African costumes passed on from Grandfather to grandson. This ceremony was a rite of passage that recognized that the boy was a man of proven spiritual and mental strength, and a proven warrior of an ancient tradition. My training began at seven and culminated in a grueling test. Now for the rest of my life I would carry the title of Bomani or Mighty Warrior (later translated: Combat Specialist for better acceptance in the world around me). I looked my grandfather in the eyes and said, “Papa I will never forget what you’ve taught me and I will pass it on to others.” He laughs jubilantly and said, “It’s up to you and your generation to continue to build on what we started.” “It will be up to you and your generation to discover the knowledge that was lost.” From that time to the present I began innovating and developing the system I was given both from a military arts point of view as well as developing strategies in cognitive thinking. However, Dr. S.A. Jones had not yet given me the birthright so I had no legal right to promote the two Combat Specialist. Dr. S.A. Jones later approved of my decision and both Combat Specialist were legal from their inceptions. Thus the Royal Order of the Sword and Shield is a military system complete with warrior skills as well as an altruistic vision and tradition that has lasted in some form since the 25th Dynasty of Egypt. Our hope is to become a blessing to all the families of the earth through our example of His Love. For the next 8 years the boy who accepted the charge became a man and traveled across the United States and overseas, honing my skills and adopting new skill sets.

Finally I was stationed in Biloxi Mississippi at Keesler Air Force Base and begin writing a new chapter in this ancient Tradition of Warriors. The Knights of the Royal Order of the Sword and Shield were originally clandestine and have existed on American Soil for 149 years. I would have been the last living descendant of the Order but today from sea to shining sea I am survived by regiments of Knights of the Order. Some are my students; others are my students, students’. The Government of the World Combat Academy consists of 6 Comba-Tai Masters over the sub orders; they should be considered judges and are appointed by the Negusa Negast. There are three Retired Elders who are legislatures or advisers. Elders must have reigned as Negusa Negast or Amir. The Executive portion of the Combat Academy is the Negusa Negast and Negus. 3 Elders are Professor Emeritus:  Dr. Alonzo M.

Our vision is to be a blessing to all the families of the earth. Our mission is to proclaim good news to the poor; proclaim release to those who are captives and recovering of sight to the blind and to set at liberty those who are oppressed. This is the primary mission of all our divisions. This Order of the Sword and Shield teaches that we create an environment of Honor and Respect through our behavior. We believe our body is to be examples of the sword of the Spirit and our very minds should be shields of faith. Thus we call our universal warrior code, the Code of the Sword and Shield. The sword is my body which is my weapon. The shield is my mind and that which I use to protect the sword. I shall never use these abilities; only in defense of myself or others, for this beautiful gift which I have been given, is given of God. For we the Royal Warrior Nation of Comba-Tai submit ourselves to divine sovereignty, from everlasting, to everlasting. 

The sword is my body which is my weapon. We must keep in mind that there are secular and religious orders of Comba-Tai. The secular order identifies the mental, physical and emotional components of our Order’s philosophy. For instance the body as a weapon implies that it must be constantly sharpened, i.e. reaction time, diet, exercise, training and meditation. We see the mind as a part of the brain and developer of emotional responses.  The shield is my mind and that which I use to protect the sword. Shield implies protection through knowledge, creativity and intuition. This can only be accomplished through developing “consistent” access to the Cerebral Cortex through training. This is the most advance method of military arts training. The cerebrum or cortex is the largest part of the human brain, associated with higher brain function such as thought and action. It is the thing that makes us superior to animals in allows us to reason. “And these signs shall follow them that believe…”

 I shall never use these abilities; only in defense of myself and others, This sounds like a contradiction, however Dr. S.A. Jones would often say, “Circumstances alters cases.” It also stresses that we are not to return evil with evil but protect the defenseless. Also the military allows non-combatants (Medics) to carry side arms and M-16’s in defense of their patients. This statement follows the same spirit of rescues and healing as opposed death and destruction. This portion implies that we as an Order subscribe to non-violence. Non Violence is not the same thing as one who can’t protect themselves. There is no power in one who has no alternative but to be abused. But when one chooses meekness (not weakness but strength under control), this often inspires support and cognitive restructuring towards human development.  “…for this beautiful gift which I have been given is given of God.” This statement is a part of our Mystery System (Okuden). It is a present and passive statement. It is present because it implies something continual and passive because it implies something outside of us, that is, a Higher Power.

CHAPTER 4 Comba-Tai Historicity Kush was an Empire that was south of Egypt. Kush was laced with mystery and legend from the ancient world. Kushites were known by many names, Greeks refereed to them as Ethiopians and Christians called them Nubians and Egyptians called them Kash or Kashites. Ancient historians believed the Kushites represented the beginning of mankind. Diodorus of Sicily a Greek historian in 50 B.C. Says, “Now the Ethiopians (Kushites), as historians relate, were the first of all men.” Diodorus of Sicily as did the Egyptian priest Manetho; claimed that the ancestors of Egypt came from Nubia (Kush). Champollian the younger, the father of Egyptology seems to agree with this view by saying the Egyptians were descendants of the Kushites. The University of Chicago examined artifacts uncovered in the land of Nubia, and found they used the same symbols of royalty identical to the single White Crown common to royalty in Egypt, before their was an Egypt. At this juncture I will point out that during the period of 1950 B.C. Egypt conquered Lower Kush and retained it until about 1700. However it must be said that the land of Kush to the south and the Medjay Kushites of the Eastern dessert maintained their independence. It must also be said that Kush, was heavily influenced by the Medjay division of warriors.

