A few years back, in my book “Mental Training of a Warrior” I wrote about the almost completely unknown stage of training, the Meta-Physical stage of a martial artist.

Let me update those technologies right now since I wrote that book thirty-three years ago.

(Author’s Note: I wrote that book after 27 years in the Martial Arts. And it was a compilation from what I’d learned from my trainers Ed Parker, Kang Yon Kuk, Kang Soi Chong, Capt. Bob Walker, Harold DeVos, etc, and my own Life experiences in the Army Security Agency, in Law Enforcement as a Lieutenant with the Boise County Sheriffs Department, and as a professional Martial Arts Athlete and Martial Arts Studio owner.

That “Mental Training of a Warrior”, along with “The Master’s Kicking Guide” became the two theses for achieving my 5^th Degree Black Belt in American Kenpo from Ed Parker in 1981. I received my 8^th Degree Black Belt from Al Tracy in 1986. I did receive my 10^th Degree Black Belt from Jim Mitchell in 1995.)

The Meta-Physical Stage:

At this stage, the martial artist is sometimes assumed to possess superhuman qualities.

He is believed to possess skill in clairvoyance, telepathy and precognition.

In other words he will know your moves before you do.

If you attempt something he will either be just out of reach, or evade you, or hit you first.

He is aware of your abilities through the way you carry yourself. He can pre-read your intentions from your responses and body language. From certain stances, only certain attacks are possible. He sets you up, making his counter-attack (from your point of view) seem invisible.

He knows your emotional energy and can feel the pressure of an attack before you launch it.

You never know where he is coming from, or what he is coming with.

When he attacks he exerts no aggressive energy (unless he purposefully does it to weaken your Chi) but his opponents fall before him.

This type of person has been at the game so many years that he has encountered everything before and has the proper responses ingrained into him.

This man is the true professional He is very much human, but with senses trained to a degree that the average layman cannot comprehend.

When you first view the true Meta-Physical professional, he looks unassuming. It is only in the heat and excitement of the arena will you see his true skills.

He is a Master of Distorting Time so it slows down for him!

Then his perceptions and coordination will seem to improve dramatically. Sometimes it will seem that time will speed up for him so he is moving in a different time continuum than his opponent.

He sees before you see!

It is uncanny how all of his opponents seem to be moving in slow motion.

He has all the time in the world to watch the opponents’ attack, and then easily evade, or block and counterattack.

He Controls the Distance, the Reactionary Gap!

Yet, he is being attacked under full speed with good technique by good opponents. When he initiates his own attack you are aware that his intention of striking is so strong that none can stand before him.

Sometimes precognition seems to occur, the ability to know of events before they happen.

All people are born with these extra sensibilities but are unaware of them until the mind and body are honed to a fine edge and are able to interrelate and function together without harsh interference.

These results are the culmination of endless polishing and honing, through experience, of quite ordinary abilities. This type of warrior is the true master.

But before there is a Meta-Physical stage of achievement, there are: the physical stage and the mental stage.

These two required stages are achieved through the following of the Reactionary Sequence of Fight Training™.

1. Awareness

2. Deciding

3. Preparation

4. Action

5. Feedback

6. Exit (or restart the process)

First, to become aware.

Knowing how to see.

Knowing how to feel their distance from you.

Knowing how to hear 360 degrees around you.

Knowing how to feel their emotions.

Knowing how to feel their intentions.

Knowing how to feel the “psychic-pressure” of their attack before it is launched.

Knowing how to feel your own groundedness and being centered so you can easily and quickly move in any direction.

So, to become more aware, there are methods of training all the senses to a very high degree.

And these awareness drills are from NLP as taught by Steve Andreas, John LaValle and Richard Bandler.

And these awareness secrets are from the Marine Corp Close Combat Manual.

They are from the psychic realm of awareness training as taught by the Hindu awareness of the 6 different energy bodies of mankind (called Dimensions by Edgar Cayce), and the scientific verification methods of Physicist, Dr. William Tiller.

They are from Energy Medicine and the nine energy systems as taught by Donna Eden.

They are from advanced tactics of salesmanship taught by Donald Moine and Kenneth Lloyd.

They are from training in Alpha-Theta meditation and taught in hypnosis, and in the Silva Mind Control, and in my version, “The Kahuna ESP Mind Training™” Series.

They are from honing your tactile and propioceptive “touches” and noticing “pressure” as taught in Therapeutic Touch and Educational Kinesiology.

