How To Use Martial Arts Theory To Master Modern Firearms Technology

By:


What a fantastic thing we are doing with here: ancient martial arts theory and modern firearms technology. Yet, physics is physics, and the two fields of study come together just perfectly. Of course, we must set aside the mystery and hold to the hard data.

The fact is that what when we are shooting a weapon what we are trying to do is hold steady on the target. To not shake, shiver, flinch, or move in any fashion, and so on. To be precise, to make perfect stillness of the body.

This means not just control of the body, but control of the mind. This is our first application of martial arts principles; this is where we develop mushin no shin, that mind of no mind, wherein reality is perceived as it is, and there are no distractions. If one can ignore mental 'chatter,' then one has much better chance to hold the body steady; this is a matter of focused concentration.

The second thing to understand in this matter is that when somebody shoots a gun there is going to be a reaction. Doesn't matter if you have recoilless technology, Newton's laws can't be ignored...at least in the beginning. If there is an action there is going to be an equal and opposite reaction.

Assuming that you don't have a weapon that is going to 'suck the recoil up,' you need to have the ability to absorb recoil. This means the arm can't be rigid, but rather slightly bent and able to accept the shock with the least amount of shake. Of course, there is still going to be that sudden shock, and here is where we really delve into the martial arts.

There is this thing, especially in Aikido, called an unbendable arm. Stand with the back of your hand on your partner's shoulder, and have your partner pull on the inner joint of the elbow. If your arm is tense, it can be pulled down; if your arm is relaxed and filled with flowing energy, it cannot be pulled down.

At first this seems mystical, until one realizes that the body is more than just bone and muscle, it is an energy system. By focusing your attention on a point in the distance, and generating energy in your center (a point two inches below the navel), and by imagining that energy traveling out your arm and to that distant point, you are creating a whole new way of shooting a gun. Actually, you are creating the right way to shoot a gun.

Interestingly, people who practice shooting for a number of years eventually come up with this theory by themselves. But I am describing the nuts and bolts here, and hopefully enabling you to chop a few years off of your training, and to move to the head of the class. To use energy, to 'intend' your bullet to hit the target, that is ancient martial arts theory applied to Modern firearms technology.