The Egyptians interacted with the Empire of Kush very extensively. Egypt used Kushite warriors to defend her which were called “Medjay.” Archeologists refer to the Medjay as the Policemen of ancient Egypt. According to Rex Keating author of an archeological study called Nubian Rescue, he says on page 26; “The king even bore Pharonic titles, calling him himself lord of the two lands as if he governed Egypt itself (950 B.C.).” In any case we know that the king of Kush was in charge of an ancient order of warriors whose mission was to enforce the spirit of MAAT. The principles of MAAT were Truth, Justice, Order, Harmony, Balance, Reciprocity and Politeness. The Medjay were able to enforce MAAT because they were Kushite warriors devoted to the perfection of military skills. The influence of Kush on Egypt is obvious when one considers that in the Seventeenth Dynasty the king of Kush had Egyptian officials working for him. Perhaps the long years of familiarity with Egypt as a seat of authority allowed them and the Amun priest hood in 750 B.C. to ask the mighty king of Kush, Emperor Piye, to liberate Egypt from foreign control. Piye marched into Egypt and destroyed the onslaught of anarchy and barbarism. He restored learning, arts and glories of conquered Egypt, reestablishing his line on the throne of the pharaohs as the Twenty-Fifth dynasty. From this we can safely presume that the military skills the Kushites would use to later beat the Assyrians and other enemies was heavily influenced by their “Medjay” skills. The Kushites warriors maintained their capital in Napata located in the Sudan. It was here that these warriors, who were also stone masons, built many structures at a sacred mountain called Gerbal Barkal. By the 6th Century B.C. Meroe replaced Napata as the capital city of the mighty Kushite Dynasty (from 530 BC until AD 350). During this period the Kushites capital went through decline and the Kushites mingled with a people in southern Arabia (Sabaeans). This formed the formidable Kingdom of Axum. In 350 AD the Axumite Abyssinia (modern Ethiopia) King Ezana secured the declining Kingdom of Meroe and called himself “King of Ethiopia (the regions in the Sudan).” His pride in this statement stemmed from the passage in the bible that said “Princes shall soon come out of Egypt and Ethiopian shall stretch its wings unto God.” (Psalm 68:31) Ezana maintains the distinction in history of ruling the first Christian State. Today we know that the Axumites were forward thinkers in that, Christians, Moslems, Jews and even Buddhist lived there in peace in the beginning. They were clear in keeping the mandate of the ancient prophesy found in the Egyptian manuscript called the Septuagint, “Your seed will be as the dust of the earth, and you will spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south. In you and in your seed, will all the families of the earth be blessed.” Europeans documents (Chronicle of Otto of Fresingen,) contend that there was a king living in Axum named Prester John. He established the world’s first order of knights known as the Order of St. Anthony. I believe the Ethiopian King Prester John ((Also Gäbrä-Mäsqäl, "Servant of the Cross,") lived in Nubia (Sudan). I believe this primarily because the chief seat of his knights were in “the Isle of Meroé" (Kush). (Prester John was “reputedly a lineal descendant of the Magi who had visited Christ the child. He defeated the Muslim kings of Persia, and formed a thriving Christian kingdom in the lands of the Ends of Earth.”) - Graham Hancock, The Sign and the Seal

Moreover, we know that Kush achieved a power base once again in Meroe. The establishment of this order occurred in 370 A.D. These knights were the defenders of the king and populations in Axume. We find later such knights in the various cities of Nubia (which was ancient Kush) led by Emperor Kalidoses against the Arabs as well as Nubian King, Kiriakos leading a military force on Egypt who ordering the release of the imprisoned Alexandrian patriarch Khael (page 42, Warriors of Antiquity, 1995). The sixth Century would see the rise of Kushites heirs in the form of three wealthy Kingdoms in the Sudan, Nobatia, Makkuria, and Alwa. The Axumite Kingdom (modern Ethiopia) no longer controlled any part of Meroe but continued to maintain relations to Kingdom of Meroe located in modern Sudan. However because of the Axumite and Kushite joining, they would forever maintain the name Ethiopia among its royal titles. The name implied that they were heirs of the prophecy according to the Septuagint, “Ethiopia shall soon stretch her hands unto God.” Ethiopia in this regard was a Greek translation of the name Kush. By the 7th Century the unstoppable Arab forces conquering North Africa sought to control the wealth and riches of Nubia. However, they were repulsed because of the resurfacing of the ancient royal warrior (Medjay) skills of the Kushites. "One day they arrayed themselves against us and were desirous to carry on the conflict with the sword. But they were too quick for us and shot their arrows, putting out our eyes. The eyes they put out numbered 150. We at last thought the best thing to do with such a people was to make peace." The Arabic Writer al-Baladhuri This war caused the longest reign of peace in history. The kingdoms in Nubia thrived and this became known as the Golden age of Nubia. The Kingdoms flourished for the Next 700 years. It was not until the 14th Century that the Mamluks capitalized on a weak period in Nubian History and Ousted the reigning Monarch. While Islands of these Nubians continued to pop up until 1870 (R.S. Ensor). The last surviving Citadel of the Kushites Warrior Class would continue in Axume or modern Ethiopia. By the 1700’s the most powerful country in Africa was destroyed and Africa lost her diplomatic immunity, which allowed the horrors of the transatlantic slave trade and the east African slave trade. The only African Kingdom that successfully resisted alien control was and still is, Ethiopia. Note: The Knights Templars are considered the first European Order of Knights. The Templars were an order of warriors founded when Hugues de Payns in 1118 recaptured Jerusalem. Then they were known as “Poor Knights of the Temple of Solomon." They were known as defenders of the faith. This typically met that their mission was to protect Christian travelers to the Holy Land. While theirs was a humble beginning they became formidable bankers in Europe because of the appreciation of their benefactors whom they protected and assisted from outlaws and thieves. During the Christian Crusades legend has it that they also had a base in Ethiopia under Emperor Lalibela who then expelled them later. While in Ethiopia, the Templars

borrowed heavily from the traditions of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church. For example, the well-known "Templar Cross pattee" is that of the Ethiopian Church. Templars wore a cord around their necks in imitation of the religious cord worn by Ethiopian Christians called a "Matab." It is believe that the Templars contributed to the great Rock Churches at Lalibela in modern Ethiopia. Also the Knights Templars were aware of the warrior monks or the Oldest Order of Knights in the world known then as the Order of Saint Anthony design to protect the church and the King. The African period of Comba-Tai history is traced to the empire called Kush (Kush is an area that includes southern Egypt and northern Sudan). To the Greeks they were Aethopians; translated Ethiopians, to the Christians they were called Nubians. The Egyptians sometimes referred to this land as Ta-Sety or “Land of the bow.” (Ta-Sety most likely referred to their revered archery skills.) The Egyptians referred to them as Kash. Some say the Hebrews translated Kash in the bible as Kush. The Prophet Isaiah said the Kushites were: “…a nation of tall, smooth-skinned people … that are feared far and wide … a nation strong and victorious…” (Isaiah 18:2). Also another helpful point is that in certain epochs the name Kush came to be synonymous with all of Africa. Historians like Basil Davidson and Cheik Anta Diop contend that the Empire of Kush who maintained its center in the Sudan, established influenced all across Africa. Much of Africa’s social organization and cultural sensibilities are in some ways identical to the prominent rituals and habits associated with Kushite history. Historians contend cultures all throughout Africa are a reflection of the expanse of Kush. Kush after all was Africa’s oldest and longest enduring empire. Kush’s military martial prowess was highly respected and well documented by the ancient world. Ancient historians Herodotus, Heliodorus, Homer and others provided much information concerning their military tactics, regiments, warriors, discipline and day to day life. The Persians, Greeks, Celts, Romans and the ancient Egyptian text of the 25th dynasty provides and abundance of information regarding their warrior skills. Interesting enough, Kushite armies were multiethnic and diverse, similar to their Egyptian cousins. Perhaps like America, their diversity was the center of their strength. Arguably there is some evidence that suggest Kushites and Egyptians produced the first organized professional military. The Kushites and their cousins the Egyptians probably developed the first disciplined armies’ way back during the pre-dynastic era. There is evidence that their formations were divided by spearman and archers. There were even men and women formations. Kush was home to the oldest military fortifications in the world. One of these was the northern fort of Serma located in Upper Egypt. Serma was the headquarters of Narmer, the first Warrior Pharaoh of Egypt in 3100 BC which suggests he was Kushite (Upper Egypt was once predominantly Kushite). The professional warrior class in Egypt came to be known as the Medjay (Maja). The Medjay warrior classes consisted mostly of Kushites. Areas in Africa today still use the variation of the word Maje for their soldiers. From a martial art perspective, some scholars and martial art Masters like Mas Oyama trace the earliest forms of martial arts to Egypt, In Mas Oyama’s book, “What is Karate,” he says: "The oldest records we have concerns unarmed combat on

