Mission Statement
It is the intent of Professor Durgan for this Institution of the Martial Arts to further not only the study of but also the capacity of the study of Kenpo as taught here and by Professor Durgan. In the broader scope for the P.K.I., It is hoped that the students begin to understand and incorporate the elements of the arts that are somewhat lost in translation or misunderstood over these last generations. While it is true that the “Kenpo” system is the foundation that will be used for the purpose of learning of the basics and basic concepts as outlined herein, we cannot ignore the reality of today’s world and self-defense needs. So it is, that the P.K.I. aims to educate the students that elect to study it, in more spontaneous, organic, and realistic drills that will lead them to greater extemporaneous application of their skills and knowledge to defend themselves in today’s world. The principles and concepts of combat will be introduced and practiced thru the newly developed and adopted training methods, modules, and studies of the P.K.I. curriculum. These will be action reaction based drills that will help instill a greater awareness of the ability to defend against the “what ifs” of the combat situations that may arise in today’s real world. Armed with key concepts such as “relative positioning”, “position recognition”, and “leverage” and the extended understanding and applications of the Universal Pattern to name a few. Students will begin to see how it is that the “principles” of motion can lead to the complete domination of the opponent regardless of the arena or forum. Additionally the introduction and incorporation and more comprehensive study of the two additional elements of combat should complete the training curriculum as a viable and truly mixed martial art; this is not the goal merely a side effect of the process. This inclusion will incorporate grappling or what will be referred to as “ground work” and knife and stick work which will be referred to as the “weapons of today”. It is only the intention of the P.K.I. to propagate the ideals and further understanding of the concepts of Kenpo as we know them through this comprehensive collection and assembly of principles and concepts we call; “Phasic Kombatives Integrated”.
