Republishing the Monster Martial Arts Books!

Posted on September 5, 2024 | Leave a comment

Monster Books Published Again!

Hi guys!
I’m starting to republish my martial arts books.
It’s an arduous process,
especially in the beginning.
I’m figuring out how different publishing companies work.
Here’s the link…

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

Remember, the book has FIVE HOURS of video instruction!

I’ll let you know
as other books get published,
but, right now,
let me give you a win from
Stephan Hoffman…

Dear Master Case,

First up – I cannot believe it took me this long to accept the Master Training Program. I honestly thought it was there for people who were advanced enough to create their own style.

I am so happy I finally listened to you however! Every single course/book/training manual I have bought from you (and a few from other creators) suddenly makes sense!!!

CBM – where do I begin… this in conjunction with the Dan Tien Breathing (which I have heard of so often in Qigong etc) which you actually explain in simple terms, has absolutely put me in a new frame of mind. It reminded me of the Bene Gesserit Prana Bindu training from the original Dune novels. I admit to always having been envious of their incredible bodily control!

I went to the gym today and ONLY did a Yogata and Qigong flow using CBM and it was one of the hardest training sessions I think I have ever had! Not draining mind you, but definitely took a lot of concentration, and I could feel my energy starting to align correctly as I know it should in the energetic arts. This can only get better!

For me … this suddenly feels like I have the ability to finally play on an athlete level.

I have said for many years that my goal is to be … someone who not only understands how the Universal Energies operate, but is able to apply that knowledge to every aspect of their lives to create ease and Flow. To have you espouse the same idea from the Martial perspective is finally the missing piece to my puzzle!

I also am absolutely in awe of your description of Mastery. For the longest time, I have both been enamored with and hateful towards the Martial Arts. Only because the gyms and dojos are all about fighting and competing. Where I have always wanted to both Play, as well as learn energetic harmony. I enjoy combat as play but have no desire to actually hurt anyone – not even in competition. Your approach fits my ideology perfectly!

I hope to keep you updated as I progress. I cannot wait to revisit the 9sq boxing now once I have completed the Master Manuals and see how this shifts my understanding.

Oh, I even finally saw (or rather felt) how to use Matrixing in conjunction with CBM in BJJ. Which I have often wanted to know if that would even work – the answer is all in sensing/feeling the energy so that the reaction time is non-existent. I cannot WAIT to roll with my friend soon… He is a purple belt and I am only a white belt, but I just know I will have something to teach him and, in turn, have him test it out on me too!

Many thanks again Master!

Warm Regards
Stephan Hoffman

Controlling Your Mind in the Martial Arts

Making Your Mind Behave…

Good morning! Good morning!
I made it to Clearwater, Florida,
and am advertising for students.
Yippee!
Back in the saddle again.

So how are you guys doing?
Do you work out every single day?
I do.
Can’t stop.
Even if I’m beat and battered,
then I simply work out slowly,
tai chi style.
Tai Chi is a wonderful art,
and outside of matrixed martial arts,
it is one of the two most powerful classical arts I know.
(the other is karate)

Unfortunately,
most people think it is for health,
and old people,
and not much use for self defense.

I’ll tell you something interesting,
I don’t think I really began to truly understand
martial arts and self defense
until I began to delve into Tai Chi.

Oh,
I could beat people up.
But not if they were better and faster than me.
But once I learned Tai Chi
I began to relax in combat,
to see what people were going to do
before they did it.

The trick,
of course,
is to develop the patience.
When you are first doing that slow ‘ward off’ move,
you ask,
how can this work?
Aside form being slow,
it doesn’t have much application.
But the secret of learning
is to keep looking at something
until you understand it.

So I looked and looked
and went slower,
and…here it comes…
FORCED MY MIND TO SLOW DOWN!

Yes,
your mind is an errant child,
throwing distractions at you.
But if you MAKE yourself move slowly,
and MAKE your mind accept a different mode of thinking,
then everything becomes understandable,
and even those weird moves suddenly make sense.
And you find the applications.
And you find out that there is a vast world
of balance and sensitivity
of perception and appreciation.

Unfortunately,
if you don’t do this,
if you don’t MAKE your mind behave,
you miss out on all this wonder.
And you actually miss out
on a lot of the true meaning of the Martial Arts.

