- Five Things I Wish I Would Have Known About The Martial Arts!
By: Al Case | - Okay, I've been doing the martial arts for over forty years. I've lived through the arts of the decades, judo in the fifties, karate in the sixties, kung fu in the seventies, and so on, and I've analyzed durn near every art there is. I've made up a list of things which I wish people would have told me, or I somehow could have found out, when I first started.
The point here is that classes were where you learned to sweat, and not where you learned to talk. However, the reason a lot o ...

- The Real And Mystical Reason Why I Didn't Matrix Shaolin Kung Fu!
By: Al Case | - Matrixing, to put your fevered mind to rest, is the analysis and handling of force and direction. 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 ...

- The Secret Of How Real Internal Energy Works!
By: Al Case | - One of the biggest mysteries of the martial arts is internal energy. Wudan arts, like Tai Chi Chuan and Pa Kua Chang and Hsing i claim it. Supposedly it takes lifetimes to build, but when you get it you can defeat attackers with just a sigh and a brush of the palm.
Well, the truth of the matter is that internal energy is in many arts, and if it is not, it can be put into any art easily. The principles of internal energy, you see, are easy to understand. So if you study kenpo or tae ...

- Butterfly Pa Kua Chang In Three Easy Steps!
By: Al Case | - The first thing you are going to have to overcome is the idea that it takes decades to learn such arts as Tai Chi Chuan or Pa Kua Chang or Aikido. Look, the army makes soldiers in three months, and that includes some high tech stuff. And, when you add up the actual hours spent on that college course, it doesn't take that long to make a scientist or mathematician.
The idea that it takes long stretches of time is something that has been taught to us by people who want to make money. A ...

- The Golden And Infinite Truth About Tai Chi Chuan
By: Al Case | - The absolute truth of the martial art known as Tai Chi Chuan is easily seen in a symbol that nobody understands. If you read to the end of my words here you will understand that symbol, and it will enlighten your practice of the martial arts. I am speaking of that symbol of the grand terminus which we call yin yang.
The Yin Yang symbol is two fishes swimming is night and day is good and evil is...poppycock. The Yin Yang symbol has nothing to do with those poetic but truncated observ ...

- The Three Stages Imperative To Immaculate Martial Arts!
By: Al Case | - The common attitude towards the martial arts is that they are a rite of passage. Rite of passage is a common concept amongst societies. But, modern society doesn't really need rite of passage, rather, it needs a logical approach to make the martial arts easier to learn and more effective.
This, of course, means that the bully boy attitude of many instructors is going to have to go on the skids. The idea that you have to be a man to do something needs to be re-evaluated. Really, to g ...

- Creating The Perfect Martial Art
By: Al Case | - In studying the martial arts I was struck by one single thing: the randomness of it all. When I found Matrixing I found that randomness increased with the age of an art. The longer an artform had been around, the apt it was to be random.
The point here is that when an style is invented, it is almost always developed along certain logical lines. As times pass, and the art isnt used in combat, these lines tend to blur. Logic begins to leave.

By: maxxborshoff | - At last Dragon ball Evolution came on screen and it is distressing that all is not well with this doomed venture.

- Martial Arts And Instant Intuition
By: Al Case | - Matrixing is the analysis and handling of force and direction (flow). It is quite unique--never been anything like it in the martial arts, or, for that matter, in the world. It enables people to analyze the martial arts so that they are instantly workable. Consider what one student, new to Matrixing, had to say after experiencing it.
Matrixing to me means to be able to adapt to anything that is given using natural unbroken motion. We should know how to use our tools in conjunctio ...

- China And Buddhism - The Way We Were
By: Derek Dashwood | - While Indian Prince Siddhartha Gautama, the Buddha, died in BC 486 his teachings did not reach into China until AD 286. As usual this journey was a long and difficult route. Their route was to go to the west and up over the lower shoulder of the vast Himalayan Mountains. This would be them down on the ridge of the high and barren Tibetan Platea. Moving eastward they would have made their way down into the Gobi Desert. As this was now the Silk Road there were occasional places for respite,food an ...

- How To Write An Authentic Martial Arts Fight Scene
By: G.D. Baum | - Most fight scenes rely heavily upon the vague, and somewhat inaccurate, public perceptions of how martial artists would utilize their skills in a real fight. That is an unfortunate limitation, because the most interesting aspect of the martial arts is what goes on inside the mind of the fighter. That is where the most compelling part of the story truly lies. It's what needs to be told.

- 5 Great Tips On Shaolin King Fu Training
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.
