LeaF Posted August 4, 2002 Share Posted August 4, 2002 I looked it up and this is all I was able to find hope it helpsThe body disruption series illustrated in this publication is from the special forces art of Hom-Do. There are no known books published on this diversified fighting art, which has been hidden from the public for thousands of years. To date there are only seventeen certified instructors of this specialized art in the United States and only two dozen worldwide. Hom-Do is one of the martial art forms that for many years was considered too complex to be taught to the general public. The system has encompassed many principles of lever-age and balance combined with medical knowledge and restructuring of the body to devel-op a means of defense against any attacker. The passing of ancient secrets helped to devel-op the morality of life encompassed through the principles of fighting. This all started in a small village located somewhere near the Philippine Islands. Since many villagers had to fight to survive, the system had to be diversified against all types of attacks and warfare conditions. For many years the Horn-Do system stayed among select village people who were selected and trained as the "protectors" of the village. The system was never discussed or shown in public by any of the villagers unless it was called to use for their self protection. In the late 1960's a highly decorated military commander from the United States was stationed on this island. Only after saving the life of the village elder was he accepted by the people and invited to be trained in the ancestral art of Horn-Do. Each morning and evening he was put through the rigorous test of stamina, toughness and agility that was needed to be proficient in the art. After training there for over a dozen years, he came back to the United States with the blessing of the village elders to teach the art only to the percentage of stu-dents who were ready to sacrifice their pain and sweat to encompass a life of discipline, and to learn a fighting ability that was second to none. As a teenager, I became the first student to study this complete martial art form in the tri-state area. I was taught the art of defense for many years until I was seasoned enough to learn the offensive techniques that a thorough fighting system should encompass. I am honored and privileged to hold a Fifth Degree black belt and to be regional director of all certified Horn-Do schools. In 1980 I founded Fighting Fit Systems, Inc. in Lodi, New Jersey where I am presently Chief Instructor. When I put my school into effect, under my teacher's blessing, I incorporated the belief of toughness, the theory of reading movement and interaction, and the total spectrum of realistic fighting as it pertains to the streets. My school's format keeps the traditional aspect of the Horn-Do System while it encourages the learning of all techniques with an open mind. This Mini Manual will illustrate a series of knock out and disruption points that lie in the human body. Understand that the art of Horn-Do is very comprehensive and has many varied movements. Therefore only certain movements will be concentrated on in this publication. Body disruption refers to the altering of internal fluids and nervous system patterns through the use of strategically placed strikes during a counter attack on a direct movement pattern initiated during an attack. Knock out points, on the other hand, can cause immediate results to a human body when executed with precision and penetration. When dealing with the aspect of defending yourself as an expert in the martial arts, you must be sure that you have the mind set and the ability to back it up. This type of training shows the diversity between a butcher and a surgeon. Realize that there is no short cut to being proficient, just good instruction and many hours of hard work. This manual will demonstrate and explain points of entry, but the best type of specialized training is achieved through a certified Hom-Do instructor.
