PUBLISHER´S MESSAGE mit of the martial arts. When I draw attention to my own errors, at once, I engaged in a battle to better up such improper posture; from that moment on, there was not a minute in my life, be it awake or put to sleep, which I did not make good use of to progress and surpass my own self; and this revelation was not given by any master but in dreams, as from the stars.
HOW DID THE FIGHTER’S EGO DIE? There is a moment on the practice of martial arts, in which the practitioner feels untouchable, his inner being is absolutely full of power; at times, he feels even on top of his own master, and looks at him upon his shoulder; he might feel superior to everyone around him. The acid test of the martial artist begins right here; it is here where a true Budoka shows up. The truth is that, after one wins 100 or 200 combats and proves the easy application of the techniques by one’s own experience, a gentle reliability inundates one’s being and the ego of the practitioner begins to grow; he stars to visualize thousands of illusory matters; but, one day, the least expected event will happen, and those illusions will kill you. I also fought against my ego once; I struggled against my inner demon, which made me failed to the real sum4
Been away on one of my seminars, I had a dream, which I believed could be a nightmare for some people; but, I rather looked into it as the sweet teaching that cuts off the ego’s illusion once and for all. I dreamt of the place where a fighter grows, an unorganized place, full of people with different personality traits, a very noisy place which used to get noisier after every combat; of course, there were also cigarettes’ smoke, alcoholic breathing and sweat smell. I was one of the instructors on the right corner guiding the major height and weight fighter; it was then, that a man came and ordered me to end the combat, he set up that there was an unbalanced weight and height and that it might be against the established fighting rules, so, it would be better to stop the combat. I agreed, and I headed towards the fighters to inform them; but, something unexpected happened; the fighter on the opposite corner started to yell at me, he even pushed me; from that moment on, my ego started to operate and with a reckless face, I inquired him if he knew who I was, I also asked him if he wanted to fight with me. I made him know we will do it without any protection; I only claimed to fight on one’s own; hand to hand, and he accepted. His eyes were red of rage and expressed his wish for defeating me. His gaze revealed that he not only wanted to physically damage me, but to end with my prestige and honor. Immediately, he pulled out his gloves and the fight started. I was absolutely self-reliant and calmed, I gleamed by the first punches using graceful and timely movements; I looked like a bullfighter against the beast.
But as inexplicable as death, as quick as a lighting, and as real as my suffering my rhythm stopped, I noticed that my hand was full of fecal grounds, I looked to my stomach and the scarf of an old surgery was completely opened, I could see my insides perforated. Then, I felt how I declined; I smoothly watched how things moved away, I turned my head right and left, and I saw and unending sea of blood around me, and my opponent was there, making fun, pointing, and shouting at me; and then, I collapsed. From that very instant, I only remembered a few things about my dream, but I have blunt remarks of my Sempai’s face, my boy came closer, he took my hand; and my last thought was “Have fun, follow the road” it was addressed to him. After this, my eyes closed forever.
Martial arts are neither combat nor techniques to kill; they are a great deal more; to me as to many other people, they are the cure for the soul. It is Zen Buddhism motion; it is the betterment of one’s mind, heart and spirit.
“Who is Masutatsu Oyama? Who am I? I am not a person with a great ability for leadership, neither a business man nor a politician. So, Who am I? I am a Bugeisha, someone who fights wherever it might be, all the time. I am a person who only trains budo; but, a skillful gunman turns weak when he gets old, and a horse cannot be good forever. So, what does a Bugeisha do when he finds someone stronger than him?”...
When I opened my eyes and realized that nothing had happened, that I was not death; I felt that something inside me had changed forever, something had happened inside me. I immediately remembered Sosai Masutatsu Oyama’s speech, where he confessed that in the middle of the night, he had Perhaps you don’t find the necessary literary chahad a period of analysis and self-criticism. racter on this essay, it may even sound nonsense to “Who is Masutatsu Oyama?

