All of our films are informal and do not spoonfeed moves to the viewer. The objective on my part is to define those principles and concepts that underlie dynamic, tactical, and natural movement both in fighting and in training (as in the conditioning films) rather than specifically prescribing set routines. For example, there are too many ways of striking for me to dictate the specific moves you should use. Like running, everybody does it differently. I've defined many ways of 'skinning the cat'--many ways of punching, for example. But all of them take into account the same underlying principles, which when understood will enable you to solve any combative or training problem. These principles are like a master key which can open any lock; but to build that key you have to internalise the principles. There are no 'three easy steps to becoming a great fighter'.

What you see on the films is both how I articulate these concepts and principles, and also how I clearly demonstrate how they work. I don't say one thing and do another. The films are unstructured and done in a working environment, warts and all, with trainees who are in the process of learning for themselves. And I have to address problems as they come up.

When viewing these films, rather than watching the trainees, it would be wise to listen and watch what I'm saying. Indeed, sometimes it would be smart to simply listen to the audio to understand the principles and concepts before even looking at the screen. Understanding the principles and concepts is what the videos are all about. The principles I'm talking about are inescapable and have to be dealt with if you are going to fight more effectively. -- Steve Morris
