TKD_McGee Posted April 10, 2002 Posted April 10, 2002 Hu? I think you have too much time on your hand if you can sit around and develop a 6th sense.... bahaha... :lol: Do unto others, as they done to you.
rabid hamster Posted April 10, 2002 Posted April 10, 2002 Yep.. That's what new agers call it. But I'm sure you know your gut feeling? LIke you just "feel" something's wrong and something bad happens? I'm sure everyone has it. Maybe it's just a coincedence, but before something really bad happens, like my dog dying , I get that feeling. But I guess you don't wanna believe.. That's fine with me, a lot of people can't accept things that can't be explained my science.

SaiFightsMS Posted April 11, 2002 Posted April 11, 2002 I practice at night in a multi-purpose room inside the building where I live. If I time it right I don't meet any other residents. Just in case though, I have to be alert to the prescence of others entering the area. I about gave someone heart failure one night getting carried a way on a kiai practicing kata. I think the old man visiting the soda machine did something in his pants. That aside, there are also bathrooms in the back of the room when it is open during business hours. I was practicing a bo kata one day and during a turn someones grand daughter just happened to walk out of the bathroom as I was turning to do a strike to that direction. (NO I did not hit the kid) Practicing like that helps make me more aware of my surroundings at other times as well. Like when I am outside of the building. We should be more aware of our surroundings than most of us are. That is a kind of "sense".
SBN Doug Posted April 11, 2002 Posted April 11, 2002 Jiggy, we don't have any "formal" exercises. We just do a whole lot of techniques, so there is a lot of touching already. Personally, I try not to look at the pressure point I'm about strike or press, just feel the contour of the muscle to find it. The same goes for joint locks, etc. I don't remeber which art you're in. If it's all striking, then developing touch won't help much. Kuk Sool Won - 4th danEvil triumphs when good men do nothing.
Deathcometh Posted April 12, 2002 Posted April 12, 2002 I believe that we have another sense better known as the third eye. All it does is let people sense when other people are around so in war if you were on patrol and you had used this sense before and know how to use it ambush would be almost impossible.
shotochem Posted April 12, 2002 Posted April 12, 2002 ***My Spider Sense Is Tingling!!!!!!! :kaioken: Now Im showing my age..... Pain is only temporary, the memory of that pain lasts a lifetime.
kicker Posted April 13, 2002 Posted April 13, 2002 Well I guess when I am working out I am working on my breathing so that I don't have to stop and take lots of gulps of breaths really quicklt or if I go running so that I am in a better condition. when you do your best it`s going to show.

Phantasmatic Posted April 13, 2002 Posted April 13, 2002 i like to feel things when I practice, me and my friend sit down and someone goes behind us and puts their hand either on the left side of our faces or our right side of our faces. Then we touch the hand. We do this to increase our awareness of people around us. It really does work!!! "Which one is more foolish, the fool or the fool who follows him?" - Obi Wan Kenobi
Strife Posted April 14, 2002 Posted April 14, 2002 Chi is VERY real!! Mostly it helps to be naturaly sensitive though. When I spar with friends I can begin to predict their moves at points...imagine being one step ahead of your apponent. An experienced MA can do this easily becaues of their years of training they tend to be a lot more sensitive to Chi. People who just point, laugh, and judge are so friggin' stupid. A MA always need to be open to new ideas. [ This Message was edited by: Strife on 2002-04-14 19:39 ] ______________________________________Its only funny until someone gets hurt. Then its hilarious.