Jackie Chan Talks Rush Hour 4 and Drunken Master 3
“We’ve been talking about Drunken Master 3 for a long time but nobody can write the script” he explained when the subject turned to sequels. “Drunken Master 1 I teach drinking, fighting, drinking, fighting and the audience liked it. Everybody ‘Ha, ha, ha.’ But then I grew up and realised I’m wrong. I send out the wrong message. I have to make Part 2 to tell the audience ‘Don’t drink! Don’t fight!’ I have to correct myself. All those years slowly correct everything. “So what about Part 3? Part 2 I already tell people ‘Don’t drink! Don’t fight!’ When I was making The Karate Kid, when Jaden Smith was training, I was sitting there, then I looked at myself and realised this is Drunken Master 3. Now I’m becoming the master. And Jaden becomes Jackie Chan. 6
“I believe after Drunken Master 2 – stop – better than we make no more. Unless we have a better script. Just like lately they want to make Rush Hour 4. I said ‘No, show me the script first. I don’t need another Rush Hour 4. You need Rush Hour 4. Show me the script.’ I don’t want to do a rubbish script just because they want to make the movie.” Source: www.ign.com

Martial-Arts and Action-movie legends Cynthia Rothrock known to you as the “Lady Dragon”, and Don Wilson come together for the action packed movie
The Martial Arts Kid.
F
ocusing on the pair, who play an aunt an uncle, they take in an unruly and troubled young relative to their Florida beach town after the death of his mother. Soon, in an effort to channel his anger and rage, they begin to teach him martial arts. When troubled teen Robbie moves to Cocoa Beach, Florida from Detroit after his grandmother has had enough of his antics, he soon realizes that everywhere he goes there is somebody who doesn’t want him to be happy… and in Cocoa Beach, that somebody is Bo Whitelaw, the toughest and most popular guy at the high school. From the moment Bo gives Robbie a beatdown in front of Rina (the prettiest girl in school), we know Robbie’s chances of living in a happy neighborhood are just not realistic. To help Robbie stand a chance of survival in a dangerous teen world, his estranged Aunt Cindy and Uncle Glen (played by action legends Cynthia “Lady Dragon” Rothrock and Don “The Dragon” Wilson) are there to coach and train Robbie. Along the way, Robbie learns defensive skills that will give him a chance to defend himself… But will that be enough to protect himself from Bo in an all-out epic battle?
And will Robbie ever be ‘the man’ in Rina’s eyes? Find out when everything comes to a head in a final showdown that pits legends of traditional martial arts against MMA fighters in a battle you will. OCTOBER/2014

From 1981 to 1985 Cynthia Rothrock was the undefeated World Karate Champion in both forms and weapons competitions. She is one of the only individuals to be inducted into both the Black Belt Hall of Fame and Inside Kung- Fu Hall of Fame. Catching the attention of Hong Kong-based Golden Harvest Productions, they casted Rothrock as kung-fu queen Michelle Yeoh in 1985’s box office hit Yes, Madam. She also stared in both of the China O’Brien films as China O’Brien. Rothrock spent five years in Hong Kong, becoming one of the few Caucasian performers to achieve genuine stardom in seven films. She is now staring in the Martial Arts Kid as Cindy.

Teachings of the Budha Releasing the Cows (Told by Master Thich Nhat Hanh)
O
ne day the Buddha was sitting in the wood with thirty or forty monks. They had an excellent lunch and they were enjoying the company of each other. There was a farmer passing by and the farmer was very unhappy. He asked the Buddha and the monks whether they had seen his cows passing by. The Buddha said they had not seen any cows passing by. The farmer said, “Monks, I’m so unhappy. I have twelve cows and I don’t know why they all ran away. I have also a few acres of a sesame seed plantation and the insects have eaten up everything. I suffer so much I think I am going to kill myself. The Buddha said, “My friend, we have not seen any cows passing by here. You might like to look for them in the other direction.” So the farmer thanked him and ran away, and the Buddha turned to his monks and said, “My dear friends, you are the happiest people in the world. You don’t have any cows to lose. If you have too many cows to take care of, you will be very busy. “That is why, in order to be happy, you have to learn the art of cow releasing (laughter). You release the cows one by one. In the beginning you thought that those cows were essential to your happiness, and you tried to get more and more cows. But now you realize that cows are not really conditions for your happiness; they constitute an obstacle for your happiness. That is why you are determined to release your cows.”

