To search for the old is to understand the new. The old, the new This is a matter of time. In all things man must have a clear mind. The Way: Who will pass it on straight and well?
Specifically, it is the method of the martial arts. Unfortunately, all too often the method changes according to the whim of the teacher. Free of flaw means scientifically true. I remember being in the sixth grade, looking at medical charts, trying to figure out the best way to place the foot so I could run faster.
Analyzing the arch as a spring, and pondering how best to activate the spring. Tracing the muscles on the legs, trying to figure out which way to turn the legs so that the muscles were best utilized. I took this same method of analyzing with me into the martial arts. The funny thing is that in the end I came up with a simple method, one that takes mere moments to understand, and to utilize, and one can utilize this method throughout the forms. This illuminates the forms, and makes them perfect.
And, the good news, I describe and show the method in The Master Instructor course. I even show the seven specific ways of breaking this method down for the individual parts of the body. Real simple stuff. But nobody has ever written it down anywhere.
If you walk with your feet turned out, or inwards, you wear the heels of your shoes in odd patterns. Maybe the inside of the heel wears down, rendering the shoe useless long before it is due to wear out. Maybe the outside. What you have to understand is that this wearing effect occurs on the inside of the body, too. Have you come across martial arts masters who have knee replacements?
Or hip replacements? Or worn out shoulders? Or other malfunctioning body parts? This is because they were doing the martial arts without understanding the correct way to use the body. And people can actually tear their bodies apart. Simply, you start using the body in the right way, according to the seven things I tell you about the body and using chi.
You start using less energy, and having more impact. This is true economy of motion. Ultimately, the body starts working like a well oiled machine, you start aging slower, your skin stays clearer, you have full range of motion, full strength, you just resist aging in the most delightful way. They simply used their body in the correct manner without understanding or analyzing why.

A fake, comic book , internet scam martial art is a handful of tricks that look neat, but have little relation to each other. A real self defense method is a LOT of tricks, tied together with effective theory so that everything relates, and which then can work on you to change your mindset and make you a better human being. It develops a sixth sense. The hairs would have stood on my neck, I would have been wired, I would have been more alert than Defcon Five!
Because THAT is what a real fighting discipline does to you. It wakes you up, it makes you intuitive, it gives you that sixth sense. Consider this: when you study a real discipline, like Jujitsu or Wing Chun or good, old Karate , when somebody holds a gun on you…you instantly wake up!
Concerning the above two considerations, the above two chapters, I speak from personal experience. This is not a hype, or a war story, or some whimsical comic book supposition. Yes, sometimes a form of self defense like Karate or Kung Fu might have some mistakes in it, maybe defenses against weapons that are no more, maybe a poser technique, but even these problems tend to make you think, condition your body, give you alternatives in the extreme.
Everything is an education, and it really all depends on what you do with it, whether you make it real enough to save your life. Only seek out real martial arts, real forms of self defense. He is the originator of Matrixing Technology, which is the only science of the martial arts in the world.
People who learn Matrixing can absorb classical martial arts three times faster, and make them work three times better. If you want to learn a real method of Self Defense, the best place to start is Matrix Karate.

Written by Al Case, a martial artist with near fifty years experience in the martial arts, this book takes an outside viewpoint of Bruce Lee, and his martial art Jeet Kune Do.
Bruce Lee is often considered, specifically as to what drove him to his martial arts theories. This is a hard core book. While it is respectful, it is obvious that the author holds Mr. Lee in high esteem, there are some very hard questions asked concerning the formation of JKD, and the real purpose of the art.
It is also an intelligent book, going into Matrixing Technology, which is the first and only science of the martial arts, and Neutronic philosophy. The author claims that because JKD is an advanced martial art only advanced methods of thought can be used to analyze it. Which is to say that if you are Beeavis or Butthead, you may want to avoid this tome. Case has, as said, near 50 years martial arts experience. He began Kenpo Karate in , quickly became an instructor, and went on to study virtually every martial art that came down the pike during the Golden Age of Martial Arts.
He became a writer for the magazines in , and had his own column in Inside Karate. Thus, Mr. His compare and contrast with JKD should provide the most enlightened student with much thought.
Bruce Lee, Jeet Kune Do, and Neutronics, will be released and on Amazon within the week, and students interested in the paperback version should do a search on Amazon probably by the last week of April Posted in free martial arts books , karate , karate books , kenpo , kung fu , kung fu books , taekwondo.

The first is Ki? The second is Ai? Some of you may notice something here, those are the same 2 character as Aikido??? Nobody ever talks about it anymore but this could be a sob, a laugh, a sigh, or scream to bring all your force to bear in a fight.
This is useless, utterly useless. It is loud, bold and proud. Did Bruce Lee care about what people thought? A good kiai comes from the Dan Tien Tanden , if it helps, think of it as coming from the diaphragm.

Are they honestly expecting me to drop the opposite hand when I block and punch? And why are they having me drop my hands when in sparring they tell me to keep my hands up?
In stark contrast are kata such as sanseirui, where it is very apparent that the kata is truly a combat scenario that captured and formalized into a form. Bruce was an incredible man, certainly what he said must have some value. Besides, if not for forms, how do we transmit the style, untarnished, to the next generation?
The problem with Bruce, is that he was amazing. He was so amazing that somewhere along the line he seems to have forgotten that you have to explain to a new student how to make a fist, not to punch with the flat part of your fist, to line up the bones, to add CBM. However, he repeatedly wanted to throw away all the tools that are used to learn basics.
Let us start with the so simple that they are obnoxious forms, like the early Kenpo forms and the Pinans. Symmetry is important, you need to be able to block, thrust, flick, parry and strike on both sides, these forms teach you exactly that, and they force you to practice equally on both sides. So basic, boring forms have a purpose, even if it is only training.
However, when we go back to the question of dropping the hand, you do have to stop and wonder why practice something that we would never want to do in combat. This is where I personally feel that some of these forms are less valuable than they could be.
Sanchin appears to be one of these boring beginner forms; however, it is an exceptional kata, Please see the earlier article I wrote on Sanchin add a link to the other blog post. My sensei was fond of saying that he could tell your belt level by watching your performance of Sanchin. In simple terms Dim Mak points are over the most vulnerable and weak anatomical locations. Strikes to these points result in the opponent being incapacitated and unable to continue. Depending on the acupuncture point that is struck the opponent will be paralyzed, knocked unconscious or killed.
The knowledge of these points will transform your martial from a good system to a great system. And hopefully stimulate an interest in the healing art of acupuncture.
