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 Laliwala
