| ROCK: The Ultimate Martial Art |

The world of martial arts is inhabited by many frauds and charlatans, as well as dedicated believers. To increase their egos, and gain more power and money, some martial artists simply defraud the public; while others truly believe in their martial arts, even if there is no factual, logical, or reasonable basis for their beliefs.
In today’s world, especially since the advent of the Internet, anyone with an outrageous belief, such as being able to stop an attacker with pure mind control, may find and attract followers who will believe in them. These people truly believe in their beliefs, regardless of contrary facts, logic, or reason; some are even willing to die for those beliefs, such as those in the Heaven’s Gate cult.
Look around the room you are in and choose any small object. You could easily found a martial art based upon this object and make yourself the art’s grand master. Some mainline martial arts began this way; the founder picked an object, such as a farm tool, and then founded a martial art based on the use of the object as a weapon; giving all techniques complicated names, creating forms, and creating a mystic philosophy about the object that made its use seem exotic and special.
ROCK had its origin when a humanoid first picked up a rock and threw it at another humanoid. Since that time, humans have always informally used rocks as weapons, but, I, the founder, soke, and ethereal supreme grand master of ROCK, revived the ancient rock techniques and created the martial art of ROCK. Until I founded ROCK, the techniques, methods, and philosophies of using rock as weapons were only informally passed by word of mouth from one generation to the next. I formally codified the use of rocks as weapons and created a new martial art. Although the martial art of ROCK is a recent creation, its weapon techniques are ancient and predate any other martial weapon ever known to exist.
Rocks are found everywhere on earth, so they are always available for use when needed.
Rocks are free, so there is no cost for rock weapons.
The techniques of ROCK are so simple that anyone may quickly learn to use them.
Of course, ROCK is considered a “hard” fighting style. It is also considered a “linear” style since even ROCK masters have not mastered the technique of throwing a curve rock.
As weapons, rocks are practically indestructible. Therefore, your favorite rock will last a lifetime and it may pass down to your successors upon your death.