hieroglyphics from the Egyptian pyramids...". However we know that early Kushite culture influenced Egypt. There exists evidence of pre-dynastic Kushite princes and kings that resembled many of the traditions of later pharos. This fascinating find was uncovered by Keith C. Seele, director of the University of Chicago’s Oriental Institute Nubian Expedition in 1962. He made this find at a place call Qutsul, home of what archaeologists called the A-Group culture. In lower Nubia, near the modern EgyptianSudanese border. 15 years later in 1977 the archeologist Bruce Williams said that the AGroup culture in ancient Kush-- that was once thought primitive-- had "a wealth and complexity that could only be called royal". The contention here, is that many of the artifacts found in this area of Kush suggest “symbols of Egyptian kingship, complete with crown, flail and religious symbolism existing in Lower Nubia some 300 years before the first Egyptian Pharaoh.” Many writers such as--Professor Martin Bernal from Cornell University--have argued that Egyptian civilization was fundamentally Kushite. This Kushite element mostly continued into the middle kingdoms, that is, 1st, 11th, 12th, 18th and 25th. Giants in Egyptian scholarship like: Jean-Francois Champollion, Comte de, Voleny and others have referred to Upper Egypt (which Kush comprised a part of) as the source of Egyptian Civilization. Regarding Martial arts, we know that the earliest forms of martial arts were found their. Early forms of martial arts were found in an area of Egypt we now call Ethiopia, which was once a province of Kush. It is believe that this early form of martial art spread to Egypt. Regardless of this assessment, we know the Egyptians interacted with the empire of Kush very extensively. Egypt used Kushite troops (Medjay) to defend her and they are said to have been seen by Archeologist as the “Policemen” of ancient Egypt. According to Rex Keating author of an archeological study called Nubian Rescue, “The King of Kush even bore Pharaonic titles, calling himself lord of the two lands (of Egypt) as if he governed Egypt itself (950 B.C.).” Perhaps this claim resulted from their common culture, after all, we know that in 1580 B.C. that Egypt conquered Kush and made it one of its colonies. In the years that followed Egypt fell into chaos and during 750 B.C. rulers from the city of Napata (capital city of Kush) conquered all of Egypt and established the 25th Dynasty. These kings styled themselves as the “Legitimate rulers of Egypt.” Egypt also accepted them in this regard; in an article written by the Smithsonian June.1993 it was said: “The Nubian Pharaohs of the 25the Dynasty ruled with an enlightened benevolence. They were Medicis (patrons of art and literature), rather than Caesars, who awoke Egypt to the artistic and cultural splendor of its own past as they patronize artists, revived lost learning and rebuilt derelict temples.” As Piye the Kushite king marched on Egypt we can safely presume that one of the lost learning’s he reestablished was the ritual combat we find on the walls of the tombs at Beni Hassan in Egypt today. Can we doubt that many of the martial systems of African today such as grappling, punching, kicking and weapons are remnants of this time.

Note: Wrestling was an early form of Combat as depicted on a funerary chapel on the walls of Beni Hassan in Egypt. There are 220 techniques described in these scenes. The Dates of these drawing are approximately 2500 B.C. Right: Boxing is the oldest provable martial art, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dated at least 6,000 Years. Boxing began in Kush and migrated to Egypt. Boxing in America began between enslaved humans whose master bet against them. Boxing is practiced today as an indigenous tradition practiced by people Of West Africa.

Chapter 13 Traditional Comba-Tai Fighting Concepts At the time the combative components of Comba-Tai was passed on to me by my grandfather, it was mostly wrestling, boxing, joint locks, throws, stick fighting and very low kicks and sweeps (battle field tactics). Our ranking system was a green cloth band with a maximum of three Silver Stripes. The stripes represented Spirit, Mind and body and the green band around the left arm met life. As I began to learn Asian forms of combat, I gradually combined high kicks, katas, complete ground grappling, and bladed weapons to our arsenal. I also implemented the ranking system of Kempo and Karate GI’s so that we could compete in open Martial arts tournaments. The strength of Comba-Tai—as I see it—is its cognitive thinking components as a result of its Rational Emotive Behavioral Components. Certainly these insights were tempered by adversity experienced by a community of different races during the tumultuous antebellum and American civil war period. Today we have instructors from coast to coast and in 4 countries. Our diffusion of schools resulted from my military students and subsequently their students who were stationed in areas around the globe. I began teaching Comba-Tai free of charge because I thought it was away to help youth see the greatness they had inside. To date, I have never charged for lessons because I believed my payoff would be a generation of warriors that would honor the American tradition of fighting for the freedom of all. Also I believed my gift for teaching was a gift from God. I believed to charge for my services would mean the loss of that gift. The value of what I’ve passed on is best illustrated in the personal and professional accomplishments of my students and their students’ students, in what is now called the World Combat Academy. My vision for our organization is to give each youth regardless of race creed, color or religion a positive image of their future through purpose, i.e., “To use the warrior greatness they have inside to be a blessing to everyone they meet.” This idea leaves no room for blaming someone else for your predicament in life, but it promotes the development of an entrepreneurial mentality. This tuff and determined philosophy breeds the notion, “If I cannot find a way, I will make one, but I will never surrender.”

Comba-Tai echoes the story of our country. The story of our country certainly chronicleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ravishes of human evil, while maintaining the glorious narrative of the Light of Love. So resilient is this Light; people may bend it or distort it, but it will straiten itself out again. So it was during and after the antebellum (American Civil War) period; when sons of former Indian killers and slave-owners sat down with the sons of Indians and fugitive slaves at a table of family in Jones County in the state of Mississippi. They declared that together we will struggle to be free! Perhaps we can say that Comba-Tai (The Grand Struggle) is an untold American tradition. Finally the beauty of the Royal Warrior Order of Comba-Tai, emphatically asserts that we all have common ancestors regardless of what we look like today. Thus, being that we contain with in us the essence of our early ancestors, it must logically follow that in each of us existsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; components of one another, to deny this, is to deny our true human potential. Every king has had a slave as his ancestor and every slave has had a king as his; with in each of us flows the potential for royal greatness needed to continue our civilization. In this regard most of us are warriors struggling for the best of what it means to be human. Thus we need not marvel at the descent of battle, or the implications of war, but must realize that our struggles are a journey that chronicles the voyage of human development. Thus it must logically follow that the mystery of our power exists within our common bond that develops into that ultimate healing, protective and creative inspiring Love. Semper Fidelis,

Combat Fighter Curriculum (The Original Curriculum) COMBAT FIGHTER I White Belt 

"As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain, as far as they are certain; they do not refer to reality."

