While MMA is popular, there are problems with it. Let's be honest, while some fellow is using Jujitsu, he is rolling around and vulnerable to an attack from his opponents friends. Not to mention that it is not always the most intelligent thing to roll around on the ground with some fellow who has a knife or broken bottle.
I know I have offended some stylists out there, but these are questions that you cannot run away from. After all, the ring looks ferocious, but biting is a problem on the street. And getting your fingers broken or your eyes gouged is always a possibility if you are trying to do some Brazilian Jujitsu on some fool.
No, it is better to keep a distance, be able to evade, manipulate, and even run. Yes, you have to watch what kind of a surface you are on, but mobility in warfare is extremely important. And talking mobility, we are talking something like Shotokan, or Shorin Ryu, or Kenpo.
The problem is that people have bought into the idea that ia person needs a life time, even several lifetimes, to learn good Kung Fu, like Shaolin or Mantis. But it doesn't require vast amounts of time. All you have to do is find a system which is built upon the core principles of the martial arts and then concentrate on those principles.
We are not talking about Jeet Kune Do of Bruce Lee here, because we don't want a grab bag of sample all and take what works. What we want are the actual core concepts behind this thing called the classical martial arts. We want the truth of arts such as the Shaolin styles of Hung Gar or Choy Li Fut, or other classical styles.
The best way to do this is to learn how to apply the concepts of matrixing to what you are studying. When you matrix your martial art, be it classical karate like Wado or Israeli survival like Krav Maga, it will suddenly become logical and easy to understand. And, being logical, a martial art will suddenly be ten times easier to understand.
And here's something most people have not understood in the martial arts, logic leads to prediction to intuition. Those sixth sense abilities of the martial arts are sometimes difficult to come into, but they don't need to be. Once you start applying matrixing concepts to your martial arts, and I don't care if it is tae kwon do or one of the Korean Kwans, your ability to perceive on a different level, your ability to understand and generate chi kung, sometimes called gi gong, will start to come to the fore.
Really, what we are talking about here is pushign the classical martial arts into modern times. We are talking about a real source of actual evolution when we are talking about learning how to Matrix. So, you walk behind that ox, sweeping up the dung with a whisk broom, or you can ride the race horse to the head of the pack by learning the fundamentals of Matrix Martial Arts.
