The mook jong, or wooden dummy, is the most versatile and effective training aid available to the martial artist. It allows a fighter to practice full-power blocks, strikes and kicks with the same realism as training with a partner, but unlike a trainingpartner, it is never tired, sick, bored or injured. Sifu Joseph Simonet is a certified Master Instructor of kenpo, Tongkat Serak pentjak silat, Doce Pares escrima, Yang-style taijiquan and wing chun. In this dynamic two-video set, Simonet shows you how he used wooden dummy training to perfect his practice of all these arts and forge them into an explosive synthesis called the "Slam Set." Simonet takes you step by step through the movements and explains their traditional origins. He then puts theory into hard-core practice and teaches you how to use these movements to instantly destroy a street attacker. For academic study only.