Keeping it real in any game I designed Comba-Tai to fit into any container the practitioner of CombaTai desired. If the Combattere wanted to look good at a tournament with high kicks and smooth techniques the system was met to accommodate that. I also designed Comba-Tai to be effective in the boxing ring, jujitsu mat and against fencers. Comba-Tai was designed to be effective on the streets as well. Everything we do in play can be done for real because that’s how the martial art was designed. Comba-Tai was designed to fit wherever and when ever you need it. The lessons of Comba-Tai apply in the office and on the battle field, they also apply when one wishes to lose weight or relive stress. If you are reading this book, Comba-Tai was developed for your benefit because as you will see, regardless of whom you are or what you’ve done your value is beyond measure. Linking the Sword and Shield: “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places…” --Ancient Manuscripts of the Struggle There are two types of war up in Comba-Tai. There is the internal war and the external war. My grandfather once told me a story of a man that was sitting in a ball game and he looked in the distance and he saw a man that looked malnourished. As he left the ball game and walked the streets he noticed the man was behind him. That day he finally visited a movie theater and he could see the man sitting in a row next to him. Finally the man got up and went to the malnourished looking man and

asked who are you? The malnourished man replied, “I’m you … I’m that inner part of you that you ignore.” Before you begin your physical workout you must first realize building efficiency means accessing/connecting to the mental and spiritual selves which are connected to the conscious and unconscious minds. Training for flexibility, cardiovascular endurance, muscular endurance, muscular strength and body composition is how the body is used to stabilize/discipline the mind and spirit (emotional intellect-ID) to access its mental and spiritual energies. This concept is known in Comba-Tai as linking the Sword and Shield (The Sword is my body which is my weapon; the Shield is my mind and that which I use to protect the Sword). Training in this way will allow you to have a free flowing flexible mind able to engage and overcome any situation. In order for the Linking of the Sword and Shield to truly occur on has to engage in the P.A.C. principle. P.A.C. stands for Preparing for… Adapting to … Control or Conquer. Prepare comes from a word that means to “pre cut” or mode yourself for a particular situation before it occurs. This of course would be mental physical and spiritual. Example: Running—running is a multidimensional exercise it involves action (physical), knowledge of direction (mental), desire (spiritual). From these three components one acquires, cardiovascular and muscular endurance, alertness and body awareness as well as focus & calming along with proper breathing (some might refer to this as meditation spiritual). 

Thus the Physical must involve hard consistent work on the foundation knowledge.



Knowledge is only attained through a multiplicity of study hence the Comba-Tai focus on standup, ground, aerial and weapons combat.



The spiritual is the highest level of training. Spiritual training involves prayer/meditation and Word training, i.e., my grandfather would often say, “So a man thinks in his heart, so is he.” He would continue by saying, “Whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, meditate on these things.”

If you sincerely engage in this training for three months you will find that what is easily seen is only a small percentage of what is possible. If you continue this training/search for 1 to 2 years you will experience the reward of your labor. Believe me when I say, it does not matter what the discipline is, as long as you apply these principles you will see beautiful fruit. There is a Gold mind of infinite and intelligence and boundless love that we can access. However we must be willing to engage in hard work to find it … all who seek will find. My grandfather would often say, “Ask and it shall be given unto you, Seek and you shall find, Knock and the door shall be opened unto you… “ I marvel at the incomprehensible difficulties, repeated setbacks and uncontrollable circumstances that have forged men and women of power around the world.

1st Law of the Mystery System: Adversity allows us to walk by faith and not by sight, thus linking the Sword and Shield. 2nd Law of the Mystery System:

F.I.G.H.T.E.R.S. CONCEPTS [Focusing Intelligently by Gaining Healthy Training habits and Evaluating Reaction Systematic Concepts]:

1. COMPENSATORY CONCEPT This is the idea of sensory overload. Observance of the Concept: To increase the size of lean body mass the weight lifter would lift heavier than usual. The body’s response to this would be larger stronger muscles. Overloading the cardiovascular system will cause greater tidal volume and allow the heart to move oxygenated blood more efficiently through the body (greater aerobic capacity). Executing a thousand kicks three times a week or a thousand punches three times a week with create more efficient punches and kicks. Keys to efficiency: Make an exercise prescription which contains, how many times a week, duration of workout and intensity. Also one must eat complex Carbohydrates (Vegetables and some fruits). To become proficient at any technique one must do it for at least a thousand reps for three months.

2. SIMULATE CIRCUMSTANCE Visualization is one of the most important components of sports or warrior training. You must perceive the motor skill before you try to accomplish it. Most of us remember what we see much larger ( and better) than what we read or hear. We, therefore, need to make an effort to visualize everything we learn. No matter how abstract, determine ways to visualize each new concept. This is the clearest method of engaging the mind and body.

Keys to efficiency: While meditating you must visualize yourself accomplishing techniques slow and then fast. It is a good idea for you to see yourself accomplishing the technique over and over again. In advance form of this training is seeing your self accomplishing these techniques against

another opponent. This should be done from sitting mediation first and then after a course of time walking meditation. Remember the highest form of meditation is dynamic (in motion). This is often referred to as the Alpha State.

3. REPETITION RESPONSE CONCEPT Repetition should not be confused with sensory overload. Sensory overload is done until the muscles are tired and the brain and muscles must develop new pathways for coordination and balance which illicit power and efficiency of movement. After about three months the muscles and the brain go through adaptation processes. The brain by developing more pathways or synapses and the muscles by developing more lean body mass. Repetition is often accomplished to build speed and lighting reaction time as well as target focus. Keys to efficiency: Go out into the field and find a tree with branches low enough to kick or punch and try to punch and kick the leaves fast as you can. Also it would be good to find an area on the leave you want to hit consistently. It’s good to try this using your index finger. Also, if there are no leaves available, try this with a string hanging form the ceiling.

4. MOVEMENT CONCEPT Movement is the key to all martial arts to include grappling (to bind close). If your movement and positioning are unsure your punching, kicking and grabbing/chokes/joint locks will be inaccurate. It is important that one engage and practice attacking, retreating, moving on angles when attacked and smooth dance like movements on your feet. The ability to avoid attacks and become illusive is so important in tournaments, street fighting and battle field maneuvers. Keys to efficiency: Practice moving at super quick passes that almost seems unnatural and then slows your movement down to concentrate on proper technique. Continue to do this until it appears to be second nature. Remember fast is not always the most efficient method, sometimes smooth and decisive is the best method.

5. INITIAL RESPONSE AND DELIVERY CONEPT This follows the idea of reaction time. Ask yourself, how do I respond to an attack? How do I respond to someone moving when I’m attacking? When I’m retreating and someone attacks how do I respond. Keys to efficiency: It is a good idea to spar with people who are better than you; people who are at your same skill level, and those are below you. This will help you experiment and practice until you become efficient at response and delivery.

