Hurricane Martial Arts!

From Al Case at Matrix Martial Arts…

You guys ever been in a hurricane?

I live in Clearwater,

and we had our second hurricane in two weeks

and, man, it was a HOOT!

First,

is there a hurricane martial arts out there?

I’ve read theories of swinging the arms in circular motions,

and how you have to mentally be the eye of the storm,

and, of course, lots of techniques named things like

‘hurricane fists!’

If you know of one,

let me know.

I’ll look into it for an article.

Second,

to be in a hurricane is incredible experience.

Here’s the set up…

the news media goes crazy trying to scare you.

You’re all going to die!

You have to leave your home!

There will be no emergency services

when you almost die

and there won’t be any food!

And on and on and on.

So,

I ignore the naysayers.

They are all idiots.

I get gas for my car,

stock up on water and food,

have a way to cook when the electricity goes out.

Then I sit back and watch the roads jam up.

And the shelves empty.

And, of course,

the people on TV are going crazy trying to scare you.

Here’s the actual fact…

The wind goes up to 30 or 40 MPH

spatters of rain.

The lights flicker.

The people on
TV tell you you are going to die

and they won’t even find your body!

Then the wind raise up to 50 or 60, with 75 to 80 gusts.

The carport starts banging,

so I go out and tie it down with a garden hose

and run my car over the hose.

End of emergency.

Things start slamming into the house,

it’s time to go to the shookie.

A shookie (sp?) is a little brick shithouse.

It is designed for hurricanes and laughs at them.

I have a bed set up in there,

water, 

lights and books.

I call my family on my cell phone

in the middle of the hurricane.

They are all crying and whining and

wailing and sobbing.

AL, YOU’RE GOING TO DIE!

I ask them if they’ve been watching the news.

Yep.

Poor fools.

A few hours the wind dies down

and I go back in the house and watch TV,

and the news people talk about bridges out

and pets abandoned and…

they can’t scare you anymore

so they try to make you sad.

Idiots.

Now,

in all honesty,

if I thought the hurricane was a big one

and it really was going to hit me square on

I’d have left,

or at least gone into the shookie earlier.

I’ve lived through four or five hurricanes now,

and they are scary,

but unless they hit you dead on,

or you live in a cardboard box,

nothing to worry about.

I advise that you do your homework,

however,

before you do what I do,

before you live through one.

But,

you want to know the truth?

I’ve lived through some incredible martial arts training.

I know when to be scared,

and when to laugh.

I even know when to laugh when scared!

So that’s my adventure,

and the real news is that I’ve got about 9 or 10 books republished.

I have included a big section below with links.

Note that Amazon is publishing me again,

but through third parties.

Also note that other book stores are picking me up.

If enough people order through Barnes and Noble

they’ll probably put it in their brick and mortar stores.

Okay,

guys and gals,

get ready for the next hurricane and…

PRACTICE THOSE MARTIAL ARTS!
