An important point is to note that martial arts must not be learned so as to cause bodily harm to another. This does not mean that it is wrong to defend one's self or family. It has been observed that Martial arts education is not viewed by a great many people as an actual education. Some of martial arts are identified as taekwon-do, kung-fu, karate-do or jiu-jutsu.

Many people choose martial art training after being encouraged by a meticulous sporting event or athlete. Boxing, a type of martial art, is just a sport and a way to practice one's striking skills. Since last decade, academicians are conducting research on a variety of martial arts forms as practiced in the United States. These arts have their origin in a variety of East Asian cultures but most familiar arts is known as judo which are the contemporary development of fighting techniques developed during the feudal era in Japan. These techniques were used to attract viewers and encouraged people to observe and enjoy such art.

Cultural significance of martial art is more important than physical impact. Though martial art is a Controversial issue but it is very popular among populace of world. Opponents argue that that it is wrong because there is a threat of life. Martial art is best technique to retain good health as well as for self defense. It guard us for indefinite fear and enhance self confidence and to face the challenges of life.

SIFU SAY:

Sifu Dansac call you for what you are; you are cheap advert pretend to be real person. You are plastic man, you are corporate whore; you bend over and take it, Laui, right in your corporate ass.

If Sifu wrong, you will tell him so, but you message read like advert; you are take the Kung-Fu piss with your taekwondo.

Sifu have no more to say to you; you are unworthy to take part in ninja revolution, you are steep in capitalist dogma. Sifu bin you here and now, before you even apply to Yellow Lotus Secret World Domination Society; you not good enough, Laui; Sifu report you as spam!

ISAMAN SAY:

I find your take on my introduction message very interesting. I was just asking if you'd be interested in checking into a health and wellness program. I am not just in taekwondo but that seems to be the universal art for most people I know. I have studied kempo, hapkido, Hick's manipulation, taekwondo, Brazilian jui jitsu, and of course kung fu. What I learned from my martial arts training is that you not only need to train your muscle memory, spirit, and mind.....but you must also get stronger in body as well by eating right. I did not mean any disrespect by sending you the message and friend request. I just wanted to share with you something that has helped me with developing body.

SIFU SAY:

Oh, yeah sure, Laui. Sifu fool by that one; you just mention brilliant product because you think it so cool. For sure, and Sifu was born yesterday in pocket of him daddy clown trousers. Try saying that three times fast, Laui, and then tell Sifu about your physical dexterity and fitness and brilliant product. Sifu not believe a word of it; you be try sell him magic beans next. How gullible you think people are?

Hah, Sifu deride you martial arts with your talk of muscle memory; martial art all about warrior spirit and chi, otherwise little old Chinese man never beat fit young fighter; it's all about chi, Laui! You have no chi, you have only sit-ups and fitness regime. Capoeria better than you; Capoeria at least got rhythm. Sifu recognize you politeness for groveling apology and accept plea for forgiveness. Sifu maybe consider you for Yellow Lotus World Domination Secret Society. Sifu set you a test, see if you are worthy become ninja; tell Sifu something about chi that he did not know.

ISAMAN SAY:

If you think I am trying to sell you some "magical" solution to help you get super powers, you are wrong. You read into my messages too far. I can show you how the product works by breaking it down scientifically but I doubt that you would understand it. As far as my background in the martial arts, I have an extensive one because I was once a police officer. I know what chi is. It is the energy derived from the spirit. I understand more than you think I do. The little old man can defeat the young strong man due to his will to win the fight. It is not the size of the person that matters but the size of the person's will to win that decides the fight. This will comes from the person's inner spirit, therefore chi is responsible. Check into "dark matter" you will get a much better understanding of this energy if you understand physics. Maybe I should be the Sifu and you the Laui....?

SIFU SAY:

Actually, Sifu do understand physics. Sifu see you physics and raise you metaphysics; Chi is concept originate with Indian Yogi, as prove by Sanskrit writings. Sanskrit still common language of meditation across entire Oriental world, inform all area of philosophical thought.

You confusion regarding Chi is linguistic, Laui. What you describe is Japanese concept of Kimei, fighting or warrior spirit, not Chi. Chi is one of many energies recognize by system originating in Yoga and used today by Kung-Fu, Pa-Gua Chang, Tai Chi and Ninjutsu, among others. Incidentally, concept of Chi is also recognize in Celtic and Norse mythology, suggesting it exist also in Occidental Martial arts no longer practice today.

Try that on for size; who the Laui now, eh?

