THE THINGS THAT MOTIVATED ME TO FORM ZEN BU KAN KEMPO

I noticed that some children were not reacting the way that a particular style wanted them to react. I am talking mainly about the traditional Japanese Styles. The reason I mention Japanese styles is because those are the styles that I was trained in. I enjoyed the 'STRICT DISCIPLINE' and the 'HARDNESS', above all the 'ORIENTAL' beliefs and their way of life. But some of their students did not! That made me look into the question why?

It was simple: THEY WERE NOT JAPANESE!

In the end other people in those years came to a common conclusion and a very educated man in the Netherlands, Anton Geising, (he was the first European man who took the Heavyweight Crown away from the Japanese Judo World) said 'I am not a Japanese, I am not doing things their way, and what's more I don't even look like one!'

He wrote a book on judo titled: My Way Of Judo. His book made a lot of sense, not only to me but to a whole lot of people. Suddenly I understood why our kids don't react so freely to their ways of teaching.
Mind you it is very STRONG, very POWERFUL, very SPIRITUAL.
To deliver all of these things, though not exactly the same way, with their meanings still staying in the teachings, the method of teaching must be modified.
As I was looking at the FUTURE -the BACKBONE of Australia, and probably all those other countries -I was looking at the VALUE we are teaching to our kids.

So I came to a conclusion:

IN AUSTRALIA WE CAN'T FORCE THAT IDEOLOGY, AND BRAINWASH OUR KIDS INTO IT - WE HAVE TO LOVE OUR KIDS INTO IT.

So the PROGRAM has to be the same, but we have to view it from a Different Way.

I had a look at all MEN today! There is something lacking in our men!
But what? Let's go back in time when MAN was MAN. He was the 'provider', the Source of getting food on the table for the family. He was the 'warrior', who defended their existence against the predators and other tribes, wild animals; keeping peace between his family members etc. Now this is missing from our society.
I can hear already that different groups are screaming at me about their 'rights'. That is missing from our MEN today, he was stripped of his natural title as a 'warrior.
So, when I look into the existence of the 'tribes' of today, where those values are kept, they have a lot less problem in every way. So, MEN turned to 'SPORTS'.
They were desperately clinging to their way of proving their reason to be a 'man'.

So, look at Martial Arts: the non-contact is better than nothing but if you want to feel and have the 'power' to deliver all those forms of defences/attacks then you must find out what those 'techniques' can do.

So, the moment has come to give MEN back some of his rights to be a MAN! He must learn hard to earn that respect he was after, but without killing his fellow human beings-so he must expericence PAIN, DISCOMFORT!

BUT!

It has to be done in a way that we will not be able to produce later on with UNDISCIPLINED kids!

POWER IS ONLY GOOD IF DISCIPLINED!

Let's look at common STEAM!

While STEAM goes where it wants to go it's a meaningless waste. The moment it's disciplined, it becomes such a great POWER that it runs ENGINES, producing ELECTRICITY.

Just look around you! You may see 50,000 different things around you, discovered CREATED without DISCIPLINE!.

Those are nothing my friend - NOTHING!

So, our teaching has to be on the same PRINCIPLINE, so I formed after a lot of deep thinking and decided to give back as much as possible all those values in a LOVING way.

After some researching into different names to be called, I came to the present name for that Creation, that can be prooven to work with not FORCE but LOVE and this can be achieved through:

ZEN BU KAN KEMPO

Now the meaning of those Words are (there are more than one, I know that there will be an outcry from some people):

TRAINING CENTRE FOR ALL THINGS!

THE MIND TRAINING CENTRE

Because KEMPO is mentioned, with it all the PHYSICAL aspects are covered.

Not only the MIND and SPIRITUAL but all the phyical also.

I know that some People will come up with their own ideas, but to Me and My Students that is the Meaning for it!

I still have the deepest respect for the Japanes Martial Arts, they were the ones who SYSTEMISED, and worked out a perfect Japanese Way to introduce Martial Arts to the world. However if you carefully look into the history, you will find that lot of the countries, had their own SYSTEMS of MARTIAL ARTS.

It all depended HOW, WHY, WHEN those Techniques were used. Look into it like I did, and have an open mind and accept things as they are. Then only then are you going to have a huge change in your BELIEF and UNDERTANDING.

I have discovered that in Old Europe, long before the Japanese influence, in their museums, there are over 30,000 drawings of those techniques that the Japanese are teaching us now as something that they discovered.

Don't believe me, look into it with an OPEN mind!

When you find it out be honest about it and learn to accept the TRUTH.
