Online Martial Arts Upsets Society…Something is About to Happen!
Consider what the boy at the computer is really doing. He is engaged in storing up energy. Yes, there is a certain parasitic back and forth in this energy thing, but he is getting more than he is giving.
The watching of the fight causes muscles to twitch, installs synaptic responses that enervate the boy. The exhilaration of winning and losing causes the whole nervous system to move into a state of excitation. Most important, the images imprinted on the brain are an very personal tutorial.
Why do you think they call it programming? The programming is not in the computer, except in the driest of senses. The real programming is happening in the boy.
Excessive knowledge is being tamped into his brain. He starts to know about all manner of subjects, and his education explodes. He begins to mull over such things as ninjitsu, MMA, Tai Chi Chuan, and more.
The visions of Gung Fu movements to be implemented becomes instilled in him. Within his psyche are the seeds to handle all manner of confrontation, physical and otherwise. The next cycle of humanity is about to open its eyes.
This has already happened in history. It happened when mankind swarmed into the cities during the industrial revolution. When mankind released his energy at the end of that industrial upheaval the world was changed.
It happened when mankind discovered television sets, and then exploded into the world with all manner of new concepts. It happened when mankind invented computers, and the world became a virtual conception of unlimited design. The same upheaval of energy and experience is about to happen with online martial arts, when the boy pushes back his chair and goes to explore what he has learned…life will never be the same.
I’m sorry, but if you Mouse to Monster Martial Arts your life will never be the same.
Al Case Wins Award For Best Martial Arts Writer Of All Time!
August 3, 2010 by Allen Ford Cole

Among the areas the Monster Board of Directors considered in the selection process are ‘most martial arts training manuals written,’ ‘most articles written,’ and even ‘most martial arts oriented novels penned.’ Also evaluated was the large body of martial art video work Al has produced. All of this work has been put forth over a career spanning more than 40 years.
Al wrote his first training manual in 1967 when the notes he was keeping were ‘borrowed’ in order to make his Chinese Kenpo school’s first training manual. Over the years Al developed martial arts training books for every art he was involved with. This ‘obsession,’ as he jokingly refers to it, has resulted in probably a hundred unique training manuals.
Al began writing articles in 1981 and was quickly published by Inside Karate, arguably the best karate magazine ever published. Over the years he wrote nearly three dozen articles, and a column (Case Histories). Since the advent of the digital era Al has published nearly 300 articles on the net.
Of particular note is his column, Case Histories. Case Histories was published in Inside Karate for just over four years, and was always a reader favorite. Readers particularly appreciated the unique viewpoint he provided, always presented in humorous and satirical overtones.
What most martial artists don’t know is that Al has inked over 20 novels, and one will invariably find his novels rich with a sub theme of martial arts profoundness. His fight scenes, based on over 4 decades of intense martial practice, are among the best ever inked. These novels have, up to this time, been available on a very limited basis, but that may change as Al’s novel, Small in the Saddle, is currently being considered for printing.
As was earlier noted, the award was based not just on sheer quantity of work, but quality. Al is the founder of Matrixing Technology and Neutronics. Matrixing enables an artist to break down and understand his art to a depth never before realized on this planet. Neutronics has resulted in the first and only totally martial arts oriented religion.
The award was announced earlier this week by the Monster Board of Directors. In a statement they said, “We have undoubtedly come up with the most deserving person for this award, and we look forward to more of his unique work. Monster was established in 2007, and has sold thousands of martial arts books and video courses.
Books and DVD Courses by Al Case include such titles as Five Army Tai Ch iChuan, Matrix Aikido, and Evolution of an Art. Interested people should drop by Monster Martial Arts. 1
How Instructors Can Severely Improve their Martial Arts Abilities!
The idea, of course, is silly. Yes, time will improve you, but what will improve you faster is getting more data. Imagine a computer which never gets new data, and you will understand what I mean.
