While MMA is popular, there are problems with it. Let's be honest, while some fellow is using Jujitsu, he is rolling around and vulnerable to an attack from his opponents friends. Not to mention that it is not always the most intelligent thing to roll around on the ground with some fellow who has a knife or broken bottle.
I know I have offended some stylists out there, but these are questions that you cannot run away from. After all, the ring looks ferocious, but biting is a problem on the street. And getting your fingers broken or your eyes gouged is always a possibility if you are trying to do some Brazilian Jujitsu on some fool.
No, it is better to keep a distance, be able to evade, manipulate, and even run. Yes, you have to watch what kind of a surface you are on, but mobility in warfare is extremely important. And talking mobility, we are talking something like Shotokan, or Shorin Ryu, or Kenpo.
The problem is that people have bought into the idea that ia person needs a life time, even several lifetimes, to learn good Kung Fu, like Shaolin or Mantis. But it doesn't require vast amounts of time. All you have to do is find a system which is built upon the core principles of the martial arts and then concentrate on those principles.
We are not talking about Bruce Lees Jeet Kune Do here, because we don't want a grab bag of sample all and take what you need. What we want are the actual core concepts behind the martial arts. We want the truth of such arts as Hung Gar or Choy Li Fut, or other classical styles.
The best way to do this is to learn how to Matrix what you are studying. When you matrix your martial art, be it Wado or Krav Maga, it will suddenly become logical and easy to understand. And, being logical, it will suddenly be ten times easier to learn.
And here's something most people don't understand, logic leads to prediction to intuition. Those sixth sense abilities of the martial arts are hard to find, but they don't need to be. Once you start matrixing your martial arts, and I don't care if it is tae kwon do or one of the Korean Kwans, your sixth sense abilities, your ability to understand and produce such things as chi kung, sometimes called gi gong, will start to blossom.
Really, what we are talking about here is bringing the martial arts into modern times. We are talking about evolution when we are talking about matrix martial arts. So, you can flog that mule, or you can ride the race horse that is Matrixing. - 30300
