  • Martial Arts Science Revealed By Five Elements
    By: Al Case | - That there is a martial arts science is a fact which none can dispute, the sad news is that people hold to art, and refuse the science in their thinking. This science, however, lives and breathes in the fighting disciplines and is described in many of the books, strategies and philosophies of the arts. In this piece of writing we will discuss the distinct progression of arts that will reveal this science.

    The universe can easily be seen as five distinct elements. Interestingly, thou ...

  • The Ordered Development Of Chi Energy In The Martial Arts
    By: Al Case | - If you think the martial arts are about hitting people, you have the wrong idea. They are about discovering the truth that resides within you, they are about sculpting the energy of your body, they are about exploring your true potential as a human being. This bit of writing is a simple construction of how chi energy builds through the Martial Arts.

    I should say, before we begin, that this is idealized. It happens as I say it happens if the art(s) you are studying have not been over ...

  • The World Of Five Incredibly Deadly Kung Fu Styles
    By: Al Case | - I love Kung Fu Movies, so a title like Five Incredibly Deadly Kung Fu Styles is most excellent. When you speak of these arts, however, you aren't just discussing cinema. You are delving into incredibly potent regimens that are the most dangerous martial arts on the planet.

    These are specific body disciplines which steel the body and make sharp the mind. People who engage in these arts have gone beyond the flesh, and are describing a world towards which mankind hurries with appreciat ...

  • Compiling The Different Martial Arts Styles Into One System
    By: Al Case | - The odd thing is, when we create martial arts styles and systems, we are repeating, and even compounding the errors of those who went before us. This is sort of an inarguable fact that nobody sees or understands. It is this fact that is at the heart of most Martial Arts systems.

    The people of yesterday had no technology to draw upon. They didn't have logical methods of thought, or, many times, even any formal education. Thus, their look at martial arts was based on mysticism, and th ...

  • Using Flux Theory To Understand Levels And Types Of Fah Jing In The Martial Arts
    By: Al Case | - In the martial arts Fah Jing is explosive power. Most people experience this in such arts as Karate or taekwon do or kenpo, but on a very limited basis.

    The procedure is very simple: drop the weight and let the energy explode from the tan tien. Dropping the weight causes energy to surge up the legs and into the tan tien. I actually came up with a formula for this: weight equals energy equals work.

    This simple dropping of weight, however, only creates an explosion. If yo ...

  • The Difference Between Kung Fu And Karate
    By: Al Case | - It's a strange thing that we would think in terms of differences when we consider and compare Kung Fu and Karate, for there are a lot of similarities. They are both martial disciplines, after all, and karate is actually grown from kung fu. To really see the differences, however, one needs to look at the arts as a complete picture, and determine exactly how they evolved.

    In the beginning, those beautiful, refined kung fu patterns were most likely constructed by peasant conscripts who ...

  • Finding That Secret Martial Arts Shaolin Technique!
    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 ...

  • He Was Crazy...and He Studied Korean Karate With Me!
    By: Al Case | - I doubt whether most martial arts training halls, be they Gung Fu or Shotokan or Hapkido or whatever, have ever had a crazy guy in their school like Mud Car. We called him Mud Car because that's what his license plates on his car said. That vehicle, more than just about anything else, summed up Mud Car.

    He had tied parachute webbing across the insides of his car because he felt that that material was best for holding his car together on the inside. He had fire extinguishers fastened ...

  • 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 Fighting Methods Of The Five Animals Of Shaolin Kung Fu
    By: Al Case | - The Martial Arts, and this includes Shaolin kung fu, are passed on through unique patterns of movement. They are, at heart, a mythology created to represent a unique methodology. They are the science of an ancient time, passed down to us by dance.

    Thus, to understand the martial arts, we must ask ourselves what science were the ancients trying to describe. Science is science, however, and I think you will find that the real reasons for the five animals is empirical in nature. Also, ...

