 Kissaki is karate for the REAL world
The sword was considered to be the "Soul" of the Samurai, and the blade itself a venerated object of both beauty
and deadly efficiency; a fusion of harmony and function.
The Kissaki is the term for the deadly sharp cutting edge of the very tip.
Kissaki-Kai Karate-Do was founded by Vince Morris, now 8th Dan of Nottingham, Great Britain in March 1993 at the
behest of senior black belt members who had become disillusioned with what the "traditional" karate schools had
to offer in terms of "real" fighting techniques. 'Kissaki Kai is not like fighting an opponent, it is an execution.' Kissaki Kai has taken karate back to its origins, past the point-scoring sports forms, and right back to the art of self-defense it once was. Kissaki teaches the fundamental 5 elements of Combat.
...I encourage you to spread the word regarding the value of Kata training and what it
really teaches a student. Too many karateka think that there is fighting and then there is kata for "form".
Kata is fighting.....the problem as I see it is that much of the true knowledge that Kata is trying to
teach has been obscured by years of myth and misunderstanding by most instructors. I hope that with the
expansion of the internet and the opening up of communications between martial artists, we can all have
availability to your instruction.

The Rules of CombatRules of Combat - The Development Of Warrior Tactics
Described as a "Modern Book of Five Rings" it serves as a guide for students and instructors on the journey to
principle based training and mastery of their skills.
All fights, large battles or individual encounters, follow certain rules. And if you know the rules, you can win any fight. Here are some examples: Rule #4: Never stop until it's over - Would you walk away from a fight in which the assailant still has a weapon and can use it against you again? Rule #7: Never fight at the same speed - Do not let a fight deteriorate into a one-for-one exchange of blows. Once you have started your techniques, the assailant should have no window of opportunity to regain the initiative. Rule #12: A lock is only a prelude - In many dojos techniques are only practiced in isolation. For a more realistic training you must remember that a hold or a lock is often only a prelude to control or finish, not the control or finish itself. The Rules of Combat can help you to structure your techniques in a way that maximises your chances to win any confrontation. These rules are principles that can be applied to any martial art, not just karate. Like no other martial art, all of Kissaki Kai's techniques and bunkai are based on these rules or priniples.

Law Enforcement Training (LETS Int.)
Based on the Rules of Combat, Vince Morris has also developed law enforcement training:
LETS provides practical and effective officer protection, arrest and control procedures which are used daily
in Police Forces and Special Forces around the world. ... I have been a Police Officer for over 22 years, and have been trained a number of times
in various defensive tactics, including unarmed techniques, Kubotan, PR 24 (tonfa), and aerosol devices. I
have received training in these areas in the past from the F.B.I., the West Virginia State Police Academy,
local law enforcement agencies, and martial arts instructors. Your training was by far the best that I have
ever had, period. Your techniques were invariably easy to learn yet always effective, and your hands-on
instructional approach lends total confidence in one's ability to be able to actually use the techniques in
the field, and what the end result of a properly applied move will be. I now have a whole new "bag of
tricks" to take out on the streets with me, and I really do feel a lot more confident in my ability to
swiftly and decisively handle an opponent at close quarters.

Testimonials
... Typical training involves continuous repetition of boring kihon... This not correct
karate and it is not interesting. Because of it in Russia there are lot of black belts without knowledge.
These people do not understand karate but are the instructors! ...meeting with Vince Morris has changed my
life. I have found that... my students have ceased to be robots. They have begun to understand karate.
V. M., 3rd Dan, Russia
'Sensei Morris, I would like to thank you for the seminar.... It really opened my eyes as
to the secrets behind kihon. As an educator, I would like to compliment you on your teaching style. It was
very easy to learn from you, especially with over 60 students training at the time. I'm sure that you get
many of these and probably do not need another, but I was very impressed. Thank You, '

'Hello Vince,
As a member of Antwerp police I was fortunate enough to be part of the September training session, ... Since the situation is aggravating rapidly in Antwerp, your tactics got me out of trouble more than once, .... many thanks,' van Achter, Filip
I recently borrowed a copy of Kyusho Secrets from a new student of mine and was stunned by your insight.
Why do you want to read on? You don't have to of course, but I need to share this glimpse of blinding light
which reading your book has caused.

'I just finished viewing your Paladin video, "One Strike,One Kill," and I just wanted to
drop you a note telling you how much I enjoyed it. Rarely have I found bunkai explanations as well thought
out and practical as the ones you give in your tape. It is an excellent tape.
Respectfully,' Bob Orlando, USA
(Many times European & World Kata Champion and film actor - 80 films recently filmed with Bruce Willis, now
working with John Travolta)
...What a refreshing view of the application of those techniques, rather than the standard
ones that our instructors had previously showed us, and we believed to be so effective... Your approach to
self-defence through Kata, proves that within the Kata is truly where most all application originates. The
history of which masters introduced which Kata, why certain Kata were practised in the manner they were,
and what the results would be are much clearer than the standard answers we were given. We are anxiously
waiting for more study and training with the Kissaki Kai Karate-Do Organisation. '