They are from Traditional Chinese Medicine as taught by Jerry Alan Johnson.

And they are from thousands of hours of quality practice with a great trainer.

(Just a note here: Most people do NOT realize what it takes in training to become a World Class Athlete. Dr. Judd Biasiotto mentions that on the average a world class athlete trains 20-30 hours a week, for eight years, before he makes the grade. Even the “natural” athletes!)

Okay, let’s go over a simple Marine Corp Awareness Calibration Method that I teach my athletes, that I did borrow from the Marine Corp.

I call it “The Color Code of Combat”. (I wrote it up originally in “Secrets of Kenpo Karate”)

There are five basic stages of external mental awareness of any given situation.

These stages have been color coded into different patterns of stress for easier understanding. The colors are white, yellow, orange, red and black.

Since Combat Condition Black is for Killing or Being Killed, I’ll go over that in another article.

Here’s the other four:

Combat Condition One: White depicts innocence and purity, just like the white belt is called “mu kup” a symbol of no-knowledge. At this stage he is most vulnerable. This is the condition of the normal citizen.

He just fumbles around existing throughout life like the character Goofy in a Walt Disney Cartoon Strip.

He is the Mr. Magoo of life.

He does NOT know what is happening and if you tell him, he has difficulty understanding. He has not been hurt yet and feels it cannot happen to him. It’s always someone else.

He is walking in a self-imposed fog and he might as well be asleep at the wheel of a moving vehicle.

Combat Condition Two: Yellow depicts caution, like the flashing yellow light of a traffic signal. It is a stage of general relaxed visual alertness.

He is now aware that you need to look both ways before crossing a one-way street. It is a general mental state of readiness.

This is not a flight or fight hyper-vigilance, but just noticing stuff.

He just tunes his awareness to a higher vibration by scanning outwards and is cognizant of his surrounding environment.

Combat Condition Three: Condition Orange is when he knows or feels that there is a problem.

Like paying attention to driving conditions on icy roads. Like noticing a pre-fight situation in a bar or at a football game.

You take “distance” and “cover” into account, noticing them, even if nothing is yet happening to you.

At this stage he starts to think tactically. He is deciding his plan of action in case something might happen.

This is NOT a fear state of mind, but cool mental preparation.

When a man has developed his internal awareness he will notice “feelings”.

He will notice “gut feelings”, which are feelings of chaos directed towards him by someone else.

Secrets of Remote Sensing!

These negative feelings are picked up by his Third Chakra, the transducer of energy between the ethereal fields, the endocrine system and the hormonal balances of the physical body.

This is the same as when deer hunting. If you are really intent on “shooting a deer” as you look at the deer, the deer with feel those “emotional vibes” at a distance, and will run for concealment and cover.

So will a good martial artist. He will notice the vibes inside of his guts and will know that someone is targeting him.

Like the cop around the corner with his radar on.

More on this “internal-psychic-radar” later.

Combat Condition Four: This is Condition Red.

Eminent danger. The man is attacking you. You are skidding on ice. The tire on the car blows out. Etc.

This is when he knows he faces bodily harm and his life may be in jeopardy. Now he must evade, block, escape, retaliate, get hit, or run like hell.

If it’s a “remote sensing”, then he prepares himself by going into an “auric shield”. (More on this auric shield in the next article)

The Magic Questions of Possibility!

He also asks the magic questions leading to positive possibilities…

… “If I knew what caused this feeling, what would I notice?”

…“If I could prepare for this what would I do right now?”

…“If I knew my first step, what would it be?”

Those magic questions, when backed by quality and long term training will always give you a positive solution.

If you are in a car wreck, time will stop, and you can figure out what to do.

If you are in a fight, you will know what to do and BE DOING it before the attacker launches his first blow.

Here’s the bad news.

Most people can’t do that.

Here’s why they can’t.

For a normal citizen, the mental/emotional shift from Combat Condition One to Combat Condition Five takes between 8-15 seconds!

Some people take 2 weeks to come to any decision about anything.

That is why so many people die with a shocked look on their faces, or a surprised, “What in hell happened?” look on their faces.

On the other hand, a properly trained, disciplined and mentally/emotionally trained martial artist (one who has thousands of experiences actually fighting someone of skill) will be able to snap from condition two to condition five instantly!

In fact his motor responses will be engaged BEFORE he consciously knows what in hell is happening.

This means he will:

1.     Become aware of the problem.

2.     Decide upon a plan of action, and.

3.     Start implementation of the plan in less time than it takes to blink an eye.

A martial artist notices things that are out of place, or out of the ordinary.

