Greatness
Personified
Now
I see the light.
At the time I couldn't believe what I
was seeing.
Even though I had no idea what was being performed, even as
I was dazed into culture shock by the sheer uniqueness of the
situation, I knew I loved it. It was as if it was from a different
planet, and brought forth a most mesmerizing cosmic experience.
I remember a feeling of heightened alertness as I watched with
childlike enthusiasm, lured into a relaxing hypnotic visual
journey. I didn't have to do anything but sit and observe with
amazement, wonderment, and joy. Such unimaginable speeds, colors,
shapes, all rapped in a beautiful blend of art, science, and
human being. If Roy Williams has ever swung chux in front of
you too than you know the feeling, the Halo Aura experience.
Roy
Williams is the greatest martial artist I have ever seen.
So great in fact that all his greatest attributes such as wisdom,
athleticism, uniqueness, motivation, kindness, as well the greatest
martial arts IQ ever, is often misinterpreted through his humility.
In other words he is the Beethoven, the Elvis Presley, and the
Stradivarius of the Martial Arts, he is the greatest at what
he has conceptionally created and graciously displays. What
he does with a set of Roy Chux in his hands is so far ahead
of anyone else's time, it's impossible to critique or pass judgment
on him.
Unfortunately
for Roy, everyone was ignorant to what they saw, but they are
not necessarily to blame. Nobody has ever moved the chux like
him. Speed, Power or just pure sequence of motion. So he continued
on with his nobility glowing as bright as his flailing glow
chux. He's the first person to really swing chux and do tricky
hand-offs.
He received his Ph.D. in physics and then renamed Roy Rings
"Ratios" as the Lissajous Figures, the traced out
physics patterns of motion that Roy had already created with
the chux.
For
the first time ever martial arts has met physics. What does
this mean? A new system is born from the heart, body, soul and
mind of Roy Williams and his creation of Lissajous Do. The significance
of this revolutionary, a martial art that teaches a person to
teach themselves. Furthermore, Williams now has a full-complete
system in place to teach and convey through the physics of ratio-based
motion, what on earth is it that he is doing? When he throws
the chux they rotate and revolve around his body in such an
orbital fashion that neither a stride in his body nor a phase
in his chux is broke. The chux just seem to soar and take flight
on their own, dancing in the air, returning right back into
the palm of his hand as he immediately falls back into another
blazing move, that's right on the microsecond of the catch.
He moves at light speed, it's impossible to know what it is
he is doing unless you understand the true inherent physics
of the motion that he conducts.
He has
spent a lifetimes worth harnessing and honing into his God-given
talent and intellect. Everyday of thirty some odd years or so
has been greatly spend pursuing the perfection of his craft.
From designing a science of nunchaku martial arts, creating
a black light show, Halo Aura Art - Photos, and yes, even creating
the very chux he swings. Realizing that the chux needed to be
perfectly balanced in order to accurately pull off the maneuvers
he wanted to, he revised the nunchaku. What was once a farming
tool, then a martial arts weapon, has now become an instrument
of motion. As a musician can conduct music through meter, beat
and tempo, Williams was able to now conduct motion through the
timing, rhythm and balance of physics.
This
revelation had made him gallantly proud, as it should. For he
realized with the dawning of this instrument he had created,
he provided a tool which moved the martial arts world in another
direction. He had created a Zen-like, self mastery art, which
he is no doubt the Grand Master of. An art that allows one to
aspire to be a champion in the martial arts community without
having to fight, or conquer somebody else. In essence allowing
a person to become one with the chux, self and of the earth.
In all of my time learning from Grand Master Roy Williams, I
know he is most proud of creating something peaceful, that can
joyfully bring people together in harmony. A universal art that
is completely free of all race, religion, age, gender, political
or any other barrier known to man's existence. His ability for
sharing his inner beauty and genius through his majestic art
that genuinely touches people is spectacular and legendary.
Second to NONE.
Roy
Williams walks a higher path, not just for the greatness of
his performing talent but his kindness and desire to treat others
with respect. His humanitarian efforts are parallel to his martial
arts phenomenon. His consistent relentless desire to succeed
and help others succeed at their goals, is extremely aspiring.
Personally, I could not have asked for a more perfect teacher.
When I first saw him swing chux, I was stumped. I hadn't a clue
as to what it was he did that separated him from everyone else.
I remember wishing to myself to be able to swing chux like that
someday. Roy Williams took me into his studio, under his wing
and showed me how. I learned much more than how to swing chux
from him too, I've learned to believe in myself, and believe
in what I do. I learned to constantly strive to be a better
person. I learned to be proud of who I am, where I came from,
and where I am going. I found inner strength in his love and
passion for life. He has indeed helped, guided and assisted
me to realize my hopes, dreams and potential, and I cannot thank
him enough.
GRAND
MASTER ROY WILLIAMS ~ Thank You for being a kind friend, role
model, and teacher. For enlightening me with your wisdom, knowledge
and martial arts system. Thank You for all the time and sacred
information that you have passed onto me. If it wasn't for your
graciousness of actually breaking down, step by step, ratio
by ratio, move to move...that you have for ALL OF US, we wouldn't
do what it is that we do, or how it is that we do it... As each
passing day moves forward my love grows deeper for swinging
chux, and I gain a renewed appreciation for life. I respectfully
and humbly know it is a great honor and will do my undeniable
best to carry the holy tradition.
Sincerely,
Zubin