Traditional Vs Progressive Martial Arts,
Why Not Both? By: Sifu Justin Cataldi Photos by: Henry Binerfa
By Sifu Justin Cataldi
In a time in the evolution of martial arts where mixed martial martial arts I thought I would offer my perspective to you. In arts has shown it can be a force to be respected, the debate 1985 I started training in Tibetan Lama Kung Fu under Sifu Stewhether traditional martial arts works or has validity rages on. ve Greenbaum , as a 14 year old boy that grew up on Bruce Lee movies , Kung Fu was amazing to me. Does a particular technique or training method work in the ring or on the streets and why . Do the rules of the ring hinder Sifu Steve and his group where all from Chicago so they were a traditional practitioner or should he/she be able to function a rough group , but very friendly and willing to help a new anyway if his/her training is sound ? Is there a end all , beat all student learn. style or technique that is infinitely superior ? With many valid perspectives, it can be difficult to figure out. One day after a hard sparring session , I still had my gear on and one of the grown men in the group came over to me and As a lifetime practitioner of both traditional and progressive whacked me in the head , laughing and proclaiming how my 20
opponent hit me similarly . One of the senior students that had been coaching me at the time , my good friend and big bro Rejj , came over and whispered “ Hey man , you gonna let him do that to you ? “ He was half joking but at the same time it was somewhat daring . Being a bit of a wild kid back then, a dare was all it took . I looked Rejj right in the eye and confidently proclaimed, “ No ! “. So I walked up to the grown man who smacked me while he was still laughing and jabbed him in the face. He stared at me in amazement and yelled out “ GIVE ME SOME GLOVES!! “ I must admit I was scared ! Especially because I was new and had only practiced center line defenses and a jab as a counter . Now I am squared off with a pissed off grown up , and I am real nervous . I found to my surprise that everytime he tried to hit me , my centerline would divert his attack leaving his face open for my jab . We repeated this 5 times , at which point he had given up either to fatigue or he was just tired of getting jabbed in the face.
That was the first time I felt traditional martial arts work against an uncooperative opponent intent on really going full power and trying to clobber me . In the early 90s I was training with Dave Howard , at that time they were training in Brazilain Jiu Jitsu and kickboxing as well as some Kali and Jeet Kune Do . I saw how they were able to easily defeat traditional practitioners with mma , especially on the ground , and I started to think that mma was the best way to go. In the late 90s I was very fortunate to start training with Guro Rich Lamoureaux ,first in BJJ and Kickboxing and later in Kali/ JKD & Sifu Jack Soderberg who taught me Kickboxing , Tibetan Lama Kung Fu , Tai Chi and Mook Jong wooden dummy training . With my mind kind of stuck on mma, being the unbeatable new thing , something really cool happened to my perspective. These two awsome instructors had a full and complete understanding of not only mma but traditional as well , and the

fighters they produced ( including myself ) all did well in competitions , whether they were mma or traditional competitions . I started to realize that all techniques can be valid and effective in the right circumstances , and under different circumstances would not be valid or effective at all. Now in 2014, Im seeing some fighters without not only the fundamentals that traditional martial arts teaches us, but I dont see the RESPECT , which is the core of traditional training . Is who wins or loses more important than our spiritual , mental , & physical growth ? After all, what is mma without traditional techniques?
fighting but also for lifes journey in every way , as a person. Of course there are schools that focus more on money and business and lose sight of the art itself , but dont blame the style, blame the practitioner . Its not the style but the man/woman behind it that makes it work.
Of course I havent even gotten into the street aspect , where weapons and multiple attackers are entered into the picture . Now kickboxing or grappling might be the mistake of a lifetime and I personally preferr a Kung Fu/Kali/JKD approach , whichwould apply the use of eye jabs , throat, knee and groin attacks and of course, the use of my own weapons.

Anderson Sylva was a traditional Muay Thai practitioner as well as traditional Brazilian Jiu Jitsu . Randy Couture was a traditional Boxer and Greco Roman wrestler.

