To come to grips with Matrixing one must understand that Matrix Martial Arts is an actual technology. It is a logical way of thinking applied to martial disciplines such as Hung Gar Kung Fu, Uechi Ryu Karate or whatever. The good news is that the effects of logic on the martial arts are of extremely high value.

Matrixing is important because the oral tradition of learning the martial arts has resulted in thoroughly mixed up styles of the arts. People spend inordinate amounts of time learning random strings of data, but this leaves vast areas of unexplored technique. The random strings of data thus become hard to extract from the mind for use, and martial intuition takes decades to cultivate, if it ever is.

The first analogy of matrixing was one of numbers. Learning an art, be it karate or kung fu or whatever, was like trying to learn how to count when you had no 2, 3 was upside, 7 is put before 1, which is inverted, and there were no more numbers except...what is that shaved cat doing in there? Matrixing laid out the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9...and then anybody could find 10, and 11, and so on.

The second analogy of Matrixing uses language. Use the Matrix Technology and speed of learning is increased, and this because there is an alphabet, and even phonics. The martial arts can then be generated with techniques as words, forms as sentences, and whole systems as simple textbooks.

The third analogy of Matrixing is a simple three dimensional model of all the arts. With Matrixing, you see, you can establish the geometry of each art, and matrix that geometry for all potentials of motions, and, literally, define each art on separate sheets of paper. One then merely places the sheets of paper in a box.

Thus, the individual arts are defined by surface concepts, and a student can change arts simply by selecting the right sheet of paper with the right matrix on it. This puts all the martial arts in a specific and logical order. Depth of art then is not mysterious, but rather a straightforward process of descending through the sheets of paper, through the correctly ordered and inter-related geometries of the martial arts.

Several things happen when one understands matrixing science on this level. Intuition becomes obvious and easily tapped. Students learn at a much higher rate of speed, for the mind will not refuse concepts when they are simple correctly ordered.

Of course, students are different, and how much matrixing it is going to take is a variable. A high number of students make the breakthrough on the first course, a few students need all the courses, and there are going to be one or two students who are going to need all the courses...and a kick in the pants besides. However much matrixing it takes for the martial mind to kick in and take off, and for the student to enjoy all those fabulous, advanced abilities that students of the True Art enjoy, the journey is well worth it.
