It isnt long, after a person starts his study in the martial arts, that the student begins thinking about The True Art. At first, he is enamored by the concept, for this is like seeking the holy grail, and he is compelled to seek. As time passes, however, he becomes grizzled in his outlook, worn, jaded even, as the holy grail eludes him.
The reason for this disillusionment is that there have not been any clear cut datums concerning what The True Art is. Further, without definition, the seeking becomes a vapid back and forth wandering without any real hope of the endeavor succeeding. The purpose of this article, then, is to define exactly what The True Art is.
The body is a machine, to seek The True Art one must balance the machine until it begins to hum and gives up the wobble. If one finds The Hum, then one is awarded with a long life, fine health, and all sorts of abilities, some of which border on the mystical. There are four specific factors that will enable the student to find and live The True Art.
The first factor one must concentrate upon is relaxation. One must relax, and give up inner tension and the distractions of the mind and false goals. This is the only way to truly dedicate the body and enable oneself to achieve The True Art.
The second factor is breathing. Tied closely to relaxation, breathing feeds the machine, relaxes it, and is of extreme importance when it comes to synchronizing body movements. A rather useful oversimplification of this factor would be that one breathes out when the body expands, and in when the body contracts.
The third factor one must concentrate upon is sinking ones weight to the ground. Sinking the weight will stabilize the machine and enable it to create energy efficiently. A thorough study should be conducted concerning which leg(s) one is grounding with and alignment of the body.
The fourth factor is that one must study the universe, through the forms and such, for potential dichotomy. Truth, the whole universe, and all its parts are a dichotomy. Understanding this through the study of body discipline liberates and enlightens a student to his maximum potential.
There are other items which should be covered when studying The True Martial Art. This article, simple as it is, will begin the procedure. I recommend that one study the physics of electronics, machinery, and the like to complete the process. - 30300
