Champion has to say about this book
Martial
Arts Internal Energy Strike Article by Sensei J. Richard Kirkham
B.Sc.
"You
must burn your hands in this secret potion my son, sit under the
water fall for 15 minutes, and do these secret breathing
techniques." Bull! I have heard explanations even from
honest martial arts instructors that sound mystical, "You
must allow the ki (chi, bio-energy) to flow through the arm and
into your attacker's body.", but I hold that to the way it
was explained to them and not having a background in exercise
physiology such as I do or their path of research following a
more easterly direction. Before many of my martial arts
friends get mad at me for this statement, as a teacher with a
background in physical education, I believe it is important for
my students to understand the physics behind a martial arts
technique as much as possible. I believe it allows them to
improve their martial arts techniques even faster if they
understand what they are striving for physically.
It
takes practice yes, but as opposed to what some instructors
would lead you to believe, there is nothing mystical about
internal energy strikes. It is a strike like any other,
based on physiological principles. So why do I still call it an
internal energy strike? It is simply a term with which martial
artists are familiar and the shortest one I can think of. My
students begin learning the basics of internal energy strikes
within their first month. Although all the internal energy
strike drills do for them in the beginning is to increase their
striking power. Later on, at blue belt level, they learn how to
execute internal energy strikes more rapidly since they have
already been introduced to some of the drills.
Internal
energy strikes involve proper breathing, proper coordinated
movement, stability, and proper use of antagonistic and
agonistic muscles.

Proper
Breathing
Have
any of you ever seen a boxing match and heard the boxer breath
out explosively through his nose? This is done for a two fold
purpose, to increase the power of the punch and prepare the
boxer's body if he takes a blow. If your health allows you to,
try throwing a punch while holding your breath. Now throw the
same punch while exhaling hard. Did you notice a difference in
the power and speed? Similar breathing is done during the
internal energy strike, with the exception that you continue to
breath out as long as you are following through. Visa versa
continuing to breath out helps to prolong your follow through
and do more damage to your attacker. Now let me stop right here
and tell you that you should not try any of these techniques or
drills without the guidance of a good instructor. Furthermore
James R. Kirkham, The Martial Arts Ezine, nor any of The Martial
Arts Ezine's contributors nor advertisers accept responsibility
for any injuries which may take place attempting any of these
techniques, drills, or exercises including injuries to the
practitioner, partner of the practitioner, or attacker of the
practitioner. I'm sorry I have to take time for that, but some
people will not accept responsibility for their own actions.

I'd like to offer you “Kwik
Self-Defense Tips” You can enjoy the tips and even

Proper
Coordinated Movement
I
know this sounds basic, but the hips and hand must move together
and in the same direction to execute an internal energy strike.
The basic mistakes when throwing a punch is to lean forward,
lock the front knee out, and fall forward as you punch. This
must be corrected in order to execute any type of good punch
especially an internal energy punch.
Stability
Stability
is different than balance. In order to be stable, you must be
able to remain in a stationary position against resistance. The
best position to be stable in the beginning is a front stance.
Later, through proper use of weight shifts and straightening a
leg, you can be stable in almost any position. Practice your
internal energy punch slowly, against a resistance in order to
make sure you are stable. It should be done slowly at first to
make sure you are not compensating for lack of stability with
speed and inertia.
Proper
Use of Agonistic and Antagonistic Muscles
Antagonistic
muscles are those muscles which inhibit a movement you are
trying to execute. Agonistic muscles are those muscles that aid
you in executing a movement. When I tell my students they must
be completely relaxed when they throw an internal energy strike,
I am not being completely honest. Muscles are always at some
level of tension commonly known as muscle tone. In order to
stand up and have our legs support us there must also be some
contraction of muscles. By the way if it ever comes up, muscles
can only contract, they cannot expand, although they can stretch
and are more efficient in a stretched state, thus the wind up
for a pitch or drawing back (or chambering) to throw a punch.
My
students seem to understand the concept of being as relaxed as
possible and still staying on their feet however, therefore I
allow myself this tiny fib.
When
you execute an internal energy strike it must be done with a
complete totally relaxed movement and follow through. Any
tension from antagonistic muscles will decrease the power of the
strike and hinder the flow and follow through of the movement.
The fact that an attacker is in the way of you doing a complete
follow through should not hinder you from completing your
relaxed, flowing follow through.
Redirect
your attacker's force back into him. Increase your striking
power 50% to 100% with less effort.

