This is the training manual from the original Monster Martial Art course! You are urged to get the accompanying video. Pa Kua Chang (Eight Trigrams Palm Manuevers) is considered one of the three 'internal sisters' of the martial arts. It creates good health, a long life, and some of the best self defense moves in the world. Butterfly Pa Kua Chang is the matrixing of that art, which is to say that the art has become logical and scientifically correct. The unfortunate truth is that the simple concepts inherent in Pa Kua Chang have become somewhat akin to a Chinese fire drill. It has become an immense labyrinth of twining motions that is difficult to learn, to remember, and especially to apply (in a fight). With this course that all ends. The student is taken step by gradient step through the labyrinth, with the concepts becoming clearer and clearer, and easier and easier to apply. Students will be astounded at how quickly and thoroughly they can learn this unique and important style of self defense. The student is encouraged to avail himself or herself of the first book in this series, 'The Shaolin Butterfly.' About the author: Al Case entered his first dojo in 1967. He lived through the Golden Age of Martial Arts, studying such arts as Kenpo, Karate, Wing Chun, Aikido, Northern Shaolin Ton Toi, Southern Shaolin Fut Ga, and Pa Kua Chang. He became a writer for the magazines in 1981, and had his own column in Inside Karate. He is the originator of Matring Technology and Neutronic Philosophy. His website is MonsterMartialArts(dot)com.

THE SHAOLIN BUTTERFLY (The book) Shaolin Kung Fu Training INCLUDES VIDEO LINKS! THIS IS A COMPLETE BOOK/VIDEO COURSE! Learning Shaolin Kung Fu can be long and confusing. There are long routines with marginal self defense movements, esoteric theories about chi, and 'true' histories that everybody argues over. If you are familiar with Al Case's work in matrixing you know that he believes in logic, and not unworkable theories taught through endless ritual. This system of Shaolin Kung Fu, The Shaolin Butterfly, is derived directly from Fut Ga Shaolin, which is often considered to be the oldest form of Shaolin in existence. Instead of endless, confusing forms there is a specific pattern the Butterfly forms follow. This pattern is easy to remember, works in all directions, and focuses on six specific principles found in Fut Ga. The forms are short and incredibly easy to learn, to remember, and, most importantly, to use. There are a few applications, and a series of two man forms, and these demonstrate a workability that becomes intuitive almost as fast as the student can learn the form. The system has been designed to link to another old system of kung fu, Pa Kua Chang. This is the first time in the history of Kung Fu that this has been done. To insure that there is no confusion Al has provided links to the videos of the original Shaolin Butterfly DVD course. If you are serious about learning Shaolin Kung Fu, this book is the way to go. You will find the forms simple and logical. The patterns will be easier to learn. You will be able to remember the moves easily. Self defense will become intuitive in a very short period of time. The concepts will be easy to understand. YOU WILL LEARN IN ONE TENTH THE TIME! If you require more information please go to Monster Martial Arts. Al has been studying the martial arts since 1967.

TAP INTO FIFTY YEARS OF MARTIAL ARTS EXPERIENCE The martial arts have degraded tremendously since they were introduced to America. Most people think they are nothing more than tournaments and fighting. Are you learning one of these so called 'fighting arts?' Then you might not be learning the real martial arts at all. In this book, 'Tiger and Butterfly (Martial Arts System), the author presents a complete system designed to correct this degradation of art. There are seven (belt) levels. Each level has specific drills designed to create the unique martial arts energy known as 'chi power.' Each level has unique, 'street usable' techniques. Each level has a small but powerful form. These forms will create the classical power that made the martial arts so powerful...before they became corrupted. These forms are only 3-7 steps, yet they encompass all the classical moves. There are two man versions of every drill. Students who learn these forms won't be put off by long, intricate dance moves that are hard to learn, difficult to use, and don't always make sense. The book is written from the viewpoint of how to teach the system, so it is particularly useful for martial arts instructors who have found themselves locked into the 'please the student' corruption, and who want to get their art back to the magic they first experienced so many years ago. About the author: Al Case began martial arts in 1967. He studied such arts as Karate, Wing Chun, Aikido, Northern and Southern Shaolin, Pa Kua Chang and Tai Chi Chuan. He was present when the martial arts were gaining a toehold in America, and he watched how they became degraded and ineffective. Eventually he originated Matrixing logic to help reverse the downward spiral of martial ability. If you want to make your fighting art into a real martial art, complete with devastating kicks, workable grab arts, and two man forms that pump up your power, the 'The Tiger and The Butterfly' is the book for you.
