The Hard Way to Find The True Art!
So you want The True Martial Art, but you’re unwilling to spend a lifetime training to get there. There is a way, everybody knows about it, it is simple, but nobody does it. I am talking about, of course, that simple drill called Horse Meditation.
The most you’ll see in today’s martial arts schools are a minute of punishment. The true value of the exercise is passed on, used as punishment, or just avoided. After all, how long would little Johnny’s parents foot the bills if he came home and complained that the instructor was making him suffer?
To do Horse Meditation in the way that brings enlightenment, one must be willing to go through pain. We all know that pain tells a person something dangerous is happening, it is a warning system that is telling a person to stop what they are doing. But, and I am not simply selling masochism here, horse Meditation can be truly enlightening if you are willing to understand the pain.
Squat until your thighs are almost parallel with the ground, bend the knees and spread the legs and get low. Hold an arm to the side with the hand in a chicken beak, or whip, and raise the other arm in a high block. Concentrate on breathing deeply to your center and turn your head and focus your gaze on the fingers of your chicken beak.
Within a minute you will be trembling, white, sure that you are going to die. The pain in your legs will become white hot, and you will know, sure as OJ is innocent, that permanent damage is being inflicted upon your legs. Finally, you break stance, gasp, whine, and look at the clock, 90 seconds.
You must learn to ignore the pain. Pain can be ignored if you have a firm and determined desire. You will find The True Art if you can forget about the pain and endure.
Do you really think you are going to die? The answer is a big nada. Thus, you must prove that it is you in charge of your body, you must overcome the warning pain.
So you take a stance and stand there, and when the pain builds, you say no. It really is that simple, you say no, you change your mind, and you stay there, and within five minutes you will find that the pain totally and absolutely disappears. And then you’re going to find something, you’re going to find The True Art…and I tell you, it is not what is taught in today’s entertainment, celluloid based, fantasy inducing dojos, it is something that you never dreamt of and which will change you for all of your days.
