Does Hikuta use blocking? I didn't see any in the training materials.

Hikuta is a continuous attack system that doesn't use blocks.

Blocking is an extra move that delays the end of any confrontation.

When attacked by a group, blocking is especially dangerous because it requires the defender to spend more time engaging each attacker.

So, at some point, no matter how fast the defender moves, one of the attackers will end up behind the defender, hitting the defender on the back of the head or knocking him down.

What was it like training with DOK Lee? How good a fighter was he?

The first time that Kubler Al walked through DOK Lee’s front door, he placed a telephone book into his hands and asked him to put it on his chest. He then placed his fingertips on the phone book and literally exploded the most powerful strike Kubler Al had ever felt right through it. The shockwave that traveled through the phone book exploded into his chest slamming him backwards so hard that Kubler Al almost fell on the floor.

From that day forward, including all the times Kubler Al stayed at his home, DOK Lee shared extensively with him his knowledge of combat as it pertains to extreme warfare.

There were times where Kubler Al felt like the Karate Kid, studying under Mr. Miyagi. He helped DOK Lee plant and harvest vegetables in his garden, he put out feed for deer and other wild animals, as well as helping cook and with shopping.

After each trip to visit DOK Lee Kubler Al spent months sorting and organizing all the information that he gave him.

Overall Kubler Al spend more than 2,000 hours arranging everything he taught him about Kuta. A large portion of these efforts will be published soon in a book about Kuta or Hikuta as most people refer to it.

In regards to his fighting skills, Kubler Al said that while DOK Lee was alive, the U.S. government considered him as the most dangerous man in the world in hand to hand combat.

Why did you choose Hikuta? What impressed you about it?

Kubler Al was tired of the complex nature of martial arts and he was looking for a way to instantly end a fight, because he realized that in real life the attackers don’t come at you one at a time like they do in the movies, therefore he knew he needed quick and powerful moves so that he could defeat a group attack, which was one of his main concerns.

When he tried Hikuta he was able to learn it very quickly. He became so much quicker and Hikuta provided a way to use his bodyweight with this newly acquired quickness, giving him the solution he had been looking for, the ability to instantly end a fight, even if he was outnumbered.

He was amazed how easy it was to learn Hikuta because he was used to the complex nature and long term learning required in the martial arts.

Why isn't Hikuta more popular?

Hikuta is an art developed for the protection of the worlds elite.
And so it was never promoted in Martial arts movies or taught to anyone for monthly lessons.

There are no Hikuta dojos or gyms so Hikuta has been a well kept secret. And thanks to a man named D.O.K. Lee who wrote the book "Controlled Violence" Kubler Al was introduced to this art.

The word Hikuta means 'highlights of Kuta'. The word Hikuta was coined by DOK Lee in approximately 1993 for a marketing effort that included the release of a short book and video giving a brief glimpse of the professional art of Kuta.

The word ‘Kuta’ means ‘extreme violence that comes from within’. The origin of the professional art of Kuta dates back to ancient Egypt. The earliest known history is that Kuta was provided to the bodyguards of pharaoh to protect him and his court.

Then just before Egypt divided into an upper and lower kingdom, the group, known as Kublers, that provided Kuta to the bodyguards departed on a journey that led them deep into China. They remained there for over two thousand years.

Then the Kublers migrated into Europe. Throughout their existence the Kublers maintained a code of silence where other than the bodyguards of pharaoh, they shared very little of their knowledge of Kuta.

In 1998, two years before the death of DOK Lee, Kubler Al began sharing Kuta with others, with the full blessing and encouragement of DOK Lee.