Champion has to say about this book
Martial
Arts Internal Energy Strike Article by Sensei J. Richard Kirkham
B.Sc.
"You
must burn your hands in this secret potion my son, sit under the
water fall for 15 minutes, and do these secret breathing
techniques." Bull! I have heard explanations even from
honest martial arts instructors that sound mystical, "You
must allow the ki (chi, bio-energy) to flow through the arm and
into your attacker's body.", but I hold that to the way it
was explained to them and not having a background in exercise
physiology such as I do or their path of research following a
more easterly direction. Before many of my martial arts
friends get mad at me for this statement, as a teacher with a
background in physical education, I believe it is important for
my students to understand the physics behind a martial arts
technique as much as possible. I believe it allows them to
improve their martial arts techniques even faster if they
understand what they are striving for physically.
It
takes practice yes, but as opposed to what some instructors
would lead you to believe, there is nothing mystical about
internal energy strikes. It is a strike like any other,
based on physiological principles. So why do I still call it an
internal energy strike? It is simply a term with which martial
artists are familiar and the shortest one I can think of. My
students begin learning the basics of internal energy strikes
within their first month. Although all the internal energy
strike drills do for them in the beginning is to increase their
striking power. Later on, at blue belt level, they learn how to
execute internal energy strikes more rapidly since they have
already been introduced to some of the drills.
Internal
energy strikes involve proper breathing, proper coordinated
movement, stability, and proper use of antagonistic and
agonistic muscles.

Proper
Breathing
Have
any of you ever seen a boxing match and heard the boxer breath
out explosively through his nose? This is done for a two fold
purpose, to increase the power of the punch and prepare the
boxer's body if he takes a blow. If your health allows you to,
try throwing a punch while holding your breath. Now throw the
same punch while exhaling hard. Did you notice a difference in
the power and speed? Similar breathing is done during the
internal energy strike, with the exception that you continue to
breath out as long as you are following through. Visa versa
continuing to breath out helps to prolong your follow through
and do more damage to your attacker. Now let me stop right here
and tell you that you should not try any of these techniques or
drills without the guidance of a good instructor. Furthermore
James R. Kirkham, The Martial Arts Ezine, nor any of The Martial
Arts Ezine's contributors nor advertisers accept responsibility
for any injuries which may take place attempting any of these
techniques, drills, or exercises including injuries to the
practitioner, partner of the practitioner, or attacker of the
practitioner. I'm sorry I have to take time for that, but some
people will not accept responsibility for their own actions.

I'd like to offer you “Kwik
Self-Defense Tips” You can enjoy the tips and even

Proper
Coordinated Movement
I
know this sounds basic, but the hips and hand must move together
and in the same direction to execute an internal energy strike.
The basic mistakes when throwing a punch is to lean forward,
lock the front knee out, and fall forward as you punch. This
must be corrected in order to execute any type of good punch
especially an internal energy punch.
Stability
Stability
is different than balance. In order to be stable, you must be
able to remain in a stationary position against resistance. The
best position to be stable in the beginning is a front stance.
Later, through proper use of weight shifts and straightening a
leg, you can be stable in almost any position. Practice your
internal energy punch slowly, against a resistance in order to
make sure you are stable. It should be done slowly at first to
make sure you are not compensating for lack of stability with
speed and inertia.
Proper
Use of Agonistic and Antagonistic Muscles
Antagonistic
muscles are those muscles which inhibit a movement you are
trying to execute. Agonistic muscles are those muscles that aid
you in executing a movement. When I tell my students they must
be completely relaxed when they throw an internal energy strike,
I am not being completely honest. Muscles are always at some
level of tension commonly known as muscle tone. In order to
stand up and have our legs support us there must also be some
contraction of muscles. By the way if it ever comes up, muscles
can only contract, they cannot expand, although they can stretch
and are more efficient in a stretched state, thus the wind up
for a pitch or drawing back (or chambering) to throw a punch.
My
students seem to understand the concept of being as relaxed as
possible and still staying on their feet however, therefore I
allow myself this tiny fib.
When
you execute an internal energy strike it must be done with a
complete totally relaxed movement and follow through. Any
tension from antagonistic muscles will decrease the power of the
strike and hinder the flow and follow through of the movement.
The fact that an attacker is in the way of you doing a complete
follow through should not hinder you from completing your
relaxed, flowing follow through.
Redirect
your attacker's force back into him. Increase your striking
power 50% to 100% with less effort.

