The Last But Most Important Step Of The Martial Arts

There are only three levels when it comes to mankinds evolution. These levels are precis and exact, but are not understandable in todays martial arts. When you Matrix the martial arts, however, even specific arts, like Tae Kwon Do or Jujitsu, then your evolutionary path opens up before you.

The first step is nothing more than learning how to survive in the world. We are born, and our parents educate us and help us, but at some point we all must enter into the survival jungle. Feeding and clothing our bodies, finding out what we really want to do, surviving.

Interestingly, many of our problems have to do with our fellow man. It is not just the struggle for survival of the body, but how to get along with a society which, lets face it, is a little cuckoo. If we survive the jungle, however, if we do not jump off a cliff or hang ourselves, then we become sane, though this is a relative state.

The Secret Of How To Make Your Fist Law Into Power Kenpo!

You can make your system of Chinese Karate into Power Kenpo fairly easily. Of course, you’re going to have to take a stand against the old school boys, but this isn’t always bad. In fact, if you do make your martial art into a Power Kenpo system, you will be following the footsteps of Ed Parker more closely than the old school boys.

The concept of Power in the Fist Law art is something I made up many decades ago. It actually grew from an incident in 1968 in which I asked my instructor to take a look at a kata I had been polishing. My instructor stepped on to the mat and I took a position and started moving.

The form was actually out of a series of books on Japanese Karate, and the name was Heian Five. It is a traditional form, with solid stance and large, significant movements. As such, it seems to stand opposed to the fast whirling arms of Parker art.

How I Used Karate to Get Out of My Body!

Posted in Uncategorized on March 5th, 2010 by Al Case – Be the first to comment

Control the horizontal and the vertical, burn a mystic for Christ, we are about to get out of our bodies. Oooo, floating motes of intelligence, able to waft invisible into bedrooms and bank vaults everywhere! And it is all going to happen through an ordinary martial arts drill, 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 meditation, what we used to call Kima Chasie. In this article I am going to tell you exactly how to do that exercise, and what is going to happen

Back in the early seventies I was working on my black belt, and I was frustrated with this horse meditation thing. We would stand in the horse stance, one hand in a high block, the other hand in a horizontal, hooked back beak hand. We would concentrate out awareness on our clenched fingertips until our legs shook and sweat burst forth upon our innocent foreheads.

The Effect of the Lensmen on Martial Arts

Posted in Sports on January 4th, 2010 by Al Case – Be the first to comment

Many of the martial arts, like karate are fiction. Slam somebody on the nose with a palm and bone shards will spear into his brain and kill him, except there isn’t any bone in the nose, its all cartilage. And all those old legends, a lot of them are good for washing the hog, if you have a willing hog.

But, there is a certain science that has proven true in the martial arts. This is the science of how to use geometrical energy potentials. I discovered this field while reading a series of books called the Lensmen Series.

I suppose the first time it hit me was when the author, E. E. Smith, described people fighting on the hull of a space ship. They were hooking their feet under hand grips so they would not fly into space from the reverse force of their strikes. They were anchoring themselves so they could apply force, and not be the effect of their own force.
