Patrick
McCarthy has rediscovered lost practices contained within ancestral and
classical kata and successfully systematized these findings into
comprehensive study/practice modules. They're easy to learn and
guaranteed to help improve your skills, and your style, too, and without
negatively affecting your existing curricula---only enhancing it. The HAPV-theory
and its corresponding two-person drill
practices are the most imitated teaching methods used by seminar
instructors today and have been assisting thousands of karate students
and teachers around the world for more than a decade. Our seminars offer
an intelligent yet informal way of learning ... why wait any longer

"By
1985, twenty years of training in
traditional martial arts [TMA] had left me rather frustrated by its
rule-bound practices, inflexible rituals and cultural ambiguity. It
wasn’t that I disliked TMA or wanted to leave it but I could no longer
accept its modern interpretation of ritualized practices [i.e. kata,
hyung, xing – classical choreographed routines/forms/patterns].
Consequently, I began to search for a teacher, a style, or even an
organization that could teach me the original and more functional
combative application practices in a rational, coherent and systematized
manner. Specifically, I was looking for someone who could -
#1.Use realistic acts of physical violence as a
contextual premise from which to improve my skills rather than
continue to depend upon the rule-bound reverse punch scenarios,
etc.
#2. Teach prescribed, yet practical/functional,
defensive templates through which the original habitual acts of
physical violence could be recreated and effectively negotiated.
#3. Reveal how such prescribed templates [i.e.
the mnemonic rituals which make up the classically choreographed
routines] not only culminated the lessons already imparted but,
when linked together, clearly offered something greater than the
sum total of their individual parts.
#4.
Clearly identify and demonstrate where these prescribed
mnemonics exist in the classical-based choreographed routines
[handed down in TMA] and how they’re linked back to the
habitual acts of physical violence. |
While there was certainly no shortage of
excellent practitioners everywhere I looked, I found no trace of such
teachings anywhere in Japan or Okinawa! Dissatisfied, I began to cross
train. Cross training opened many new doors of opportunity while
providing valuable insights about both training and life that I had
never before realized. Based upon this experience I was compelled to
make my own deductions, which gradually resulted in the establishment of
the HAPV-theory and two-person drill concept. Such findings ultimately
lead me to discover lost practices and the essence of what the ancient
masters taught."
Patrick McCarthy is pre-eminent in our field. Pioneer is a perfect
description of his considerable status and accomplishments. I think
he is at the pinnacle of karate research, practice and dissemination. Apart
from our friendship, I can say quite dispassionately that Karate would
still be 'fumbling' in the dark were it not for his exceptional work.
Where does he get the energy? " - Nathan J. Johnson England
