The Martial Arts Secret Of The Universe

There is a martial arts secret that enables one to rule over this universe

, and it is a great one. Of course, it takes the kind personality of a karate master to find it, and firm and unyielding discipline of a Kung Fu adept to figure it out. And a bit of excellent writing...as in this article.

When Joe Blow begins his study of the martial arts he is often just interested in one single thing: beating bad guys up. Well, maybe this is a little too simple, but there is a sufficient amount of truth in the statement. Simply, a good many people start studying karate or practicing Kung Fu because they have been bullied, have low self esteem, want to be able to stand up to people who have been picking on them, and that sort of thing.

So Joe Blow trains for a month, and finds that his enemies have miraculously melted away. People who were threatening to him are no longer a bother. He loves mocking up scenarios in his head of what would he do if somebody tried to punch him or kick him, or even come at him with a weapon.

The sad news is that with self confidence comes, for some, the end of their practice. No fear of being picked on, no reason to continue studying karate or kung fu or whatever. Perhaps these unlucky students were in the dojo for the wrong reason?

If Joe Blow was to continue studying the martial arts he would come to a place of silence in his own mind. He would arrive at a viewpoint that never moves. He would realize a position of no motion, no matter what motion was occurring around him.

Somebody throws a chair at Joe, follows it up with foot and a fist, pulls out a knife and...and the more frantic the motion gets, the less motion that happens inside Joe's head. It is like he is not moving, even as his body moves faster and faster. There is no motion inside his head, no emotion, nothing to distract him from the pure viewpoint of observing the world.

Once a person moves into this 'no motion' place inside their mind, the world becomes a pretty friendly place. Nothing shocks you, and everything gets pretty nice and cool. Heck, even the dogs and horsies want to be around you.

One must understand, however, that the purpose of the martial arts is not to beat up bad guys, though that can happen quite easily. No, the purpose of martial arts like kung fu or Karate is to understand how to handle motion until there is no motion you can't handle. This is the real martial arts secret enables one to rule over the universe.
