This video is a continuation of the Hypnotism video in the previous entry.

In the beginning, Master Roshi walks towards Goku as he continues to make the hand motions. Look at the way that Master Roshi moves. He is drawn so that he seems to skip from spot to spot.

This is an attempt by the cartoonists to convey what the subject of a hypnotic attack will feel like.

As their awareness comes and goes, they lose contact with what is going on. When Goku loses awareness, Master Roshi is still moving forward. When Goku regains awareness, from his mental perspective, Master Roshi has teleported or jumped a foot or so to a new position.

As an added bonus, watch how Master Roshi's feet move as he walks forward. Nothing happens by accident. Master Roshi's legs and feet move as they do for a very specific reason. Not a hard thing to figure out or particularly mysterious. It is purposeful though, not just an accident of cartoon drawing.

In this video, Master Roshi completes the hypnotizing. He puts Goku to sleep with what Master Roshi calls "The Sleepy Boy Technique". The announcer gives Master Roshi trouble because the fight ended with hypnotism, not physical fighting.

at :20 seconds, Master Roshi clearly says "The Sleepy Boy Technique(hypnotism) is a martial arts clasic. This is not a piece of dialog for a cartoon. This statement is true. Not that the Sleepy Boy Technique is a classic, but that hypnotism in general is one of the advanced techniques of martial arts.

At 36: seconds, Master Roshi makes another honest statement. The announcer continues to insist that hypnotism is not a fair end to the fight.

Master Roshi says "It is the boys fault for falling for it". This is true. A person can train themselves to become aware of hypnotic attacks and to resist them. It is not a big deal. Awareness of what is happening is usually enough to stop the attack.

Becuase Goku is an innocent child, he has no knowledge of hypnotic attacks. He is naive which is why the elderly and worldy Master Roshi succeeds in hypnotizing him.

4 Meg Xvid MPEG 3 - The Sleepy Boy Technique

This video shows Goku being rescued from the Sleepy Boy attack. It is quite humourous the way it happens. It is also a depiction of how this process works in real life.

First Master Roshi describes why he has to beat Goku in the tournament. It is a good story so I put it in.

Goku is laying on the ground asleep. Everyone thinks the fight is over. Suddenly Bulma, who is in the audience has an inspiration. She shouts out "Goku, your dinner is ready!".

Goku wakes up and runs around looking for dinner. Master Roshi can't believe it. This is real life. If you are around a person who is being hypnotized, one way to stop the hypnotism is to talk about something important to the person. The person's love for the subject being discussed will bring his awareness back to the foreground and defeat the hypnotic attack.

5 Meg Xvid MPEG 3 - Breaking a Hypnotic Attack

This video shows Goku asking Master Roshi, "Where is the dinner?". Master Roshi is gets angry and shouts at Goku "Don't be a goofball, we are fighting".

When this happens, Master Roshi is drawn in a particular way. His eyes pop out of his head and other parts of his body also change.



If you can understand why Master Roshi's surprise is drawn the way it does, you will understand another very basic principle of martial arts.

2 Meg Xvid MPEG 3 - Loss of Control
I don't want to explain everything to you. If I do, you stop thinking and looking for yourself.

This cip is very special. It is a clip of Master Roshi and Goku both preparing to fire a Kamehameha wave at the other.

You want to watch Master Roshi and Goku as they prepare for the Kamehameha. Scrutinize, examine, inspect. Starting at about :33 seconds. The japanese creators of the cartoon purposefully drew what you see. They did not make it up or invent it out of thin air.

If you can understand what you are looking at, you will understand one of the most basic ideas about any type of kung fu.

Good Luck!

6 Meg Xvid MPEG 3 - Kamehameha Mystery

This video is of Master Roshi preparing for a mental attack on Goku. The Kamehameha attack failed which has forced Master Roshi to employ his highest level skills.

As with the above video, inspect, examine and scrutinize. You want to watch Master Roshi's hands and his body position.

If you can understand what exactly he is doing, you will understand high level martial arts. Mental and physical control over other people without touching them. The posture and movements are no accident. The Japanese cartoonists put their knowledge of kung fu and real life into this depiction.

8 Meg Xvid MPEG 3 - Mental Attack Mystery
In this video, Master Roshi is talking to Nam. Nam's village is without water. Nam is fighting in the contest to win money to buy water to take back to the village. Master Roshi says to Nam, "Here is a dynocap, it can be used to transport anything, including water".

Nam is astonished and says "How did you know I need water?". Master Roshi says "Minds are like books. Easy to read if you know how". Master Roshi is in disguise when he says this. After the declaration, Nam realizes that the man must be Master Roshi.

Nam does not question for one second that Master Roshi read his mind. Nam knows that a master can do such things. This is not just a cartoon gimmick. This is reality. If you practice kung fu, at some point in time you may develop mental abilites of various sorts. The japanese creators of the cartoon did not make this up. They have encountered or know of a situation like this in real life and they have used the idea in the cartoon.


4 Meg Xvid MPEG 3 - Minds are like Books

In this video, Nam and Goku are fighting. Initially there is a sequence of fighting that sets up the situation. Nam has hit Goku and stunned him. Nam says "Now is my chance", and begins to run at Goku for the final attack. This happens at about :27 seconds into the video.

Pay attention to how Nam runs. When Nam runs, his head is stationary. His body is twisting and moving as it runs. The head is rock steady, focused forward for the attack. Running in this manner is a high level kung fu skill. It is as if the head is on a peg that is stuck down into a hole in the neck. The body can rotate all around the peg as much as wants without affecting the position of the peg with the head on top.

It is really possible to run like that. To hold the head steady and focused while the body is moving violently or quickly. You can find real people moving in this manner in some Japanese movies.
