There is none to equal him on earth—Shaolin Kung Fu

I say Shaolin Kung Fu, but we could be talking Classical Karate, Aikido, Krav Maga, or whatever. You see Neutronics is the science behind the martial arts. Any martial art. The philosophy behind Neutronics is summed up in one sentence…For something to be true the opposite must also be true. This could take into account [...]

“International Nexus Ventures”, the venture capitalists, have neither confirmed nor denied rumors of an imminent bid for its controlling interest in Chinese gold miner, Sino Shaolin Mining. Speculation continues to center on overtures apparently made by a larger gold miner supposedly interested in Sino Shaolin’s recently revealed crusher and screening technology that significantly improves the [...]

It was Michael Tyson’s second day at our Kung-Fu school and I took a hard look at him. He was built like King Kong, was as hairy as King Kong, sported Mr. T’s hairstyle, but he had Oprah Winfrey’s puckered lips and Michael Jackson’s kohl-lined eyes. This made me a wee bit suspicious of his [...]

This secret trick is actually inside karate fighting systems, as well as kung fu fighting systems, or just about any martial art. This is because it is based on a basic motion of the arms. This basic motion, once one sees how it works, will give rise to virtually all the techniques of the martial [...]

By the start of the 17th century there was great turmoil
brewing in the country and there was also unrest between
the 5 elders at Shaolin.

  There are only eight attacks. Thousands of techniques, but only eight attacks. You can figure them out easy enough.  Here’s three to start you out: Sword catcher, club catcher, fist catcher… Go on, figure the other five out.   The idea is that if somebody is holding a weapon, that’s what they’ll attack with, [...]

Thug Catcher deals with a simple attack from the rear. Somebody attacks, and you feel it, and move in front of it. Simple. Well, maybe not simple until you understand that you must not have your awareness aimed behind you, rather, you must be able to stop worrying about what is behind you and focus [...]

One day my son came to me and said, ‘Dad, I think I want to learn Karate. Now this gladdened my heart. Over thrity years of martial arts at the time, and I had never forced my sons to do the art. I had encouraged them, talked to them about the benefits, but never forced [...]

To the best of my understanding, nobody has considered the martial arts as a puzzle. No one has ever thought of the Martial arts as a mystery to be solved. Nobody has ever assembled the puzzle to see what the martial arts actually are.   When the question presented itself to me, and I solved [...]

T At the heart of the martial arts, though I have never seen nor heard of it discussed, is the ability to make beams. I say beams, and I include tractor or pressor or any other kind of beam. A beam refers to a line, though it need not be a line, of energy that [...]

The common attitude towards the martial arts is that they are a rite of passage. Rite of passage is a common concept amongst societies. But, modern society doesn’t really need rite of passage, rather, it needs a logical approach to make the martial arts easier to learn and more effective. This, of course, means that [...]

The first thing you are going to have to learn is that it doesn’t take a lifetime to learn an art such as Tai Chi Chuan or Pa Kua Chang or Aikido. Look, the army makes soldiers in under six months, and that includes some pretty high tech stuff! And, when you add up the [...]

I know, the question is a bit bogus, as one should be comparing arts such as Karate and Aikido merely so as to make them compliment each other. Thus, with that statement made, let us discuss how the fist should wiggle into the glove. No pow and bam, just an honest, up front viewpoint for [...]

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 E. E. Smith, the author, described [...]
