BODYBUILDING NUTRITION BASICS

I doubt whether most martial arts training halls, be they Goju Ryu or Mixed Martial Arts or Jujitsu or whatever, have ever had a crazy guy in their school like Mud Car. We called him Mud Car because that’s what his license plates on his automobile stated. That vehicle, more than just about anything else, told the story of Mud Car.

He had tied parachute webbing across the insides of his car because he felt that that material was best for holding his car together on the inside. He had fire extinguishers fastened to every surface on the inside of his car. He had a dial on his dashboard to give extra power to his tail lights, and he turned it whenever he faced away from the sun so that drivers behind him could see when he braked.

This was just the surface of it all, though. The most impressive thing that Mud Car did was commit to memory the times of all the stop lights in San Jose. He could travel across that large town without ever hitting a stop light.

Unfortunately, when it came to Karate, he was just as crazy. He couldn’t stretch, couldn’t control his body, and, because he had no control, it hurt to work with him. Just being around him you could feel the sparks in his mind shooting into the cosmos.

One day, in class, he interrupted the instructor to complain about a pain in his shin. “It doesn’t hurt, but it keeps bothering me, do you know how to make the pain in my shin go away?” My instructor looked at me with rage in his eyes, I suppose he didn’t want to look at Mud Car because he would murder him, and he said, “Hit your leg with a lead pipe…that’ll make the pain go away.”

I suppose the ability to drive the people around oneself crazy is the deciding factor in this matter of whether a person is crazy or not. At any rate, Mud Car was never promoted to Black Belt. He just didn’t have the maturity.

One day, however, a new instructor came to the school, and Mud Car was promoted to Black Belt within a month…and then he left the school. He had achieved his goal, and that was all he wanted, and the new instructor knew that was the best and most efficient way to get rid of Mud Car. Yet, I missed Mud Car.

He was nuts, but so is the guy who goes after you on the mean streets, so if you could last a session with Mud Car without getting hurt, you knew your art was working. Furthermore, there was a shift of standard here, for Mud Car had been promoted to black belt because he could drive people nuts, not because he was a competent martial artist. Finally, I think that is where the True Art started disappearing from the martial arts training halls of America…schools, even dojos like classical hung gar or Parker Kenpo or classical Aikido, did not administer soothing discipline to the insane, they just promoted them to get rid of them.

Interesting idea, eh? Sounds like one of those old Kung Fu movies, but is it possible? Could it be true that you actually have unlimited potential, and could learn a complete Kung Fu system within a couple of months?

The mind is unlimited, you know, and that means that you are unlimited. The trick of course, is to figure out a Kung Fu program that downloads into your mind with perfect sense and ease. The trick is to find a software program that really works, and that is actually designed to match your mind.

Most Martial Arts take a long time to learn, and there is a reason for this. Actually, there are many reasons. They all have to do with incorrect data, missing data, illogical data, and that sort of thing that crashes a computer.

First, you must realize that the martial arts are taught using ancient oral traditions. They are passed along by the use of songs and poetry. This is incredibly inefficient, and there is no telling how much data has been lost over the millennium.

Second thing to understand, you must realize that the martial arts are communicated by ‘monkey see monkey do.’ This is mimicry, which is the basic and easiest form of communication on the planet. It works, but does not allow for the interchange of ideas, which makes it totally inadequate for teaching Kung fu, Karate, Aikido, or any art you may wish to mention.

Third, you must realize that the martial arts are taught by having students memorize strings of random data. Memorization is totally inadequate, and often has nothing to do with the actual fact of learning. A xerox machine can’t think, it’s as simple as that.

So to learn a complete kung fu system, or to fix any martial art you might know, you must change the way you learn the martial arts, you must change the training methods you commonly use. You must have mimicry and memorization, but the material of the martial arts has to be arranged in the correct order. This is difficult to do, for people have been enraptured, and convinced, that the old ways of learning should not be changed.

In conclusion, the human mind is a perfect computer, but it is liable to that old rule of ‘garbage in garbage out.’ You don’t have to fix your mind to learn more, you just have to align and make correct the martial arts that go into it. Doesn’t matter what system of Kung Fu you know, what I am saying works, and if you don’t know any martial arts, you can learn a real kung fu system, within a couple of months, all you have to do is change your method of training.
