About the Martial Arts Encyclopedia!

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


From Al Case at Matrix Martial Arts…

As you may know

I have republished the five books

I refer to as the Martial Arts Encyclopedia.

I wrote them over a twenty year period.

I wrote them out of order,

though they are in the correct order as published.

PAN GAI NOON

I wanted to know where Karate came from

A fellow once told me

if you don’t know sanchin you don’t know karate.

I describe the two essential forms

Sanchin and Seisan

and describe the theory of technique

so that one understands how to evolve technique

out of the forms,

This was the introduction of X, Y and Z

in circular form to the techniques.

KANG DUK WON

That was the art I was trained in.

I wrote a book on it because

it was closer to the Okinawan karate,

having gone through the Korean route

instead of the Japanese.

The Japanese added several things

which are questionable.

Lower stances, higher kicks,

stylized forms and freestyle.

The art engendered intuition in me

and enlightened me.

KWON BUP

I wanted to know the truth of Kang Duk Won,

and saw that it was built of two arts,

the original KDW,

and my instructor’s art of Kwon Bup.

Was Kang Duk Won what had worked most in me?

Or Kwon Bup?

I separated the two arts to better understand this.

I discovered a linearity in the Kwon Bup

that was not in KDW.

I found the techniques more direct,

and more powerful.

If KDW was a hammer,

Kwon Bup was a point on the hammer.

OUTLAW KARATE

I wanted to combine KDW and KB.

I wanted a superior art that could be learned faster.

I also knew that Kenpo had lengthened

the time of training to black belt

to four and more years.

In the KDW people were learning in two years,

why should it take longer?

And there were stories of people

learning Karate in one year.

I wanted to make a black belt in one year.

I was able to take five out of six original students

to black belt in one year.

There was total power and in depth intuition.

I was beginning to use different training methods on the freestyle

to bring them along faster.

I began to appreciate how trust makes for faster learning.

I also saw that one doesn’t need contracts to keep a student.

If you give them the right data

at an adequate speed…it works better than a contract.

BUDDHA CRANE KARATE

I broke down what I had been teaching,

I aligned the methods with the ten lines of Ton Toi

I made a form that could be changed

to accommodate each line

similar to the Hsing i method.

This was my initial breakdown of the art

into a logic that was easy to remember

and therefore easier to learn.

It retained the workability of  my earlier arts.

It was my first attempt at arranging the moves

in logical order.

This was a precursor 

to the Boolean Truth Table I was eventually to use

to matrix any art.

Those are the five books that make up my ‘encyclopedia.

There is a little history,

but more important is that arrangement of techniques.

Which techniques were the same from art to art,

which were different?

How does theory morph into practical technique.

How does (did) the art change with the various evolutions.

What were the effects of various countries,

how do they blend together,

when do they overlap.

There is also the added bonus of seeing the mistakes I made.

A person who sees mistakes learns faster

than somebody who ‘does it right’ every time.

You can find these books on Amazon

simply type in the title,

(for instance, ‘Pan Gai Noon.’)

or type in the title and my name (al case)

(for instance ‘Kwon Bup Al Case.’

You can also find them on Barnes and Noble

and other sites.

You don’t have to spend five years on each art,

simply do the forms,

do the techniques,

then move on to the next art.

Specialize in what interests you

and put the rest aside.

Most important,

apply the lessons to whatever art you study.

No single art is totally right…

it is up to you to make your own art,

and to make that art right.

Now,

thanks for being students of the arts, and…

have a great work out!
