The Truth About Matrix Martial Arts and True Intelligence

By Al Case

It is easy to see that Matrix Martial Arts raises intelligence. It is a proven fact that when one matrixes his art, be it Kenpo or aikido or that rare form of wudan pa kua chang, the art becomes better, and the person becomes more intuitive, and his intelligence goes up. What is not so easy to see is why this is so.

Intelligence is measured in todays institutions through various tests. What these tests do, however, is tell you how big your memory is. What these tests do is evaluate how adequate your memory is.

Thus, current testing is checking the state of memory, and it has nothing to do with the factors of true intelligence. Current testing does nothing more than verify that the memorization methods of modern schools is working. To come to grips with what this really means we must define what true intelligence is.

True intelligence is the speed at which your mind works. There are other factors, but this is the one that is most important. This doesn't evaluate how big or good your memory is, but how fast you can interchange with the environment.

In the martial arts the student is instructed by having him or her memorize random strings of data. Or memorize random strings of random data, however you want to put it. The hope is that if you get a big enough memory then you can pull a trick out of the hat, and hopefully it is the right trick for the job at hand.

When you matrix the martial arts you put the data in logical order, no more random data, or random strings of data. Thus, you use less memory, and the data is filed properly for quick and accurate extraction. Thus, you are not distracted by incorrect data, the missing data and the gaps and holes and wrong arrangements of data and so on, and intuition can kick in.

Intuition means that the data being extracted for use is being extracted at near instantaneous speed. Furthermore, and here is a blessing, the data is never wrong. Thus, the true speed of the martial arts, when intuition kicks in, is in effect, and thus the students intelligence is raised.

Now, it doesn't matter what form of kung fu you study, or what style of karate, all that matters is that you take the time to rearrange the data by matrixing it. When you use matrix martial arts as a template, you see, it is nothing more than putting the book on the bookshelf. The trick here is that we are putting all the books on the bookshelf, in the right order, at the same time, and that is certainly measurable as an increase in intelligence.
