What is Matrix Martial Arts?
It’s time to explain what Matrixing is.
I know a lot of you guys and gals understand this already,
but the newsletter grows
and it is time to describe matrixing and what it does
for all the new guys and gals.
You go to a strange land where miracles occur.
The people are strong and healthy,
and life does exactly what they want it to.
You ask their secret.
No one can tell you,
but they do tell you that the secret is in a book called
‘Secrets of the Universe’
Where is this so-called ‘Secrets of the Universe?’
In the library.
You walk into the library looking for
‘Secrets of the Universe,’
Unfortunately,
that library doesn’t have the Dewey Decimal system.
Books have been thrown in a pile for hundreds of years.
There are MILLIONS of books.
Unfortunately.
none of them have covers.
So you sit in that library for the rest of your life,
opening and closing books,
looking for the one that has all the Secrets of the Universe.
Unfortunately,
you die before you find it.
Curse this library for not having the Dewey Decimal system.
Okay,
you decide to study the martial arts,
you sign up,
go to class,
and spend years studying everything you can.
Unfortunately,
there is no dewey decimal system inside your head.
You can’t decide when to use which technique,
the techniques of the various systems all blend together,
there is no way to tell which technique is bogus,
and which technique really works.
Like the books of that far away library,
your techniques are piled haphazardly
without any way to reference them,
without anyway to access them specifically.
One day you get in a fight,
you can’t pick out which technique to use,
you hesitate,
and somebody cleans your clock.
Curse your head for not having a ‘Dewey Decimal’ system.
Matrixing is the Dewey Decimal system of the martial arts.
It makes every move make sense.
It puts all the techniques in order,
it gives you the right reasons for stances,
the right drills to make your moves fit together.
It gives you…
INTUITION!
Now,
here’s the funny thing…
it used to be,
several decades ago,
when the martial arts were fresh to the shores,
that martial art systems did create intuition.
But those were what we call CCS,
‘Closed Combat Systems.’
They had been put together over generations,
over hundreds of years,
and they had been made workable
and honed to a state of perfection.
But look at what has happened to the MA
in the last few decades.
People put aside workable techniques for tournament fighting.
People gave up workable forms
to learn forms that didn’t work,
in the name of nationalism.
Arts were restructured to make them easier to sell.
Belt systems came into vogue.
Concepts that were once easy to understand
became confused, abused, and forgotten.
I tell you right now,
I began MA in 1967.
I saw what was taught,
and it DOES NOT resemble at all,
what is taught today.
Or,
perhaps I should say,
what is taught today
does not look one whit
like what was taught back then.
Kids are taught to fight,
and the way to intuitive movement has been put aside.
Students are entertained,
and discipline,
such as I was subjected to back then,
does not exist.
Teachers take seminars
and then think they can teach the whole art
of that seminar.
Teachers put arts together,
the better to advertise,
and what they have synthesized…
DOES NOT WORK!
And on and on and on.
What matrixing does is
put the techniques in order,
eliminate useless techniques,
get rid of all the extra crap
that has been stuffed into the MA.
If I gave you 3, 8, green, 9, 2, and a turkey,
could you count to ten?
Fifty years ago there were CCS arts
and somehow they worked,
and you could count to ten.
Only take you 15 or 20 years.
Nowadays,
every system is filled with excess crap,
bunches of systems all mixed together,
concepts that not only don’t work,
but actually oppose each other.
Most systems cannot teach intuition.
They can’t teach that mystical state knopwn as
Mushin No Shin
(Mind of No Mind)
let alone what it is
or how to make it work.
But people,
because they can ‘fight good,’
think they are intuitive.
Nope.
There is virtually no intuition in today’s martial arts.
now way to read minds
and see what somebody is going to do
before they do it.
Intuition has been forgotten.
People don’t know it,
people heart about it,
but nobody experiences it,
and nobody teaches it.
So Matrixing changes that.
It teaches you how to count to 10 in the martial arts.
It puts the techniques in order,
logical order,
and intuition starts to creep in.
And it creeps in fast,
faster than even the old CCS methods.
A person who has a couple of years experience
can gain intuition,
as fast as he reads the material,
for to read about matrixing
is to absorb it.
A person with little or no experience
is still going to have to do the work,
but even that will take less and less time.
And,
here is the juice.
Once the mind has accepted a logical system,
a matrixed system,
the mind starts to become matrixed.
Other subjects fall to the intuitive logic
that is matrixing.
One walks into confusing situations
and the confusion just leaves.
There is no debris in the mind
distracting and disturbing.
THE MIND LIKES THAT WHICH IS SIMPLE AND LOGICAL
And the door opens to a new you.
An intuitive you,
a you that can absorb MA systems
literally ten times faster.
Your mind has just been matrixed.
So that is what matrixing is…
and what it does.
I’ve got over 600 pages of wins,
people telling me how matrixing has changed their art,
and changed them.
Since 1984,
when I first went into the mail order business,
which is the pre-runner of the internet biz,
I have had only four returns.
I have never had anybody
claim it doesn’t work,
or that it was wrong in some way.
Look,
don’t believe me,
I’m not even going to try to sell you on all this,
simply click on the link and read a few of the testimonials.
Have a great work out!

Here’s a win I received a few years ago…
A WIN!
Master Case,
I purchased your Matrix Core Course last October and it’s truly amazing and revolutionary material, it’s taken me months to complete, and it covers a lot of martial arts ground.
Then I purchased the Matrix Master Text and it blew my mind even further out. It helped me understand the core material even better.
I have never paid so much for a PDF download file in my life, but after opening that eBook, and reading it, I realized how much time and energy you really put into your Matrixing work. Your core course and the master text are worth a lot more than what I paid, you have by far over delivered by redeeming my time spent in the martial arts and saving me all that scratching on my head for the coming years ahead.
I will never see the martial arts the same way again. After over 20 years in the martial arts studying Judo, Jujitsu, Hapkido, Kenpo, Tang So Do, and Taekwondo, I have learned more in these past 11 months, than I have in my entire martial arts career.
Thanks!
Elmer G