ISAMAN SAY:

Ok, you got me. I do understand that chi is a concept of the universal/natural energy. But, doesn't that idea sound a bit "magical" to you? It is like saying ghosts exist without actually seeing one first hand. In the long run, it is all electrical........

SIFU FINALLY SAY:

Hah! Please Laui, excuse Sifu for a moment while him dance victory jig on table and beat him chest like Ninja ape.

Is chi magical, or the same as electricity? No; electricity, heat, kinetic force, sound, these all are scientifically measurable energies within the human body. Heat is friction and body temperature, kinetic force is the impact of a punch; sound exist on multiple levels within the body, from the vibration of individual nerves to the Ki'ai. Electricity exists as the micro-charge of human thought or a pain signal from nerve to brain. From this perspective, Laui, Chi must exist as a scientific energy in its own right. If all of the above are existing energies, and kimei the spiritual energy, then what is chi?

In Sanskrit, corresponding word for chi is prana; in Gaelic, same word is gwei; all three mean 'breath'. From scientific viewpoint therefore, chi is energy released by body process of breathing. All this stuff is back up by science and kung-fu wisdom; check out 'Tai-Chi Classics' for all about chi, read good book on yoga for energies of human body, then compare with kung-fu theory.

So no, it not magic, Laui; Sifu defeat you by knowledge!

Sifu hope all Laui enjoy reading fierce debate on nature of chi; The World Shall Hear From Me Again!!!

Sifu Dansac have been silence by Ninjas! That right, Laui; evil Ninjas from USA attempt to stop Sifu Dansac from elucidate secrets of Kung Fu.

In his long travels all over internet, Sifu Dansac meet many martial artist, many master, many Ninja. But American Ninjas in USA have object to Sifu teachings and him manner of expression. They tell Sifu, “Please, don't contact us again.” This is secret Ninja talk for dire threats of Ninjutsu vengeance; Sifu speak to Ninjas, explain him only Kung Fu Master, want to teach and make people happy, but American Ninjas don't care. Them very serious about them self, never laugh at nothing and contemplate only deep issue of doom and gloom. They not think Sifu in the least bit funny and cast aspersion on him qualification to teach Kung Fu.

Never fear, Laui; your Sifu will not abandon you. Everyone scared of Ninjas, except me. What they gonna do, eh? What they gonna do? Sifu is safe in secret hideout, deep within Victorian sewers underneath River Thames in London. Ninjas can find him there if them want; Sifu will give them tour of secret base, show them him really mean business. Sifu show American Ninjas around main plotting room, where Sifu hatch him plots, and also show them Ninja Personnel Office, run by Sifu own Ninjas. Sifu also show them Ninja staff room, where lazy Ninja go to drink coffee and smoke cigarette. Perhaps if Sifu extend hand of friendship, American Ninjas come around. Otherwise, only Martial Arts feud lasting generations and centuries can possibly resolve dispute. Sifu quite prepare pour out river of Ninja blood, but modern world not work like that. Sifu expect American Ninjas complain on-line, send him virtual assassination attempt and digital poison sushi.

Hah, foolish American Ninjas, Sifu does not fear you! He will be back with more elucidation Oriental secret and Kung-Fu mystery!

Ninja ancient secret society in Japan, originate from feudal time of Samurai. Samurai rule Japan; over years, Samurai take more and more power away from other groups in society. Japanese Martial Arts rise from three source in history; from Samurai, from peasants and from Yama-Bushi fighting monks.

Samurai chief concern with sword; it their favorite weapon. From Samurai study sword, them develop other weapons and eventually unarmed fighting-style Jujutsu. Peasants in Okinawa south of Japan invent Karate. Yama-Bushi fighting and spiritual techniques influenced by Tantric and Yoga teachings all the way from India and Tibet. These technique influence early Ninja in Iga and Koga regions of Japan.

Ninjutsu name mean "Art of Invisibility"; this mean Ninja secret to always win is not be faster or smarter, but to be invisible. Invisible not mean Ninja literal Invisible Man; Ninja invisible in intent and action. Enemy never know what Ninja think and do, where him live, how him train; Ninja very extreme secretive. Ninja different morality to Samurai, say it okay tell lies and use tricks as part of strategy to win. Ninja also believe in Chinese concept Yin and Yang, harmony of all things in universe. To Ninja mind, something only bad if it lead to failure, suffering for people or selfish action. Ninja not believe in superstition or magic; Ninja believe all things physical, that from thought come word and then deed. From Ninja perspective, to think is same as to do and idea is real as tree or rock. So if man think selfish reason for him action, both action and thinking wrong. Same action and same thinking right if man act for sake of other people.

