The boy sits in front of his laptop, inspecting karate fighting on youtube, googling kung vs karate, and generally perusing the many types of martial arts…online martial arts. Many think he is trapped in a virtual prison, but this couldn’t be further from the truth. Something is about to happen that will enlighten mankind, and change the world forever.

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.

Three Things You Need To Do To Learn From Martial Arts DVDs

July 20, 2010 by

Some people might not want you to know this, but it is quick and easy to learn good karate or kenpo, or whatever art you wish to learn, from Martial Arts DVDs. You can learn hard core self defense, fighting taekwondo, classical gung fu fighting techniques. You can learn virtually any art there is, and there are judo dvds, taekwondo DVDs, you can even look into martial arts DVD rental!

Before you buy that Kung Fu training DVD, however, and start doing the Chuck Lidell all over the place, there are three things that you need to concern yourself with. It really is crucial, and how well you do will depend upon these three things. Indeed, without doing these three things you might just as well forget about your martial arts DVD training.

The first thing you have to do, and this is incredibly basic, is you need a place to study. Even if you don’t have a personal Shotokan training hall, or a taekwondo dojang, or a Kung Fu kwoon, you must conduct yourself as if you do. You have to select a location in which to train and really make it look like a fighting dojo.

You need to clear out the mess, not just pile it in the corners, because you are going to want to hang shiny kung fu weapons on the walls. You are going to have to check the stability of the rafters, because you are going to want to hang a kicking bag and not knock down the ceiling! You are going to want about 15 by 15 of good condition floor, because you want to be able to execute Choy Lay Fut patterns or concentrate on your shotokan karate kata DVD without running into objects or stepping on anything.

The second thing you will need to have is a good slice of time. I know this sounds silly, but industry survives, people learn things in school, everything on the planet runs by being in the right place at the correct time. So you are going to need to set aside a couple of hours on regular days, whenever you plan to train, and you are going to have to never miss an appointment!

Your wife wants you to take her to the store…no! The kids are going to have to entertain themselves. And turn that darn cellphone ringer off!

Now, you have the time and the location, and one would assume you have the best martial arts video training tape you could get (my favorite is Matrix Karate…it was inexpensive, but the information on it was worth ten DVDs), and you must not forget…you need a partner! You need a person who is willing to enjoy the sweat and bruises, put in the effort, make the time slot, and wants to have a ball! In a way, your martial arts training partner is the most critical item of all, because without a fellow student to practice your kung fu techniques on it just won’t really work!

Now, you know what you have to do, and I want to say one thing: past the cost of cleaning your garage and a few Parker Kenpo videos, this is virtually free martial arts training. You go at your own pace, no one to jack you up or slow you down. And that’s my recommendation for how to learn from Martial Arts DVDs.

How Instructors Can Severely Improve their Martial Arts Abilities!

April 1, 2010 by  
Filed under Fitness

One of the most shocking things in the martial arts is how instructors don’t do advanced training. By this I mean, after a certain amount of training, they never get any more instruction for themselves. The idea here is that they know everything, and all they have to do now is polish it, perfect it, and time will be their teacher.

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.

Matrix Martial Arts Evolves an Extreme Learning Method

December 26, 2009 by

It is an unfortunate truth that the martial arts are taught by what I call the Stringular Method. This method is one of the base methods of learning, and actually not much more than Monkey see monkey do. This method is so slow that it takes years to transmit data from teacher to student, yet it is used in every martial arts, from karate to kung fu.

To understand the impact of what I have just written, we must define the types of learning, and put them in a proper order. To do this will enable a student to learn faster. Ultimately, there are other things to be considered, but this factor, the methodology employed, is of vital importance.

The first method I call The Simple Datum Method. An animal is hungry, sees a peach, eats the peach, inputs data as to the future and proper dispensation of peaches. Sadly, many people are held to this level throughout the third world countries of the world.

The second method I call Stringular, and it is the memorization of random strings of data. This is the method by which children are taught to think in countries that do not have methods of education. This is the method used in the martial arts, and it is, by and large, nothing more than Monkey See Monkey Do.

The third category of learning I have called the Mosaic Method, and this is the method used to achieve enlightenment, such as it is. Simply, a person memorizes enough random strings of data to perceive a mental image. The image may be all messed in a variety of incredible ways, but it has been filled in enough for the person to envision, and thus he actually learns.

The fourth category of learning I have called it The Linear Method. The Linear Method utilizes the memorization of strings of logical data, and it was used to instruct children in modern society up to recent times. Unfortunately, the method, even when it proved workable, ended with children, and advanced methods of learning were never developed.

The fifth method I call Matrixing. In this method the data is linear, and the linearity is held to until a mosaic, unslanted, skewed or tainted, is arrived at. This is an amazingly efficient method of teaching, and people, once they experience Matrixing, begin to input by strings of logical mosaics, or matrices.

Animal to child to adult, data to lines of information to streams of concepts, the learning methods escalate. There are many ways to look at the implications of what I have discovered. The most important thing, however, is that the profound and vastly enlightening effects of Matrixing are best achieved through a study of the martial arts, of Matrix Martial Arts.

Al Case has studied martial arts 4O+ years. A writer for the martial arts magazines, he wrote the column Case Histories in Inside Karate. He is the originator of Matrixing Technology, which method increases speed of learning in the martial arts. You will start to learn faster just by reading his free ebook, which is available at Monster Martial Arts.

How Kung Fu was Murdered by the PRC

How would you like to learn Jujitsu from Queen Elizabeth? Or maybe a good solid class in Shorin ryu Karate from William J. Clinton? No…well, how about, I\’ve got it…Hung Gar Shaolin Kung Fu as taught by Nancy Pelosi!

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.
