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 of Horse Meditation is a minute of punishment in today's martial arts schools. The true value of the exercise is used as punishment, or just not done. How long would little Jane's mommy pay for her training, after all, if she came home and whined that the instructor was hurting her?
To do Horse Meditation the way it was meant to be done, the way that brings enlightenment, one must be willing to undergo pain and transition. We all know that pain tells a person he is in danger, it is a warning system that is telling a person to get out of there. But, and I am not simply selling masochism here, pain understood can be truly enlightening.
Bend the knees and spread the legs, squat until your thighs are almost parallel with the ground. Extend one arm to the side with the hand in a whip, or chicken beak, and raise the other arm in a high block. Turn your head and focus on the chicken beak, concentrate on breathing deeply to below your navel.
Before a minute has passed your legs will be trembling, your face will be white, and you will be sure sure that you are going to die and not go to heaven. The pain in your legs will become excruciating, and you will know, sure as OJ loved his wife, that your legs are going to be permanently disfigured. Finally, you whine, gasp, break stance, and look at the clock, 120 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 say no when the pain starts to build. You say no, you change your mind, and you stay there, and within a few minutes you will find that the pain absolutely and totally disappears. And you will break through into The True Art...and I tell you, it is not what is taught in today's entertainment, fantasy inducing, celluloid based dojos, it is something that you never dreamt of and which will change you for all of your days. - 16887
