The Occult Nature Of Martial ArtsThe Occult Nature Of Martial Arts

In my nearly thirty-year experience in the martial arts, I have seen some interesting

things. Most of them are ordinary, some spectacular. These include mere human featsof incredible jump spin-kicks, power breaking and manipulation of opponents.

Sometimes these demonstrations have crossed into states of metaphysical events.

Martial arts often suggest a level of skill beyond the mere physical, and hint at an

intangible or esoteric knowledge. This skill is recognized not only as a fighting skill,

but also a healing skill.

From the earliest times, Warriors and Occult practitioners, or Shamen have been

closely linked. Going to battle was a spiritual event, involving preparation and in

some cases, inducing a trance state. The Vikings were known to have taken mind-

altering mushrooms before going into battle, hence the term Berserker (Berserk).

They went nuts and killed things. That warrior cult was also steeped in pagan gods,

divination and superstition. They were a warrior culture, yet given the opportunity,they melded with the populations they had just kicked the crap out of and helped build

much of Europe.

Other aboriginal cultures across the world have their warrior cultures closely linked to

shamanic experiences also. Anyone who has read the Carlos Castenada books with

Don Juan the sorcerer have a look into native American Indian culture and warrior

spirit. Part of coming of age in warrior cultures has often been linked to taking

psychedelic drugs or experiencing extreme hardships under the guidance of elders.

With Japanese martial artists such as Aikido founder Ueshiba, there were cults such as

the Shinto O-Moto Kyo, that were based in natural science of every day living, and

the older and revered Chinese occult systems. Chinese Tao is Japanese Do, andthe esoteric knowledge of each has the same root. Nearly all cultures revered the

sword as a spiritual tool, some bearing generations of blood.

Perhaps no esoteric system is better known than the Chinese five-element theory that

governs acupuncture and pressure points. An unknown number of people partake in

the healing arts provided by these techniques, yet they are hardly recognized by

modern medicine today. Contemporary medicine looks upon Meridian theory as

placebo therapy, yet in a martial as well as a healing application, the results are

striking (pun intended).

The five-element theory is akin to the childs game of rock-scissors-paper, where

there is a healing aspect as well as a destructive nature. Wood feeds fire, fire creates

earth, earth produces metal, metal leads to water (somewhat obscure, possibly waterwitching). The destructive cycle is just the opposite; metal cuts wood, wood

penetrates earth, earth dams water, water cools fire, fire shapes metal. While each

element relates to a meridian, combinations of strikes in the destructive cycle on

meridians can cause knockout and damage. Experts more knowledgeable than me

may expand on this.

The point is, there is a lot more to the skills involved in both healing and killing than

most martial schools offer. Pressure points, sacred sounds used in ki-ais and muchmore.

From an internet search, there are scores of articles byChristian authors that indicate

their fear of these ideas. Too bad for them. They may be missing out on a whole

bunch of stuff that was known to the old Christian Gnostics that are abhorrent to

modern evangelicals today. For instance, the Knights Templar was a Christian warrior

society that found enlightenment in the middle-east, and incorporated it into their

Christian rituals. The Templers were a Christian Knight organization that was created

to guard passage to the holy lands from Europe. They built their fortress on the

Temple mount In Jerusalem, and are said to have found the holiest ancient Gnostic

(self enlightened) Christian relics. The Templars, according to author Jim Marrs

(Rule By Secrecy-Harper-Collins), cut deals with and gained esoteric knowledgefrom The Assassins, the Hashish cult-for-hire in middle age Islam. Speculation is

there was much information exchanged. Upon their return to Europe, the Templars

used sacred geometry to build the Gothic Cathedrals, celestial navigation, and the first

banking system. All this was built on Arab culture, and it revolutionized Europe. They

were a Christian martial society, and on Friday the 13th 1307, many of the Templars

were rounded up by the church, tortured and disbanded, partly for their esoteric and

non-conventional knowledge. The contemporary Catholic Church may be the worlds

largest practitioner of ceremonial magic, with the ritual cannibalism of the wafer and

wine, or the methods of choosing a Pope.

Then there is the dark side. The Japanese Yakuza and Tong Chinese Mafia have long

had blood rites. Secret societies such as Ninja clans developed many black-art

techniques, the same techniques that are seen today in drug-induced interrogation,

water-bording etc.

In the past, I have written aboutother cult-like schools.In Portland Oregon, there was

a school called Poekulean or A rose with thorns. This was primarily a womans

self-defense school, and they had candlelight rituals with knives involved. Now, this

was an Indonesian-based school, and such is the nature of those arts, but it freaked a

lot of women in Portland out, to the point where a critical article in a weekly paper

was written.

I have also witnessed some No touch knockouts. I am telling you, these are very

controversial, and dont always work, but when they do, they do. There is an elementof the Master-student relationship that is conducive to achieving the no touch

knockout. I believe it involves hypnosis similar to that experimented with by Anton

Mesmer in early European culture. I have also seen these attempts at knockouts go

very bad. Hardened athletes and skeptics are more resistant, suggesting an element of

Hypnosis is involved.

There is however, something that does happen. George Dillmans Ryukyu Kempo

group hooked students up to medical recording equipment and performed no touch

knockouts on them. The results were startling and cautionary. Over cold drinks after a

seminar I discussed this with experts Jack Hogan and Dan McCusky, both who had

witnessed Dillmans experiment. In their opinion, people went out very heavily, and

were difficult to recover. They felt there was a tremendous amount of psychic energyinvolved. This practice can come at the physical expense of the practitioner. One of

the men who was knocking people out urinated blood afterward, indicating that it had

affected the prenatal Chi residing in his kidneys. Hogan and McCusky hinted that this

art was possibly taken further, and commented that There are some things that

people just shouldnt be doing.

Most of us practice martial arts for health, self-defense and self-improvement. Just

how far down the path we go, and which turns we choose are up to the individual.Through modern methods such as biofeedback and brain imaging, we are now able to

see how shamanic practices of the ancients actually work. How they are used is a

different story
