The Logic of Matrixed Martial Arts…

Posted on April 6, 2025 | 1 comment

Researching the Matrix of Martial Arts!

Since I recently dropped my martial arts newsletter
and do only this martial arts blog
I decided I should go over the concept
behind matrixing.

Before we start…subscribe for these free blogs.

First,
I selected the name for Monster Martial Arts
because i really liked the old TV show,
Monster Garage.
They took cars and put them together
to create original concept cars.
Houseboat cars,
Cars that returned golf balls,
etcetera.
I was doing something original
and creative with the martial arts.

Second,
I was rearranging the martial arts logically.
Instead of the thousands of random techniques,
I created strings of totally logical techniques.
Which led to totally logical forms.
The result was people could
learn the martial arts in an intuitive manner.
They didn’t have to memorize
random techniques
and try to remember them in combat.
They just had to learn a few concepts,
and the martial arts ‘appeared’ in the heads,
logical,
easy to remember,
easy to use,
easy to teach.

It turns out that human minds absorb what is logical,
but struggle with the memorization of random techniques.

Third,
the logic of the ‘software’
of martial arts concepts
led to a change in the logic of the ‘hardware’
of the human mind.
People changed when they took a course
of my logically prepared,
simple and easy martial arts.

That is the concept behind
the matrixing of the martial arts.
I encourage everybody to use logic
when formulating their own martial art.
If you’re interested in how I used logic
the original course is still there at:

MonsterMartialArts.com

I suggest you start with Matrix Karate
and the Master Instructor Course,
they are the core of my research.

But whatever you wish,
the logic works for all arts.

After 40 years of matrixing,
this is the art I came up with.
It is fast, easy and intuitive.

Have a great work out!

Martial Arts Reading Minds

Posted on February 8, 2025 | Leave a comment

Reading Minds in the Martial Arts!

Newsletter 1121

Reading minds is pretty easy with the martial arts,
but it takes some time to cultivate the ability.
First, dedicate yourself to doing the forms.
Do the forms until they become automatic
and you are halfway there.

Automatic is where most people stop,
and these people end up mouthing
about such things as muscle memory.
But they have only gone halfway.

You must continue to do the forms
until they become intuitive.
Intuitive is quite a bit different than automatic.
Automatic is memory,
it is working off patterns of the past.
Intuitive means you saw it coming,
you are creating spontaneously
as you enter the future.

Because people think they have reached the end
when they are only halfway
they tend to slack off.
They teach,
and think that is a work out.
No.
You must dedicate yourself to exploring the forms
until there is no nook or cranny unexplored.

To sum:
you must do the forms until they are automatic,
then work harder
and undo the automaticity until awareness takes over.

I remember a time,
not the first,
but definitely a memorable time,
when I blew it.

A fellow walked into my school.
Asked a few questions,
watched the students working through the forms,
and he came up with that silliness
which visitors often entertain.

“So you can use this stuff to defeat somebody.”
I saw the challenge in his words.
Oh, he was curious and anxious and…silly.
Would you go up to a carpenter
and challenge him to pound a nail in
just so you could be sure?

But I was just as silly.
“Go ahead, take a punch at me.”

A moment while he considered me.
We were standing side by side
and I suddenly saw how he was going to have to twist
to throw a punch at me.
Then reality changed.
I saw a cartoon reality over imposed on reality.
I saw a cartoon of him twisting and striking,
and I moved.
But I didn’t move far,
because he had not punched.
He had just thought it.
I had picked up the thought and moved too soon.
I should have waited until his punch was almost to my face
before I moved.

I saw sadness in him, and a slump of the shoulder.
He was defeated and didn’t understand how I had beaten him.
I had beaten him in his thoughts.
I had overwhelmed him so thoroughly
he would never become a student.

Thoughts are where actions come from,
so practice the actions of the forms
until you see the thoughts.

Practice the forms until you are in a space that is silent of thoughts,
silent of the rattle and chatter of what goes for
‘human thinking.’

Practice until you are on top of a mountain,
no sounds, mental or otherwise, around you,
and the herd of humanity swirls and chatters below you.

And…you know what I’m going to say,
you can learn ten times faster
if your forms are aligned and make sense.
If they are…matrixed.
Check out the video courses at:

MonsterMartialArts.com

I’ve got matrixing applied to karate, kung fu, aikido, weapons,
and lots of other arts.
Matrix Karate is the start,
but start with what interests you.

