The Three Steps To Generating Ki Power By Applying Flux Theory To Karate Kata

[I:http://www.muaythaiboxing.ws/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/AlCase31.jpg]In this article I am going to reveal the three steps to making ki power through karate kata. This intrinsic energy is actually easy to make, but I have never met a sensei who knew the secret of how to release the power. I don't care if you study Japanese Karate kata, Korean Karate kata, Okinawan Karate kata, or whatever, the ki can be made--you just have to do the three easy steps.

This theory is actually known in some Chinese arts, used in 'Kung fu katas' if you wish to call mix labels. I take a more scientific approach, I call it Flux Theory, which is just a fancy way of saying you are going to start the flow of energy and tap into it. Here are the three steps.

First, you have to push from the earth. Most people consider this muscle building, or think of it as efficient motion, but it is far more than that. When you push from the earth you must focus on feeling the sensation of weight inside the leg doing the pushing.

Second, as you start to move the body with the push of the leg, you must start rotating the hips. This is important to many martial art styles, you will find it in karate kata forms, hapkido forms, even (and maybe especially) the taekwondo white belt forms. The concept here is to, again, focus on the sensation of mass moving through the leg, through the hips, up the body, and out the arms.

Third, and this is the very important last step, when you throw a hard punch it should feel like you are shaking water off your hands. The notion here is to relax your arm as much as possible, then get the sensation pulsing the arm so that the energy that went through the leg and the hip, is pushed down and through your arm. You focus, but having a tight fist is not so important, can even work against you, to the feeling that energy is snapping off the end of your hand just like water is snapped off the fist.

Make sure you have have good karate stance if you want to really build energy, and this means you are going to have to critique every posture in every kata and make sure the legs are bent properly, not overly rigid, and so on. And, to make this ki work in karate fights, you are going to have to line up the hips and turn them at exactly the right time. Do these things, with strict attention to detail, and you are going to find that the ki power you are making will be the ultimate karate weapon.

Now, the problem is that most instructors don't know this, and the forms are being altered for some odd idea of what karate combat is. If you have a fellow who is changing his karate forms to kickboxing stances, or some other MMA concept, then you are in trouble. Without the ground connection, the ki power won't build, and certainly won't go through the body.

The message here is that you must adhere to the classical forms. You must examine all the forms from all the karate styles, and I don't care if it is Shotokan Karate forms, goju karate forms, shito ryu forms or isshin ryu forms or whatever, and make sure they are sound and functional. This is the method I used when I developed Flux Theory, and this is how you are going to discover the true ki power available in karate kata
