How I Solved the Martial Arts!

To the best of my understanding, not one person has considered the martial arts as a puzzle. No one has ever thought of the Martial arts as a puzzle to be solved. Nobody has ever assembled the puzzle to see what the martial arts actually look like.

When I asked the question and, eventually, solved the puzzle, I was left with a rather astounding concept. I discovered that fabulous True Art that people talk about but never realize. I also found out why people never discover the True Art.

At the heart of the True Art is physics. All motion in this universe, you see, can be measured by physics. Physics, therefore, is the one subject that one must understand if they are to reach the True Art.

At first, like every other student, I availed myself of magazines and books, and I studied every art I came in contact with. I saw movies, ordered libraries of video tapes, and I had deep discussions with every martial artist I came in contact with. The digital age made my activities even larger, and i began sample and study arts across the whole planet.

One day I decided to make a record of all the techniques I had learned over the years. These were recorded on the backs of business cards, and I spread them across the living room of my house. The cards numbered in the thousands, and they covered every art and style I had studied.

I began to compile the techniques into categories. I labeled them by kick or punch, by straight or by circular, by whatever concept of art I could think of. I even tried categorizing them by where they had originated.

I began to see patterns, and I started throwing out duplicate techniques. I tossed out all the techniques that were poser, that depended on the attacker waiting for the defender to do his stuff. The stacks of cards grew smaller, became easier to consider, and eventually there were only forty techniques left.

Thats what the martial arts consist of, only forty simple techniques. All of the other arts and styles are just copying those techniques. The real joy in this endeavor, however, wasnt the forty techniques that were the heart of the martial arts, the real joy was that I began to understand all the patterns underneath the development of the martial arts.

Yes, I have solved the martial arts, and they are a big puzzle. But that puzzle, once viewed in complete is so astoundingly magnificent that it takes the breath away. With the forty techniques the future of the martial arts is golden, and it is starting now.