6. THE FITNESS CONCEPT The bottom line is if you are not eating right, you can’t workout efficiently because you will not have the proper energy. Remember eating right is simple: eat plenty of fruits and vegetables and drink copious amounts of water. Keys to efficiency: You should eat: breakfast, snack, Lunch, snack and dinner.

7. RESET CONCEPT Another way we can say this is to constantly be in the problem solving mode. Never believe that challenge is to great always consider you have the coping mechanisms to deal with the situation.

Thus you must never have the mind frame to surrender to give up. Remember your training has provided so many tools. Use these tools and practice using them in simulated circumstances. Keys to efficiency: Once good method for accomplishing this is spontaneous self defense techniques, or role playing. How can this be applied to Life?

8. MEET HALF WAY CONCEPT If your opponent is a fast attacker donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t retreat, meet him half way on his line of attack. This will disturb his rhythm and put you in a position to delver a devastating attack. Meet the situation head on as opposed to retreating or side stepping. Some systems refer to this as a stop hit. Keys to efficiency: Role play some one attacking you in the sense that they have to cover the distance. Before they can get off their mark, you hit them with a back fist, reveres punch or side kick or perhaps elbow strike.

9. BIND CLOSE CONCEPT By definition, grappling translates to bind close. Typically we say bind close and move to the side. This will nullify groin or leg kicks. Bind your opponents body close either at the head or the waist. While the body is close it opens up attacks to the groin and lower extremities like the big toe, small toe, ankle and knee. Keys to efficiency: Practice by having someone attack standing and you bring them in close by the waist or you attack. Also practice while lying on the ground. And then practice while initiating take downs.

10.THREE DIMENSIONAL MOVEMENT: Three dimension movements have to do with stances and attacks and retreats. It is a type of African dance that generally centers on three dimensions of movement. The first dimension is three beginning with the lead leg. These can go forward, backward, side to side. Secondly the movement is fast, slow and moderate; thirdly its up down and jumping. Keys to efficiency: We typically refer to this as Gizirak el Malik

This component presents a champion building process I call F.I.G.H.T.E.R.S. Concepts, which means, Fighting Intelligently by Gaining Healthy Training habits and Evaluating Reaction Systematic Concepts. F.I.G.H.T.E.R.S. Concepts prevents the fighter from reacting out of desperation and allows him to respond systematically or in sequential orderâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;every time. This usually

results in a logical solution. It’s kind of like the Pilot; when her Jet is in trouble, she has a gamut of things to rely upon to come up with a possible solution to the problem or malfunction. The only way to accomplish this systematic response to problem solving is to train the mind. This is Comba-Tai ... Karate and Kung Fu has long agreed that instinct is the highest level of martial arts. Many masters would say, “Rely on instinct because it creates faster reaction time.” We in Comba-Tai have embraced the idea that Gods gift of intellect is superior to instinct (because relying on instinct is regression). We have proved superior reaction time is simply the result of a trained mind. There has never been a person born, who could walk and hear that could not become an extraordinary fighter. Most people never reach their potential because their minds have not been properly disciplined through the rigors of physical activity and focus thinking. Discipline and focus thinking is a catalyst for mental preparation. Louis Pasteur said, “Chance favors the prepared mind.” The mind has the capacity to conceive anything; however the body often can not cash a check that the mind has signed. In order for the fighter to reach his or her highest combative consciousness, they must first acquire knowledge of themselves in relation to others, thereby understanding the overall application of their skills in every situation. Thus, I say again; this manual teaches a champion building process. I F.I.G.H.T.E.R.S. Concepts, is designed to show instructors the overall logical equation of the principles used in creating extraordinary fighters and competitors. The concepts outlined in this manual can be applied to any form of fighting or sports known to man. I guarantee that the F.I.G.H.T.E.R.S. Concepts will produce champions of all that follow its precepts. This manual should be used side by side with the techniques presented in the Majesty of Comba-Tai. Its one thing to understand how to execute a technique it is quite another to relay their concept so that they can adapt to any situation. Adaptation is the focus of all

learning ... learning must apply itself to its widest spectrum through the expansion of ideas. Martial Arts education system has not fulfilled its purpose, a great majority of its so called instructors do not think logically or scientifically. The Dojo has often not given us objective or unbiased truth. ... to save mankind from the morass of propaganda, in my opinion is the chief aim of Martial Arts education. Combative thinking will enable us to sift and weigh the evidence, discern the real from the unreal and fact from fiction (either it works or it doesn’t and if it doesn’t, dispose of it immediately). It has been aptly said, “A mind, stretched by a new Idea can never regain its original capacity.” This statement is true in that the capacity or problem solving ability will widen through an exposure to ideas that place thought processes outside of established paradigms—therefore giving more solutions or possible solutions to problems. The essence of combat is always problem solving. This is the message of the survival mechanism created innately within each of us. This problem solving mechanism can be enhanced by mentally focusing through meditation. Science has long proven that the body is a big Bio-electrical generator and that electrical energy can be focused to do some amazing thing. I will show you how to direct that energy by focusing. Warning: We must approach this subject with trepidation; because there is nothing mystical about this, it is simply a matter of training our God given gifts. Having some control over your Bio-electrical energy will allow you to acquire more endurance through the control of the electrical impulse of the heart. It will also give you unbelievable reaction time through a control of the Alfa and beta waves of the brain. Again I must say this is not in anyway mystical it is simply a matter of training. Bio-electrical training is a fact of science that yoga’s used to control their heart rate and other functions. In the past, a Hindu religious label was placed on these practices. In our present times many others have engaged in this type of Bio-electrical body control, who had no affinity with Hindu religion. We as Martial artist and instructors must understand that Kicking, Punching, and wrestling is basically the same around the

world. When we approach these techniques in the guise of trying to understand and apply their concepts effectively, we create champions. Yet, when we regiment our techniques into axioms rather than concepts, we fall into the trap of the Redcoats against the Minutemen. In early colonialism of America, we find the Minutemen slaughtering the Red Coats. The difference in the Red Coats and the Minutemen were that the Minutemen were agile, creative and allusive, while the Red Coats were predictable, rigid and inflexible. The Red Coats were warriors who were well trained but their unwillingness to change cause their fighting to become ineffective. The only way we can prevent such a dysfunction in our own lives, is by constantly evaluating how we react in combative situations. Our evaluation should consistently give us new and better ways to respond, or at least affirm the reliability of our old methods. We must always demonstrate a geniality to question and change our methods when they prove ineffective. Truth in the physical world never veers from the path, but is constantly growing and adapting. Thus, only those who grow and adapt to the situations of the times will feel the exhilaration of victory. III

â&#x20AC;&#x153;All things are possible for the person who believes.â&#x20AC;? --Tabiblia

1. Warming Up: Internal Warm up-1. Definition: A warm-up consists of a slow-to-moderate intensity activity that is performed in order to gradually prepare the body to perform sustained activity. This also decreases the likely hood of injury.

