ramymensa Posted April 18, 2004 Posted April 18, 2004 Are we talking about URAKEN? (back fist) ... Nice tesnique and indeed hard to spot sometimes. I'd agree with the others. Let's leave aside the myth of looking into the oponent's eyes. You're trying to beat him not to make him fall in love with you Well, I'd say we should look at him as an ENTIRE BODY. And do it so we can rely on peripheral vision too. And forget to think. It's about feeling the other, not thinking like in a math theory (easy to say, I know). World Shotokan Karate
ramymensa Posted April 18, 2004 Posted April 18, 2004 And with the eyes ... Some say it's good to look into the opponent's eyes, because they can tell you when he is going to strike. Unfortunatelly you can't find out what limb is gonna hit you. So I'd watch for the entire body. You could be superman. Still to hit you've got to move the leg or hand in order to get into my head or abdomen. So with a good reaction the problem can be dealt with. World Shotokan Karate
