I was in Willits, California putting on a karate demonstration for a couple of hundred kids the second time I ever slow walked. As I finished the showing the kids what karate was I noticed a fellow standing at the far end of the gymnasium. Standing alone, he was big and rather ominous.
I noticed that he didn't have a kid, so what was he doing at a demo for kids? Curious, I began to walk slowly towards him. Time began to stretch, and I walked slower,and it stretched further and further. Even though he was only a hundred feet away, it seemed to take forever to reach him.
I reached him, and he was sweating and starting to shake. I introduced myself and threw out a big grin and a hand. He was so relieved that he almost fell over when he took my hand.
The fellow was a tree faller, and turned out to be one of the nicest fellows I had ever met. The reason he was at the demonstration was because he wanted to see karate. Living out in the woods, he had never actually seen it.
The thing that most interested him, however, was what I had first done to him when we had met. He later told me that it seemed like the world was caving in on him. He admitted later that he had almost lost control of his bladder.
If you practice a classical karate that has been made true slow walking is easy to do. This means you must make sure you know what the moves mean when you translate them into actual usage, and you must align the time and shape of your form. If you learn how to do this then you can experience the true bubble of your perceptions, which is what your true body is.
Time is nothing more than a method for measuring the things of the universe. Time, being part of the universe, is something we can perceive. If you can control your body, then you can control the universe, then you can control time.
Of course the trick is to enter The True Art by perfecting your art, and then to increase the size of yourself. For if you can control your body, then you can control another's body, and you can influence his perception of time. This requires immense dedication to form and detail and such, but it is, in the end, a simple trick.
