Matrixing is the analysis and handling force and flow (direction). It is a logical way of looking at the martial arts.
When the martial arts came to this country they created tremendous effect. People gravitated to them, studied them diligently, and learned them.
They also learned the method for teaching them. Unfortunately, this method doesn’t work too well, and it results in people actually quitting the martial arts.
Look, you can train a monkey to do a random dance, and the people of America were trained like monkeys.
A better way to train somebody would be to appeal to their understanding, to get them to understand the 1,2,3′s of the martial arts. To understand the alphabet and the language.
Unfortunately, the martial arts weren’t arranged in a logical 1, 2, 3 fashion. They were arranged in random and even chaotic dance. This discourages logical thought, and moves the student into mysticism.
What matrixing does is present the martial arts in logical order, and here we come across something interesting.
While a monkey is trained monkey see monkey do, a human being actually absorbs material. He glances and knows.
Thus, the training methods of the martial arts dumb down the student, make him memorize random dances, and never appeal to the greater learning ability within.
To be honest, the training methods of all society do this. They train people like monkeys, and discourage the individual from absorbing any degree of material, and especially quality material.
Matrixing presents the art logically, and within a very short time the individual casts off restraint and begins absorbing data. And he absorbs it…fast!
This is the martial arts training method of the future, a future where students absorb whole arts in the time it takes one monkey to advanced a belt level.
