Now with the launch of our new vbook, TanDao for Evolving Martial Artists, we can begin discussing Jeet Kune Do (JKD), Shaolin Five Animals and Tan’s Dazzling Hands more freely. Prior to this, our videos and posts have focused on general ideas of martial arts, with an emphasis on kung fu.
As a new system – one that integrates fight science and traditional art – it is challenging to explain TanDao in a brief post or newsletter. TanDao for Evolving Martial Artists gives a short overview of hard, soft and internal systems as exemplified by JKD, Shaolin and Dazzling Hands, respectively. Our vbook is technology at its best — text with video clips, and it is a basic reference for examining hard, soft and internal techniques and strategies from a comprehensive perspective. So, techniques as diverse as a classical crane beak, a wrestling take down or internal palm strike, can be understood as different stages of expressing martial power.
In our TanDao videos we will be using JKD terminology (five angles of attack, economy of motion, etc.) as well as traditional Shaolin and Daoist ideas yin and yang, dantien, qi) to enrich the spectrum of Evolving Martial Artists. A goal for TanDao Evolving Martial Artists is to compare different fighting arts and to explore traditional secrets with a scientific eye.

I think this is another exciting kind of martial arts, because it is a new system and it said to be one that integrates fight science and traditional art. Whenever I read about martial arts articles or post, I always get excited about it because just like other things in this world, it keeps on changing and being upgraded.