Thanks to those who have been buying my books.
A few of them are listed at the bottom of this newsletter.

Have a great work out!

Two New Martial Arts Books!

Yep!
Two, count ‘em two…
martial arts books.
But, let me give you a couple of cautions.
I like to sell stuff,
but I detest misrepresenting,
or selling stuff that people will be sorry they bought.
SO…

The books are about Neutronics,
which is my science as it developed from matrixing.
I think it is crucial to understand the science
behind the science of the martial arts.
People who understand why end up being better martial artists.
But if you disagree and just want to roll.
That’s okay by me.

And,
a second caution…
I wrote the first book,
titled ‘Insanica,’ and didn’t like it.
The structure was wrong,
came off a little twitchy.
So I rewrote it as ‘Neutronica.’
Better structure,
but there were things left out,
things which were in the first book.
Hmm.
The heck with it.
I published both books.
Let the reader figure it out.
The same book written twice,
but from different points of view.
I recommend reading Neutronica first,
then, if you’re still with me,
dig into Insanica.

So what’s in these books?
Complete description of the universe,
where it came from, how it was made.
Complete description of you.
What you are and where you came from.
Complete instructions on how to use Neutronics
to manipulate the universe and everything in it.
Not just the martial arts, but…
EVERYTHING!

This stuff makes you think,
it’s not for the dumb at heart,
but I tried to write it for people who
just want the working facts.

Some of this stuff will upset people.
They’ll say I’m crazy,
and even want to burn the book.
But what these books are is like life…matrixed.
If you agree with how I matrixed the martial arts,
you might like how I’ve matrixed life.
If you don’t like matrixing,
or even like it but disagree with it,
you might not like Insanica and Neutronica.

But,
like it or not,
I’ve done my best.
Future plans include further books in this line,
maybe a rewrite if I can figure out how to combine
and keep everything silly.
Here they are…

Neutronica

Insanica

Have a great work out!

Did Ed Parker Really Do This?

Posted on November 30, 2024 | Leave a comment

The Terrible Truth About Ed Parker

I’ve heard many stories of many arts that were, shall we say, less than honorable. The one I heard about Kenpo Karate, however, is one of the worst I have heard. Unfortunately, I don’t know how true it is, but with the data I present in this article perhaps some one could let me know if they have any light to shed on the truth or falsity of it.

Ed Parker is credited with being the founder of modern Kenpo, putting on the biggest tournament in the world for years, the Internationals, teaching movie stars, including Elvis, and all manner of other deeds. His prowess is quite well known, and his students are legion. Unfortunately, when he first began teaching, while he seemed to demonstrate a talent as a teacher, he was only a brown belt.

In those days he was actually teaching the Heian forms from Shotokan karate, this as illustrated by one of his earliest books. Running out of material to teach his students, he returned to Hawaii and was told to go take a hike, the founder of the system apparently had lost interest in him as a student. I’m not sure, exactly, what the fall out was, but it was perhaps that Ed was teaching without permission.

Ed then ran into a fellow in San Francisco named Jimmy Woo, whose name might have been Jimmy Wu, who knew tremendous and authentic gung fu, but who spoke almost no English. Ed brought Jimmy to Los Angeles, where they lived together, and where Jimmy created the Kenpo forms, the techniques, and so on. Ed took these forms and techniques and began teaching them as his own.

To complicate matters, Ed asked Jimmy to write a book with him on what they were doing, and Jimmy spent his days writing kenpo, teaching Ed and some of his students, all while still being deficient in the English language. One day Jimmy saw a rough translation/draft of the book that Ed was planning on turning over to a publisher, and he was surprised to see that his name was not on the cover, or anywhere in the book. This was surprising, because even though Ed was half the team, Jimmy was doing all the work.

Why not my name on book, is what he was supposed to have said. Ed said he would explain, but he had an errand to run, could they take a drive, and Ed would explain on the way. Jimmy hopped into the car, and Ed drove into Hollywood, but Ed didn’t say a word about the book the whole time he was driving. On Hollywood Blvd, there is an Armenian pastry shop there now, Ed let Jimmy out of the car, and drove off.

