Anybody know this guy? He just started advertising in "Inside Kung Fu Magazine." He claims to know the secret "Five Army Taijiquan" that nobody else in the word knows, except him (wonder who he learned it from)?

Well, when someone pops out of nowhere and claims they know something that nobody else in to world knows....its probably true.
Because they made it up.

[Josealb]

So, since im at work and theres no work to be done....i read this guys page and oh boy, it turned out to be gold.

"One night Bill was struck so hard he turned grey and started to die. We quickly applied a Scientology Assist and brought him back to life and continued the class."


"The third lesson I was standing, watching my instructor show me a move, and suddenly the entire room glowed with a golden light. The ceiling was glowing, the walls were glowing, everything was glowing. In awe, I realized that my instructor had no idea what was happening to me."

"They turned, punched towards me, and I found out why the windows were bulging. Raw, warm, wonderful power rushed past me. It was breathtaking."

"Finally, the art moving me, I said, ‘I’ll tell you why I don’t want to do this.’ I knelt in the Zen position and looked up at them. ‘Rush me.’ They rushed. I glowed and the room filled with my light. One of them sheered off, the other one fell down. ‘That’s not what we meant,’ they protested."

Giving him the benefit of the doubt, he probably learned it while in deep meditation from some ancient daoist sage. The system is named 5 army because the sage that taught the system defeated the 5 armies of the dream world using this fist method.

Why is it that every kook in the MA seems to teach Taiji and Bagua now?

He learned it from his secret master and then turned on him with his new-found skills...killing him with a buddah belly chi blast. RIP.

[Mas Judt]

i wonder if he learned from a hirisute Shaolin Monk...

[roger hao]

He studied for 7 years with a Korean guy and then he saw the Matrix
and learned Kung Fu. Upon waking he said "I know Kung Fu".
Don't you hate when you try out a new Chinese restaurant that looks
good and it turns out to be Korean and all the dishes are just a little off
in their execution?

Well, the school's lineology [sic] is certainly a grand tour of Asia:

http://www.monsterma.../Lineology.html

And there are some points I would have questions about, in the above.

But on behalf of Korean cooking, it is really quite good, as a thing in itself. Next time you are in the situation you describe, ask for some bulgogi, sticky rice and a side of their hottest kimchi. It's really scrumtious.

[gryphonz]

mmm Korean food!

[roger hao]

Oh Yeah - I agree - I like Korean food - I just don't like how they do Chinese food.
I especially don't like how they do Thai food. On that subject any one want to comment
on how they like Chinese food in Austin TX cooked by Mexican people? I like the extra
Jalepeno peppers myself.
It seems that he would have to acquire the Korean philosophy to the Martial Arts.
The chop suey effect is in his expurgations on matrixing. Reading thru the site makes me suspect that
he has no idea as to the more subtle methods and applications that are contained in the
diverse disciplines that he has extracted only 'what works' out of.It is evident in his apps clip
which shows basic technique only.
The Norman Rah link and the Bob Babich link looks weak in the lineology. Norman has no cred
and Bob studied with him 4 years.

lineology

[Mas Judt]

Well, he also studied 'etcetera', which is pretty impressive

[ghostdancer]

Isee he was audited as a scientologist-he finally found the path to wealth

Isn't that the path to losing lots of money?

I love the names "Matrix Combat" and "Matrix Kung Fu." I wanna walk up to people and say, "I know Matrix Kung Fu."

[Royal Dragon]

What lineage of Chung Moo Kwan? One is legit, and the other from a rouge beginner student from he legit linegae that was never fully trained and just made up the rest of the style by watching old Shaw Bros. movies (Seriously, this is what actually happened, I know a guy who was there at the time)

On another note, do you guys think Curious George gave permission for this guy to use his likeness?

MATRIX KUNG FU

(Monkey Boxing!)

THERE is a drill THAT nobody KNEW! THIS one drill HAS been seen IN pieces THROUGHOUT the Martial Arts. BUT nobody EVER put it together.

If YOU have seen THE dharma Combat dvd THEN you KNOW what that drill is and you know HOW it fits into combat.

