PowerPlus Martial Art Secrets

ring lost martial art skills and principles not handed down through their lineage, both in the USA and abroad. Ever since the Korean War, secret martial art principles have been kept from Occidentals. Considered “National Treasures” of China, Japan, Korea and Okinawa, masters of olden times dared not pass these secret principles to students of the west. Only the successor of the school or style was privileged to know the unseen power that supercharged the techniques of the style. If you were not taught about these SUPER PRINCIPLES, it’s not your teachers fault. Most of these secrets were totally unknown until the mid 1980s when one master opened up to the west; a few others slowly began to follow. All secrets apply to hard and soft styles equally. Most of the secret principles cannot be learned by mimicking the master; they are too esoteric to be noticed. Therefore the ancient masters could use them at will and never have them be detected or stolen. The old stories of the master’s “secret book” were true. Now you can have a peek inside!

Chinese healing principles of the Five Elements, Ba Gua, Yin and Yang, plus the emotional balancing
properties of the 10 major organs. Students from the age of seven to eighty-two have enjoyed the