  • The Truth Behind The Discipline Of Zen Karate!
    By: Al Case | - What do you get out of doing the Martial Arts? What strange abilities can you really discover and awaken? Is there a reality that could be called Zen Karate...or zen aikido, or zen whatever other martial art you might study?

    There is a thing called zen, and the best book for describing it is Zen Flesh, Zen Bones. Past that, zen is the experience of yourself, as discovered through specific discipline. My specific discipline and experience was through karate.

  • What If You Could Learn Real Kung Fu In A Couple Of Months?
    By: Al Case | - Interesting concept, eh? Sounds like one of those old Chop Sockie movies, but is it possible? Could it be true that you actually have unlimited abilities, and that you could learn a complete Kung Fu system within a couple of months?

    The mind has vast and unlimited potential, you know, and that means that you have infinite abilities. The trick of course, is to figure out a Kung Fu program that loads into your mind in a way that your mind won't reject it. The trick is to find a softwa ...

  • 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 ...

  • How Wudan Masters Enter The Cosmic Mind!
    By: Al Case | - There is an ancient martial arts concept, that when the student is ready the master will appear. Sounds like a great deal, eh? You get so good that some ancient master pops out of the woodwork and reveals the Secrets of the Golden Scroll!

    The truth of what happens, however is not quite as it sounds. In fact, the truth of the matter is an oddity that is hard tobelieve. Let me tell you what really happens.

    In the early seventies I was sitting on a cinder block in my back ...

  • How I Used Karate To Remove Myself From My Body!
    By: Al Case | - Shade of the Twilight Zone, burn a mystic for Christ, we are about to get out of our bodies. Oooo, floating motes of intelligence, able to waft invisible into bank vaults and bedrooms everywhere! And it is all going to happen through a commonplace martial arts exercise, common in systems of Karate and Kung Fu, and especially wudan arts.

    If you can lower the volume of the spooky music for a moment, I'll explain. The out of body experience I am talking about is possible through Horse ...

  • The Secret Of Using Matrix Martial Arts To Read Minds!
    By: Al Case | - There are times in life when it seems as if you have read someones mind. Maybe you just blurt out the same sentence at the same time, or have the same thought on a place to eat. Sometimes, however, it is as if you have looked into somebodys actual thought process and know what they are thinking.

    The martial arts enhance this ability, and a good martial art does it in a quite speedy manner. Indeed, if you aren't effectively reading minds after a couple of years, there is probably som ...

    By: Al Case | - If you are into the Martial Arts just to knock people down, to beer over the latest UFC results, this article is not for you. If, however, you think the martial arts are a vehicle to become not just physically and mentally stronger, but maybe even enable you to evolve and grow spiritually, then this is the article for you. This is a straightforward and logical look at the three levels of evolution available through the martial arts.

    The first step of the martial arts is the body lev ...

  • The Real Power Of The Martial Arts Revealed!
    By: Al Case | - Everybody wants power! They want to be strong, able to jump in the mixed martial arts ring and toss around an attacker like a rag doll. The problem is that nobody knows what power really is.

    Everybody confuses this concept of power with big muscles, or strength, or other things. But power has nothing to do with strength or muscles. The truth of the matter is that Power has to do with stabilizing the motor that is your body.

    A motor is two terminals between which there i ...

  • Learning The Martial Arts Ten Times Faster!
    By: Al Case | - It took me seven years to get my black belt in Karate, but it only took my instructor two and one half years to get his black belt. I always wondered at this discrepancy, but it wasn't until I began to take apart martial arts systems that I understood why. It turns out that there are several reasons why it takes people longer and longer to get their black belts, and to truly learn anything in the martial arts.

    When I took apart the system I had been taught I found there were two sys ...

  • Enlightenment, Zen, And The Martial Arts!
    By: Al Case | - The martial arts have long been held up as a vehicle for enlightenment. Indeed, this is the goal at the end of the path of The True Art. This article is about why this is so, and to enable the reader to reach the end of that path all the sooner.

    Enlightenment is when light shines forth from the individual. With that light the enlightened being views the world differently. His perceptions are heightened, and he has a superior viewpoint.

