Alex Kozma's new book and website

[Edward M]

hi

 

Alex Kozma's new book 'Warrior Guards the Mountain - the internal martial traditions of China, Japan and South East Asia' will be published in a limited edition on 7th June.

 

375 pages, 227 X 153 large format, fully illustrated throughout, this book discusses the author's training with Dr. Serge Augier, as well as giving a clear and deep presentation of Dr. Augier's teachings of Ziranmen and the Daoist system as whole. With illustrations of Ziranmen forms, applications and neigong exercises, and translations of Wan Lai Sheng's famous 1929 book on martial arts, the reader is given a lucid explanation of this rare system.

 

The author then shares his training experiences and conversations with Grandmaster Cheong Cheng Leong of the Chuka Phoenix Eye Fist from Penang, and with Master He Jing Han of Baguaquan from Taiwan. There then follows interviews and experiences with a wide range of fighting art experts from across Asia and the west, including Master Paul Whitrod discussing the Chow Gar, Kalari and Thai weapons arts, Shihan Tanaka of traditional Japanese fighting and healing arts, Sifu Jerry Tan of Kuntao, Pendekar Steve Benitez and Laarni Benitez of Pentjak Silat, Pak Muhammad Ariffin of Chimande Silat, Guru Simon Das of Silat Sendeng, Kruu Pedro Villalobos of Muay Thai Sangha, Li Shrfu and Lindsey Wei of traditional Wudangshan boxing on White Horse Mountain, Wudang, John Evans Sensei of Yamabushi arts and Iaido/Battojutsu, Master Lu Yaoqin and Rudy Ibarra of Ziranmen, Gordon Lu discussing Song and Hebei Xingyiquan and Drdha Shivanath adept of the Way of the Bow and the inner arts of Indian Yoga.

Has Alex, himself or anyone from any of his lineages developed any abilities as a result of their training?

Yes they have, the ability to successfully defend themselves against attackers.

 

hope that helps

But nothing on the level of John Chang/Wang Li Ping right?

[Edward M]

To be honest i've never asked Alex if he can do things like that John Chang.....not sure why one would want those type of powers other than to get attention.

Well I consider it the hallmark of a functional system. I'm weird though, so don't mind me.

I've met Alex once before and had the pleasure to train with him back in 2005. He is a VERY good martial artist. A touch evasive at times, but very humble and not ego driven like a lot of teachers.

Old school internal training is his speciality, not immortality, new age, power seeking gubbins.

Guru Simon Das of Silat Sendeng,

 

Hi, just wanted to clear up the confusion. Simon is no longer affilianted with Silat Sendeng, nor has he ever been a 'Guru' of the art, he was given UK rep status. I know this because I'm in communication with Guru Jamalluddin of Silat Sendeng's son.

 

I didn't do this out of maliciousness just didn't want people to get the wrong impression.

 

Anyway,

 

Badabye.