Ninja fighting style not about be fastest or best; Samurai train to be master swordsman, treasure most expensive sword with sharpest edge. Ninja often poor and forbidden carry weapons; him not afford expensive sword and not allowed train or carry weapon anyway. In straight-up sword fight, Samurai win. Ninja therefore avoid sword fight, use other weapons and methods to win fight. To Samurai, this called cheating, but Ninja more concern with survive and win than die in macho style.

Ninja learn to beat enemy who is stronger, faster and better armed, but him also learn how to beat opponent who is better skilled fighter. True Ninja style as much concern with manipulate opponent mind as beat seven shade of crap out of him body; to control other man mind, Ninja first learn to control himself and him own thoughts.

Real Ninjutsu rare on TV and movie; real Ninja style not look flashy with high kicks and nunchuks like Bruce Lee. Real Ninja style all about hide what you do, not reveal limitations by show off best techniques, not advertise self or true extent of ability.

Religion very important subject to many people. Some people think it most important thing in whole world. First, Sifu remind student that Martial Science is not religion; Martial Science is study of nature, of how stuff actually works. Principles of physics always the same, principles of anatomy not change from one man to another. Just so, principles of mathematics not change from one sum to the next. Principle of Martial Science also that no one thing better than any other thing; say apples better than oranges is matter of opinion. Fact is, some man like oranges, other man like apples; neither one wrong. Just so religion; what is good for one man to believe not necessarily good for other man. Religion often excuse for men to fight, but it is only excuse; argument really about something completely different to what them say.

To explain more, Sifu use three example of different religion: Christianity, Islam and Paganism.

Christianity believe that one day, God come back and fix everything. Christianity say this for about two thousand years, and them still saying it now. Principle of Martial Science at work here is history; them been waiting one hell of long time. Farmer wait for rain because him know rain came last year, and all the years before that. Very small number of Christian man have tell us date that God coming back, but it not happen yet. Sifu visit church one day, at time of election, and him ask people at church how them will vote. Sifu understand this personal question; some people say no on principle, and that their right. People at church say them never vote on nothing, because God always pick the winner him want until him come back and run everything himself. Now Sifu understand; believe God come back tomorrow mean man not have to think about way things are today.

Second example; Islam much in the news lately, because some Muslim very angry and blow themselves up in name of their god. Muslim god called Allah, and them very keen everybody call god this name. Them especial angry with Christians and Jewish; call them "infidel" and "unbeliever", call for Jihad, which is "Holy War". Koran is holy book of Islam, tell them what to believe, but some Muslim believe things not written in Koran; Koran say Muslim, Christian and Jewish all people of one book and should live in peace. Here is contradiction; what book say and what some Muslim believe are not the same. Stuff that is Science is always consistent; it make sense to rational human mind. Stuff that is belief and opinion can disagree; man can hold conflicting beliefs and get on okay in him own head. It not necessary man understand or prove him belief; only matter to convince other people he is right. So if man can pick and choose what him believe, belief only matter of personal taste, like apples and oranges. Why then man use religion as excuse for war? Obviously, there are issue of territory and power at stake; it is politics hide behind religion.

Final example Paganism. Paganism strange religion, believe in many gods with many different style all over world. This not mean all Pagan live in peace; no, in past them fight wars too. Celtic Pagans fight Norse Pagans, Greek Pagans fight amongst themselves and Roman Pagans fight everybody. Only important remember that these Pagans not fight over religion; Celts and Norse fight over territory, because Norse have no farmland to support population and come to Britain for to survive. Britain only small and Celts and Norse eventually fight over land; when them done fight, them become one people and live together. Greeks fight each other all the time until Romans conquer them, but Greeks never fight for religion at all; them all believe in same set of gods, and fight for other things, like politics. Pagan Romans fight to make big empire and rule everyone; them only make fuss about religion after turn into Christians. Christians and Muslim both agree that all Pagans are bad, but only Pagans Sifu ever hear of who fight for religion are Aztecs; Aztecs believe sun come up in morning because priest cut out human heart. Aztecs so scared sun not come up, them kill thousands and thousands, have to make wars to get new people to sacrifice to them god. Aztec culture pour out rivers of blood and eventually collapse, all because them so arrogant think them have power control sun come up or not. Martial Science look at sun and say; him come up everyday for millions of years before people think to make sacrifice; logic therefore, sun still come up tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow for millions of years to come.