WHAT DO YOU TEACH? I teach the Art of Kajukenbo - Hawaiian Street Fighting or Polynesian fighting arts. “Street fighting” actually hits the nail on the head. It’s America’s original MMA. It began in 1947 Honolulu, Hawaii and consists of a combination of Karate, Judo, Jujitsu, Kenpo, Kung Fu. Over the years I have added other techniques generously taught to me by my brother and sister martial arts professionals. These additions were not impetuously learned or added - I took a great deal of time to explore, understand, and train these techniques, understanding how they fit into the core martial arts training that I originally received. In my opinion, one art is not better than another. All arts are equally valuable. WHAT IS YOUR TEACHING?
PHILOSOPHY
to help him succeed, how much more does a beginner need such a team? I believe in this very strongly. I want to nurture my students. This isn’t about volume or maximizing my income, this is about people, and it’s about Ohana. A lot of people use Ohana as a catch phrase, but I take that term extremely seriously and live my life by it.
OF
Based on what I learned from Kajukenbo and Sijo Bruce Lee and his ideals: “Absorb what is useful. Discard what is not. Add what is uniquely your own.” While still teaching tradition, the goal is to ultimately make the training realistic. I believe the training should evolve to reflect the times, this way an art will never become obsolete, or even worse, irrelevant. Arts are meant to be shared with students and other schools. It is necessary and I would say, beneficial, to get the intermediate and advanced students involved in teaching. This way they become even more proficient and they allow the students to continue to receive competent and individual attention. The reality is that no single teacher can do everything alone. An instructor is not an island. If I have a student, I build a team around that student so they feel as though they have an entire coaching staff helping them with their every need. If someone like Manny Pacquaio needs a team around him OCTOBER/2014

PHILOSOPHY
come better than me. I prefer to keep my classes small, because I’ve realized in large classes there are often people that don’t receive enough attention and come away with the memory of a bad experience. I would never want that to happen. I want every student to get the maximum benefit from every single class they attend. This is why I run smaller classes in a semi-private setting, spending equal time with each individual student. I want to understand how each individual student learns, thinks, and evolves. And I want to pass that attention to detail on to my advanced students and dedicated black belt instructors. This can be difficult to replicate in large schools, unless they have enough help from other instructors. Once again, I run a small school and like it that way. My students through the years have commented that I have a uniquely positive, can-do attitude that helps
them truly believe they can accomplish their goals. I try to be very approachable, downto-earth, available for discussing anything the student wants to talk about, with no subjects off limits. Mind you, I am not a Psychologist and will never pretend to be one. If a students wants to tell me how I can improve their training experience I am happy to listen. I was taught from the beginning to be humble, and have learned that doing so improves everyone’s experience in training. Some people are intimidated by the training process, and I work to allay their fears and help them feel confident. This opens them up to all the possibilities in training and positions them for long-term success inside and outside the dojo. We’re going to laugh a lot, and we’re going to learn a lot! We are Ohana

I have tremendous admiration and respect for Grandmaster Pete Morales: he was there when I needed a father figure, he instilled a deep sense of honor and respect, and continues to do so to this day, despite the fact that he is semi-retired from martial arts.

A Travelling Ronin Northshore Academy of Martial Arts (NSA)
By: Martin “Travelling Ronin” Fransham BACKGROUND: I found myself at Northshore Academy of Martial Arts (NSA) courtesy of a friend of mine, Randy Siordia. Randy and I got connected through social media, and he invited me to come see what NSA did. When I pulled into the parking lot I saw what looked to be a small school sandwiched in a strip mall. Having trained in plenty of small schools, apartments and parks this wasn’t a problem for me. However, when I opened the door, I realised that the school stretched much further back and this was anything other than a small school.
to participate in the three programs being offered that evening. It was going to be an evening of Muay Thai, Jun Fan Jeet Kune Do and Krav Maga which meant I was going to get pushed to my limit. What makes Northshore Academy a great place to train is that Head Instructor Marc Halleck has acquired a fantastic staff to back him up. Each class is taught by a well trained, experienced instructor with the other instructors participating in the class to prevent “instructor fatigue.” Instructor fatigue isn’t often considered but having travelled around the continent I can tell you greatly effects a class. When instructors get tired they stop engaging

