The Three Analogies of Matrix Martial Arts


To understand Matrixing one must understand that Matrix Martial Arts is a technology. It is a logical way of thinking applied to martial disciplines such as kenpo, Tae Kwon Do or whatever. The good news is that the effects of logic on the martial arts are beneficial.

Matrixing is important because the oral tradition of learning the martial arts has resulted in thoroughly mixed up styles of the arts. People spend inordinate amounts of time learning random strings of data, but this leaves vast areas of unexplored technique. The random strings of data thus become hard to extract from the mind for use, and martial intuition takes decades to cultivate, if it ever is.

The first analogy of matrixing is a numerical one. Learning an art, be it aikido or kung fu or whatever, was like trying to learn how to count when you had no 2, 4 was upside, 7 is put before 1, which is inverted, and there were no more numbers except...what is that shaved dog doing in there? Matrixing presents the numerical system as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9...and then anybody can find 10, and 11, and so on.

The second analogy of Matrixing is a linguistic one. Using Matrix Technology results in faster speed of learning, and this because there is an alphabet, and even phonics to construct your art from. The martial arts can then be developed with techniques as individual words, forms as sentences, and whole systems as textbooks.

The third analogy of Matrixing is a simple three dimensional model of all the arts. With Matrixing, you see, you can establish the geometry of each art, and matrix that geometry for all potentials of motions, and, literally, define each art on separate sheets of paper. One then merely places the sheets of paper in a box.

Thus, the individual arts are defined conceptually, and a student can change arts simply by selecting the right sheet of paper from the cube. This puts all the martial methods in a specific and logical order. Depth of art then is not mysterious and difficult to understand, but rather a straightforward process of descending through the layers of arts, through correctly ordered and inter-related geometries.

Several things happen when one breaks through to this level of matrixing. Intuition kicks in hard and fast. Students learn faster, for the mind will not reject simple concepts when they are presented in the right order.

Of course, students are different, and how much matrixing it is going to take is a variable. A high number of students make the breakthrough on the first course, a few students need all the courses, and there are going to be one or two students who are going to need all the courses...and a kick in the pants besides. However much matrixing it takes for the martial mind to kick in and take off, and for the student to enjoy all those fabulous, advanced abilities that students of the True Art enjoy, the journey is well worth it.
