Now,

let’s go…

These are crazy times we live in.

People rioting in the streets,

mass murders,

criminals being encouraged by the courts

to rob, pillage, steal…

and worse.

Even the cops go crazy some times!

There never has been a time

when you needed martial arts more.

Now,

if you’ve read my book on

‘The Science of Government,’

you know where this society is going,

and you need to learn all you can,

practice to make it work,

and stay away from crazy people.

So,

what do I recommend?

First,

if you’re hard core

and are going to do the martial arts 

for the rest of your life,

you don’t need this advise.

You understand that you should study everything,

select what uniquely works for you,

and create your own method of self defense,

and that you should practice 

for hours and hours

every single day.

But,

there are a lot of people

who aren’t interested in that immersion.

For them,

I recommend a basic course in Karate.

First,

build your muscles with body calisthenics.

Weights are good,

but body weight calisthenics are better.

You can argue with that at your leisure.

Second,

spend some time stretching.

Yoga is recommended.

Third,

get a bag and work on it.

A lot.

You need to feel the weight 

when you punch.

Fourth

Learn a few forms

and practice them.

BUT…

Fifth

learn Sanchin.

But not the way it is commonly taught.

I talk about this in some of my books, 

specifically

‘How to Fix Karate.’

Learn Sanchin,

but change the basic blocking move

that is repeated through the form

into a slap and a grab.

The slap/grab is more efficient,

as it is more efficient

to simply slap something aside,

then grab it.

It is intuitive,

and it reveals a basic weakness

that has been instilled into Karate.

Karate was developed by a woman.

Do you think she bashed forearms endlessly?

Or did she practice slipping and slapping,

and getting out of the way?

But for hundreds of years we guys

have been obsessed with bashing our arms.

Oh, I don’t disbelieve in blocking methods.

I think they are necessary,

so learn to block,

but focus on the slap grab method.

It’s in

‘How to Fix Karate’

if you want to see it,

and there are lots of hours of video

through links in the books.

But to continue…

Sixth

Get a few friends

and go over the applications

until they are second nature.

Seventh,

work on your freestyle.

When you can apply the techniques of the forms

during freestyle,

then you have mastered karate.

And that’s about it.

You don’t have to kill yourself,

although the more dedicated amongst us

are encouraged to do so.

You just have to set aside an hour every day

and be serious.

Here’s the link to the book with videos…

HOW TO FIX KARATE!

Make sure you get both volumes,

it’s a big, hefty piece of work!

Have a great work out!
