sensei8 Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Shindokan teaches that the "time on target" should be an minimal as possible.By that, the longer my 'weapon' remains/stays on any given target, then the more susceptible my 'weapon' is going to be trapped/grasped by my opponent. Not an ideal situation.In Shindokan, the "time on target" , punching in this case, is ideal for us because if one stays just to long on any of my given possible targets, that given extra one extra millisecond by my opponent is all that I need to trap/grasp/etc as I initiate Tuite.Punch the target, but don't stay there to smell the flowers; get in and then get right out!!This is a very basic explanation, but hopefully it'll give you some clear understanding. **Proof is on the floor!!!
