  • Karate Kiai And The Secret Of Kotodama
    By: Al Case | - Karate Kiai translates as 'spirit shout,' and it is the deadly scream that karate practitioners emit when chopping somebody's head off. Well, maybe I stated that a little strongly, grin, but there is a truth to the karate shout that is undeniable and leads to some rather arcane and mysterious knowledge. I am speaking, of course, of the practice of Kotodama, which translates as 'Word spirit.'

    The notion behind a Karate kiai is to commit all of ones energies into one moment, one karat ...

  • Three Things One Must Know When Doing Real Shaolin Kung Fu Training
    By: Al Case | - The wins students get from true Shaolin Kung Fu training are absolutely unbelievable. The key to these wins is to train correctly. After all, you could have the nicest cut of ribs in the world, but cook it incorrectly and you'll have a charcoal mess.

    When one is studying Kung Fu one should always move the body as a single unit. Six Harmonies Boxing preaches that one should move the hand at the same time as the foot, the knee with the elbow, and the hips with the shoulders. This is a ...

  • Shaolin Kung Fu: The Chinese Martial Arts Worth Practicing
    By: Pranav Mehta | - In fact Shaolin Kung Fu is a group of Chinese Martial Arts that have a connection to the Shaolin Monastery which was the place where these martial arts were developed and spread across China and further into the world.
    It is believed that the Buddhist Monks from India travelled to China to translate the Buddhist Scriptures from Sanskrit to Mandarin and it was they who carried the original manuscripts that described martial arts that came to be known later as Shaolin Kung Fu.

  • Karate Kumite...getting Emotional And Mad Dog Survival
    By: Al Case | - Karate Kumite and Clint Eastwood, I never thought those two things would come together in a single paragraph. In the old western 'The Outlaw Josie Wales,' Mr. Eastwood talks to some some soft pioneers about how to get mad dog mean when you're in a fight to the finish. There is truth to be found in this advice, but if you are training in classical martial arts training, there is also a falsehood.

    The truth is that you have to raise up your desire to survive. You have to be willing to ...

  • Karate Chop Is Not The Deadliest Weapon In The Martial Arts
    By: Al Case | - Karate chop him, yelled the girl, and I laughed. This was a movie where neither the actor, the writer, the director, not nobody, knew the martial arts. See, people used to think that a karate chop to the neck would kill people outright, of course, this was a while ago.

    When I first began studying the art of Chinese Kenpo Karate I was told that a spear hand strike to the solar plexus or the neck was the deadliest martial arts attack one could deliver. Just stick those steel hard fing ...

  • Bubishi Martial Arts Book Is Number One Bible Of Karate
    By: Al Case | - The Bubishi, the one having to do with White Crane and Monk's fist Boxing, was compiled sometime over the last few hundred years in Fuzhou Province. Fuzhou is where Shaolin Kung Fu was practiced, and which kung fu became the inspiration for Naha-te, which became Karate. There is no doubt that it is one of the most influential martial arts books in history, and probably the bible of All Karate.

    The Bubishi is actually a lengthy work of art, jam packed with poems, anatomical drawings, ...

  • The Real Shaolin History The Shaolin Masters Can't Tell You!
    By: Al Case | - The real Shaolin History is one of those animals that's been pretty fouled up. One reason for this is that the communist state controls all history, and rewrites it to suit themselves. Another reason is that the current history comes from the oral tradition, and therefore is quite open to mythicizing.

    The real history starts with Bodhidharma traveling to China to see the emperor. This tends to enhance Bodhidharma at the expense of the emperor, and it should not be that way. The empe ...

  • Finding The True History Behind The Kung Fu Fighting Traditions
    By: Al Case | - Kung Fu refers to a number of fighting disciplines that have been created over time in China. The name itself means 'skill attained by hard work over time.' The classical Kung Fu are those arts created before the advent of the People's Republic of China.

  • The Real History Of Wing Chun Kung Fu And Sticky Hands
    By: Al Case | - This is one of those stories that really should be passed around. Wing Chun Kung Fu, one of the best of the old gung fu systems, was created by a (sniff) little girl! And, if that isn't bad enough, the Sticky Hands drill, after several hundred years, still represents high tech state of the Martial Arts!

    Wing Chun was a peasant type female in old China. She was a cute, little thing, and she looked forward to marrying her boyfriend, life was going to be tip top, and all that sort of t ...

  • Where Did Kung Fu Really Come From?
    By: Al Case | - I was working in a factory many years ago, and word got around that I was training in the martial arts. A Philippine co-worker came up to me one day, and he said, No study martial arts, martial Arts bad...bad, then he shook his head and walked away. From this odd beginning I discovered where Kung Fu really came from.
    As one might expect, I was intrigued by my co-workers attitude, the Philippines were renowned for their fighting disciplines, and so I tracked him down and questione ...

  • Understanding An Ascetic To Become A Neutronic Being Through The Martial Arts
    By: Al Case | - There are three main paths to become enlightened, and these can be considered when becoming a Neutronic Being: warrior, priest, ascetic. There are others, but these three pretty much sum up the main pathways. While they seem at odds, these paths do have certain similarities, and it is these similarities that we will examine in this article.

    The priest studies scripture and passes it along, thus he helps people. The warrior studies the ways of war, ostensibly protecting people, and t ...

