Haunchido

Haunchido is a defense method developed in part by many individuals with and without institutional martial art backrounds over a 40 year period, led by defense specialist and certified 4th degree blackbelt J. Thorval Ellis.

Who has always believed you can learn from anyone, degrees and intstitutions don't necessarily mean anything. And tend to lean toward deception and profit leaving out the most important steps needed to insure defense is effective and reality based.

What reality? Knowing the difference between show business and martial mimicry.

Haunchido's primary focus is about the four components of physics that are the key factors; Recoil, Arching, Shielding and Flexion.

The purpose is not to be visually impressive showing theatrical mombo jombo that just won't work. What's impressive is not effective.

Without adding these important methods defense is just motion and technique without the ammunition necessary to become effective.

Especially when dealing with hard core physical aggressive actions forced upon you from bullies such as tackling, pushing,shoving,submission etc.

It's about discovering the "opposite" of what is considered real, that makes defense effective. It's all about body physics which is over looked and rarely taught today.
