Had the privilege of attending Mr. Durgan's Advanced PKI Class last night. Since I am not in actuality a PKI student learning full curriculum, I associate and advance my knowledge with PKI concepts and principles (which again are all fully grounded in EPAK teachings), but will not be ranked in PKI. This just how Mr. Durgan operates, always willing to share his knowledge with those who take the time to ask questions and learn. For that, I am fully grateful.

This class caused me to reflect on a lesson I learned while preparing for my second-degree black belt test in Mira Loma, Ca. I had injured my knee fairly severely and wanted to postpone taking the test until I healed. Wanting to do the very best I could to honor my instructors and perform well. Dennis Harris flat out told me, life will bring challenges that will not always allow you to be fully prepared to fight and protect yourself at 100%. Sickness, injuries, work, mental state are all a part of environmental awareness and affect your abilities. Short story made long, he flat out said no you have to adjust accordingly. Suffice it to say I limped through not super happy with my performance, but the board said I passed. Lesson learned. Last night, I witnessed that in action. Impressive to say the least.

Back to PKI. Classes warm up with basics and fundamentals as always. Last night covered and interesting study into the various types of crossovers, their use and applications. From distance to angle changes.

Class moved to working PKI Rebounding Set. Mr. Dugan took a gracious amount of time going over "rebounding & wrapping". Describing accelerating strikes with the end of the weapon thought of as a Flail or Mace; as it is more commonly known. With an in-depth explanation of both Kinesthesiology and Kinesiology and the generation of power. Major strikes, minor strikes and simple inserts all meant to enhance the power, continuity and flow as well as the timing of the next strike. Introducing sophistication as there are multiple results within one motion. These principles were explained using Repeating & Reversing Mace, Leaping Crane and Thundering Hammers (Names associated with how I was taught and not PKI Names) since each one uses a different application of Rebounding and Wrapping. The names are different, but the principles and concepts are no different. All this to say, hit with effect and sometimes a larger circle is needed to achieve the desired effect.

Moved on to subtle pauses built into the self-defense sequences. These pauses allow for changes in combat on the fly. Using altering as a method of changing the original target and weapon or both as the situation dictates. This caused me to reflect once again on previous training. Previously, my pauses were not predictable and were not put to terms that made sense or that could be routinely repeated as they were dictated on attacker's reaction. They were described as situations that stop flow and put you visually back in the center of the Universal Pattern. Mr. Durgan described inserted and purposeful pauses that allow for meaningful adjustments within a sequence.

Mr. Durgan then directed the class to work PKI Ground Sets 1&2. These sets are founded on proven groundwork developed by Mr. Durgan and incorporated into the PKI curriculum to give students real work applications of control and defense while ending up or going to the ground.

Mr. Durgan's instruction always includes filling dead space with demonstrations of techniques using manipulations that apply constant pressure leading to a more accurately controlled opponent.

These are my notes and apply an accumulation of previous experiences, instruction and applications and are not all meant to fully express PKI from a student's perspective. Although, all of this is Kenpo at its core, I might misstate or forget an important point.

Had the pleasure of attending Mr. Durgan’s PKI black belt class last night. Class always opens with foot maneuvers and basics.

Worked some Hubud drills and transitioned into close range power development for an upper cut from rotation and keeping weapons tight all working in sync.

Worked Checking Hands to develop sensitivity with weapon and target selection and identification.

Switched to knife work using fluid, single, cutting patterns that result in multiple cuts. Also, forward/reverse patterns utilizing switching grips and staying tight on the target without any wasted motion that over extends and leaves the target.

Class closed out working on Staff Set.

All good stuff. PKI is a Kenpo based art leaving nothing out of the system, but adding multiple aspects of tried and true combat arts that cohesively enhance survival chances.