  • If You Can't Do These Feats Of Strength You Can't Call Yourself Bruce Lee Tough!
    By: Al Case | - Martial Artists like to think of themselves as tough cookies. They break a few bricks and swagger around and grunt. But once you read the following list of feats, you are going to know that these martial artists need to work a little harder to be Brue Lee tough!

    Do you want to be faster than a snake taking a does of steroids? Try placing your hands at your sides and striking. Bruce Lee could manage a punch from this relaxed stance in five hundredths of a second!

  • Searching For The Best Shaolin Kung Fu Martial Art Is A Difficult Task!
    By: Al Case | - Defining the best Shaolin Kung Fu is a tough question, considering the high quality of this martial art. I mean, people don't teach it just to make money, they teach it for passion and love of art. Still, we should be able to focus in on how to isolate the best gung fu.

    First, we can usually cross such arts as Lohan Quan off the list. The reason for this is because they come mostly from Wushu practices. Wushu is actually a martial art created, or at least altered and pushed by, the ...

  • Evaluating The Six Best Methods To Learn Martial Art
    By: Al Case | - There will be preferences when it comes time to learn Martial Arts, but there are also a number of things that are fairly obvious, and that we will be able to agree about. Interestingly, I came across the information I am relaying here many years ago, and have used it myself. It deals with analyzing the worth of media in transmitting information. The worst way to absorb data is through the movies or television. This is because the martial art techniques that you will see on the big screen, wheth ...

  • The Secret Move Hidden Inside Shaolin Kung Fu Fighting Systems
    By: Al Case | - This secret trick is actually inside karate fighting systems, as well as kung fu fighting systems, or just about any martial art.

    Stand in a natural stance, feet shoulder width and extend the arms straight out in front of the body. Bend the arms slightly and make circles with the arms in front of your body in a ...

    By: Al Case | - When I was a child I wanted to learn secret martial arts. I wanted to know those mysterious fighting moves that would enable somebody smaller to smash somebody taller. I wanted to know that hapkido or jujitsu or whatever that would enable me to really trash the bad guys.

    I began my study of Ed Parker Kenpo Karate, and the mysteries were at my fingertips. In those whirling movements were hidden fist martial arts, invisible and flaming dragon concepts, and down and dirty, take 'em ap ...

  • How Speed Relates To The Overall Picture Of Good And Rare Martial Arts
    By: Al Case | - Whether you study Tae Kwon Do, Kenpo, or that rare Wudan Art from Faroutistan, speed is vitally important to the martial arts. If you are going to get anywhere in freestyle, you must be faster than your foe. Even in the doing of your patterns, speed gives a certain instruction that is necessary to the successful martial artist.

    That said, there is another facet to the subject of speed, a facet which embraces the entire martial arts and is the mark of your progress over the decades. ...

  • The Way A One Armed Student Learns Martial Arts
    By: Al Case | - Bobby lost his left arm because of a childhood accident, but it didn't slow him down. He rode bikes, played sports, and did everything a child is supposed to do, except for one. He never did the martial arts, he figured he had finally found the one activity he would never be able to do.

    When a martial arts dojo opened up in his neighborhood, however, he could not stop thinking about it. He would pass by slowly, staring at the kids working out inside. He would ask his friends who stu ...

  • How Instructors Can Improve Their Martial Arts Abilities!
    By: Al Case | - One of the most shocking things in the martial arts is how instructors stop their own training. By this I mean, after a somebody opens up his own school, they never get any more instruction for themselves. The idea that they hold to is that they know everything, and all they have to do now is polish it, perfect it, and time will be their teacher.

    This concept, of course, is ridiculous. Yes, time will make a person better, but what will improve a person faster is getting more data. I ...

The aged Buddhist abbot Shi Yongxin who usually plays high profile could only behave so calmly thanks to his matchless magical Kungfu, under the public opinion.

  • Creating Wudan Out Of Shaolin!
    By: Al Case | - One of the oldest of the planetary martial arts is Shaolin. It was brought from India by a fellow named Bodhidharma, and has been pivotal to martial arts the world over. Interestingly, Shaolin eventually changed into an internal art atop Wudan Mountain.

    I know there will be those who disagree with what I say here, but I hold to it, as I have watched students go through the evolution of hard to soft, and the evolution of art from Shaolin to Wudan mirrors what I have seen students go ...

  • The Real And Mystical Reason Why I Didn't Matrix Shaolin Kung Fu!

Everything in the universe has a direction, and everything in the universe has lots of potentials for collision. Thus, the study of Matrixing becomes crucial if one is going to understand things like Shaolin kung fu.

    Now, to set this article up in the proper manner, let me say that the martial arts are nothing more than random strings of data. This is like somebody memorizing a dozen pi ...

    By: Yoshi Kundagawa | - Invaluable Tips on Shaolin Kung Fu Training
    ----------
    It was Michael Freeman's second day at our Kung-Fu school and I took a serious look at him. He was built like King Kong, was as hairy as King Kong, wore Mr. T's hairdo, but he had a supermodel's puckered lips and Michael Jackson's heavily-lined eyes. This made me quite leery of his goals, but I was in total concentration mode as I began teaching him some basic Shaolin Kung Fu tips.

    By: Alexander Popov | - 1. While polishing your technique you should never stick out your chest or stomach either when fighting or practicing.

This is the right sign to distinguish between Kung Fu masters and Kung Fu athletes.
