My Knife Review

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 article. The body is a machine, north and south pole, and the ability to spin energy within it, and this is the chi phenomena. Unfortunately, there is so much confusion, and people are locked into certain ways of thinking 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 in a motor which slides a linear extension. In karate the hips rotate and drive the limbs, which, because the elbow (knee), 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 a schematic of a cam and see how it resembles an arm or leg.

This concept of straight lines being delivered through circularity becomes more apparent through kung fu chi based systems. Classic shaolin has jumps and whirls and locks onto the earth which perfectly illustrate the concept. Unfortunately, the basics in kung fu aren’t sufficient to raise but a rare person to a more evolved level, and Karate doesn’t develop itself as a circular system…the love of power (as false as it is) corrupts, you see.

The easiest art in which to see this circular flux of energy as the manifestation of proper machine/body 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 necessary 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 like I’m blowing words, but I am just trying to get my point across with enough specific verbiage.

Now, the best system for power internal martial arts style, is pa kua chang. The whole darn thing is an energy flux, though one must realize that the purpose of walking the circle is to ground your each and every step, and to keep the machine functioning even while in motion. Get that notion, and even the confusions 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.