So you need more data if you are going to become improved, and you need to make mental connections with other arts. For instance, if you’ve got a black belt in Tae Kwon Do, a course in Aikido is going to open your mind up. At the end of every Tae Kwon Do technique, once you understand what Aikido really is, you can make additional techniques.
And, if you’ve got some good hard Shaolin Gung Fu, the next step is exploring the Wudan, or internal schools of gung fu. Aside from improving your viewpoint of the martial arts, you now have more to offer students and prospective students. This is going to result in better quality of instruction, and more fun all around.
Now, let’s say you don’t have access to an aikido school, or a Wudan school, what do you do? Well, you read the magazines and the books, and this goes a long way. But the real key to improvement is in DVD courses.
You can pick up a course on an entire art, sometimes for as little as ten bucks a DVD, and you can lay on your couch and get up and practice to your hearts content. I used to buy so many arts at my supply store the owner gave me an automatic, good customer, ten per cent discount. And I would spend my late evenings and weekends analyzing and dissecting new arts until I had them totally cold.
When I walked into my kung fu school on a Monday morning, I always had a kettle full of great ideas. Students were always wondering how I cam up with so many great ideas, and they were always blown out by the twists and interpretations I could give the same old same old forms and techniques. I tell ya, when people were bowing to me, they were bowing to superior knowledge by disk, and that can happen to any instructor!
Now, when you pick out a Martial Arts DVD course, make sure it deals with an entire art, and not just an overview, an overview is nothing more than icing, it’s not the cake, there is rarely any meat to this kind of DVD. And, make sure you pick up a new art/course every month, you need to make a project out of this, and not a whim. Martial Arts DVDs are one of the best investments that I know of, I tell you, if you are an instructor, it is imperative that you keep improving yourself, and DVDs are a blast to do.
Al Case has studied more than 21 Fighting Disciplines in depth. He has packaged these arts in intense DVD courses such as the Shaolin Butterfly and Butterfly Pa Kua Chang. Drop by Monster Martial Arts for a sample and a free ebook.
How Kung Fu was Murdered by the PRC
You may think my humor is a little sad, but there is a dark underbelly to all this. When the government goes into private business, you see, it tends to destroy, corrupt and confound that business. And I am talking any business by any government.
Kung Fu, to name one example, been around for thousands of years, has been spreading long life, health, good physical conditioning, and some of the best darned self-defense imaginable. Then along came Chairman Mao, and Kung Fu was put to the torch. The method utilized for the destruction of the one of the greatest arts the world has ever known was called The Cultural Revolution.
During the Cultural Revolution Mao decided to cure society of elements that he deemed dangerous to that society. Thus, the population was carted off and murdered, 70,000,000 strong. If you were bright of mind, had any talent, or stood out in any manner, you were murdered.
If you were a school teacher, wore glasses, or had written a book, you were dead. If you spoke against communism or played the violin, you were dead. If you knew Kung Fu, you were dead.
Once the Revolution was over, the country began to rebuild, in the image of Chairman Mao. Funny thing, as China tried to catch up with a world that was still possessed of talent and intelligence, it discovered that there was money to be made in this thing called Kung Fu. Unfortunately, they had murdered Kung Fu.
So, what does a government do when it has killed off an entire art form, and then found that it needs that art form? Simple, you gather together a bunch of coaches and have them make up some Kung Fu. So they brought together some coaches, the ones who hadn\’t known enough Kung Fu to be carted off and killed during the revolution, read any manuals that survived the book burnings, and made up some Kung Fu!
And they were intent on making sure that the Kung Fu didn\’t have anything harmful in it. You don\’t want people able to actually the thing for self defense. Heck, you don\’t want them having a real Great Revolution!
Al Case has practiced martial arts for 4O+ years. He has written hundreds of articles and had his own column in Inside Karate. He has developed the science of Matrixing, which enables an artist to de-corrupt his art and return it to original workability. You can get a free ebook about his method at Monster Martial Arts.
