White Tiger Kenpo Basics. No matter what system of Martial Arts you study the basics are the foundation or the building blocks of that art. The basics: where everything begins, and everything ends. From the onset of training through Black Belt and beyond, everything comes back to basics. You can't practice them enough. There are NO PICTURES in this book, it is designed for students who need help reviewing or remembering a technique. Small enough to take with you anyway you want to practice.
