Slow Walking Part Two

I was in Willits, California putting on a karate demonstration for a couple of hundred kids the second time I ever slow walked. As I finished the showing the kids what karate was I noticed a fellow standing at the far end of the gymnasium. Standing alone, he was big and rather ominous.

What was he doing at a demo for kids if he didn’t have a kid? Making up my mind, I began to walk slowly towards him. Time began to stretch and stretch as I walked slower and slower. It was only a hundred feet to him, but it seemed to take forever to reach him.

He was sweating and starting to shake by the time I reached him. I threw out a big grin, introduced myself and offered my hand. Relief bubbled from him as he shook my hand.

The fellow was a tree faller, and turned out to be one of the nicest fellows I had ever met. The reason he was at the demonstration was because he wanted to see karate. Living out in the woods, he had never actually seen it.

The thing that most interested him, however, was what I had first done to him when we had met. He later told me that it seemed like the world was caving in on him. He admitted later that he had almost lost control of his bladder.

If you practice a classical karate that has been made true slow walking is easy to do. This means you must make sure you know what the moves mean when you translate them into actual usage, and you must align the time and shape of your form. If you learn how to do this then you can experience the true bubble of your perceptions, which is what your true body is.

Time is a method for measuring the universe. Time is something that we perceive. If you can control the universe, and it starts with controlling your body, then you can control time.

Of course the trick is to perfect your art, and enter The True Art, and then to increase your magnitude. For if you can control your body, and your time, then you can control another’s body, and you can influence his perception of time. A simple trick, but it require immense dedication to form and detail and such.