their class, the pace slows down and the class is generally disorganized. Whether or not you are even cognisant of it when you get tired and sloppy as a teacher your class sees it and soon they go somewhere else. The way Northshore Academy is structured prevents this. Whether it was intentional or not, it provides a great environment that is full of energy to learn from. WHAT DID I LEARN: Between the three classes I learned a ton of new tips to bring up my techniques. Certainly the class that I learned “most” from was the Jeet Kune Do/ Jun Fan stick fighting. We hopped straight into double sticks and I had to get my coordination down. I have always favoured certain sides when fighting or sparring. While fighting with my hands I almost always fight left leg in front switching when I did Historical European Martial Arts I brought right leg forward. Suddenly, I had to contend with ambidextrous drills and was pushed to get my body into alignment to intercept strikes using either leg.
As a fighter it is great to get pushed outside your comfort zone. Having to switch sides and compensate for that discomfort is something that every fighter should go through. When I was competing I can tell you that I was constantly trying to stay in my comfort zone while pushing my opponent from his. Largely, I was very successful. However, despite this there were times that I was pushed well outside where I wanted. Being able to adapt is critical in these situations and I really felt doing the Jun Fan helps develop those skills. WHAT WAS AWESOME: I really enjoyed the approach to the Muay Thai and Krav Maga. During the Muay Thai class we worked on range drills. As a tall guy I love fighting at a distance and making use of my long limbs, however, this in itself wasn’t special. What made the drill amazing was the instructor teaching it was a ‘swarm fighter” meaning he likes to get in close and overwhelm opponents with close range techniques. Regardless, he realised that every fighter is different and needs to develop their own skills.

I am reminded that in a real fight my hand would be gone.
I have met many instructors that don’t teach to the student and rather teach to themselves. They understand what made them good and that is all they teach. The problem with teaching this way OCTOBER/2014

is that it confines you to an incredibly small set of experiences. Even teachers that have fought in competitions, former police officers, soldiers, etc.. have only seen a tiny number of scenarios when weighed against the collective experience of the many. Any successful fighting program, whether competitive or reality-based, leverages multiple coaches and experiences. George St. Pierre, one of the best ever MMA fighters, has trained with Olympic wrestlers, fight teams in Montreal, New Mexico and Brazil, etc... to broaden his experiences. Krav Maga & Jeet Kune Do both have been excellent about grabbing as many resources as they can. It was great to see the NSA embraced this and keeps growing instead of being locked in its own self-aggrandizing static glory.
always keep thinking as the situation progressed. Reminding fighters to constantly re-evaluate the situation and keep their use of force to within acceptable limits is very important. Sometimes I will see people get caught up in the fantasy of a Martial Art and forget that the world is an extremely diverse place. The acceptable techniques are extremely different if you are an Israeli soldier in the West Bank or a civilian at a party in Chicago. It was great to see an instructor emphasize this.

The other thing I really liked was the way the Krav Maga was handled. Guro Marc Halleck drilled us not only on technique but on the legal ramifications of our actions. All to often I will see instructors teaching that they need to “end the fight” without thinking about how the fight must be ended or the consequences. Marc Halleck coached us to
CONCLUSION: Northshore Academy of Martial Arts is a great place to train. From their reliance on multiple instructors to keep the classes fresh to their breakdown of sportive and self-defence programs I had a great time. It was great to see an academy that acknowledges all the aspects of Martial Arts. Best regards and keep training, Martin “Travelling Ronin” Fransham

Active Flexibility. Exercise Guide 1

Greetings to all Martial Science readers; this is the closing section of the flexibility training we have been publishing lately; but we have to bear in mind that the exercises on passive flexibility have not been covered yet, for there is a great variety of exercises under the category of flexibility. So, I will take a linking to continue to deepen on the development of this important physical capacity by providing my practitioners and all the persons concerned with two new volumes entitled: Flexibility Training: Exercise Guide
We start from a sitting position with open legs as much as we can (Photo-1), we take the right ankle and flex the trunk forward to try to bring our chest to our leg, then do the center (Foto2), and left leg (Photo-3)