AND, as A RESULT, you know HOW important THAT one drill is. What YOU don’t know is THE complete art THAT is plugged into THE drill.

THAT art is Matrix Kung Fu, which I CALL monkey boxing.

This art IS a pivotal art. It is THE Art which s-u-r-r-o-u-n-d-s possibly THE biggest IN matrixing.

THIS is THE art of WHICH I speak when I relate THE story of ‘solving THE martial Arts,’

The ONE constant rule OF a fight is THATdistance COLLAPSES! Kung FU has been around for THOUSANDS of years, THERE have been thousands of VARIATIONS, and THE art has been ALLOWED to INBREED, CROSSBREED, MUTATE, VEGETATE and BECOME something different for EVERY person!


Well, it IS an art, It is ALLOWED to.

However, THE true Art is NOT allowed to. An Art may be something different to every PERSON, but there is ONLY one true Art.

Fortunately,the RULES for making a True art OUT of any art REMAIN the same.

First, align THE body. Which IS why WE recommend matrix KARATE. You KNOW, there is nothing WRONG with all those kung fu systems,

except THAT there is so much VARIETY the rules for body alignment HAVE been lost. Matrix karate aligns THE body.


But what ABOUT the other persons body?


This is not a matter OF alignment,BUT of matrixing WHAT and HOW you are supposed to attack. You see, learning HOW to block and strike is FINE,


but WHAT do YOU do when THE distance collapses and you ARE forced into guiding blocks AND jointlocks?

WHAT matrix Kung Fu does is explore THE only forty TAKEDOWN techniques you WILL ever need to know.


The reason for THIS is that all OTHER techniques fall within the r-e-a-l-m of THESE techniques.


This is DONE through ROCK solid theory that DOES not deviate. In fact,

once you SEE the central theory, ONCE you see HOW I developed THE forty techniques,

you wilL SLAP your HEAD and say, 'OMFG!'


The theory is SO simple that it HAS been hidden.


And once you HAVE the theory, even without the FORTY techniques,


the takedowns and THROWS of your OWN art WILL instantly start to fall INTO a logic THAT cannot be denied.


But we don't stop there.


We take THE BODY apart, show how the THEORY applies to each and every JOINT. THIS means that EVEN IF your art has the majority of techniques, YOU WILL now have ANY that it doesn't have.

FURTHERMORE, MY experience in TEACHING these forty techniques is THAT THERE is a precise and EXACT entry method for EACHtechnique.

I SHOW you the ENTRY methods.

This means that THE collapsation of DISTANCE, which is THE constant of ANY fight, is actually matrixed. I hope YOU UNDERSTAND what a fantastic breakthrough THIS IS. NOT just a bunch OF techniques, BUT how they CHANGE as the distance COLLAPSES. The END result is that YOU will be going through DOOR after DOOR, EXPLORING 'what if' after 'what if,' AND FINDING the 'neverending' THAT THE True Art is.

And, WE show you how to matrix the techniques INTO FREESTYLE. This is NOT AN ART with lots of techniques, and then A SEPARATE ART of freestyle.

This is an art WHICH is applied, without CHANGE, DIRECTly into freestyle.


This is THE whole weaponless PORTION of Monkey Boxing.

It is a PERFECT art, as it is the art I DEVISED TO present matrixing, and to introduce YOU TO the True Art.

What DOES IT cost?

the PRICE of this course is only $199.95
Was TWO HUNDRED bucks!


Now IT IS only $30!
that's right. $199.95.
Was two hundred BUCKS!


Now it is only $30!

O.K. Honourable Master. I accept your daring, hair-raising, mind-boggling, blood-curdling, no-risk, trial offer to reveal the secrets of MATRIX MONKEY KARATE in a plain wrapper at once. Yes Master, I never again want to be 'Weak In The Knees' and 'Chicken Out' and 'Wet My Pants' when insulted and attacked.
I agree never to abuse the principles of MATRIX MONKEY KARATE or consult a lawyer. I am over 4.
I have an extra Y chromosome.
Bill me later. I understand that if I am not completely satisfied I have been had.