Champion has to say about this book
Martial
Arts Internal Energy Strike Article by Sensei J. Richard Kirkham
B.Sc.
"You
must burn your hands in this secret potion my son, sit under the
water fall for 15 minutes, and do these secret breathing
techniques." Bull! I have heard explanations even from
honest martial arts instructors that sound mystical, "You
must allow the ki (chi, bio-energy) to flow through the arm and
into your attacker's body.", but I hold that to the way it
was explained to them and not having a background in exercise
physiology such as I do or their path of research following a
more easterly direction. Before many of my martial arts
friends get mad at me for this statement, as a teacher with a
background in physical education, I believe it is important for
my students to understand the physics behind a martial arts
technique as much as possible. I believe it allows them to
improve their martial arts techniques even faster if they
understand what they are striving for physically.
It
takes practice yes, but as opposed to what some instructors
would lead you to believe, there is nothing mystical about
internal energy strikes. It is a strike like any other,
based on physiological principles. So why do I still call it an
internal energy strike? It is simply a term with which martial
artists are familiar and the shortest one I can think of. My
students begin learning the basics of internal energy strikes
within their first month. Although all the internal energy
strike drills do for them in the beginning is to increase their
striking power. Later on, at blue belt level, they learn how to
execute internal energy strikes more rapidly since they have
already been introduced to some of the drills.
Internal
energy strikes involve proper breathing, proper coordinated
movement, stability, and proper use of antagonistic and
agonistic muscles.

Proper
Breathing
Have
any of you ever seen a boxing match and heard the boxer breath
out explosively through his nose? This is done for a two fold
purpose, to increase the power of the punch and prepare the
boxer's body if he takes a blow. If your health allows you to,
try throwing a punch while holding your breath. Now throw the
same punch while exhaling hard. Did you notice a difference in
the power and speed? Similar breathing is done during the
internal energy strike, with the exception that you continue to
breath out as long as you are following through. Visa versa
continuing to breath out helps to prolong your follow through
and do more damage to your attacker. Now let me stop right here
and tell you that you should not try any of these techniques or
drills without the guidance of a good instructor. Furthermore
James R. Kirkham, The Martial Arts Ezine, nor any of The Martial
Arts Ezine's contributors nor advertisers accept responsibility
for any injuries which may take place attempting any of these
techniques, drills, or exercises including injuries to the
practitioner, partner of the practitioner, or attacker of the
practitioner. I'm sorry I have to take time for that, but some
people will not accept responsibility for their own actions.

I'd like to offer you “Kwik
Self-Defense Tips” You can enjoy the tips and even

Proper
Coordinated Movement
I
know this sounds basic, but the hips and hand must move together
and in the same direction to execute an internal energy strike.
The basic mistakes when throwing a punch is to lean forward,
lock the front knee out, and fall forward as you punch. This
must be corrected in order to execute any type of good punch
especially an internal energy punch.
Stability
Stability
is different than balance. In order to be stable, you must be
able to remain in a stationary position against resistance. The
best position to be stable in the beginning is a front stance.
Later, through proper use of weight shifts and straightening a
leg, you can be stable in almost any position. Practice your
internal energy punch slowly, against a resistance in order to
make sure you are stable. It should be done slowly at first to
make sure you are not compensating for lack of stability with
speed and inertia.
Proper
Use of Agonistic and Antagonistic Muscles
Antagonistic
muscles are those muscles which inhibit a movement you are
trying to execute. Agonistic muscles are those muscles that aid
you in executing a movement. When I tell my students they must
be completely relaxed when they throw an internal energy strike,
I am not being completely honest. Muscles are always at some
level of tension commonly known as muscle tone. In order to
stand up and have our legs support us there must also be some
contraction of muscles. By the way if it ever comes up, muscles
can only contract, they cannot expand, although they can stretch
and are more efficient in a stretched state, thus the wind up
for a pitch or drawing back (or chambering) to throw a punch.
My
students seem to understand the concept of being as relaxed as
possible and still staying on their feet however, therefore I
allow myself this tiny fib.
When
you execute an internal energy strike it must be done with a
complete totally relaxed movement and follow through. Any
tension from antagonistic muscles will decrease the power of the
strike and hinder the flow and follow through of the movement.
The fact that an attacker is in the way of you doing a complete
follow through should not hinder you from completing your
relaxed, flowing follow through.
Redirect
your attacker's force back into him. Increase your striking
power 50% to 100% with less effort.