2. Warming up must first began with proper meditative breathing (in through the nose and out through the mouth). This is done to focus the mind and prepare the internal organs for intense or moderate activity. This activity is very simple: 

Sit with your back erect and take 7 sets of three deep breaths in through your nose and out through your mouth (remember to fill your lungs). This type of breathing will eventually allow you to access the Alpha State relatively quickly. The Alpha State is that elevated sense of awareness that many sports psychologist refer to as the Zone. This zone will allow you to access areas of the brain that will increase performance and reaction time.



After this activity your next goal is to relax the muscles so as to prevent tightness and soreness post-exercise activity, and fatigue during higher level activity. Light movement or shadow boxing for three minutes is best suited for this. After this activity you should find yourself in a state of relaxed alertness.

2. Stretching: 

Stretching is a muscle elongating over a joint. But stretching does much more than elongating a muscle over a joint. It is also another ancient method of accessing the Cerebral Cortex (mind), Because stretching affects our oxygen distribution and it ultimately enhance bodily motion, relaxation there by increasing ability to learn, and develops body awareness. You are probably already aware that stretching helps prevent injury, muscle fatigue and soreness. You will get the best result by stretching slow in conjunction with slow controlled deep breathing. Stretches should be held for at least 30 seconds and gradually move to two minutes. It should take you approximately 30 minutes to an hour to finish stretching properly. If you wish to add to your flexibility add ankle weights.

3. Basic Boxing Hand Techniques:

THE JAB: A. Jab—jabs are done for three reasons: 1. Judge distance 2. Ask questions of your opponent’s ability to move, speed and direction he will avoid a technique. 3. Keep the opponent busy and off balance. Every technique should work off the Jab. One should build up to 1,000 jabs every other day. Starting off with 200 jabs is a great beginning.

Remember: the Jab is preparation for quick eye strikes or quick grabs. Jabs are also the first phase in understanding how to cover the distance from point A to point B in one motion. Proper Execution: You can execute a jab from the stance of the sword and shield or from a boxing stance. Boxing Stanceâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Position yourself by standing feet shoulder length apart and then turn to your right or left side. Turn your feet at a 45% angle, crouch caring about 60% of the weight on the rear foot and 40% on the lead foot. The rear heal should be slightly raised so as to push the body easily in one motion. Rear hand should be raised while head is tucked to lead shoulder. Index finger should rest under nose or on top of nose in order to catch in coming kicks or punches. Stance of the Sword and Shieldâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;position yourself into a fighting horse stance. Turn the feet at a 45 degree angle. Raise the rear heal so as to push the body forward in one motion. Raise the rear hand resting your index finger on your eyebrow and your thumb should be positioned at your mouth (This will allow you to catch punches coming to the face and upper body). The lead hand should be resting alert slightly away from your side prepared to block, parry any kicks or punches approaching the lower body. The Jab is accomplished from a good balanced stance with feet parallel to each other and back heel raised on balls of rear foot. If you question your balance (which you should) ask your instructor to push you. Jab in One Motion: To accomplish the jab properly one should push off the rear foot while simultaneously stepping forward with the lead. At the time the lead foot steps off the lead hand should follow it in a forward trajectory spiraling until the two knuckles are aimed positioned against the target. This is typically referred to as a simple angular attack. The jab should be accomplished slowly for approximately 100 times. After this is accomplished the jab should be thrown a minimal of 1000 times every other day. One will have to build up to this number. After one feels comfortable throwing the Jab while hitting a target the next step is to acquire snap. Acquiring Snap: In Comba-Tai boxing the snap is accomplished at the wrist and the elbow, that is, at the moment of impact the wrist suddenly straightens

and the elbow suddenly straightens creating an explosive pop at the end of the first two knuckles. In order to accomplish the snap safely you must accomplish slow tension breathing exercises. Push the jab forward slowly as though you are pushing against an object, feel the tension as you pass though the object. Remember the idea is not just to hit the target but to go through the target. Next you must accomplish wrist and knuckle push ups which will develop the strength and flexibility of the wrist. Accomplish this training for approximately two weeks before you move into striking with the snap. Purpose of the Jab: The Jab is typically a preparatory technique for a technique of final execution. For instance the jab can be used to blind the opponent in preparation for a crippling blow. The snapping force of the jab is met to interrupt Neurotransmissions to the brain that is the person blacks out for a fraction of a second. Following that fraction break follows a lethal blow. (Communication of information between neurons is accomplished by movement of chemicals across a small gap called the synapse. Chemicals, called neurotransmitters, are released from one neuron at the presynaptic nerve terminal.) in other words the jab serves the same purpose as a scorpion sending in Neurotoxin before it eats its prey.

Overhand Right –

While the Overhand Right can sometimes be used as a lead technique, it is usually used as a technique of final execution. In Comba-Tai there are two types of overhand rights: Basic Right Hand—depending on the movement of the body this can be used as a defensive technique or an offence technique. As a defensive technique the lead and rear foot move backward allowing the waist to move right outside of range of he attack and the right hand is thrown. The beauty of this is that this technique allows the opponent to run into the approaching punch which adds to the force. The other side of this as an offensive technique involves avoiding the incoming punch while executing a basic right hand. Offensively this technique is typically thrown suddenly behind a jab. Execution Phase: From the boxing stands or Sword and Shield the waist is turned in conjunction with the shoulder with chin tucked. The hip, elbow and wrist snap simultaneously affecting an explosive strike. Remember the body is to turn in a single motion. Maximum Power Punch—This style of the punch is used to attack and destroy. This is a difficult punch to learn and takes years of diligent practice to perfect. Execution Phase: One should practice this punch in a boxing or sword and shield stance. The trick to this punch is getting all the body weight behind the technique and at the same time the wrist and the elbow snaps while the hips drive the force through the target causing vibratory breakage. Some styles refer to it as trembling shock. The practice of this punch should be done in two phases: 1st phase: accomplishing the punch in slow motion using heavy wrist weights. 2nd phase: Understanding proper body alignment is important for all punches and should be executed on a wall in a pushing fashion. This allows the exponent to fill his weight behind the punch. From these phases the punches should be done gradually faster and with more force.

The Hook

The hook is a technique for the left and right hands. Its power results from the centrifugal force of the body thrown in a hook or U like trajectory. The hook is a technique of final execution and is typically used with another technique of final execution. Execution Phase: The hook can be thrown from the boxing or the stance of the sword and shield. The hook can be thrown from the lead or rear hand. Lead Hand Hookâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the lead hand hook is usually accomplished after parrying (deflecting) a jab or avoiding a right hand. It can also be effectively used immediately after a combination. The lead hook is accomplished by turning the palm down while simultaneously pivoting on the balls of the lead foot tucking the chin into the lead shoulder with the rear hand raised to the cheek bone the body should move in a hooking fashion. Rear Hand Hookâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the rear hook is an exceptionally devastating technique. Along with centrifugal force, most of the body weight follows the rear hook as you dig into your opponents head or body. If your rear hand is stronger, this adds to the devastation of the technique. Execution Phase: Being hit with a hook in the proper areas can shut your opponents Neurotransmitters down or at least set them up for a second devastating attack. The rear Hook can be accomplished from a boxing or sword and shield stands. The rear foot turns as the lead foot remains stationary. Upon contact the palm should be facing down and the striking area of the hand should be the two knuckles.

