[I:http://anotherpeek.com/wp-content/uploads/AlCase0.jpg]It is an unfortunate fact that the martial arts are taught in the most inefficient manner possible. While the martial arts, done properly are a blessing and the most incredibly efficient method of combat on the planet, the method for their transmission is woefully inadequate. This incredibly slow method is called monkey see monkey do.

Your mind is a computer. When one feeds random data into the computer the result is corruption. Things you learn contradict other things you learn, and the result is slowed reaction times as you sort through the data, and inefficiency, and the extraction of actually incorrect data. And you thought that low block would protect your face?

One form of corruption is vested interest, simply, somebody stands to gain, and therefore messes up the data of the martial arts. For instance, there is a pro MMA fighter who, during the Ultimate Fighter TV show, gave the ludicrous advice of hitting somebody in the foot. The reason he gave this advice was because, and this he admitted later on the show, was because he might have to face one of these fighters some day, so he wasn’t going to tell them squat.

Corruption rears its ugly head in the matter of tournaments, the desire to win a trophy encourages one to follow rule that will inhibit ones ability to survive on the street. A fellow doesn’t bother learning to protect himself properly because the other fighter, according to the rules, isn’t supposed to be able to kick him there. When he is on the street however, that is the first place a lot of thugs will attack.

Tthe government telling you how to fight is one of the worst of the lot of corrupters. Korea tossed away the rather phenomenal Karate for this thing called Tae Kown Do, and China hired a bunch of physical education coaches to recreate kung fu, after they imprisoned and killed off its kung fu masters. At the heart of the martial arts in the United States are things like the AAU, Olympic committees, and so on, and what martial art do you think Obama is going to proscribe for you?

Medicine slants data, unfortunately, and become another great corrupter. Students learn how to great damage with a touch to a nerve center, but the student needs the ability to actually punch and survive in combat before he can go looking for fine, little nerve centers. And every school woefully neglects training a student to be able to absorb the actual impact of being struck, and are sold the idea that they can stop the heart, damage the kidney, and so on.

Probably the worst of the lot of corrupters in commercialism. How many mommies take their little Johnnies down to a karate school to learn to protect himself, and then shriek if their little Johnnie gets a cut lip or black eye? And what if the little Johnnie was actually taught something that worked, and then knocked the whole crap out of the school bully, what would the lawyers have to say about that?

The martial arts have been corrupted, and that is a fact. The good news is that there is a solution to this situation, and it is a solution that actually fixes all of the martial arts on planet earth. Without this solution, you might just as well be a monkey, corrupted and unable to break into the true blessings of the True Art.