Sifu draw conclusion based on Martial Science. War never really about religion; it about politics and economics. If people say them fight for religion, either them lying or them victim of lie. Equally, if world was not perfect yesterday and is not perfect today, probably world will not be perfect tomorrow by just believe. What means "perfect" anyway? Martial Science say man should make up him own mind, based on common sense and what him observe from nature. Sifu Dansac speak in riddles, but him logic is impeccable.

Go-Kan-Ryu is modern style of Karate invented in 1980's. Currently, Go-Kan-Ryu is biggest Karate club in the world, whole wide world, because them use special Salesman Secrets to promote style. There is Go-Kan-Ryu in Australia, America and England, but not in Europe or Japan. Go-Kan-Ryu only style Karate not originate Japan or Okinawa.

To understand Go-Kan-Ryu, student must examine Japanese meaning of name. Go mean "Hard", as in traditional Japanese style Go-Ju Ryu. Ju mean "soft", Ryu mean "school", so Go-Ju Ryu name mean "Hard Soft School"; Go-Ju Karate all about flow of tension and relaxation in human body. Second part of Go-Kan-Ryu name "Kan", also mean "hard", but subtle different meaning from "Go". Shotokan Karate "Long-Hard" Karate; style chiefly concern with long punch and kick at full power.

Go-Kan Ryu mean "Hard-Hard School", or "Double Hard Karate". Here it important point that Go-Kan-Ryu come from Australia, not from Japan. Australian slang, "double-hard" mean one really tough man, so Go-Kan-Ryu could mean it Karate for very tough people.

In Japanese, characters and syllables can sometime be change around, use to make phonetic pun or play on words. Go-Kan-Ryu could be write "Kan-Go-Ryu" and still mean same thing. In English, Kan-Go-Ryu read like big hopping Australian mouse called Kangaroo. Kancho Go-Kan-Ryu, man who found style, surely him expert in Japanese language. Australian Go-Kan-Ryu therefore Kangaroo Karate; perhaps them fight by lean back on tail and kick with both legs?

Martial Science now explain politics. Politics is all about run country, decide issue of rich and poor, who opinion win and who opinion lose. To explain politics, Sifu use three example of Democracy, Fascism, and Socialism. Democracy is idea that everyone have equal right to opinion, but that most popular opinion always win. Fascism is idea that there only one opinion, and everyone who disagree is wrong. Socialism idea that people should work together for good of all, not just for personal gain. It not so concerned what people think or like, only what them do.

Democracy come from ancient Greeks, where every city decide on laws based on vote. In first democracy, only rich Greeks allowed to vote. It take many, many years, maybe thousands of years, for Democracy idea to develop until everyone, even very poor, have right to vote and affect decisions of law in him country. Not everyone happy under Democracy; people who lose vote still got to go along with new laws. People who approve of old laws not allowed ignore new ones. Word "Anarchy" is also political system of belief. Anarchy not mean chaos; Anarchist is man who believe everybody must find consensus before make law; everybody must agree, or law no good and Anarchist do as him please. Democracy root cause for many advance in human thought and lifestyle, such as abolition of slavery and equal rights for women.

Problem with democracy; democracy very complicated to organize because it one strange idea. It not natural to human way of think. Normal way of think is to want own way over other man way; man must use intellect and reason for to see that sometimes other man way alright too. Democracy make big effort organize complex systems make sure everybody opinion heard. It get too complex, become dull and boring to ordinary people, people who then vote based on opinion about politicians rather than real issue at stake. Democracy become popularity contest, or argument about opinion; Democracy not infallible because it assume majority opinion always best all the time. Martial Science say there no one best way to do anything; there is only way that works and way that does not. So far, Democracy work okay, but that not mean it best.

Fascism is based on Roman idea; Ancient Romans use symbol of straw to illustrate tactics. One piece of straw is weak and easy broken, but big bundle many straws together is strong, hard to break. So far, this good Martial Science, but Fascism go on to say that all people should be the same. Martial Science disagree, say nature make people of all colors and shapes all over the whole world; nature not right or wrong, and natural people all different cultures and languages. No one culture best, no one culture worst, just as no one fighting style win every time no matter what. Fascism answer is to make opinion true by oppress and then exterminate all people who disagree. Fascism look for world where everyone is blond with blue eyes, no black or oriental, no variation at all, just all the same. In Fascism, everyone must agree or go to prison; no one have any say at all except man at the top; one man, one vote, and that man him, no question. Reason Fascism popular is that it is easy idea, simple for everyone. Martial Science show us that people want them own way pretty much all the time; idea that one man opinion is best very easy to understand. Reality is that things not always simple enough for one man decide alone and always be right. Fascist leaders famous for go mad from stress and ego of always have to be right, from Roman Emperors all the way to Hitler; them go bonkers more often than not, and this cast doubt on validity of Fascism as sensible way to run world.

