Three Steps To Making Deadly Martial Art Techniques

Everybody buys into the concept of Deadly Martial Arts Techniques

, but most schools don't deliver. Teaching Little Johnny, training for tournaments, these concepts take from the fighting arts. Interestingly, one need only understand the three stages of technique, or bunkai, and it doesn't matter whether you do karate or kenpo or taekwondo or whatever, and your art is going to become deadly.

You must come to grips with the basic idea and principle of what you are doing. Often there are a bunch of little tricks that need to be figured out, but they will come together in a single idea. This idea is presented in the kata, and it is why things like Karate kata or taekwondo poomse are actually incredibly vital to learning martial arts.

The form, you see, is a concept that strives to be as perfect as possible. You practice it without distractions and you attempt to make each technique you do as perfect as is possible. You try to do without things as reaction times, and you train your body to move as quickly and efficiently as possible.

The second thing you need to do is prctice the individual slices of the forms in bunkai, or combat tricks. You need to make the technique work through controlled resistance, you need to experience distraction. Most important, you need to understand what is going on when bodies collide with bodies.

The idea here is that you need to have somebody try to stop you from doing your technique. This enables you to deal with real live forces and flows, and go through the doors that will enable you to make a technique work, and to find all the 'what ifs' that will get in the way. This is perfection pushed to a new high; this is learning how to make the art work in spite of anything that might get in the way.

The third thing is to take your skills into the arena and make them work. Here your kenpo techniques may not work, in spite of everything Mr. Parker might say, and you are going to have to push through all resistance and make them work, in some fashion, anyway. Ultimately, as you hone these techniques and find the working parts, you are going to find the perfection available in such forms as sochin and bassai and even lowly kebon.

The thing you have to watch out for, in this process of making the art work, is coming to believe in violence as a solution. You must not allow the Joy of Combat, for that is a lie. You must, in spite of the chaotic nature of the art you study, hold to a calm, inner peace; you must control yourself until you find yourself.

The martial arts are a project of finding yourself through intense workouts, and through the seeking and isolating of perfection in every movement you do. Perfection is there, you know, but you have to pay a price. Deadly Martial Arts Techniques, you see, can only be bought by inner peace.