Jimmy had one single quarter in his pocket, the clothes on his back, and nothing else. With that last quarter he called one of Ed’s students, who he had been teaching. In his broken English he explained what Ed had done, that he didn’t know where he was, or why it had all happened.

He had been teaching, writing, and suddenly, he had been betrayed. Now, is this story true, or is it a pack of lies? If anybody has definite facts, I sure would like to know.

About the author: Al Case has been studying the martial arts since 1967. He studied Kenpo from ’67 to ’69. He offers instructional books and videos at Monster Martial Arts. He has written a three volume set on Kenpo Karate.

Martial Art Forms, Techniques and History

Posted on November 3, 2024 | Leave a comment

The Martial Arts Encyclopedia!

As you may know
I have republished the five books
I refer to as the Martial Arts Encyclopedia.
I wrote them over a twenty year period.
I wrote them out of order,
though they are in the correct order as published.

PAN GAI NOON
I wanted to know where Karate came from
A fellow once told me
if you don’t know sanchin you don’t know karate.
I describe the two essential forms
Sanchin and Seisan
and describe the theory of technique
so that one understands how to evolve technique
out of the forms,
This was the introduction of X, Y and Z
in circular form to the techniques.

KANG DUK WON
That was the art I was trained in.
I wrote a book on it because
it was closer to the Okinawan karate,
having gone through the Korean route
instead of the Japanese.
The Japanese added several things
which are questionable.
Lower stances, higher kicks,
stylized forms and freestyle.
The art engendered intuition in me
and enlightened me.

KWON BUP
I wanted to know the truth of Kang Duk Won,
and saw that it was built of two arts,
the original KDW,
and my instructor’s art of Kwon Bup.
Was Kang Duk Won what had worked most in me?
Or Kwon Bup?
I separated the two arts to better understand this.
I discovered a linearity in the Kwon Bup
that was not in KDW.
I found the techniques more direct,
and more powerful.
If KDW was a hammer,
Kwon Bup was a point on the hammer.

OUTLAW KARATE
I wanted to combine KDW and KB.
I wanted a superior art that could be learned faster.
I also knew that Kenpo had lengthened
the time of training to black belt
to four and more years.
In the KDW people were learning in two years,
why should it take longer?
And there were stories of people
learning Karate in one year.
I wanted to make a black belt in one year.
I was able to take five out of six original students
to black belt in one year.
There was total power and in depth intuition.
I was beginning to use different training methods on the freestyle
to bring them along faster.
I began to appreciate how trust makes for faster learning.
I also saw that one doesn’t need contracts to keep a student.
If you give them the right data
at an adequate speed…it works better than a contract.

BUDDHA CRANE KARATE
I broke down what I had been teaching,
I aligned the methods with the ten lines of Ton Toi
I made a form that could be changed
to accommodate each line
similar to the Hsing i method.
This was my initial breakdown of the art
into a logic that was easy to remember
and therefore easier to learn.
It retained the workability of my earlier arts.
It was my first attempt at arranging the moves
in logical order.
This was a precursor
to the Boolean Truth Table I was eventually to use
to matrix any art.

Those are the five books that make up my ‘encyclopedia.
There is a little history,
but more important is that arrangement of techniques.
Which techniques were the same from art to art,
which were different?
How does theory morph into practical technique.
How does (did) the art change with the various evolutions.
What were the effects of various countries,
how do they blend together,
when do they overlap.

There is also the added bonus of seeing the mistakes I made.
A person who sees mistakes learns faster
than somebody who ‘does it right’ every time.

You can find these books on Amazon
simply type in the title,
(for instance, ‘Pan Gai Noon.’)
or type in the title and my name (al case)
(for instance ‘Kwon Bup Al Case.’
You can also find them on Barnes and Noble
and other sites.

You don’t have to spend five years on each art,
simply do the forms,
do the techniques,
then move on to the next art.
Specialize in what interests you
and put the rest aside.
Most important,
apply the lessons to whatever art you study.

No single art is totally right…
it is up to you to make your own art,
and to make that art right.

Now,
thanks for being students of the arts, and…
have a great work out!

Ed Parker’s Kenpo Karate Problems!

Posted on October 28, 2024 | Leave a comment

Kenpo Karate is Broken!

