Fitness For Sure

To my knowledge, no one in the history of the martial arts has asked this question. No one has ever considered the Martial arts as one big puzzle. No one has ever taken the time to assemble the puzzle and see what the martial arts really are.

When I asked the question and, eventually, solved the puzzle, I was left with a rather astounding concept. I discovered that fabulous True Art that people talk about but never realize. I also found out why people never discover the True Art.

Interestingly, the True Art depends on hard core physics. Physics is at the heart of understanding all motion in this universe. Physics is the single thing that one must understand if they are to realize the True Art.

At first, like every other student, I availed myself of magazines and books, and I studied every art I came in contact with. I saw movies, ordered libraries of video tapes, and I had deep discussions with every martial artist I came in contact with. The digital age made my activities even larger, and i began sample and study arts across the whole planet.

One day I decided to make a record of all the techniques I had learned over the years. These were recorded on the backs of business cards, and I spread them across the living room of my house. The cards numbered in the thousands, and they covered every art and style I had studied.

The last thing I did was sort through them and put them in groups. I tried sorting them by specific attacks, by kick or fist or weapon or whatever. I tried sorting them by art, soft or hard, which country they came from, and whatever other grouping I could figure out.

Duplicate techniques became obvious, and I began discarding them. Poser techniques, those that require the attacker to wait for the defender to execute the technique, were the next to be thrown away. The stacks of cards became smaller, and became more easily managed. Forty was the number of cards, and specific techniques, that I wound up with.

Thats all the martial arts are, you know, forty techniques. Every other technique in every other art is, in some manner or other, nothing more than a copycat of one of the forty techniques. But the real blessing wasnt just that I came up with the source forty techniques of the Martial Arts, the real blessing was that I began to see threads of commonality that no one else had ever seen.

So the puzzle of the martial arts can be solved. And that puzzle, once you really see the completed thing, is sheerly astounding. Just think, only forty techniques, and you can enter the golden age of the martial arts. Forty techniques, and the puzzle can be yours.
