The Modern Combative Meaning of the 10 Chinese Boxing Principles

            The late Christopher “Kai Sai” Casey of the International Kuo Shu Federation outlined “10 Principles” that complete fighters must master. These 10 principles are based on seemingly esoteric Chinese Boxing (Kung-Fu) concepts and more familiar western biomechanics and metaphysics. The following definitions are designed to provide the modern user with mission applicable biomechanical explanations of these concepts for use in real fighting and adversary control. These 10 Principles are cornerstones of the C.O.M.B.A.T. G.O.N.K.A. Protocol and are considered essential attributes for the CG User.