That Kenpo is broken is obvious. Actually, not to hurt anybody’s feelings, it has been broken from the get go. One simple proof is that the founder himself, Edmund Parker, presented five different versions of the art during his lifetime.

Five different versions, starting with a shotokan karate based version, and progressing through a variety of made up kung fu. Yet, before you decide I am nothing but a detractor, all the martial arts can be found in Parker’s Kenpo. It is a massive system, and the potential is unlimited.

Now, the problem is that most kung fu systems have been passed along for generations. They have had hundreds, even thousands, of years to become developed, polished and evolved. Chinese Kenpo, on the other hand, has not been benefitted by this process.

The first version, the classical karate version, was extremely workable. Parker ran into difficulties with his instructor, however, and ran out of material to teach. Thus, he hired a kung fu artist from the San Francisco area, Jimmy Wu, to help him put together more material.

The next four versions of Chinese Kenpo, then, are they Parker? Or are they Wu? To be honest, they are probably a mix, but of what percentage?

And, to be fair, one must realize that Parker, through his lineage, and Wu, through his, did bring a certain amount of tried and tested material to the board. And, one must realize that the times were rich with material. There were all sorts of systems of karate and kung fu making their appearance, and Parker had front seat through these times.

That brings us to the intent promised by the title of this article, how to fix Kenpo. The best way to fix Parker’s Kenpo is to throw away the rankings, categorize the techniques by attack, and arrange them in order of difficulty. While this has been done somewhat, in doing it anew one will find all sorts of things that were left out, over emphasized, and so on.

The point is that all the martial arts are there, but they need to be arranged in a more workable manner, and only by a more scientific analysis is one going to come to grips with the truth of Kenpo.

About the Author: Al Case just finished revising and republishing his three volume ‘Matrixing Kenpo Karate’ series. In that series he fulfills the promise made by this article. Look for ‘Matrixing Kenpo Karate‘ on the net.

Putting martial Arts Ranks to Yoga!

Posted on October 21, 2024 | Leave a comment

Yoga with Martial Arts Ranking!

The difference between yoga and martial arts is quite interesting
but quite simple.

Yoga is ‘not moving’ meditation
Martial arts is moving meditation

Both use the body,
and studying both can be incredibly enlightening.

In yoga you assume a pose and put your awareness
through the body.
The focus is on flexibility,
there is much good health,
awareness grows.
All good stuff.

In martial arts you do a technique and put your awareness
through the body,
and through your partners body.
The focus is on self defense,
good health and…awareness.

So which awareness is better?

Of course it depends. but consider
a few of the following comparisons.

You won’t get bruises in yoga
you won’t learn to defend yourself

yoga analyzes energy flows in the body
martial arts analyzes energy flows outside the body

you’ll get more injuries in martial arts
injuries which yoga can help rehabilitate

you won’t be asked to ‘show your stuff’
at a party with yoga
There is always some idiot who wants you to
show your martial arts stuff at a party
Of course its sort of fun to practice your joint locks
on drunks at parties…but still…

yoga is great stuff, but you don’t get to wear a belt.
Martial Arts is always looking for the next belt,
if you’re into that.

There are pros and cons for both disciplines,
and you know what I’m going to say…
study both.
Grow awareness inside,
rehabilitate and get flexy,
and put that acquired mental focus to work
by applying it to martial arts.

Guaranteed,
the disciplines will aid each other.
Greatly

Now,
it is easier to get started in yoga.
Get a book,
a DVD,
do an online course.
Lots of freebies to get started.
There is one problem, however.
The advanced theories and knowledge
are severely lacking in yoga.
Most of the people teaching it
really don’t know
how the mind works,
where to put the attention,
and all sorts of stuff like that.
Everybody just monkey sees and monkey does.

It’s the same in martial arts,
but not as bad.

Anyway,
I suggest finding some free beginners stuff,
and supplementing it with

Black Belt Yoga

The ‘belts’
(levels of difficulty)
are accompanied by very simple but thorough
advices on what, exactly,
you are supposed to be doing in yoga.

Try it,
you’ll find your martial arts shining
with new awareness,
and your abilities will grow.
Furthermore,
nobody has ever done what I did here.
Everybody makes a sequences of yoga poses
based on what they like to do.
I put the poses in actual order of difficulty.

The republishing is going well,
I’ve included a short catalogue below.
Check out the various links.
They should work,
and eventually I’ll get them all in the websites.
and have a great work out!

