Eight Deadly Attacks!
There are only eight attacks.
Thousands of techniques,
but only eight attacks.
You can figure them out easy enough.
Here’s three to start you out:
Sword catcher, club catcher,
fist catcher…
Go on,
figure the other five out.
The idea is that if somebody is holding a weapon,
that’s what they’ll attack with,
so your options become very predictable.
This thing,
of there only being eight attacks,
simplifies the martial arts incredibly.
Once people realize this they start tossing out
everything they have learned wholesale.
Simplicity is just too sweet to be resisted.
Interestingly,
I figured this stuff out,
and a lot more besides,
not because I am Mr. Joe Genius.
I figured it all out because I used a dictionary
and defined all the words
that were necessary to the martial arts.
Energy, flow, power, ridge, stance, focus, and so on and so on.
while other people looked up words in other languages,
and became historians, of a sort,
I looked up the words in the English language,
and they made a lot more sense.
In fact, not to change the subject,
but I always remember the foreign
martial arts instructor who said,
‘It take three lifetimes to learn the martial arts.
Americans haven’t had the martial arts long enough,
so no American can master them.’
This was a high ranker,
and he ranked in more ways than one.
In fact, he ranked to high heaven,
if you get my drift.
I mean, what he said was actually racist.
And the research I have done in the martial arts
totally proves this.
Why should it take three lifetimes to understand something?
Just look up the word or concept,
and then do the right drills or exercises
(and it’s easy to figure out
what’s right when you understand the words)
and you have mastery!
Well,
the good news is that nobody remembers his name,
so his influence was nothing,
and we are safe to master the martial arts as we wish.
And the last thing on this subject?
I actually wrote a dictionary of martial arts terms,
and terms that pertain to Matrixing
(which is the martial method of my school)
A whole dictionary.
Me.
And everybody that reads it
is blown away.
And believe me,
people actually do read it,
just like a novel.
The ability to understand something,
you see,
and then master it,
is so deliciously sweet.
It certainly makes figuring out something
like the eight deadly attacks
very, very easy.
That all said,
you should probably get one of these dictionaries.
The only problem?
I don’t sell them.
Sorry.

Karate GI $73.28 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Karategi is the Japanese name for the karate training uniform. A karategi is somewhat similar to a judogi (Judo uniform) as it shares a common origin, however the material and cut of the uniform is generally much lighter and looser fitting. Due to the nature of Karate training which emphasizes striking, kicking and a more limited range of standing throws compared to Judo the karategi has evolved in a manner that maximizes mobility and speed without the extremely coarse and strong fabric required for grappling and throwing found in Judo. Indeed cheaper karategi are often cut from a light fabric similar to a summer shirt. These karategi are easily ripped, and tend to adhere to the practitioners skin, creating some discomfort after any extensive perspiration is experienced. Such karategi material is no heavier than the 8 oz weight fabric.

Yoshukai Karate $92.4 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Mamoru Yamamoto (later called Katsuo) (b. 10 July 1938) began his formal training in the martial arts in Miyakonojo, Japan. He first studied judo, but began training in the Chitoryu style of karate under Dr. Chitose at the age of fifteen In 1959, Yamamoto and his wife Sumiko opened their first dojo in Kitakyushu, Japan in the Fujitani Judo Club. In the early 1960s, Chitose gave Yamamoto permission to start his own branch of ChitoRyu karate under the name of Yoshukan, and in 1963 Chitose changed the third kanji of their branchs name from kan meaning to stand alone to kai meaning association, indicating a potential for growth within the organization. During this early period, Yamamoto worked with Mas Oyama of Kyokushinkai Karate to develop the rules for Japanese full contact sparring to replace the sun dome tournament rule of the time. This rule meant that competitors must spar at full speed but could not make contact with one another, which made judging of fighting very subjective.
