[I:http://mymartialartsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/AlCase3.jpg]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.

Houston Alexander confirms his Dec. fifth bout with Kimbo Slice. Though, this could be a ploy to make people think Slice isn’t coming back to the TUF 10 tournament:According to MMANewsFree.com.

“Yeah, Kevin Ferguson. On December 5th. The fight was presented to us and we didn’t even hesitate.

… My hand is healed up well from the Sherman Pendergarst fight. We sparred on Sunday and it was 6 guys. We went 11 – 3 minute rounds. I’m practicing boxing, takedown defense, it’s just crazy.

…I plan to peak at the time of the fight and work out the morning of the fight to get my blood flowing.

Current WWE executive, and Vice President Shane McMahon, who will leave the company at the beginning of January, is looking into the possibility of buying a financial interest within the UFC, and has cashed out $50 of his $80 million dollars in WWE stock to do so.

UFC President Dana White has always said that he would be willing to let someone take a ‘piece of the pie’ in his billion dollar empire, and while it may seem unorthodox, Shane McMahon would be the perfect partner. It is reported that Shane and the UFC President have already had meetings, and Shane was also present in the crowd at UFC 91.

[I:http://mymartialartsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/AlCase9.jpg]The problem with freestyle is that it has changed into the simple act of fighting. Sounds contradictory, I know, but I began learning martial arts back in the middle of the last century, and I have seen a different face of freestyle. This was a freestyle that was actually more effective, easier to learn, and made students evolve into better human beings.

Now, I have nothing against mixed martial arts, or UFC, or learning ground and pound and all the other types of freestyle. Truth, I think some of this stuff would have been awfully useful back when I was first learning the arts. That said, consider the following objections that I have.
