The Nine Principles
new reconstruction article
The exact wording of the original recovered page has not been reproduced. This reconstruction uses the surrounding classic-site headings to present nine practical principles for modern Kenpo study.
Historical reconstruction: This is newly written editorial material based on surviving Tracy-family accounts, public historical references and the recovered structure of the classic site. It is not presented as verbatim text from the original website.
A reconstructed nine-point framework
1. Train consistently. 2. Think honestly. 3. Study other arts without losing your foundation. 4. Develop intuitive judgment. 5. Improve perception. 6. Pay attention to details. 7. Remove useless motion. 8. Adapt without abandoning structure. 9. Accept responsibility for what you teach.
Principles need pressure
A principle is not proven because it sounds wise. It must survive drills, partner practice, fatigue, timing changes and honest correction.