internal energy punch slowly, against a resistance in order to
make sure you are stable. It should be done slowly at first to
make sure you are not compensating for lack of stability with
speed and inertia.
Proper
Use of Agonistic and Antagonistic Muscles
Antagonistic
muscles are those muscles which inhibit a movement you are
trying to execute. Agonistic muscles are those muscles that aid
you in executing a movement. When I tell my students they must
be completely relaxed when they throw an internal energy strike,
I am not being completely honest. Muscles are always at some
level of tension commonly known as muscle tone. In order to
stand up and have our legs support us there must also be some
contraction of muscles. By the way if it ever comes up, muscles
can only contract, they cannot expand, although they can stretch
and are more efficient in a stretched state, thus the wind up
for a pitch or drawing back (or chambering) to throw a punch.
My
students seem to understand the concept of being as relaxed as
possible and still staying on their feet however, therefore I
allow myself this tiny fib.
When
you execute an internal energy strike it must be done with a
complete totally relaxed movement and follow through. Any
tension from antagonistic muscles will decrease the power of the
strike and hinder the flow and follow through of the movement.
The fact that an attacker is in the way of you doing a complete
follow through should not hinder you from completing your
relaxed, flowing follow through.
Redirect
your attacker's force back into him. Increase your striking
power 50% to 100% with less effort.

Martial
Arts Internal Energy Strike Article by Sensei J. Richard Kirkham
B.Sc.
"You
must burn your hands in this secret potion my son, sit under the
water fall for 15 minutes, and do these secret breathing
techniques." Bull! I have heard explanations even from
honest martial arts instructors that sound mystical, "You
must allow the ki (chi, bio-energy) to flow through the arm and
into your attacker's body.", but I hold that to the way it
was explained to them and not having a background in exercise
physiology such as I do or their path of research following a
more easterly direction. Before many of my martial arts
friends get mad at me for this statement, as a teacher with a
background in physical education, I believe it is important for
my students to understand the physics behind a martial arts
technique as much as possible. I believe it allows them to
improve their martial arts techniques even faster if they
understand what they are striving for physically.
It
takes practice yes, but as opposed to what some instructors
would lead you to believe, there is nothing mystical about
internal energy strikes. It is a strike like any other,
based on physiological principles. So why do I still call it an
internal energy strike? It is simply a term with which martial
artists are familiar and the shortest one I can think of. My
students begin learning the basics of internal energy strikes
within their first month. Although all the internal energy
strike drills do for them in the beginning is to increase their
striking power. Later on, at blue belt level, they learn how to
execute internal energy strikes more rapidly since they have
already been introduced to some of the drills.
Internal
energy strikes involve proper breathing, proper coordinated
movement, stability, and proper use of antagonistic and
agonistic muscles.

Proper
Breathing
Have
any of you ever seen a boxing match and heard the boxer breath
out explosively through his nose? This is done for a two fold
purpose, to increase the power of the punch and prepare the
boxer's body if he takes a blow. If your health allows you to,
try throwing a punch while holding your breath. Now throw the
same punch while exhaling hard. Did you notice a difference in
the power and speed? Similar breathing is done during the
internal energy strike, with the exception that you continue to
breath out as long as you are following through. Visa versa
continuing to breath out helps to prolong your follow through
and do more damage to your attacker. Now let me stop right here
and tell you that you should not try any of these techniques or
drills without the guidance of a good instructor. Furthermore
James R. Kirkham, The Martial Arts Ezine, nor any of The Martial
Arts Ezine's contributors nor advertisers accept responsibility
for any injuries which may take place attempting any of these
techniques, drills, or exercises including injuries to the
practitioner, partner of the practitioner, or attacker of the
practitioner. I'm sorry I have to take time for that, but some
people will not accept responsibility for their own actions.

