Ethics

- Do not abuse this knowledge in any way, or in any place.

- Try your best to avoid any verbal and physical conflicts - do not invite them in any way.

- Before the assault occurs, try to leave the place, out of the reach of a potential aggressor.

- Use these methods only when absolutely necessary.

- When applying T.A.E. techniques, calculate the amount of damage you cause to the attacker. Do not hesitate, but do not cause more damage than is necessary.

What is T.A.E. Self Defense?

Many so-called marketing 'experts' have recommended opening lines to me, designed to grab attention and create buy-in, but I've decided not to use any of them. My guess is that you would rather know exactly what this book is all about, what you can get from it, and what you cant. This is not a book that claims you will be able to learn everything about self-defense, street fights, or mixed martial arts (MMA). It doesnt claim to be a manual that will turn you into a perfect martial artist or cage fighter. However, T.A.E self-defense is exactly what the name stands for the Total Attack Elimination method of defending yourself in real-life dangerous situations. When applied, the attacker cant continue to attack. He (or she) will be totally eliminated in effectiveness, losing all ability to move, react, or harm you. This extraordinary effect that T.A.E. students learn to generate in the body and mind of the aggressor will be explained in detail, a little later.

In the same way that I begin my T.A.E. Seminar, I will begin by informing readers of the following important points:

1) T.A.E. is probably the simplest, yet one of the most effective, methods of self-defense that you have seen so far.

2) These methods are meant for real-life, self-defense situations. However, they can't be used in competitions or sparring matches, because the methods are most definitely outside of any combat sport (or martial arts competition) rules and regulations.

3) These methods are the foundation. Once they are clear to you, you will easily use them as before the usual striking techniques. Once understood, the variations can easily be added to multiple types of attacks and situations.

I'm a big believer in simplicity. When you attentively examine certain aspects of life with a good dose of introspection, you will notice things that have the most meaning and work the best are actually the simplest things. In the same way that you shouldn't be carried away by the external appearance and glitter of objects, but search for the real value, you should not allow the size and simple form of this book to be an obstacle in receiving its great power.

Why Learn T.A.E?

I was requested by my students to publish this book, right after my first T.A.E. seminar in 1989. I remember exactly what I thought of the request:

I just showed you everything, you have your notes, and so what would be the use of a book?

In a moment I will tell you how that changed, and why I decided to compile this book. Meanwhile, I believe that you may want to hear more about the main features of T.A.E. Besides what has already been listed, here are the main characteristics:

- Anyone can learn and quickly master T.A.E., from a total beginner to an advanced martial artist. Distinctions of gender or age do not matter men and women can learn just as well as young children or older adults.

- You need nothing but this book and a partner in order to master these techniques, although these videos you can request here will help you get through the basics faster.

- You can add this to any existing self-defense knowledge or martial arts skills. In deed it is a great upgrade to any martial art skill set. Once learned, you will be able to use basic T.A.E. pressure point techniques in various situations, attacks, etc.

- T.A.E. alone can protect you from a common attacker but it is recommended you DO NOT depend only on these pressure point techniques.

- Very soon, you will be able to see how T.A.E opens the doors wide open for any martial arts or self-defense techniques you are introduced with.

- This book is a T.A.E Part One - If you are absolute beginner, T.A.E. will help you immensely anyways but you need to master basic striking methods in order to be 100% safe from any sort of attack out there.

- T.A.E is NOT meant for use in street fighting while attacking, bullying others, or any other type of abuse.

After nearly thirty years of teaching self-defense and martial arts, I have never felt comfortable with sharing what I teach to the general public. I have been especially wary of teaching the methods of manipulating pressure points, which are sensitive and painful spots on the human body. This knowledge is very powerful and can be very easily abused. People who spend even a short amount of time in learning these methods reach superior levels of learning quite quickly. For example, T.A.E. methods can strongly boost the efficiency of your punching and kicking techniques. Widely distributing this knowledge in any form was never something I felt comfortable with, but recently, something changed.

Why I Teach T.A.E.?

The deep inner drive that has inspired me, over the last thirty years, is the great pleasure I have received out of assisting and helping people. After publishing books about acupuncture, stress management, and Chi Kung, I have begun to receive many positive responses, from kindly written emails and follow-up questions, to letters of gratitude. I began to understand that the only reason why I felt hesitant to go public with this knowledge was the fear of teaching it to the wrong kind of people.

T.A.E. skills could be easily abused. While the skills can be taught to anyone, the motivation for using them lies within that person. Giving out this powerful information to someone I did not know personally could be tricky. You see, when dealing with people face-to-face, I can easily recognize (and avoid teaching) negative characters. Maybe I am still protected by the ceremonies of the Buddhist monks in which I participated as a child (while living with great Qian Bo-Wan), maybe it's my current lifestyle, or I am just lucky. Though I'm not exactly sure how this occurs, I can sense those types of dark souls right away. Whatever is the reason, the potency and power protecting this knowledge should extend via visible means, such as through digital media channels. I believe that's a fact.

In the words of a popular saying, like attracts like. The bottom line is that I must trust that this book will come into the hands of those who need this knowledge and wont abuse it.

More About T.A.E

The original Chinese martial arts, on which this material is based, are very direct and focused on results. If you want to know the one main characteristic to be found in each of these techniques, it could probably be summed up in this sentence:

To effectively neutralize an attacker in the shortest possible amount of time.

There is no marketing hype in this book or in any of my other books. That is why I can tell you, in a simple and direct way, some very real and solid reasons for one to spend a few weeks learning T.A.E. - even if you never plan to become good at pressure point self-defense methods. Here are some of the reasons:
