Kung Fu Artist - Respect for Elders - RR Fight - Blinded by The Mind

Kung Fu Artist

I've decided that they can take the "Martial Arts" label, they can have it, I'm not fighting for it anymore, all the Fighters and Combat Sport Fighters can have that label. I have decided to express my Art with another label, I don't need their approval or their acknowledgment in anything. Getting the support from people like you is what's important to me. I am not a "Martial Artist" because a "Martial Artist" is essentially seen as a Fighter in the public's eyes, and I am clearly not a Fighter. So my new label for myself is a Kung Fu Artist, I'm not a "Martial Artist", I'm a Kung Fu Artist. Like Bruce Lee's book, "The Artist of Life."

Respect for Elders

Much respect needs to be given to the elders, they have been through more, they have experienced more, they have given life to the young. We live in a culture that disrespects elders and that is a shame. In the Chinese culture it is the opposite, elders are given the greatest amount of respect and the young are taught to be very humble. There is much that America can learn from China in this respect.

RR Fight

I have never been a big fan of Boxing or any combat sport for that manner, I have always been interested in studying the Chinese Martial Arts and the Way of Bruce Lee. But seeing some of these Boxers such as Floyd Mayweather, I am very impressed with his level of skill and development. Recently, I have also seen the records of a lot of other well known Boxers such as Muhammed Ali, Lennox Lewis, Mike Tyson, Manny Pacquiao, Sugar Ray Lenard, etc. And I see that pretty much all of the greatest Boxers have proven themselves over and over again in nearly 50 fights or above. There is even a Boxer named Roberto Duran that has a total of 119 fights logged. Now that shows the skill level of Boxing. Winning 10 fights is nothing, winning 20 is nothing, Boxers have to win about 30 or 40 fights in a row before they become recognized. Compare this to RR 12, that is nothing.

Another thing I wish to mention is this. How many women do you personally know seriously train how to fight? Of all the women I've met in my entire life, I don't even know one personally! That just goes to show you how easy it would be to dominate that field if a woman put all her energies into perfecting the Art of Fighting, basically, if you are a woman, there is no competition, that is the only reason why RR could win 12 in a row, because simply stated, there are not many women in this entire world that even have the interest in becoming world class fighters.

Boxing has been around for a long time, it has an established history, that is why you will find much more talent and skill in that Sport, because it has been around for so long and millions have tried to become the best and only a few have built a name for themselves to become considered one of the greatest, that is why UFC will never be able to compare, they cannot overcome history.

RR is talented in the ground, but she could not even prove to be the best in that field, as far as I know, she did not win the olympics in her specialty. If she cannot even prove to be the best in her very own specialty, how can she possibly prove to be the best in something that is not her specialty, such as stand up fighting?

Boxing and Wrestling are two completely different sports. Mixing them together like what they do in UFC just creates a big disorganized mess, a bunch of rejects from both sports. Stand up fighters don't want to fight on the ground and ground fighters don't want to fight standing up. In a competitive context, people will always learn towards what they are good at. All they are proving is something that is already obvious. A Boxer will lose if you force him to wrestle and a wrestler will lose if you force him to box. A basketball player is not meant to play football. A football player is not meant to play basketball, these sports are separated for a reason.

Never will there ever be a single person that will be considered the Best Boxer of All Time and then at the same time be considered the Best Wrestler of all Time. Both sports need their time to perfect in which to gain great skill and proficiency within that sport. Like trying to be the best Doctor in the world and also the best lawyer in the world. You can't, you don't have the time to do both, you need to choose one or else become mediocre in both.

The biggest hype RR of the UFC gets completely demolished by a humble unknown Boxer, goes to show how fake the UFC really is. RR was even challenging Floyd Mayweather, the Master of Boxing who is a man, and here she gets completely demolished by another woman whom is even older than her.

Blinded by The Mind

If someone who is unconscious is assessing your consciousness, there is no way that he can assess you from the proper perspective because he is unconscious himself, it is like the blind leading the blind. Enlightenment cannot come by the attainment of some degree, but the society has no other way to assess between whom is qualified and whom is not so they inevitably become dependent on these degrees. But $80 is considered cheap over here, normally they charge $300/hr and up where I live, and the insurance pays for most of it, they makes lots of money.  

I give them much credit for all the handwork that is required to obtain the degree but all that hard work is only of the mind, none of it is about meditation, and that is where they go wrong. Their minds keep growing stronger and stronger, their Ego's get so strong that it becomes a barrier towards their spiritual growth and the development of wisdom, the result is someone whom is blinded by his own mind and ego whom has a respected degree but yet no inner spiritual transformation within.

A True Artist

A True Artist

I see that a true Artist is honest to his heart; he expresses himself honestly from within.  He is not aiming for the approval of others, he is self-expressive.  When you aim to satisfy the masses, you may gain popularity, but that does not make you an Artist.  If you produce what others want you to produce, you are not an Artist, you are more of a machine, it is like working at a factory.  You create according to what the masses wish for you to create. 

Working at a McDonald’s and producing hamburgers according to the corporate recipe, does not make you an Artist, you are a factory worker, you are like a machine, what you want to change, what you want to create and add or take away is disallowed.  This is not creativity. 

If you cook at home, if you create your own recipe, if you experiment with different ingredients and create something that is unique to yourself and an expression of your creativity from within, this is Art.  Your cooking will never be mass-produced like McDonald’s but that does not mean it is low quality.  Nobody may know of your creativity, nobody may have tasted your food except for you and your family, but it does not mean it is low quality.  It is true creativity. 

The masses may not approve.  The masses are addicted to false food, the masses are addicted to trash food, the masses will not approve of your creativity, but it does not mean it is low quality.  You may never be able to profit from you creativity the way McDonald’s has profited, but it does not mean it is of low quality. 

If the masses are unintelligent then what will be considered popular will be unintelligent content.  If the masses are obese then the McDonald’s Martial Art school owners will become rich by devising a curriculum that will certify obese students to be considered so-called advanced Martial Artists. 

As an Artist, if you judge your success as an Artist based upon your rate of approval from the masses, you are not a true Artist, you are a conformer, you are a puppet, you are a machine, you are something else, you are not an Artist.  An Artist is someone that is completely original, who has no fear to be himself.  An Artist is someone who has the courage to stand against the masses.  An Artist is like a Jesus, a Socrates, a Buddha, a Osho, a Lao-tzu.  An Artist is someone who will likely be laughed at by the masses.  If the masses did not laugh at the Artist, the Artist is not truly an Artist.  This is a saying in the Tao.  The Tao would not be the Tao if it was not laughed at by the masses. 

The masses do not know the Way.  It is impossible for the masses to know the Way.  The Way is an individual journey, an individual discovery, an individual awakening.  A true Artist can never be mass produced.  You cannot become an Artist simply by just joining a group or becoming a member of some organization. 

True love is hidden, true Art is hidden.  Lust is everywhere, the exploitation of sex is everywhere, love is not so easily found.  Propaganda is everywhere, media used as a way of mind control is everywhere, true Art is not easily found, true Art is hidden. 

Criminals are everywhere, corrupted police are everywhere, but where are the armed citizens who are neither criminals nor the corrupted Police?  The Real Martial Artists in this world are hidden, they are not found in combat sport, they are rarely found in mass media, they are hidden within society.
