TYPES OF WRITING YOU HAVE TO DO TO BECOME A WRITER
There is a progression, sort of, to learning how to write. Poetry ~ Many people think prose is poetry, but they are wrong, as proved by my little essay on Prose vs Poetry. I used to keep a spiral ring notebook next to my bed because I kept waking up with ideas. Didn’t get much sleep, but writing is more fun than being unconscious. Porn ~ One should write short squibs of porn. The market is…
The Now of Was
Why I hate people! Is this fellow’s Now a Was? Or is he so Now that he is giving everybody else a Now? Okay, I don’t hate people, but I find it increasingly difficult to get along with them, and not for any reason you might come up with. When I was teaching the martial arts if I talked to prospective students for more then four or five minute, beyond the simple questions of why do you want to…

Terrorism in Los Angeles!
And I ain’t kiddin’! That’s what my ABSOLUTELY FREE book is about. Check it out at AlCaseBooks. Oh, you don’t like FREE. That’s okay. You can buy it, but whether you buy it or get it for FREE, it’s at AlCaseBooks. The book is about a cell of terrorists who take a school in South Central Los Angeles hostage. The government is incompetent (tell me about it!), the media is compromised, and the…
Behind the Matrix of Martial Arts!
Since I recently dropped my martial arts newsletter and do only this martial arts blog I decided I should go over the concept behind matrixing. Before we start…subscribe for these free blogs. First, I selected the name for Monster Martial Arts because i really liked the old TV show, Monster Garage. They took cars and put them together to create original concept cars. Houseboat…
Could Classical Martial Arts Evolve in the US!
brought to you by MonsterMartialArts.com The martial arts that developed in the US, and in other parts of the world, do not have the classical, oriental flavor. They don’t have forms, the techniques are simplified, (think boxing) and the fighting methods are different. So, the question, could (can?) western martial arts develop zen philosophy and methods? Boxing was codified, and…
Perfect Stances in Karate
Good Karate stances depend on several things. One, you have to analyze the angle of the foot for best traction. Two, you have to analyze the leg for max efficiency when it comes to the push, or launch. Three, the best method for finding the best stance is to have somebody push on your stance, from the block or fist down to the ground. Four, analyze the body from the viewpoint of geometric…
Reading Minds with Martial Arts!
Reading minds is pretty easy with the martial arts, but it takes some time to cultivate the ability. First, dedicate yourself to doing the forms. Do the forms until they become automatic and you are halfway there. Automatic is where most people stop, and these people end up mouthing about such things as muscle memory. But they have only gone halfway. You must continue to do the…
Two New Martial Arts Books!
Yep! Two, count ‘em two… martial arts books. But, let me give you a couple of cautions. I like to sell stuff, but I detest misrepresenting, or selling stuff that people will be sorry they bought. SO… The books are about Neutronics, which is my science as it developed from matrixing. I think it is crucial to understand the science behind the science of the martial arts. People who…
Firestorm Kung Fu!
Hearts to California. I lived there for over 70 years and I loved it. You know how to defeat the firestorm that engulfed California? Or similar tragedies that infect our country? Elect competent politicians. Where do we get competent politicians? From competent people. Where do we get competent people? The martial arts. Martial Arts provides a discipline that makes people…

The Terrible Truth About Ed Parker
I just published this piece on Kenpo Martial Arts on Academia. I’ve got a lot of other articles on that site. I’ve heard many stories of many arts that were, shall we say, less than honorable. The one I heard about Kenpo Karate, however, is one of the worst I have heard. Unfortunately, I don’t know how true it is, but with the data I present in this article perhaps some one could let me know if…
Conditioning and Protecting Your Hands in the Martial Arts!
Thanks for asking, Kumar. When I began the martial arts we were hitting trees, sticking our hands into boxes of sand, and generally thinking we were conditioning our fists. Actually, we didn’t know what we were doing. When I went to my first real school, the Kang Duk Won, there were two planter boxes at the head of the class. One had sand and the other had pebbles. We dug our spear…
About the Martial Arts Encyclopedia!
As you may know I have republished the five books I refer to as the Martial Arts Encyclopedia. I wrote them over a twenty year period. I wrote them out of order, though they are in the correct order as published. PAN GAI NOON I wanted to know where Karate came from A fellow once told me if you don’t know sanchin you don’t know karate. I describe the two essential forms Sanchin and…
The Problem with Ed Parker Kenpo Karate!
That Kenpo is broken is obvious. Actually, not to hurt anybody’s feelings, it has been broken from the get go. One simple proof is that the founder himself, Edmund Parker, presented five different versions of the art during his lifetime. Five different versions, starting with a shotokan karate based version, and progressing through a variety of made up kung fu. Yet, before you decide I am…
The Five Kenpos of Ed Parker
The first Kenpo of Ed Parker was actually Okinawan Karate. One can see the forms in the string of techniques in his first book. Forms were actually not taught, except, I believe, for Naihanchi and maybe one or two others. The second version was a blend of Karate and jujitsu. This version was originally taught in a small temple in Japan. The third Kenpo of Mr. Parker was actually created by…
Black Belt Yoga!
The difference between yoga and martial arts is quite interesting but quite simple. Yoga is ‘not moving’ meditation Martial arts is moving meditation Both use the body, and studying both can be incredibly enlightening. In yoga you assume a pose and put your awareness through the body. The focus is on flexibility, there is much good health, awareness grows. All good stuff. In martial…
