Institute Martial Art Science International

What is Martial Art Science (MAS): at first, it is neither a complex nor an unfamiliar subject. In essence, it is the Yin and the Yang of a description of the thing itself. Bruce Lee said it best from his now famous line from his movies and interviews, "it punches all by itself," or the line, "water can crash or it can flow," "be like water my friend!" 

M.A.S. is the totality of the Practice or Discipline of any and all "survival" Technology, Methodology Philosophy, Psychology, Application or Way & all reasoning behind it. It allows one the ability to survive under all circumstance & any contingency. It is not just the Internal facets but the External together divided by its difference & center points, surrounded by the circumstance under which it finds itself. 

It is said that, understanding of the parts of the whole, leads to an understanding the total "sum" whole of the parts and therefore leads to understanding the Self, the Universe and the Way.

 MAS describes the way in which we cope, connect, comprehend and interact with all the elements of the universe within its entirety, through the mind, body & spirit. It is the way we survive, exist, continue to exist, proliferate, self-preserve and continue to develop and evolve.

The disciplines of the way (MAS), which are many, have developed throughout recorded & unrecorded history by and through necessity, mind power and sheer will. science, posture-stance, persistence, attitude, etc., and are as varied in style, approach, belief & practice, philosophy, as there are practitioners, who endeavor to discover & explore all its Internal and External elements. 

All are Warriors; therefore, all are on The Warriors Path, all have Warrior’s Mind. (Body & Soul).

As we struggle to survive, we eat, we learn, we grow; we do so within our own context and as individuals, we strive for ourselves. 

As we continue on the Warrior’s Path however, we also continue to surpass our own growth, to connect to our growing, to our environment, to our humanity, to evolve to a higher state of being.

We surpass our basic instincts and desire for mere existence, and we begin to connect to our Humanity, to evolve to a future existence as beings of higher intellect, ability, understanding, compassion and reason.

Our journey to survive as an individual, powerful, capable, intelligent and independent beings, is only a small infinitesimal part of a larger reality which now goes beyond a quest for enlightenment within, but now becomes a journey to secure a future for all of mankind and enlightenment without.

Throughout time, natural selection and other favorable factors or conditions have allowed some species the natural ability to survive, to overcome insurmountable odds & circumstance and come through even thrive through the harshest of  environment. These gifts which have allowed us these advantages are at least Biological, Physical & Psychological and Universal in nature at best.

Practically speaking, the "ultimate goal" for any living species is their survival & the continuation of their species, as well as permanent, positive growth or change toward the evolution of that species. This cannot occur outside the relative balance that must exist & accompany the process with all its pluses and minuses.

We begin with the origins of time, space and reality as we know it.
