"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

I'm a freestyle kickboxer - now what this means is that it is kickboxing combined with your own style. This is similar to Bruce Lee's Jeet Kun do. I have adapted kickboxing, ju jitsu, grappling and street fighting for an all round effective fighting method so that I am able to handle any situation. I would recommend such a martial art be taken up as a means of fitness, confidence and being able to take care of yourself in a street situation.

Now I will be posting certain techniques and methods but you must bear in mind that this sort of thing is best tought with the aid of pictures and not just words.

To begin with I am going to start with teaching you the fundamentals of being able to throw a knockout punch.
If knocking your opponent flat quickly depended only on impressive muscles then body builders could become boxers and earn millions from knockout wins. Do you know why they don't? It is simply because such a punch does not require awsome body strength. All strength can do is merely intimidate your opponent. Everything is in the technique. Timing, speed, velocity, the theory of power, the body's role, the trajectory of the punching arm, the line of power and the instinct factor are all the elements of becoming a successful power puncher.

Targets
You must know the target to hit before you strike. Such areas include the temple, side of the jaw, point of the chin, and the solar plexus. Other areas including kidney area , just below the heart, the groin, and knees. However these areas wont achieve a knockout but they will set you up for the incapacitating blow.

Now this is going to be a long post so we'll start with this for now and i'll post all you need to know later on. For now make sure you know those weak areas.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Er yes it is possible my naive friend. Firstly not all that you learn needs to be shown first hand to you. With practice you learn and you'll know when you get it right. I have learnt a lot of my techniques from pictureless books and adapted them to my own styles. You must remember I'm not teaching a whole martial art here, I'm simply giving tips, techniques, and the fundamentals to become an efficient fighter - the things that others overlook or cannot understand. Trust me, you'll know what I'm talking about when I finish the rest of my tutorial.

Well if you had any knowledge on fighting you would know that its not as simple as looking and punching. Anyone who thinks they can punch effectively they are probably wrong. They would throw a punch and do no damage. Now I shant bother with this post if all i'm gonna get is critisism from idiots that dont know what they're talking about. Now should I continue?
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Sorry to say it but If i wanted to learn something, I'd want it in a voice, not words. Most people will be too lazy to read, or will misunderstand what they read. Also like denial mentioned, you wont be able to correct them if they're doing the wrong thing.

Wing-chun would be a step down from Shaolin.....

I'm interested too, Lozz. I'm wondering if you know any about Muay Thai. All your knowledge is welcome, just don't be so sassy.

Give me a break. I think you've been watching too much David Carradine with all this death touch, too dangerous to compete,
insta-kill, imploding chi death strike rhetoric.

Seriously, when it comes to martial arts you're about as fickle as a young teenage girl. First you claim to do TKD and that it's the
ultimate style, then it's JKD, then BJJ, then Capoeira, now it's Shaolin. Did I leave any out?

If you're going to go digging, at least make it accurate.

Never even thought TKD was ultimate. I knew it was puss the moment i stepped into the dojo.

BJJ is badass, but I never did it. Just study the books.

Capoeira is sweet.

And Shaolin is the ultimate, thank you.

I've actually never heard of David Carradine. It's Bruce Lee who started in Wing Chun, then made his way UP to Kung Fu. Wing Chun came from Shaolin, and involves less than does Shaolin, so yeah it's a step down.

I think you have a lot to learn before you even think of deeming a certain style as the "ultimate". Besides Shaolin as reference to a style is a generic term, just like "Kung Fu" is. You know how many
styles came from the Shaolin temple? I wouldn't consider any
of them the ultimate.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Let him continue and post more. I'm surprised how many people attack people without first listening to what he has to say.

There are so many forms of martial arts and so much variation in the skill of people practicing them that I imagine it would be very difficult to say what the best form of fighting is.

In fact I think it would be more appropriate to say that the best fighting style for a particular person will be very dependent on alot of their particular physical factors such as size and speed.

Yes, the 108 forms make up Shaolin. Not one of them are ultimate because they are ALL Shaolin. They all combine to create the ultimate. It is not a generic term. There is only one Shaolin KungFu, and it is everything that is body and mind.

Oh, you've learned all you can about shaolin? Did you grow up in the Chinese forest temples?

Wing chun came from shaolin. Everything in wing chung is in shaolin. Hell, everything came from shaolin.

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

I don't believe he was speaking of Shaolin.

Okay let's see here

Boxing, Wrestling, Pankration, the Wu-Dang styles, FMA, Indonesian styles, Muay Thai. A few examples of styles that did NOT come from "shaolin". Some of them pre date it.

Also if you want to get technical, "shaolin" came from India. Not
everything "came" from Shaolin, because it "came" from something else.

Oops.

Well, the original Shaolin monk came from india, but his styles and training developed in China. I guess it would be safer to say that all asian martial arts came from shaolin. Hell, man has been fighting for aeons.
