Book Description
Matrixing is the science of the martial arts. Matrix Kung Fu (Monkey Boxing) was one of the first matrixing courses. It was presented at MonsterMartialArts.com, and has proven to be a rock hard, best seller. This is because it presents the 'alphabet' of joint locks and stand up takedowns. Students of the martial arts are quite pleased when they 'take a gander' at this material. This is because it reduces the subject of joint locks and stand up takedowns to an easy and logical science, which facilitates learning greatly. Indeed, people who study this course become adept, and even expert, within a few months. The material presented here, in this book, is the original material of the video course of the same name. Students are encouraged to avail themselves of the accompanying videos through MonsterMartialArts.com. About the Author: Al Case began martial arts in 1967.