MASSAGES IN MARTIAL ARTS Kioshi Federico Dinatale 46
THE MEDICINE WARRIOR-Massages in martial arts
Currently, it becomes difficult to find time to meet our inner beings, since we take a lot of responsibilities on oneself, and it turns almost impossible to relax by listening to some music or to go for a walk; So, the practice of massage is the perfect way to connect ourselves and find a balance between us and our souls; so that, we get to know the machine which guides our sensations, emotions and experiences. The massage operates as a discharge that helps you to get rid of all the stressful situations you accumulate, and from other daily responsibilities. By means of the body we can experiment different sensations and thoughts; Sensei Shugendo used to say at (Junan-Taiso) lessons that “A
flexible body is a flexible mind”, for all corporal attitudes and sensations will move forward a similar mental state; if our bodies are rigid, it is likely that our minds turn rigid too, in short. It means that we can establish a mental, spiritual and physical balance by means of massage.

especially on the area of Taigeiko (Bioenergetics gymnastics) the use of massage techniques with martial motions appeared, these techniques are aimed at relieving tension, and to make energy flows through different parts of the practitioner’s body. JAPANESE KNOWLEDGE Shiatsu or Japanese massage emerged from the millennial traditional Chinese medicine. This alternative or complementary therapy is based upon the application of some pressure to the energetic dots that cover the body to balance its energy. It helps to relax, potentiates the lymphatic system, fortifies the nervous system and raises vitality. Shiatsu emerged about a hundred year ago, its antecedents can be found on the Chinese method called Anma it literally means to pressure-to rub and to remove-to call. Lately, the Japanese set the bases for its technique and treatment. Based upon the concepts Ho (To provide with energy) and Sha (to remove energy), this alternative therapy is used to canalize the flow of energy that goes through the body. To carry out this technique it becomes necessary to press some crucial points located all through the body. These energy channels coincide with the ones established by the traditional Chinese medicine to set up the bases of their millennial acupuncture.
Opposed to conventional massage Shiatsu operates upon the energy points of the Chinese acupuncture to combine the flow of vital energy through the body. Like any other muscular technique, it provides relaxation and frees tensions. It also strengthens the lymphatic system, stimulates the process of detoxification of the organism, tones up the nerve system and calls on to recover the vital tone from the everyday stressful situations. Its effects can also be seen in people with circulatory disorders. Every session lasts about an hour. The patient must lie downward to start the massage. It begins by the upper part of the back and gets down towards the legs following the meridian points. Then, the body is turned to one side and goes up to the hips, the abdomen, and the lateral area of the thorax. Finally, the patient faces upward and the masseur works from top to bottom to conclude on the front part of the foot Seitai emerged by the forties, it was created by Haruchika Noguchi (Japan1909-1976). The human body needs a steady balance and expresses its necessities when the mind or the body gets to a limit of fatigue and we automatically yawn. We close our eyes and pull out our countenance muscles so that it shows our tiredness and boredom. Such manifestations are closely related to the need to find a balance; a healthy body shows inner elasticity, it means that it is able to contract and relax easily.
THE MASSAGE AND THE MARTIAL ARTIST The method of the massage raises the capacity to work and the muscles’ strength, it makes the muscles to get fit for all kind of work; at the same time, it turns a good practice to prevent from several injure that may happen during the training sessions. The main techniques of martial hand massage are the following: friction, rubbing, hammering, and clapping. It generally starts and ends with rubbing to prepare the body for other techniques. The preliminary massage starts about 10 or 20 minute before the training session or the competitions. Its objective is to get the body functions to the top. In some cases, the massage avoids the casual cooling of the body; in others, it lightens the practitioners stress before the combats start. There is also martial recovery massage; it is carried out after the competitions; in the interlude or after the training sessions. It is intended to revive the practitioner’s capacity to work, and to remove stress. Besides, it helps to reduce muscular pain and standardizes breathing. A good massage relieves muscular pain and activates circulatory functions by reducing the toxic waste the body. It has been tested that it also improves people’s spirit. During the practice of Bugeiko the Chinese concept of vital energy is studied for it si closely related to the concept of universal energy. When a junan (flexibility) exercise is developed a blockade on the energy channels may occur, some discomfort on specific areas of the body is the outcome. Energy blockades might be avoided by a massage technique joined with a flexibility motion; it is necessary to press with the fingers, so that the Ying – Yang forces meet their balance in continuos movements, as in a weighing machine.
