Use The use of the cane as a weapon, as originally taught in weapons schools, was codified by the masters of <a title="Savate" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Savate">savate</a> so that the cane was taught as a weapon of self-defence.

A practitioner of savate is called a savateur (male) or savateuse (female). Savate takes its name from the French for "old boot" (heavy footwear that used to be worn during fights).

He felt these were universal combat truths that were self evident and would lead to combat success if followed. The "4 Combat Ranges" in particular are what he felt were instrumental in becoming a "total" martial artist. This is also the principle most related to mixed martial arts. JKD practitioners also subscribe to the notion that the best defense is a strong offense, hence the principle of intercepting. Lee believed that in order for an opponent to attack someone they had to move towards them. This provided an opportunity to "intercept" that attack or movement. The principle of interception covers more than just intercepting physical attacks. Lee believed that many non-verbals and telegraphs (subtle movements that an opponent is unaware of) could be perceived or "intercepted" and thus be used to one's advantage. The "5 Ways of Attack" are attacking categories that help Jeet Kune Do practitioners... http://kraphtuos.multiply.com/journal/item/87/Jeet_Kune_Do_-_Combat_Principles Thu, 3 Jul 2008 01:23:14 -0000 Bruce Lee Libarary Bruce Lee Library is a series of volumes covering Bruce Lee's life and martial arts system of Jeet Kune Do. The volumes were compiled and edited by John Little; famous as a Bruce Lee biographer. John Little was selected by the Bruce Lee estate as the only person authorized to review the entirety of Lee's personal notes and to write and edit books on Lee's martial arts system of Jeet Kune Do Much of the materials used for these volumes were from Bruce Lee's own notes and writings made available by Bruce Lee's widow Linda Lee Cadwell. Lee had compiled many volumes worth of materials during his convalescence after he suffered a back injury during one of his practice sessions in 1970. Some of these materials were published in the early 1970's as The Tao of Jeet Kune Do. During the late 1990's this material was revisited and compiled into five core texts and various other Bruce Lee biographies. These volumes are a combination of Lee's original materials along interviews and conversations... http://kraphtuos.multiply.com/reviews/item/39 Thu, 3 Jul 2008 00:53:27 -0000 Lua - Olohe Solomon Kaihewalu The official website of Lua Ancient Hawaiian http://kraphtuos.multiply.com/links/item/49/Lua_-_Olohe_Solomon_Kaihewalu Thu, 3 Jul 2008 00:38:56 -0000 Kai Fu Kai Fu is a <a class="mw-redirect" title="Martial Arts" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martial_Arts">martial art</a> that was developed in the <a title="Hawaiian Islands" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawaiian_Islands">Hawaiian Islands</a> in the 1930s. Kai Fu is derrived from the <a title="Japan" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japan">Japanese</a> martial art <a class="mw-redirect" title="Ju-jitsu" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ju-jitsu">Ju-jitsu</a> which came to Hawaii with the surge of Japanese immigrants in the late 1860s. The local Hawaiians already had a martial art called <a class="new" title="Ohana Lua (page does not exist)" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ohana_Lua&action=edit&redlink=1">Ohana Lua</a>, which when combined with the new found Ju-jitsu created the martial art Kai Fu as we know it today. Kai Fu came to the main-land <a title="United States" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States">United States</a> after <a title="World War II" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II">World War II</a> when the sailors stationed at <a title="Pearl Harbor" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pearl_Harbor">Pearl Harbor</a> returned home. The sailors had been taught Kai Fu by the native Hawaiians as a gesture of friendship. Composition According to <a class="new" title="Dr. James Ketelaar (page does not exist)" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Dr._James_Ketelaar&action=edit&redlink=1">Dr. James Ketelaar</a>, Professor in History and East Asian Languages and Civilizations at the <a title="University of Chicago" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Chicago">University of Chicago</a>, when observed, Kai Fu is much more similar to Japanese Ju-jitsu than the Hawaiian Ohana Lua. In fact, Kai fu uses the same rank belt system that Ju-jitsu and <a title="Judo" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judo">Judo</a> have used. The belt colors in ascending order are white, yellow, orange, green, blue, brown and black. http://kraphtuos.multiply.com/journal/item/86/Kai_Fu Thu, 3 Jul 2008 00:33:30 -0000 Kapu Kuialua Kapu Kuialua (also Pa Kuialua, Kuialua or just Lua) is said to be an ancient <a title="Native Hawaiians" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Native_Hawaiians">Hawaiian</a> <a class="mw-redirect" title="Martial art" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martial_art">martial art</a> of bone breaking, emphasizing joint locks as well as strikes. The name roughly translates to "forbidden way to fight", as it is claimed to have been only taught to the king and his family, and teaching outside of the sanctioned circle was punishable by death. The modern form of this art may actually include techniques from other traditional martial arts, such as <a title="Jujutsu" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jujutsu">jujutsu</a>, <a title="Judo" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judo">judo</a>, <a title="Karate" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karate">karate</a> and <a title="Aikido" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aikido">aikido</a>. Weapons used by natives of the Hawaiian islands may have been focused on primarily in the art at one time, as it is said the fighter who loses his weapons should then resort to "Mokomoko" (dirty fighting methods). The old warriors of this art would oil up and remove hair in order to be able slip away and avoid being grappled in battle.