D. Uppercut Similar to the hook, the upper cut can be accomplished on the lead and rear hands. In Comba-Tai the upper cut is typically used as a stop hit and seldom as an attacking. However in my early boxing days I

sometimes used it as an attack with devastating results. If one wishes to use the upper cut in an attack it should be preceded by a blinding jab. Phase of Execution: From the boxing stance or the stance of the sword and shield the upper cut can be executed using the rear hand or the lead hand. Rear Hand Upper Cut-- is accomplished by pivoting on the rear foot while slightly caring the weight backward. The rear hand turns so that the striking area is the first two knuckles. Lead Hand Upper Cutâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;is accomplished by pivoting on the balls of the lead foot and turning the knuckles upward until the striking area is the first two knuckles. The only snapping mechanism for the upper cut is the waist. However waist is able to deliver a knockout blow. Once the basics are mastered the student should begin to use these techniques in sparring. Remember: All sparring should be accomplish in the presence of instructor and with proper safety equipment. Slip Bob Weave Duck 4. Basic Karate Hand Techniques: A. Ridge Hand The ridge hand is accomplish like the hook with caution that it is an open hand technique and takes a considerable amount of training before it become an incapacitating technique. One can knock out an opponent to the chin, neck or groin using this technique with minimal training. However to offer a knock out or sever injury to the head, ribs, or joints may require considerable training using a tree. Remember to begin softly until you gradually acquire the strength to accomplish the technique with more strength. B. Reverse Punch In Comba-Tai the reverse punch is through identical to the overhand right with the exception of moving the lead leg with the punch. When moving the lead leg with the punch lands at the

same time the lead foot hit the ground. In other words the weight travels in the air until the moment of impact. C. Back Fist The back fist is similar to the jab with three exceptions, i.e., striking area, movement of the arm and both hands can be utilized to execute the backfist. Striking area: Striking area of the back fist is thought to be the two knuckles and the two knuckles alone. However the striking area of the back fist in Comba-Tai is not only the two knuckles but also the bent wrist which is a precursor to the Crane fist. Movement of the arm whether lead or rear hand is typically accomplished from a turning of the elbow. Especially on the lead hand this confuses the death of field for the approaching attack. That is why a back fist is hard to block when thrown properly. While a back fist is defensive move and usually preparatory attack, it can also be a devastating Final Execution Blow. If the body is leaned into the attack with perhaps also using the wrist as the area used to strike, this technique can be a finishing move. Caution: Before using the wrist as a striking area. It is advised that one engage in conditioning training such as wrist push ups and gradual wrist hitting on a wall or tree. Under punch: 5. Basic Kicks: Remember: Before kicks are practiced one should engage in hand training to insure that one is mastering proper balance. You can not develop good kicks with out great balance. A student should be trained for at least three months on punches before they transition to kicks. When students first start accomplishing kicks they should start of low and gradually elevate kicks. This will prevent injuries and allow for perfect balance and flexibility necessary to throw a devastating kick. Once the kicking technique is perfected it is very important that student begin working diligently with kicking low with ankle weights. Ankle

weights will allow student to develop balance and lean body mass necessary to accomplish well placed kicks. When kicking one should imagine having the same control with feet that one has with his or her hands. With diligent practice the same sensitivity that exists in the hands can be acquired in the feet. A. Side Kick There are three phases of the side kick, Visual alert, Chamber and launch. Visual Alert: Visual alert refers to appropriately reacting when the brain first picks up the threat or the opening. This is a critical period of combat, if one does not capitalize on the opening or the attack, there may not be another opportunity. Chamber and Launch: When chambering the knee is brought to the chest area for strikes above are below the waist. In a street confrontation it is always advisable to keep all kicks at or below waist level. The Launch is accomplished by using the rear foot. When the Knee is chambered launch the kick by leaning backward turning the toes in the direction of the head and opposite to the attacking leg. The area of the foot used to strike in a side kick is the blade of foot or the bottom of foot. The area of the foot used to strike is usually dependent on the target area. B. Round-House Kick C.

SHADOW BOXING (Shift from a point of view to a viewing point!)

Sometime ago fellow martial artist and I dialoged on a powerful element in Combat known as imagination. We spoke of the vision a person must have to excel in martial arts. One of the primary elements of vision is of course imagination. Recently one of my students Graduated USC with top honors in Journalism. I never wondered why he chooses Journalism, for his training in Comba-Tai prepared him for such a vocation. How does a martial art prepare a student to enter a higher level academics, such as journalism? Journalism is far more than placing ink to paper. It is a license to paint artistically upon a blank canvas, passionately injecting the stimulating life force of imagination unto paper. The pen does not capture the lilac fragrance of triumph or the putrid odor of injustice unless their roots germinate in the fertile soil of imagination.

The writer must see life with crystal clarity ... yes; the writer is challenged with disseminating his ideas just as unequivocal. Every Syntax, Anthology and prose must melodiously flow like the music from the Flute and the harp during Concertos. Finally the tangibility of vaporous thoughts flows unto streams of paper as a mighty river threw a mythological forest of yore. Such is the written word that allows humankind to earnestly arrive toward the shores of understanding themselves and others. The grammatical endeavors of the pen exemplify the struggle for understanding, tolerance and sensitivity; how can we live in peace without these? The former rhetorical question is like the brush strokes of the pen, as is our martial art lives. In order for us to effectively transfer information about our fearless heroic way of life, it must emanate from the will of imagination. Combat becomes real for us when we attach imagination to it. Emily Dickinson wrote of the breath-taking odyssey of an Eros love, and yet she never engaged in such passions. She was aware that you don’t have to experience something to write passionately about it; you just need the ingredient of imagination. Shadow boxing for the martial artist, exudes a similar theme. “See it in your mind.” Is it any wonder when we consider the adage, “Anything perceived can be achieved.” The philosophy of Shadow boxing is best described by a word I coined called Simulated Experience. Shadow boxing is an exercise in honest preparation, if we sprinkle it with the spice of imagination. Shadow boxing experience involves seeing the best fighter in the world standing in front of you and beating him. Never forget the martial art advice that rings for time immemorial, that is, “Mind and body.” See it in your mind first and your body will respond easier. John Keith in 1818 said, “What the imagination sees as is beauty, must be truth, weather it ever existed before or not.” Follow your imagination to that place of yesterday and tomorrow ... seismically dream of today, acting on what you see, as if there is no tomorrow. “Such is the way of the warrior."