  • Chi Mastery Through Coordinated Body Motion In Kung Fu!
    By: Al Case | - I am going to tell you the truth about this thing called Chi in this article. It is an easy truth, but you are going to have to give up all your mysticism. No matter if you study wudan or Shaolin, you are going to have to think logically and actually change the way you have been thinking.

    In the first place, this mysterious thing we have been calling chi is nothing more than a catch basket. Don't get me wrong, chi is real, chi exists and can be used, but everybody confuses it by cal ...

  • The Secret Of Matrix Martial Arts And Real Intelligence
    By: Al Case | - It is a proven fact that Matrix Martial Arts raises intelligence. It is a proven fact that when one matrixes his art, be it shotokan or aikido or that rare form of wudan Tai chi chuan, the art becomes better, and the person becomes more intuitive, and his intelligence goes up. What is not so obvious is why this is so.

    Intelligence is measured in schools through various tests. What these tests do, however, is tell you how full your memory is. What these tests do is evaluate how good ...

  • Combining Martial Arts Like Wing Chun And Aikido
    By: Al Case | - Most martial arts don't fit together easily. You take the circular hands of Chinese kenpo Karate and try to put them atop the linear stances of Japanese shotokan, and you are going to get an uncoordinated mish mash. Or, the quick and slick jabs of boxing might fit with wing chun, but the round house power punches don't fit at all.

    And, of course, there are arts that do fit together. You can put aikido together with pa kua chang, but it is going to take discipline and logic to catego ...

  • Four Reasons To Teach The Martial Arts
    By: Al Case | - People are always impressed when they find out that I am a martial arts instructor. Unfortunately, I do not really care about impressing people. This is a cruel trap, because if they are impressed enough I can teach them, but I don't really care to impress them.

    I remember when I first began the martial arts, this was a long time ago, I was impressed by these quick moving ninjas in pajamas, but what kept me going was that they talked to me. I mean, they were so tough, and yet they t ...

  • Five Karate Freestyle Concepts That Win Every Fight!
    By: Al Case | - Freestyle, whether it is the brute force of the UFC fighter, or the well guided darts of traditional karate, is a staple of martial arts training. A black belt is not a black belt, after all, unless he can defend himself using techniques of freestyle. Even in the MMA, a good base of classical karate freestyle goes a long way towards educating a fighter to basic ring concepts.

    That all said, I should caution the reader that one should be well versed in form if he wishes to make the f ...

  • Tai Chi Chuan Instructor Has Not Had A Lesson In Tai Chi!
    By: Al Case | - This is going to be the oddest article on tai chi you have ever read. I've never had a lesson in the art of Tai Chi Chuan, you see, but my tai chi is the best. I don't mean to be self serving, but let us see if you can argue with me after you have read how I came up with my tai chi.

    I began my study of tai chi with a book, Lee Ying Arng Modified Tai Chi for Health. I spent hours a night memorizing the form, trying to figure out the applications, trying to figure out what it all mean ...

  • The Natural Progression From Hard To Soft
    By: Al Case | - The concepts of yang to yin, hard to soft, Shaolin to Wudan, striking to grappling have been with us a long time. Many people have compared the argument to the yin yang turning over and over. In the end, however, there is no contest between the two principles, merely a progression, an evolution if you will, of art within individual.

  • 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 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 ...

  • The Secret Of Matrixing Technology In The Martial Arts
    By: Al Case | - There is a tremendous amount of interest in what Matrixing Technology is. It is pretty obvious that Matrixing is going to be the next phenomena in the martial arts. It is pretty obvious that Matrixing is going to sweep the world and provide transformation in the eastern arts.

    To explain why this is going to happen, let me say a couple of things. The first is that Matrixing does not make any martial art wrong, it makes every single art it touches better. The second is that the purpos ...

    The old guy, having studied the martial arts for a number of years, knew how to deliver a bit of intention into his fist.

  • 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 ...
