Tactical Martial Arts

Tactical means: thinking within the given direction of a 'Filmthis ...-command'.

Martial Arts means: the Art of the military nature.

The purpose of the Martial Arts is fighting without giving damage, this is an Art.

Not damaging is achieved by non-violence motivation and actions: negative energies are reflected away, or backwards, or foreseeing at all times without having a violent motif.

Casting International practices this Art on a tactical level; meaning: showing how problems can be solved on a non-violent way, by telling stories with 'food for thoughts’.

The Point of Views in which a story is been told, come from completely different cultures and times, or are those of famous, brilliant or wise people.

These people can already be deceased or still alive,
but this last group is at most quoted in the film stories.

The use of such view(s) in visualizations in film stories by Casting International create unexpected solutions for problems.

Depending on the problem, there are 3 types of mirrors:

• the Tibetan mirror;
• the Chinese mirror;
• the Japanese mirror.

Finding a solution has 2 phases:

1. A creative phase: in which perspectives are used, giving alternative solutions as an advise.
   An advise is not prescriptive, but for contemplation and perspective.
   Each advice has as its motto:

   Do you think these advises are useful: use them!;
   if not: don’t use them, because being yourself is purpose of life.

   During this creative process there are no taboos;
   That makes the advice at first sometimes rather shocking, because it is not always ''politically correct''.

2. The production phase: the advice is visualized.
   Firstly in a script, followed by a scenario and a screenplay;
   The next step is to produce the film.
   Advantage of this road map is that the advice-messages become 'diplomatic' by the visualizations.

The end result is often astonishing, we named it rubbernecking.

Art as cultivation:

Like a mirror consists of:

1. hardware (glass + a silver paint layer),
2. software (reflections), and
3. only functions by means of light;

on this way the practitioner of this (military) Art sees him/herself too:

1. the hardware is the body and the senses,
2. the software is the (mind) perception,
3. both only function together by consciousness.

When practiced, this Art seeks a commitment of complete non-violence during the (military) fight, with the purpose to create compassion.
The aim of this ‘Art of the military nature' is to transform aggression into (the wisdom of) compassion.

Aggression is an energy form of 'don’t want to have' expressing itself in action, speech, or thoughts.

Thus the practitioner fights as if he/she is a mirror, non-violent in an aggressive environment.
Malicious acts of the opponent are reflected away (Tibetan),
or (if it is not otherwise) mirrored back to the source (Chinese) in the form of 'the aggressor strikes himself'.
Our technology adds an extra dimension to it: the film- & hightech video camera is the ultimate nonviolent mirror, the softpower weapon of our 2000 time we live in.

The (Tibetan) Martial Arts is tactically focused on reflecting aggression-energies away.
The (Chinese) Martial Arts is tactically focused on reflecting aggression-energies back.
The (Japanese) Martial Arts is focused on reflecting aggression-energies by foreseeing.

Extra values

Compared to other forms of life on Earth, Human Being can fully differentiated choose by its ability for a conscious non-violent life.

In the West this Art-form is socially not recognized, in the Netherlands there are no subsidies for it.
While this Artistic way of life has very high regards in the (Far) East.

Education about the Art of reflecting aggression away, back, or by foreseeing, is done by Casting International in film productions as cinematic edutainment.

By using the camera as ultimate non-violent weapon, other forms of art, as well as the relation between the artist and the art product, can be combined effortlessly.

The tactical Martial Arts Point of Views deserve here in the West a higher status because it makes the World directly better by ‘cultivation of non-violence as an Art'.

The tactical Martial Arts can also be used effectively against non-linear motivated actions of terrorism causing damages against societies and civilians.

This is a short summary.
