Our poll

Alright.. we only had 8 entries on the poll.. 1 for Run, 1 for close the distance, and 6 for Remove their oneness.. which is correct. The first rule in a fight is to remove their oneness with you. This can be achieved by various methods... all you are doing is steering their focus off or you and onto something else.

For example you could use anticipatory techniques to move them into thinking something is going to happen, an attack is short in coming, or the like.. you can use sensory methods, like slapping your leg... and making a move like your are going to attack, thus setting up false timing in the fight... odd hand motions or movements can work well. What you are doing is not allowing them to "feel" you or see inside your head.

On http://www.awarriorsway.com site we will have on the members only page a document called "Mental Warrior", for download.. check that out in due time to discuss the actual scientific aspects of this question..

A new poll will be up shortly...

Virtual Dojo!

Students... check out the asksensei blog for our stats on our weekly lessons.

We have been putting up our weekly lessons and I have been floored by the response. I think that we now have a medium to show our art, to train people in our art, and to help artists become better warriors.

Warriorhood isn't a right, it isn't something you are born into, its something that you are taught to be, to encompass and to embrace; if you have the right teachers. I think that this new medium, podcasting, will allow us to push our ways out to others to work with. If they are good, they will continue and if they are poor.. they will die out.

Just like Ninjutsu, a very old art, a practical art, one born from war... if the techniques taught to the ninja were poor, they didn't come back. They couldn't propagate the poor techniques so the art cleansed itself via combat.

This is like our blogging and podcasting now as its a social medium, just like war. If the techniques and the teachings are good, people will comment, come back, and continue to learn. If they are bad.. they just won't return to it at all... so this is the face of social media and how it will play with the arts.

On another note: we or I am teaching again on Sunday mornings at 10 AM sharp. Its open to all so if you are interesting, come on by, sign a waiver.. and start learning to defend yourself. We are enjoying some very high level training lately, but will return to basics every Sunday so that belts can continue to be earned....

If you have a topic you would like to see me discuss or show techniques on that Sunday, for the weekly lessons show on http://Asksensei.blip.tv please email them to me... sensei@anjingbanfa.com