Kata Requirement: Asha 1 THE SPARK THAT IGNITES CREATIVITY (DO NOT FALL PREY TO STADARDIZATION-- BACK TO THE OLD SCHOOL OF KEMPO COMBA-TAI) When I developed Kempo Comba-Tai in the early 80'S, it was the result of my training in Asian as well as African systems. Only few of my students back then understood its genius. Kempo and Comba-tai are only names, but back then I could have easily have been called "The Spark That Ignites The Flames of Creativity." Kempo teaches several prearranged forms to its adherents, but at the highest level, the practitioner must be able to free form. There is one writing which dates back to Tokugawa era, written by a Soke (Head Master), where he laments that the young Samurai are so consumed by prearranged forms that they no longer have combat skills, and he hopes for a return to the free style Kata of the past. The oldest Royal, Combat art of Okinawa, Bushi Te, the warrior hand, originally used no prearranged Kata, but practiced only free style Kata ... so was the fighting system of the Nubians in Africa. Comba-Tai fighting system was originally based on the foundation free style. But doesn't it make since; shadow boxing is a freestyle Kata. Jujitsu also follows this ancient premise which allows for experimentation. Myamoto Musashi was said to be the first swordsmen that used two swords ... Who taught him this style, after all, he clamed no ryu or style, yet he became the greatest swordsman in ancient Japan. No one taught him, he had the foundation to teach himself. Students must stop being lazy.

The key to being a martial artist is having a good overall foundation ... building from that foundation and finally transcending what you have learned until it becomes yours and yours alone. Have you ever wondered why there are over 2,582 systems of martial arts that trace themselves back to ONE system at Shaolin called Chun Fa (fist-law or fighting concepts). This is the beauty that Comba-Tai brings to the fitness world; consistent versatility through individuality. There are several reasons for varying many aspects of your daily routine. One reason is, the more Varity you experience, the less likely there is that you'll become bored and give up. Another reason is that the wider your experience, the more skilled you'll develop--and the more likely it is that you'll protect yourself through good diet and exercise efficiently. They call this in the fitness world cross training which helps develop supporting muscles that may prevent overuse problems and injury. Comba-Tai is a

kind of cross training you can use at work--where you learn a variety of different skills--will provide potentially fall back positions in case you lose your job: If you know computers as well as management skills, you'll be a step ahead of the person who only knows management. Finally, Comba-Tai injects variety into your life, which will enhance your creativity. You may not automatically see how a new skill in music or computers or tennis will make you think more creatively on the job, or improve your problem-solving skills. But believe me, the more you open your mind to new concepts and learn to think in other contexts-or "out of the box" as some creative consultants have called the process-the more effective you'll be in furthering your career or personnel objectives.

Combatant III Brown Belt (Judo: â&#x20AC;&#x153;gentle wayâ&#x20AC;?)

Introduction The closest The Following post was made on The Underworld Forum in reply to the question, what is Kosen Judo?) What is Kosen Judo? What is Kosen Judo? A number of things. Kosen Judo is a form of Judo practiced in many of the universities in Japan which is very newaza (groundwork) oriented. They practice throws and takedowns like all Judoka, but in both training and shiai (competition) they spend about 90% of the time in newaza, and stand-ups are much less frequent. As for the guard being invented by the Gracies, that is a major misconception. The guard (open, closed, 1/2) as well as passes and sweeps, the knee on stomach (uki

gatame), the triangle choke (sankaku jime), and the cross arm bar (juji gatame) are some things that are VERY incorrectly identified by some people as BJJ creations, they have been around in Judo since beginning or at least since the Kodokan team lost to the Fusen Ryu around 1905. They were the first newaza oriented ryu, and Kano, being open minded, requested them to teach their newaza (which was not focused on by most traditional JJ ryu as in depth newaza was not considered applicable to battlefield combat) to himself and the Kodokan.

Strike Patterns of the Arnis The arnis are a deadly defense weapon and should always be handled with the utmost respect. They are held with a supportive, but loose grip until the actual strike when grip is made firm. You may strike down or up (think about the 12 strikes of the arnis). These strikes may also be done from a forward ready stance (fighting) or from Jinga. Striking area may be varied once the pattern is mastered. For example, on Pattern I, instead of striking at the temple, the hinge of the jaw may be targeted. Instead of knee, strike at the thigh. In Pattern IV, instead of targeting the clavicle, aim for the carotid artery. Instead of elbow, wrist. During initial practice however, follow the patterns as written with strikes made holding the arnis held at a 45-degree angle. The non-striking hand/arnis is always held up by the same-side jaw for protection. In practice, especially with another combatere, a set is always completed before ending to reduce the opportunity for injury.

Arnis Strike Pattern I From ready stance: 1. Lean into a left leg lunge position, right-handed temple strike (opponent’s left temple) 2. Maintaining left leg lunge position, right-handed outside knee strike (opponent’s right knee) 3. Shift weight into right leg lunge position, left-handed temple strike (opponent’s left temple) 4. Maintaining right leg lunge position, left-handed outside knee strike (opponent’s left knee)

Above: These are the Nuba stick fighters engaging in a very popular community sport (1949) . The fighters carry sticks and shields that are reminiscent of sword fighting made safer. While these may be safer than an actual blade one blow from the stick can kill. This seldom happens because the battles are closely controlled by a referee. All this seems to be in memory of some sort of soldier play. Since the 16 century Europeans had heard of legendary nights that existed in the Sudan. These nights were garbed in splendid armor much like medieval nights of Europe. A British expedition traveled to the Sudan hoping to prove these fabulous legends were false. When the Europeans saw them they were flabbergasted to see these Africans arrayed in coats of Armor ridding expertly precision horses through complex maneuvers. They charged the Europeans seeming to

attack them, but at the last minute pulling away shouting time and time again "Welcome". one European writer expressed that these mock charges were a declaration of contempt for our weakness. Perhaps the Nuba tribesmen stick fighting, recount this ancient glorious time. Armor is often thought of as unique to the knights of medieval Europe, but Mail was probably once common in Africa; Armor appears to have been used as far back in Africa as 945 B.C. King of Egypt Shishak who was of Kushite ancestry was found in his tomb at Tanis in 1938 with a coat of scaly Armor.

The picture above is part of more than four hundred and eighty pairs of wrestling ad martial arts moves drawn on an ancient Egyptian tomb wall at Mahez, in the Tomb of Governors. This form of wrestling is still practiced in Nubia and West Africa, and was copied by the ancient Greeks. It was handed down to us by the Medjay and taught to me by my grandfather in the guise of an African Art form known as Geziret el Malik. To Nubian Speaking Egyptians the word is known as Island of the King.

Note: Distinguished Member of the National Wrestling Hall of Fame, Bobby Douglas Iowa State wrestling coach said that still today (2002) that there are many masters of Nuba wrestling in the Sudan. Bobby Douglas is a direct descendant of that line. In Comba-Tai our grappling practice is also traced to Master grapplers of the Sudan and warriors of ancient Ethiopia/Kush. Below are the names of the techniques that have come down to us in an unbroken tradition.