Why?

Because…

…While the physical body is being physically conditioned through training, the emotional body and the mental bodies are also being trained.

The mind is being trained for better observation.

The emotional body is being trained to relax and focus during stress and BY-PASS the triple-warmer over-arousal response of freezing, fleeing or fighting.

The Mental Body is being trained to see “possibilities” and “tactics” others cannot see. Think “Art of War” by Sun Tzu.

One must train the senses, the eyes,

And the ears, and the body’s intuitions.

Next to the mind, the eyes are of greatest importance. 80% of what a person learns is through the use of his eyes.

Another 8% is through his hearing.

The other senses make up the remaining 12%.

But the gut feeling, those bodily, emotional intuitions can lead them all “if” the psychic training is done correctly along with the mental training.

Everybody sees, everybody hears, everyone smells, touches and tastes.

We all can do these things but we are not aware of what we are really sensing. We see and we don’t know what we see. We hear and we don’t know what we hear.

That takes training and awareness calibration.

Most of us go through life “seeing” very little of the reactions of the world around us. We do not properly filter the information that our senses give us through the mental processes of the brain.

As a result we often behold things without really seeing them at all.

We receive physical impressions without grasping their meaning to us.

We receive precognitive dreams and thing they are nightmares.

We receive pre-warning through gut feelings and think it’s just the chili we had for dinner.

We all must hone the senses that are picked up by our unconscious minds.

Back in the 70’s there was a popular television show (staring David Carradine) called Kung-Fu.

That show depicted the life and times of a young Shaolin priest.

After a staff (Bo) training session with the blind Master Po, the young man asked, “How can you be so good when you are blind and cannot see?”

Master Po answered back, “Listen!…Close your eyes!…What do you hear?”

The young man closed his eyes, went inward and noticed what he noticed. He replied, “Master, I hear the water running at our feet, the birds in the tree and the wind rustling through the leaves.”

“Do you not hear the grasshopper at your feet scratching his legs together?”

The young priest opened his eyes, looked down and exclaimed, “Master Po, how did you know it was there?”

Master Po retorted, “How did you NOT know it was there! You must train all of your senses so you can hear the beat of your heart and the blood flowing through your veins. It is you who cannot see, not I.”

(NOTE: there is a Hindu fellow that was so good at meditation, and internally aware so much that he was able to notice the flow of blood through his own veins and arteries, and draw them down on paper. Once medical science advanced enough they found out he was 100% accurate. That was several thousand years ago. Cool hunnn!)

And there was even more than that.

A good martial artist can feel when he is grounded or not grounded.

(It is much more complex than most people realize. Our body’s Etheric energies <the meridian specifically>have a specific positive and negative poles, like a magnet. And stress flips those polarities quite easily. When they are flipped, you instantly lose about 50% of your ability to concentrate, and about 50% of your physical coordination and strength. Look at the repercussions of that!)

He can notice when his opposition is grounded or not grounded.

Secrets of Second Sight!

Here’s a specific example of how that is possible.

A good martial artist can look at a magnet and “perceive visually” which is the North Pole of the Magnet and which is the South Pole of the Magnet.

The North Pole pulls in lines of magnetic energy, which are easily visible to the trained auric eye.

The South Pole pushes out lines of magnetic energy, which are also visible to the trained auric eye.

They can also hold a magnet in their hands and feel which side of the magnet is facing their palm.

The North side of a magnet pulls energy from the right palm.

The south side of a magnet pushes energy at the right palm and feels like you are holding two North side together and they are resisting each other.

When a trained martial artist sees you, he can also feel you…he can feel your balance “as if” he is inside of you.

He can “feel your distance” as if he could reach out a hand and touch you.

He can “feel your negative energy (anger, fear, confusion) as if someone threw a bucket of cold water at him.

He knows how to do the Psychic Shield, which is a specific way of strengthening your auric field as if you were wearing a suit of armor.

He knows how to lower YOUR Psychic Shield, so you will be totally defenseless for 2-3 seconds.

He knows how to hit you from 10 feet away before you can blink your eyes!

He knows the REAL Secrets Behind Invisible Strikes!

He knows How to Hit you Eleven Times or More in One Second or Less!

He knows How to Kick you in the Head Before You Can See His Foot Move!

He knows how to hurt and he knows how to heal.

I’ll write more on these Advanced Mental &Psychic Skills of a Warrior with the next article.
