Black Belt Yoga!
From Al Case at Matrix Martial Arts…
The difference between yoga and martial arts is quite interesting
but quite simple.
Yoga is ‘not moving’ meditation
Martial arts is moving meditation
Both use the body,
and studying both can be incredibly enlightening.
In yoga you assume a pose and put your awareness
through the body.
The focus is on flexibility,
there is much good health,
awareness grows.
All good stuff.
In martial arts you do a technique and put your awareness
through the body,
and through your partners body.
The focus is on self defense,
good health and…awareness.
So which awareness is better?
Of course it depends. but consider
a few of the following comparisons.
You won’t get bruises in yoga
you won’t learn to defend yourself
yoga analyzes energy flows in the body
martial arts analyzes energy flows outside the body
you’ll get more injuries in martial arts
injuries which yoga can help rehabilitate
you won’t be asked to ‘show your stuff’
at a party with yoga
There is always some idiot who wants you to
show your martial arts stuff at a party
Of course its sort of fun to practice your joint locks
on drunks at parties…but still…
yoga is great stuff, but you don’t get to wear a belt.
Martial Arts is always looking for the next belt,
if you’re into that.
There are pros and cons for both disciplines,
and you know what I’m going to say…
study both.
Grow awareness inside,
rehabilitate and get flexy,
and put that acquired mental focus to work
by applying it to martial arts.
Guaranteed,
the disciplines will aid each other.
Greatly
Now,
it is easier to get started in yoga.
Get a book,
a DVD,
do an online course.
Lots of freebies to get started.
There is one problem, however.
The advanced theories and knowledge
are severely lacking in yoga.
Most of the people teaching it
really don’t know
how the mind works,
where to put the attention,
and all sorts of stuff like that.
Everybody just monkey sees and monkey does.
It’s the same in martial arts,
but not as bad.
Anyway,
I suggest finding some free beginners stuff,
and supplementing it with
The ‘belts’
(levels of difficulty)
are accompanied by very simple but thorough
advices on what, exactly,
you are supposed to be doing in yoga.
Try it,
you’ll find your martial arts shining
with new awareness,
and your abilities will grow.
Furthermore,
nobody has ever done what I did here.
Everybody makes a sequences of yoga poses
based on what they like to do.
I put the poses in actual order of difficulty.
The republishing is going well,
I’ve included a short catalogue below.
Check out the various links.
They should work,
and eventually I’ll get them all in the websites.
and have a great work out!
