Sensei Kris is one of the best people I know. He is a wonderful teacher.

Kathrine Dee

Kris is probably one of the best karateka in the world (and a kind hearted person), and is the author of some excellent books, like the Way of Kata, and The Little Black Book of Violence.

I came to Kris a few years ago with an issue in my life, and he was the perfect person to seek. He is a fine listener, but most importantly, instead of throwing a lot of advice at me (which I might choose to follow or not), he posed questions to me to make me think about how to frame the issue.

His (Kris') structural striking embodied the concept of short and simple ... I've seen a lot of these things done in static positions. Kris can do them moving ...

I first met Kris at a martial arts seminar in Oxford UK. I found him to be extremely knowledgeable and approachable. Recently I was given a life-changing opportunity and needed some guidance and thought who better than Kris to reach out to for advice. He has a natural ability to extract your innermost thoughts by asking relevant questions.

After the sudden and unexpected loss of my adult son, I was going through the motions and just getting through each day almost on auto-pilot. I reached out to Kris because I just wanted to have someone hear me out and tell me whether or not I was doing this, or anything at all, right.

When you seek greater skill in karate, you are ultimately seeking authority over yourself.

Being clear about what you want and what you need may be difficult. There are internal challenges and external challenges.

Long-held and ingrained behaviors are going to challenged, questions and reshaped.

My goal is to aide you, to come alongside you and strengthen your commitment to your path. High achievers across history have possessed the quality of vision. Goals and the responsibility for that vision are where the rubber meets the road. The responsibility is to set one’s self on the path and through diligent seeking, to grow, change, and achieve.

The 70-Second Sensei: Soul of the Genius Sensei: Living and Teaching Beyond the Nuts & Bolts

Winner 11th Annual National Indie Excellence Awards

Once you have mastered the physical aspects of your martial art, it is time to take it to the next level–to lead, to teach, to leave a legacy. This innovative book shows you how.

“It is always shin, the spirit, that decides the fate of the battle,” wrote Taisen Deshimaru in The Zen Way to the Martial Arts. Indeed, in nearly every human endeavor what separates world-class individuals from also-rans is the mental game. Application, instruction, and holistic self-development, these are the hallmarks of the exceptional sensei.

Sensei is a Japanese word, commonly translated as “teacher,” which means “one who has come before.” This term is usually applied to martial arts instructors, yet it can signify anyone who has blazed a trail for others to follow. It applies to all those who have acquired valuable knowledge, skills, and experience and are willing to share their expertise with others while continuing to grow themselves. After all, setting an example that others wish to emulate is the very essence of leadership.

PERSPECTIVE

Perspective comes from the ability to see patterns. Patterns, in life, training and conflict. We are inundated with data on a daily basis, but data is not information, it has no context. Once you gain context to the data, it turns into information. The information you can use to access and choose your path.


Wisdom of how that information is used at the highest level. Wisdom is often shared or unveiled through perspective and experience. Perspective and experience are the two elements you gain when you access this material.
