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.

New Technology Destroys Kung Fu!
[I:http://www.aikido-judo-karate.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/AlCase9.jpg]I saw the beginning of this over forty years ago while studying Kenpo Karate/Kung Fu, and it is still going on. In fact, it is worse than ever, and corrupts the majority of arts to a great degree. I will give you a couple of examples, and hopefully you can see to repairing the martial art that you study.
I was studying Ed Parker Kenpo Karate, and we began using pads. At first, the pads were only used to help fellows with knee problems, or that sort of thing, but the assortment of pads quickly grew. Soon pads were used on the shins for bruises, on the feet, on the shins, on the elbows and wrists, and so on.
Suddenly, people figured out that there was money in this padding thing. School owners realized that selling pads upped the revenue, and began pushing them to every student for every class. The selling of protective devices became a million dollar business that infected every school.
Now, you might be wondering why this is so bad. We’re just protecting little Johnny, right? But this is part of the school owner propaganda, and part of the selling gimmick.
When you wear pads you think your punches aren’t going to cause enough damage, and so you begin punching harder. Thus, the protective gear actually encourages less control and more violence. When you think about it, if you have to be aware and responsible so that you don’t get hurt, you start to control yourself and learn the true art.
The true martial art has to do with learning how to control yourself, you see. If you learn how to control your actions, then you start learning about yourself, and this makes you a better individual, on and off the matt. If you think you have to punch somebody harder and harder to make it work, then the people you fight are going to be more in danger.
Now, I saw this type of thought process infect the martial arts world back in the sixties. I also saw the introduction of fake weapons, so that people wouldn’t hurt themselves, which also decreases the need for learning control, and for the true appreciation of one’s own art. And, now people must wear mouthpieces, chest protectors, cups, and whatever else they can be scared or forced into buying.
The people who invented the martial arts, who passed them down through the generations, did not use such things, and I suspect they would have laughed at them. Bear in mind that I am not asking people to put themselves at risk, I am asking that people practice martial arts with no accoutrements, so that they can take responsibility for what they do, and not be cushioned against learning about themselves. Whether you study Tae Kwon Do, Kung Fu, traditional Karate, or whatever, you should follow Ed Parker’s advice…’I come to you with empty hands.
