This is a very simple and easy way to defeat your foe simply by using an energy flux concept. This concept can be used before you apply any of the karate self defense techniques, or even prior to engaging in kenpo freestyle. You can use it before any situation in which you are going to have to use physical force to defend yourself.

Now, it won't knock him unconscious, I can't guarantee a win, that is going to depend on how much dedication you apply to your normal martial arts training. But it may weaken him just long enough to give you the edge in protecting yourself. I don't know about you, but even a slight edge is something I want in my pocket when I get in a kenpo fight, or any kind of martial arts fight.

Now, to set this technique up, you need to know something about the body, and about the energy of the body. There is a main pathway for energy which runs right up the front of the body and down the back. This pathway is a main meridian, or channel, for major energy flow in the body.

What we want to do is disrupt this energy momentarily, and cause the opponent's body to move more slowly. We are going to do this by reversing the energy flow in the central meridian. This is very easy to do, and will slow the opponent's body down.

To make sure you understand how this technique works, have a partner stand with his feet shoulder width apart and his arms straight out to the sides. Now, press down on his hands gently, and you will notice how much force you have to apply. Second, place your finger on his neck and trace a line down the center of his body to the belly button, and now press on his hands.

He should be a little weaker. Now 'zip' your digit from the navel to the neck, and you will notice he is stronger. This speedy (1 to 2 seconds) motion slows the flow of his energy down, or returns it to normal speed (if you go up), and the result is weaker or stronger.

Do this with as many people as you can find. Don't tell them what you are doing (until you have done it), just practice zipping and unzipping the flow of energy on the meridian. After a while you will actually be able to stand back and trace the path with just a gaze of the eyes, and cause a resulting and momentary weakness or strength.

Now, depending on you and your dedication to the art, this may or may not take a while to make work. It will happen sooner if you are a dedicated martial arts fanatic, and you practice your kenpo techniques every single day, and, especially if you have matrixed your martial art and understand how energy flux theory works. That understood, that is how you apply energy flux theory in any kenpo self defense techniques.
