In the cartoon, the characters start out at a certain level in the practice of the martial arts. As they progress they show various changes such as bigger muscles etc. The Dragonball series is chronologically before the Dragonball Z series. The Dragonball Z people are therefore more powerful and advanced in their practice of martial arts.<\/span><\/p>\n

The feet on the more advanced fighters in the Dragonball Z series have a distinctive shape. They look like this.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Dragonball_Z_Fighters_Feet-VegetaSittingFootOut\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\nThis is no accident. It is also not an artistic choice. The reason the feet are drawn like this is because a person who practices internal martial arts for a long enough time will develop feet that resemble those shown in the picture.<\/span><\/p>\n

Most people greet this claim with skepticism. People are lied to so much these days it is hard to get them to listen to anything. The skepticism can easily be dismissed if a person were only to look at the world around them and think and observe.<\/span><\/p>\n

Are you familiar with woman\u2019s shoes? Here is a picture of a pair of woman\u2019s shoes.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Dragonball_Z_Fighters_Feet-WomensHighHeeledShoes\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\nSee how the shoes come to a point? Almost like the point on the cartoon character\u2019s shoes. Did you ever wonder why women\u2019s shoes have pointed toes? Those type of shoes are very common. That is not some one of a kind odd pair of shoes. Why do women\u2019s shoes have pointed toes?<\/span><\/p>\n

Women\u2019s shoes have pointed toes because woman are defined in martial arts and asian philosophy terms as being naturally \u201cinternal stylists\u201d. That is the definition of woman. Internal power is frequently called woman\u2019s power in kung fu literature.<\/span><\/p>\n

I said the cartoon character\u2019s feet get that way if he practices for along time in internal martial arts. Men are defined as being naturally external martial arts. For them to develop internally takes a lot of time and work. That is why those type of feet are associated with advanced martial artists and not beginning martial artists.<\/span><\/p>\n

The reason the woman\u2019s shoes are pointed in such an exxagerated way is for cultural reasons of beauty. A woman who was at the highest pinnacle of womanhood would show very strong and obvious qualites of internal strength. One of these qualities would be the pointed feet. A woman wearing these types of pointed shoes, even if she was not developed well internally, would appear that she was developed. People would see her in the pointed shoes and assume that her feet must also be pointed and fit in the shoes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s try another area of human culture to look for more evidence that the cartoon character feet in DragonBall Z are a sign of high internal kung fu development.<\/span><\/p>\n

There is a certain kind of shoe that is sold in China for kung fu and other activities. Here is a picture of this type of shoe.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Dragonball_Z_Fighters_Feet-PlasticKungFuShoes\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\nIf you look at these shoes, they do not have a point. So what are they doing here? They prove I am wrong don\u2019t they? No, they do not prove I am wrong.<\/span><\/p>\n

Remember we said that both the cartoon and the woman\u2019s shoes are exxagerated, not real life. The cartoon is exxagerated to make a point to children while the woman\u2019s shoes are pointed to emphasize cultural ideas of beauty.<\/span><\/p>\n

In reality a person with strong internal strenght does not have a point on their foot. The foot looks sort of like it is pointed. Look at the shoes. See how instead of a rectangle with a big bulge for the big toe, the shoes appear to point inward from both the big and little toes.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you took a pencil and extended the lines of the shoe, they look like this.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Dragonball_Z_Fighters_Feet-ExtendKungFuShoeToe\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\nOh look! If the sides of the shoe are extended forward, they make a point, just like the woman\u2019s show and the cartoon character shoe!<\/span><\/p>\n

Do we have any other places we can look for corroborating evidence? Sure. Everyone on the planet is human. All of their bodies are built the same so they all possess the same qualities.<\/span><\/p>\n

In Europe there is a country called Holland. I think Holland is the same as Dutch. The people in Holland have this tradition of making shoes out of wood. Sounds uncomfortable doesn\u2019t it?<\/span><\/p>\n

I think we can all agree that making shoes out of wood would be hard work. The carving and fitting and so forth. I would think that they would make comfortable shoes that could be used a long time so they did not have to make new shoes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here is a picture of the Dutch shoes in question.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Dragonball_Z_Fighters_Feet-DutchShoes\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\nFancy that! The shoes have points right in the middle of the foot. That makes women\u2019s shoes, cartoon character shoes and kung fu shoes that all have a real point or an almost point in the case of the kung fu shoes.<\/span><\/p>\n

A person might say, those shoes are just for show or they are built that way because it is easier than building a rectangular shoe. People can come up with a million reasons why the toes are the way they are. But. If you compare these shoes with shoes from an entirely different culture, and they all share the same phenomenon of pointed toes, don\u2019t you think there is a connection there? Can it really be just coincidence that American, Chinese and Dutch shoes all have a point in the middle of the foot instead of at the big toe?<\/span><\/p>\n

You still skeptical? Ok. Let\u2019s look at another piece of evidence. Here is another shoe picure. Hmmmmmm. Can\u2019t find the picture I want. We will have to make do.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Dragonball_Z_Fighters_Feet-PointedCostumeShoes\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\nThese are not the shoes I had in mind. The picture angle is bad. These are shoes for an Arabic belly dancer. Again we see that the tips of the shoes come to a point in the middle of the foot. These shoes also show the tip of the shoe curled up and back. Ignore that for now. It is another idea that will only confuse you. Focus only on the fact that the shoes are pointed at the tips.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here is another picture of Arabic shoes. These are for men.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Dragonball_Z_Fighters_Feet-ShrinerShoes\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\nHere again we see a pointed toe. This shoe also has the same curve up and back as the woman\u2019s shoe. Ignore that, it will confuse you. Focus on the fact the shoe is pointed at the tip.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2014<\/span><\/p>\n

In the beginning of this column, I claimed that the shoes worn by the characters in the cartoon DragonBall Z are drawn that way to indicate a martial artist who has attained high skill in the internal martial arts.<\/span><\/p>\n

I then showed how various human cultures, American, Dutch, Chinese and Arabic, all make real shoes for real people that have a point in the center of the front of the shoe, just like the shoes of the DragonBall Z characters.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is not proof. No famous person signed this as approved. No book or encyclopedia guarantees that what is said here is fact. This is where you, as a human being with your own brain and your innate ability to think things thru is supposed to learn things on it\u2019s own.<\/span><\/p>\n

You can allow your life to be bogged down by only believing in things that \u201cexperts\u201d tell you.<\/span><\/p>\n

Or<\/span><\/p>\n

You can be your own man\/woman. You can think for yourself. You can learn for yourself. You can depend on your brain and trust your own thought processes to learn things that other people do not know.<\/span><\/p>\n

These things that you can learn will lead you to a life of power and attainment if that is what you desire. Or you can live your life simply; satisfied that you understand some of the basic nature of what it means to be human.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