Socialism is idea encompass many different opinion; most Socialist agree democracy good start. Socialist say everyone have right to job and food and house; Socialism say everyone have right to live in peace and have doctor when get sick. Socialism say name not better because him richer, man not better because him father famous. Socialism say all people valuable the same. Fascism say everyone worth nothing alone, only worthwhile people is whole lot of people; Socialism say one person just as deserving as whole bunch of everyone else. Socialism say people basically good and have right to their own opinions. So why Socialism unpopular? For start, Socialism even more complex idea than Democracy; not just idea that everyone equal, but that man who have much should give it away to man who have little. This one strange idea, hard to understand, make people angry think them going to lose house and car and big bank account if Socialist ever get him way. This idea made up by people like king and baron, people who live in mansion and castle, people with ten car and own private jet, who control 90% of all money in the whole world. These people lose very bad under Socialism, them have to go back and be normal folks again, but them so rich and special them use money to make Socialism sound like worst idea in all of history. Martial Science say this only human nature; man with much not give it away unless him very wise and enlightened. Wise and enlightened man very rare; men not so wise are scared to lose what them have, scared of Socialism because it such a strange idea that peoples could all live together without greed or fighting.

Sifu Dansac only Kung-Fu master, him only speak what him observe from world all around. Him not pretend to have all the answers; Martial Science teach him questions require deep thought. Only thing certain is that Martial Science not about how fight war; Martial Science about how not fight war but live in peace. Until then, Sifu Dansac continue to work hard from his secret base under Thames River in London, training Ninja in ways of Martial Science, Kung-Fu, and Oriental Mystery. When world more enlightened, maybe Sifu live under banyan tree and write poems about Zen.

Kobudo weapon style; you not likely meet Kobudo in street, but maybe have friend who like to play with sword and nunchuks, so Sifu teach you how to win anyway, just in case. Listen good Laui; just because Kobudo man use weapon, don't mean him can't fight unarmed. Kobudo man sneaky with it too; him pick up things from floor and throw small weapons at you in middle of fight. Him throw knives and shuriken while doing fancy stuff with nunchuks. If you lucky, him throw rubber knives so you not get hurt, but him still throw stuff at you and hide spare weapons in him karate suit. If him offer you weapon to make fair fight, him definitely going to cheat somehow, so you watch out! Best way deal with Kobudo man; ignore weapon, go straight at him, get inside range, tie up him arms without bother about disarm. Him fight by special secret; him let you worry about weapon while him plan how to punch and kick in between whacks with nunchuks. Only way is to be brave, to ignore him fancy weapon tricks and punch him in the face. That right, Laui, right in the face. No one like that, except maybe boxer; Kobudo man really don't like it, so you punch him the face again, then kick in balls and sweep feet away, put him down and stomp on him, kick weapon away, not let him get it back. Watch out for sneaky weapons Kobudo man carry; when him go for knife or other thing like that, then you pounce and introduce him face to the floor. That right Laui; strike like angry mosquito! Bite him and don't let go, or him swat you good with nunchuks and you all splat and broken, and Sifu know you don't want that at all. Best way not fight with Kobudo man; him got weapon, it totally unfair; no way beat him without you risk kneecaps and teeth, maybe rib and elbows too. Buy him drink instead and maybe him teach you fancy trick or two.

Listen close Laui, and understand; Karate is mid-range style, very good for punch and kick, not so good for grapple close or jump from far away. Karate man want you right at perfect range, where him can kick hard and punch straight. Him straight punch keep you at right range; him try to knock you back and forth like yo-yo, from punch to kick and so on, until you all battered and woozy; then him smack you in the head and kick you feet away, punch you in balls and stomp on you face. You not want that happen, Laui, so you listen Sifu Dansac; if you good kicker, you jump in and out, knock Karate man silly from distance, but this risky; Karate man good at catch high kick, especially axe kick. You use axe-kick on Karate man, him duck inside, catch you kick over shoulder and take feet away. Then you down on floor, Laui, while him stamping on your nuts. Better get in close, take him kick and punch, get to him side or better behind and grab him firm. Get good grip, then start smack him upside the head, under the ribs, into the kidneys, not let him get away from you. Him not know what to do if you grapple with him. Don't grab wrist or front of shirt; Karate man know how to escape. Just keep hold on him shoulder, keep to side and back of him, where him punch and kick can't get you. That right Laui; crafty sidewinder snake tie up strong lion with sneaky sideways windings.
