Generation And Usage Of Martial Arts Chi Power Through The Circular Flux Of Energy
[I:http://www.aikido-judo-karate.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/AlCase6.jpg] I keep forgetting the fact, when I talk about Martial Arts Chi Power and such things, that I am in one room, and everybody else is in another room. I just wrote a piece on the liberation of energy through circular flux, and my emails and requests for the free matrixing ebook went through the roof. This is one of those things…’You mean people don’t know that?”
Look, let me set things up a little better for this piece. The body is a machine, north and south terminals, and the ability to turn energy within it, and this is the chi phenomena. Unfortunately, there is so much mystical bushwah, and people are locked into certain ways of thought concerning their bodies, that they miss this simplicity.
This idea, though misunderstood, is spread throughout the martial arts, and accounts for a variety of other occurrences, too. In karate chi development depends upon sinking a strong stance–you must bolt the motor down, you know–and analyze how to use circular motion in the snap of the hips, the turn of the wrist, and so on. The problem is that people keep insisting that Karate is a linear martial art when it isn’t.
Karate is linear like a cam; a cam is a rotating part which slides a linear extension in a machine. In karate the hips rotate and drive the arm, which, because the elbow, is not truly linear anyway, creates a complex of turning, rotating, spinning parts to make a punch (or block or kick or whatever) with. Look at an illustration of a cam and see how it resembles an arm or leg.
This concept of straight lines being delivered through round motion becomes more easily understood through kung fu chi based systems. Classic shaolin has jumps and whirls and locks onto the planet which perfectly illustrate the concept I am talking about. Unfortunately, the basics in kung fu aren’t detailed enough to raise but a rare person to a high level level, and Karate doesn’t develop itself as a circular method…the love of power (as false as it is) corrupts, you see.
The easiest art to see this circular flux of energy as the manifestation of proper machine theory is Tai Chi. Unfortunately, people have latched on to doing Tai Chi for the health and sensation reasoning, and people end up asking is Tai Chi a martial art, and missing the point of reality that is necessary to a proper martial art, and which changes a martial art into a machine based energy flux creator. I know, it sounds significant, but I am just trying to get my point across with enough specific verbiage.
Now, the best art for power internal martial arts style, is pa kua. The whole darn thing is an energy flux, though one must realize that the purpose of walking is to ground your each and every step, and to keep the machine running even while in motion. Get that concept, and even the mysteries of pa kua chang should resolve fairly easily.
Okay, that’s the skinny, Minny…you sink the weight and fix the body/machine and swirl the energy inside the body, much the same as you would swirl water inside a container. This has been done in virtually every martial art that has ever existed, though it has been made mystical and confusing. It really isn’t difficult, however, though if you really want to understand the notion of martial arts chi power you need to matrix your art, and matrix your body, then the stuff happens naturally and without much thought.

The Secret Of Making Chi The Right Way
[I:http://www.aikido-judo-karate.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/AlCase8.jpg]There is actually a good definition for Chi, one which explains away all the mysticism. The problem is that intrinsic energy has been a catch basket for anything and everything that people didn’t understand. The truth is that Chi responds very well to simple physics definitions.
When one considers the field of internal energy they must understand that there are several layers inherent within it. These layers actually exist in stages, and they follow certain rules and adhere to certain methods. To understand the potentials contained here one must consider that water is first ice, then water, then steam.
On the first level Chi is nothing more than a solid substance, it is the stuff which makes up things and bodies. That swivel thing you are sitting in, it is made of immutable and never ending chi. So is the stove and the computer screen and the VCR.
On the second level, the one most people are most familiar with, intrinsic energy is a liquid like type of energy. Root your stance, move your body in a way that promotes generation and circulation, and you can feel the chi moving through your body. Interestingly, this chi actually moves through the solidity of your body.
The body is solid, but there are degrees of solid. Consider the body a stove, and the arms pipes, and it is easy to follow, and even create, the rules of how to move Chi energy. The real trick, of course, lies with understanding the third level of internal energy.
The third level of chi is thought, and this is the stuff by which you move the energetical substance through your body. Thought is interesting stuff, because people believe it is sentences and words and such. Thought, however, is not words, it is the urge behind the words.
What effortless push of notion causes actual motion? What momentary impulse is behind all the symbolization that tries to describe intrinsic energy in a million different ways? What notion motivates us, from parasite to humanity?
To move energy through the body one must learn to consider the universe on progressively abstract levels. One must move the objects of reality with muscle in the beginning, and then progress to less effort and more intention, and finally utilize perceptions to the point where one can actually perceive the grunt or whim that actuates all motion in this universe. In the end, it is the effortless non-energy of perception that enables us to understand chi, and to move it by concept and notion, and this effortless, light method is the realm of excellent Tai Chi Chuan.

The Secret Of The Cruel Traps Of The Martial Arts And Fah Jing
[I:http://www.aikido-judo-karate.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/AlCase33.jpg]I’m going to tell you about Fah Jing, and Matrix Martial Arts, and what these things really mean, but to do so I have to rub your nose into one of the cruel traps of the martial arts. This cruel trap has caused misery to martial artists since before time, and it really is time to break out of the trap. It is time to find out what stops the learning of the martial arts, makes them difficult to understand, and even makes them ineffective.
The cruel trap I am describing is the lack of adequate language. This trap comes in two sections, yet is easily broken. The strength to pick up a dictionary, however, is more than many people can achieve.
Many martial arts instructors arrive in this country, and they don’t understand the language of the people. Thus, the students are trained to remember words which are poorly understood. Thus, the student must learn not just the surface meaning of a martial arts word, but what reality is beneath the surface of the word.
The second section, in this problem of languages, is that ancient languages do not describe a technology. But the martial arts are a technology. To learn what this idea means, let’s consider Fah Jing.
Fah Jing means explosive power. But where do you explode from, and how do you channel the energy, and what do you do with it? Simple practice will show you, but it takes ten times longer than it should, and it would take ten times shorter to understand if the language was adequate and scientific.
Picture the arm as a hollow tube. Take a firm stance and shift the tube so that energy traverses the length of the tube and impacts upon the far end. This is what Fahjing is.
Now explore the physics involved in this concept. What kind of relaxation is necessary to enable you to move the tube in the correct manner, so that energy traverses the length of the tube. How is the tube connected to the body, and how must you move the body so as to best and most efficiently move the tube?
When you get past the inadequate language, and the words that might mean something to an ancient culture, but which lack technological relativity, you will find that tai chi, and other arts, open up like the doors of heaven. It is physics, you see, that will enable you to learn and understand the mystical arts, and to truly delve deep into them. It is physics that we learn to apply when we Matrix Martial Arts.
