In part one we discussed that a person has to know something, and not just in the general monkey see monkey do sense of the current legion of so called masters. This article has to do with the second and even more important missing ingredient upon the part of todays masters. This article has to do with the amount of knowledge a master must have to be a Master.

Yes, a fellow can study an art and say he has mastered that art. He can get so good at karate, for instance, that nobody can beat him. That, however, doesn’t make him a master.

To be able to destroy somebody using a particular martial art is very limited in scope. Destruction, you see, is a very short sighted thing. While there can be an art to destruction, the true martial art is one of control.

How do you control somebody who is actively engaged in trying to harm you or your loved ones? You must learn more than one art, and this means you must learn both the arts that result in destruction, and the arts which teach one to control an opponent without harming him. You’ve got to learn the difference between the factors of force and flow, which is another way of saying you must be able to bash something, or control it.

Destroy something and it is no longer around to bother you, but this has another side to it. This means that you have no more authority or power over whatever it is you destroyed. True mastery is a perpetuating state whereby you can sustain your power and authority over your subject even into the future, no matter what.

In the first article I said you had to know something about something. In this article I am telling you have to know everything, and one other thing. I am telling you that you must have power and authority even over those strange and unreasoning things called people.

Having power and authority over not just things, or an art and all its moves is not enough. You must have power and authority over people. You must not just know the moves, you must be able to apply them, selectively, your choice, at any time and any place over any person.

Now, having defined a master, consider those who call themselves a master. Can they just hurt and destroy people, and especially those who subject themselves to their teachings? Or have they studied a wide range of arts, and can apply those arts, the technique of their choice, to anybody at any time?
