Martial Arts Training for Real Self-Making Sense of Chaos

Martial Arts Training for Real Self-Making Sense of Chaos Once I had a conversation with a student who brought the crazy idea that almost anyone could think that could use a series of preset moves (known as a word, pronounced KAH-Tah) to handle something as chaotic as a fight. He said he does not make sense to him as every teacher, and that he knew what he was talking about, could pass through "the answer" to a stranger as fight.He 's right. And yet, day after day, in countless schools, training centers, the police and military units around the world, some people believe that what they are leaing to be exactly what they need to win, if ever attacked.Can Imagine, for those of you who have yet to be accosted, which is inside the heart of an attack? I mean, what is known about the situation that has not yet been? Unless you're clairvoyant and can see into the future - in which case you do not need defense, and that training, or ... 1) know what to avoid, or ... 2) knowing that they would not survive-There are many things that do not, and you can not know about this situation which has not yet happened. Things like: A) When you are attacked (parking, building, your car, at home, in bed, etc.), B) that your attacker BEC) How to deal with the attacker) or if there are no weapons in question (and what, if any) E) How are you attackedF) What are you wearing or benefits that may help or hinder, and ... G) Many, many more! So how can we think that a preset sequence of moves of any use of them in a genuine, real-world attack? Better yet, because they lived hundreds of years, if he can not help? Well, the short of it, according to my research, that is. There are two schools of thought when it comes to answering this question. The first is the idea that says ......" must ensure that the warriors have a way to practice during periods of peace in order to be ready for the next war. What are we going to do is string a few basic concepts so that they can rely on repetitive practice to stay ready. "The other so-called" school of thought, "he said," This is the most common attacks that we, with our current set of circumstances, will face. Then there is the design of a series of techniques for example - "the fight scenes-it-te-se - which contain the substance or idea of what could be done in such a situation. We forward the principles and techniques through which concepts are not so much "set-in-stone", as are representatives of these principles in action. "A school recognized the need to practice the basic mechanics - the" brand "of punching, kicking, etc (the" secrets ") - his art, when there was a war in progress. In reality, most of the training schools in Japan are still transmitted in this way. The school allows students of their faculties of perception and intuitive ability to determine its level of understanding.However, for many of these systems of war, the art techniques. This means that they are what makes a family of techniques and "style" unique among all others. In general it is not acceptable to change the means, for any reason, as in the case of my friend told me about another earlier.The school recognizes that there are an infinite number of combinations, if we were to focus only on it mechanics alone. They also acknowledged that "what" you is not as important as "when, why, how and under what circumstances can do anything. Of course, this was more difficult to understand that the basic step by step method (using the school DID by the way), but the idea is that the principles were more important if that means winning in a conflict. While the phased approach to the model pre-established to teach the students how not to apply the techniques, from my point of view and the experience of having to deal with violent attackers in the real world situations of self-defense, it 's the latest approach - the focus on practical principles and concepts of control of the situation - that provides the real key to mastery.But is not the mastery of martial arts - the mastery of technique - I'm talking about. But rather the ability to dominate and control EnvironmentYour ... His attacker PerceptionsThe distance and space in fightThe the aggressor OptionsAnd much more! ... that allows you to monitor the situation, moment by moment, as this is unfolds.It great vision of the reality of the situation that allows the true master of martial arts - the warrior strategic commander, to see beyond just punching and kicking or reducing striker. E 'vision that enables us to give a sense of chaos is a struggle ...... and it seems that the wizards and sorcerers to others with less understanding of nature and the wisdom of enlightened martial training master.Read more articles like this by subscribing to the newsletter the author: Jeffrey M.
