It really is a matter of training. Kenpo/Kempo through Ed Parker really started breaking ground on fluid and rapid head attacks focusing on eye rakes - gouges, elbows, etc. Just recently, Richard Dimitri and Sammy Franco have taken this concept a step further. Viewing their material, I realized just how effective this style of attack is. I guess you could say I rediscovered some great stuff. If you are at all interested in this you should get your hands on Dimitri's Shredder program and Sammy Franco's Widowmaker program. I really am partial to Franco's system because it reminds me of some things that Ed Parker used to teach. It's also lead to me barrowing from Franco's program to develop my own similar system of attack. I can't say enough about how simple but scary effective this stuff really is.