I'd like to offer you “Kwik
Self-Defense Tips” You can enjoy the tips and even
offer your own.
Proper
Coordinated Movement
I
know this sounds basic, but the hips and hand must move together
and in the same direction to execute an internal energy strike.
The basic mistakes when throwing a punch is to lean forward,
lock the front knee out, and fall forward as you punch. This
must be corrected in order to execute any type of good punch
especially an internal energy punch.
Stability
Stability
is different than balance. In order to be stable, you must be
able to remain in a stationary position against resistance. The
best position to be stable in the beginning is a front stance.
Later, through proper use of weight shifts and straightening a
leg, you can be stable in almost any position. Practice your
internal energy punch slowly, against a resistance in order to
make sure you are stable. It should be done slowly at first to
make sure you are not compensating for lack of stability with
speed and inertia.
Proper
Use of Agonistic and Antagonistic Muscles
Antagonistic
muscles are those muscles which inhibit a movement you are
trying to execute. Agonistic muscles are those muscles that aid
you in executing a movement. When I tell my students they must
be completely relaxed when they throw an internal energy strike,
I am not being completely honest. Muscles are always at some
level of tension commonly known as muscle tone. In order to
stand up and have our legs support us there must also be some
contraction of muscles. By the way if it ever comes up, muscles
can only contract, they cannot expand, although they can stretch
and are more efficient in a stretched state, thus the wind up
for a pitch or drawing back (or chambering) to throw a punch.
My
students seem to understand the concept of being as relaxed as
possible and still staying on their feet however, therefore I
allow myself this tiny fib.
When
you execute an internal energy strike it must be done with a
complete totally relaxed movement and follow through. Any
tension from antagonistic muscles will decrease the power of the
strike and hinder the flow and follow through of the movement.
The fact that an attacker is in the way of you doing a complete
follow through should not hinder you from completing your
relaxed, flowing follow through.

your attacker's force back into him. Increase your striking
power 50% to 100% with less effort.

Champion has to say about this book
Martial
Arts Internal Energy Strike Article by Sensei J. Richard Kirkham
B.Sc.
"You
must burn your hands in this secret potion my son, sit under the
water fall for 15 minutes, and do these secret breathing
techniques." Bull! I have heard explanations even from
honest martial arts instructors that sound mystical, "You
must allow the ki (chi, bio-energy) to flow through the arm and
into your attacker's body.", but I hold that to the way it
was explained to them and not having a background in exercise
physiology such as I do or their path of research following a
more easterly direction. Before many of my martial arts
friends get mad at me for this statement, as a teacher with a
background in physical education, I believe it is important for
my students to understand the physics behind a martial arts
technique as much as possible. I believe it allows them to
improve their martial arts techniques even faster if they
understand what they are striving for physically.
It
takes practice yes, but as opposed to what some instructors
would lead you to believe, there is nothing mystical about
internal energy strikes. It is a strike like any other,
based on physiological principles. So why do I still call it an
internal energy strike? It is simply a term with which martial
artists are familiar and the shortest one I can think of. My
students begin learning the basics of internal energy strikes
within their first month. Although all the internal energy
strike drills do for them in the beginning is to increase their
striking power. Later on, at blue belt level, they learn how to
execute internal energy strikes more rapidly since they have
already been introduced to some of the drills.
Internal
energy strikes involve proper breathing, proper coordinated
movement, stability, and proper use of antagonistic and
agonistic muscles.

Proper
Breathing
Have
any of you ever seen a boxing match and heard the boxer breath
out explosively through his nose? This is done for a two fold
purpose, to increase the power of the punch and prepare the
boxer's body if he takes a blow. If your health allows you to,
try throwing a punch while holding your breath. Now throw the
same punch while exhaling hard. Did you notice a difference in
the power and speed? Similar breathing is done during the
internal energy strike, with the exception that you continue to
breath out as long as you are following through. Visa versa
continuing to breath out helps to prolong your follow through
and do more damage to your attacker. Now let me stop right here
and tell you that you should not try any of these techniques or
drills without the guidance of a good instructor. Furthermore
James R. Kirkham, The Martial Arts Ezine, nor any of The Martial
Arts Ezine's contributors nor advertisers accept responsibility
for any injuries which may take place attempting any of these
techniques, drills, or exercises including injuries to the
practitioner, partner of the practitioner, or attacker of the
practitioner. I'm sorry I have to take time for that, but some
people will not accept responsibility for their own actions.

Proper
Coordinated Movement
I
know this sounds basic, but the hips and hand must move together
and in the same direction to execute an internal energy strike.
The basic mistakes when throwing a punch is to lean forward,
lock the front knee out, and fall forward as you punch. This
must be corrected in order to execute any type of good punch
especially an internal energy punch.
Stability
Stability
is different than balance. In order to be stable, you must be
able to remain in a stationary position against resistance. The
best position to be stable in the beginning is a front stance.
Later, through proper use of weight shifts and straightening a
leg, you can be stable in almost any position. Practice your
internal energy punch slowly, against a resistance in order to
make sure you are stable. It should be done slowly at first to
make sure you are not compensating for lack of stability with
speed and inertia.
Proper
Use of Agonistic and Antagonistic Muscles
Antagonistic
muscles are those muscles which inhibit a movement you are
trying to execute. Agonistic muscles are those muscles that aid
you in executing a movement. When I tell my students they must
be completely relaxed when they throw an internal energy strike,
I am not being completely honest. Muscles are always at some
level of tension commonly known as muscle tone. In order to
stand up and have our legs support us there must also be some
contraction of muscles. By the way if it ever comes up, muscles
can only contract, they cannot expand, although they can stretch
and are more efficient in a stretched state, thus the wind up
for a pitch or drawing back (or chambering) to throw a punch.
My
students seem to understand the concept of being as relaxed as
possible and still staying on their feet however, therefore I
allow myself this tiny fib.
When
you execute an internal energy strike it must be done with a
complete totally relaxed movement and follow through. Any
tension from antagonistic muscles will decrease the power of the
strike and hinder the flow and follow through of the movement.
The fact that an attacker is in the way of you doing a complete
follow through should not hinder you from completing your
relaxed, flowing follow through.
Redirect
your attacker's force back into him. Increase your striking
power 50% to 100% with less effort.

The fact that an attacker is in the way of you doing a complete
follow through should not hinder you from completing your
relaxed, flowing follow through.
Redirect
your attacker's force back into him. Increase your striking
power 50% to 100% with less effort.

The Effects of Ego When Teaching Martial Arts by Kirkham
I'm so proud of the fact that I have no ego. It truly makes me the most humble
person I've ever met. Regardless of whether we admit it or not, we all have an
ego. It's what we do with that ego and how we demonstrate it among our martial
arts peers and students which determine how good and what type of instructor we
are....

Announcement from Rick Kirkham;
Aloha;
Just wanted to let you all know, after spending the last 11 years (total of 20
years) in the hearing health care industry as a webmaster, computer manager and
hearing instrument consultant, I'm finally taking the plunge and going full time
with my own business of computer lesson and problem solving specializing in
senior citizens here on Oahu
http://newbieservices.com/Articles/HiComputerLessonsArt.htm tutoring students
with behavior challenges http://martialarts808.com/index.php?topic=5.0 teaching
self-defense and running my internet businesses.
http://KirkhamsEbooks.com my first website and my largest. I believe it's the
largest family owned book software and video store.
http://NewbieServices.com to help new folks get started on line.
http://GlobalHearingServices.com so I can continue to help the hearing impaired
http://MartialArts808.com which offers free advertising to martial arts and
health and fitness professionals and enthusiasts
I have adsense in place for passive income, working on building a mailing list
through Yahoo groups, my favorite means of communication
http://kirkhamsebooks.com/Marketing/Articles/MoneyWithGroups.htm
I have my own books and software I've written as well as affiliating and
publishing other people's work as well.
I admit I've been nervous about it, but oddly enough, when my last day or "work"
ended, I felt a great relief and I'm ready to get to my real work now of
continuing to build relationships, make friends and feed the family.
As near as I can tell I have everything in place. If anyone has any advice I'd
be happy to listen. I'd like to thank you all for your support and advice I've
received in the past. Without you all this would not be possible.
Rick
