A Faster Method for Realizing Enlightenment through Aikido Arts
Article by Al Case
Morihei Uyeshiba was 42 years old in 1925. He had many visitors, for everybody knew he was one of the top martial artists of the times. One day a naval officer came to call, and the discussion between the two men became an argument.
The naval officer held that it was impossible to avoid a well swung sword, and O Sensei held that it was possible. The two faced each other, argument became reality, and O Sensei succeeded in avoiding a sword that was well swung. After the match, Master Uyeshiba stepped to a well and poured water over his head, and had a moment of profound realization that was to shape the martial arts forever.
The essence of this realization was that men are spiritual brothers, and all should live in peace. Undoubtedly, other martial artists over the ages have experienced similar moments of enlightenment, but Uyeshiba's realization was crucial in history, and unique to the founding of a specific method. Aikido is a method which results in people realizing that they are spiritual brothers.
The essence of this method is that one should duplicate the motion of an attacker, and join to it. The reality is that if you do this in the physical, the mind starts to go along with it, and you achieve a Uyeshiba Moment of Enlightenment. This has become a proven method, with Aikido spreading across the world and providing moments and levels of spiritual peace and harmony.
This universe is constructed of objects that float through space. Unfortunately, most arts train people to collide. Thus, Aikido is a method of no collision, it is, instead, dedicated to the control of the flight of objects to the benefit of all.
Ultimately, I realized that this method can be done more scientifically, and I created Matrix Aikido. The idea behind Matrix Aikido is not to reduce or negate the analysis of the trajectory of bodies in this universe, it is a concentration of that method through scientific methodology.
In classical Aikido it can take many, many years to achieve suffici! ent flow in one's thought patterns to enable one to have an Aiki moment of enlightenment. This is because it takes a certain amount of real time to master the stylized movements of Aikido. To change this I began teaching Aiki from central concepts, core concepts, and the result is that the student doesn't memorize techniques, but rather creates them within the moment.
The martial arts are taught through methods that are arrangements of random strings of data. Matrixing puts aside those stylistic arrangements in favor of scientific rendering. There is no disservice to O Sensei in a method that enables one to achieve what he achieved at a faster rate, there is only the call to teachers of the art to augment their teaching methods with my discoveries.