Just saying…

So here’s the Tai Chi Package.
Will help you look,
will help you MAKE your mind behave,
will show you some of the incredible self defenses,
that other arts miss out on.

2ca Tai Chi Chuan Package

If you’re here in Clearwater I hope to see you some day,
And…
Everybody have a great work out!!

Translating Karate into Tai Chi Chuan!

RELEASE OF A NEW MARTIAL ART VIDEO COURSE!

I haven’t released a martial arts video course for a while,
but it is worth the wait.
This is going to be one heck of a state of the art course!

The title is

How to Translate Karate into Tai Chi Chuan

The course is on 6 DVDs.
That’s over 5 hours of video instruction.
Plus,
if you wish,
you can order the book (PDF) along with the course.
I haven’t even published the book!
But you can get it,
and it will be cheaper than it you buy it separately.
The offer is on this page…

http://monstermartialarts.com/how-to-translate-karate-into-tai-chi-chuan/

Now,
here’s something incredible,
this course is three in one.

First, there is:

How to Translate Karate into Tai Chi Chuan

Second, there is:

my attempts to resurrect the original form
from which all karate grew.
Didn’t even know there was an original form, eh?
The story of this form is on the web page.

Third, there is:

the secret bunkai of karate.
And, yes, they are secret.
The old masters of Okinawa,
when karate began to be exported,
held a meeting and made a secret pact
that they would never reveal the real forms,
that they would never reveal the real techniques.
Sheesh!
What a bunch of boneheads!
Can’t tell you how much damage they have done to Karate.
So this is a look at what those techniques would be.

In writing this book,
I used matrixing,
my experiences in karate,
my experiences in kung fu,
my experiences in separating and making pure
a variety of different martial arts.

So,
that’s the skinny.
Check out the web page,

http://monstermartialarts.com/how-to-translate-karate-into-tai-chi-chuan/

let me know what you think,
and…

Have a great work out!

New Master Instructor Speaks!

Posted on October 14, 2017 | Leave a comment

Newsletter 895

Congrats to New Master Instructor

Congratulations to new Master Instructor
Garren Lockhart.

Here’s his win…

Mr. Case,
I have received the Master Instructor Course, read it multiple times and have wondered…where has this information been and why is this not required for all instructors that have the care of their students entrusted to them? I was amazed at the principles of Matrixing and how they can take any martial art and develop it into one practicum.
I am a great believer in your “The Three Rules”. I have developed a sort of climate survey for my students to have input on the quality of instruction. I also have another survey for my instructors to evaluate themselves and each other.
(I have deleted a couple of paragraphs here, the material would give away too much of the course…Al)
The most obvious observations I made is that my students seem to “lose” their breath while training. By demonstrating the breathing techniques that you share in the course, I was able to assist in redirecting their breathing patterns.
I look forward to introducing more of your principles into the classes. I have ordered the “Matrix Karate” course and anticipate a great learning and training experience, with it.
Thank you, Mr. Case
Garren Lockhart
Thank you,
Garren,
and well done.
Garren is taking the material
and using it right on the spot
with his students.
Exactly what one is supposed to do in the martial arts.
How do you think people learned before structured classes were invented?
They searched people out,
talked and traded.
Sometimes they fought,
but fighting tends to establish pecking order,
and often people aren’t willing to listen (learn)
to people who have beaten them in such fashion.
Look at your own instructors.
Sure,
they could beat you,
but if they are mean,
you don’t hang around long.
You only listen to people you like.

Anyway,
sort of went on a rant there,
but the point is this…

When you teach, when you share something,
it is as if it leaves a space in your mind,
you have poured out,
and something needs to get poured in.
If your intention has been pure,
if your heart is right,
what comes to you will probably be the next step.

I have found that to always be true.
When I figure something out,
I immediately share it.
Give it away,
talk and teach,
and suddenly I am learning something new,
figuring something else out.
It is a never ending process
that makes your life mean something.

Anyway,
if you want your life to mean something,
get a copy of
The Master Instructor Course.
http://monstermartialarts.com/martial-arts/4-master-instructor-course/
Guaranteed,
as Garren says…
‘…why is this not required for all instructors that have the care of their students entrusted in them?’
Thanks, Garren.
And to all,
Have a great work out!
Al
