I like this scene. The characters in the cartoon are consistently amusing and entertaining.

In this scene, Master Roshi has run out of energy. Goku realizes this means Master Roshi can no longer fly. Goku shoots him with a Kamehameha wave which knocks Master Roshi into the air. Goku then jumps up and kicks Master Roshi out of the ring. Every claps because Goku has won.

Then Master Roshi calls the announcer over. When Master Roshi fell, he stuck one of his feet into the concrete of the side of the ring. He then held his body erect over the ground so that none of the rest of his body touched the ground.




What he is doing can be called full body integration. This is a real life kung fu principle. It is possible to change your body so that it is all one unit that is under your control. A person with this ability can, in real life, lock their body and make it act as one big piece similar in the way that Master Roshi has locked his body into one big piece.

This concept is one of the ways that kung fu practioners can generate so much power.

Master Roshi in his guise as Jacky Chun and Goku are in the final battle. Master Roshi is almost finished and must come up with an idea to win. He notices that Goku is short, with short legs, and challenges Goku to a final charge. The both kick each other in the jaw and knock each other out simultaneously.

You have to wait thru the entire sequence to reach the meaningful information. After the attack, they both struggle to get up and be declared winner. Finally Master Roshi gets up and says he wins. At about 3:55 in the video, Master Roshi says, "I could strike much deeper than Goku. That is the only way I won".

When Goku and Master Roshi charged, a person might think that Master Roshi's longer legs would hit Goku first, before Goku's short leg's could hit Master Roshi. They might believe that is why Master Roshi won. This is not true. Master Roshi won because he struck deeper as he said.

Internal Martial arts are designed to penetrate into the body. When Master Roshi says he struck deeper, he means that his foot might have penetrated into Goku's body by 8 inches whereas Goku's shorter legs could only penetrate into Master Roshi's body by 2 inches for example.



As usual the cartoonists with their knowledge of martial arts depicted what happened very well. If you look at Goku's foot, doesn't it look like it is just barely touching Master Roshi's chin? Master Roshi's head is still erect and facing forward. The only effect of the kick seems to be compression of one eye so that it is smaller.

If you look at Master Roshi's foot, his foot is in contact with the entire side of Goku's face. Goku's head is turned by the extra length of Master Roshi's foot instead of looking forward at the target like Master Roshi's head is. Master Roshi's foot physically occupies the position that Goku's head wants to be in. The amount that the face has turned from the forward position over to the side, perhaps a number of inches, would be described as the amount of deeper penetration that Master Roshi's kick does.

This video is of a recurring theme in DBZ. Whenever Master Roshi thinks about women, his nose begins to spurt like a geyser. Most people think this is humorous or an artifice of the show. It is based, like most other things in DBZ, on a real life idea.

People are grounded. That is to say they can be described as having something like roots that normally stick into the ground. The stronger a kung fu person is, the stronger their root should be. If these roots are cut or broken, they act like a rubber band. All the force that the roots hold onto by being anchored into the ground is freed. The force bounces back up into the body and can cause damage or ill health problems.

Master Roshi is a strong kung fu man with a strong ground. Thinking about sex makes him lose control of his ground. When this happens, because he is so strong, when all of that force snaps back up into his body when his ground is cut, the pressure causes his nose to spurt blood like a geyser.

When Master Roshi stops thinking about women, the sexual thoughts no longer interfere with his control of his ground. He regrounds himself and everything is back to normal.
