Matrix Martial Arts to Learn Real Taekwondo...sounds like an internet trick, doesn't it? But if you told a Hottentot tribesman, a couple of hundred years ago, that there were such things as wagon wheels, well, he'd probably take you over to the witch doctor for some quick 'treatment.'
Head way too big...everything messed up...shrink head quick...squeeze out all ideas!
Here's a truth that most martial artists have trouble understanding...you're actually studying mysticism. You're involved in trying to figure out what the witch doctors of Taekwondo are doing.
Now, I'm being pretty rude thus far, and that really isn't what I'm about. So let me explain this thing I'm talking about. I'd rather smooth talk you into riding ontop of my bandwagon...than bash you for being mystical
The eastern disciplines, at heart, are a language. Same as Russian, same as math, same as any set of 'symbols' that describe notions. The specific language we are talking about is a body language designed for handling force and flow.
Here is how the language works.

There's a lot more to be understood, of course, but that will get us going.
The problem is that the languages have been mixed up. Techniques from one art are placed in a bunch of forms, and the result is ideas that are hard to figure out, difficult to understand and make work, and is mystical.
No, it's not mysticism...it's just a mish mash of different ideas. It's a box full of opposing languages.
Here's the analogy, I'm going to give that Tibetian 100 verbs in the French language, and say that he knows French.
Huh! That's not even mysticism, that's complete and total bushwah.
The idea behind matrixing is to unmix the jumbled up mess of languages. To isolate the different languages so that they become understandable. This is something that has never actually been done before. There's been a ton of 'my art is the true art,' or 'my art is the best,' but nobody has ever deconstructed the eastern fighting systems, and put them back so that they are a logical construction.
Sure, people have recognized that the martial arts are a bunch of different ways of motion, but nobody has ever explored that language and...matrixed it. Never.
Some interesting things occur when you matrix a martial art like Taekwondo.
The first thing is that everything starts becoming easier to understand. Things that were a mystery previously no longer confuse the mind. They are simply, logical and quick to learn.
The second thing is that people start learning at a at a much faster speed.
Then other abilities start to grow. People being thinking in a much more intuitive way. They analyze and reach conclusions merely by glancing at techniques, and there is no longer any necessity to try to 'figure things out.'
We are opening the floodgates here, not just to fighting, or to learn real Taekwondo, but to entire fields of knowledge. The joy is that people don't have to give up the things they have been trying to study, they just have to understand a few simple techniques concerning how to learn. They have to stop thinking they are learning everything, when they are only learning a single art, and use matrix martial arts to logically understand what they are doing, and then use their art to logically learn all the martial arts.
