lordtariel Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 But it's a bit harder in a real sparring situation. I guess lots of practice is the answer to all "how-to's" of the martial arts questions...You hit the nail on the head with that. Another option is to take up a musical instrument. You can learn alot about rythym and tempo from music. There's no place like 127.0.0.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaymac Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 As I understand rhythm in budo; it is that rhythm similar to what we see, hear, feel, and sense in nature itself. Wind has a rhythm, the flow of water has a rhythm. It does not follow a specific pace or pattern yet it has rhythm.When we first practice we develop a rhythm that has a specific tempo that is unique to each of us. To continue along that path we must endeavor to develop a more natural (as in relation to mother nature).When next hiking outdoors, stay in the moment, focus on nature, study this carefully.Bibliography Lowry, Dave. Sword and Brush: The Spirit of the Martial Arts. Boston: Shambhala, 1995This is great! A great martial artist is one who is humble and respectful of others.

Muki Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 Another option is to take up a musical instrument. You can learn alot about rythym and tempo from music.I agree it helps a lot. I play the piano and I used to dance, so generally I don't have problems with rhythm. It's just different with an opponent, that doesn't cooperate like a dancing partner would... Thanks for all suggestions guys. If you're going trough hell, keep going. | http://www.sankukai.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