Find the True Martial Art

Posted on September 24, 2024 | Leave a comment

The True Martial Arts

The Secret of the Martial Arts is how to achieve Awareness. The Secret of All Life is how to achieve Awareness. Thus, the Secret of Life is within you, and all you have to do is figure out how to grow awareness.

This is such an easy thing, so simple, and yet people overlook it. People think that they will be better martial artists if they just work out more, build their bodies, can beat up the other fellow. Nothing could be further from the truth; this is actually diametrically opposed to the truth of themselves as martial artists.

Yes, muscles should be used and grown, but only to a certain degree. They are important only to the degree that they enable one to make themselves aware. One should work the body to make it larger and stronger, but use it to achieve awareness of what the muscles are and are doing.

Yes, forms are important, but only to the degree they enhance awareness. As one does forms one becomes aware of how to move the body. Eventually, with correct practice, one will transcend the normal ways of moving the body and discover whole new concepts of motion.

Yes, martial arts applications are important, but only to the degree that they bring awareness of how to deal with the problems presented by an attacker. One discovers, through martial arts techniques, that the real problem has to do with analyzing and handling incoming forces. This makes one into a more aware being.

Yes, freestyle is important; the combative disciplines wouldn’t be real if they weren’t combat ready. However, the big problem is that people start to love combat for the sake of combat, and not as a method for becoming more aware of how to use the body…even under stress. This is called the Joy of Combat, and is contrary to the real path of the true martial art.

The real key is that one should be learning the martial arts as a discipline to explore ones own self. When one loves combat more than learning they are not learning the art. When one engages in combat to beat the other person, they will never uncover the true spirit of themselves.

The eastern combat disciplines are a key, and the whole body is the lock. Do the martial arts and unlock the bodies true potential. Still the mind and discover the spirit that is the truth of you.

Second Monster Martial Arts Book Republished!

Posted on September 18, 2024 | Leave a comment

New Monster Martial Arts Books!

You ever have people ask you what you do?
It’s a funny question.
It’s designed to give them a handle on you.
But that doesn’t mean anything.
It doesn’t tell people who you are.

You know what I say to people
who ask what I do for a living?
I smile politely and say,
‘I teach people to hurt people.’

Bang!
I just broke their pre-conceived ideas,
I destroyed their trust in labels,
I woke them up.
They blink and grin
and suddenly look at me,
search for the real me.

An enlightened person
won’t let people label them
and categorize them.

I don’t do this for all people,
there are some people I don’t want to see me.
They aren’t nice,
or they are stupid,
or they are time wasters.
Or some other such thing.

But when I find some guy
who is pretty bright
and might be interesting to talk to,
or even to teach…
this wakes them up
avoids preconceptions,
and then we talk
have a real conversation,
and they find out who I really am.

I have thousands of tricks like this
to break through the robotic attitudes
of enslaved people.
But try this one,
and watch how interest perks,
eyes sparkle
as they step outside of their carefully contrived box.

Got another book published.
The going is tough as I figure out different publishing companies.
Oddly,
I found one of my books on Amazon.
But I wouldn’t trust it to stay there.
Here are the two books I’ve published…

The Last Martial Arts Book
https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-last-martial-arts-book-al-case/1146217369?ean=9798227617200

Advanced Tai Chi Chuan for Real Self Defense!

Okay, that’s about it for now…
As the books get republished I’ll let you know.
In the meantime…

HAVE A GREAT WORK OUT!

Monster Books Unpublished!

Posted on August 19, 2024 | Leave a comment

Hi guys!

Amazon has decided not to carry my books anymore.
When you look for my books
you won’t find them on Amazon,
and you’ll likely get a blank page of some sort.

This is bad news for me, of course,
but I’ll be looking for other publishers,
so stay tuned,
I’ll let you know as titles get republished.

In the meantime,
all my video courses,
are still available through

MonsterMartialArts.com

Some of the books are still available in instant download,
but usually in conjunction with the courses.

As this problem has severely impacted my income,
I would certainly be grateful for any orders.

If you want two for one on the courses
order a course
then email me at

aganzul@gmail.com

and tell me what second course you would like.

Any questions or concerns,
juste let me know…

Have a great day and…
A GREAT WORK OUT!

Al
