JusticeZero Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 How about the view (which I explain everything as) that all of your techniques are actually just a series of transitions between stances (or maybe 'positions'). You start in a position, you end in a position, and you might pass through two or three in the course of the technique as well. "Anything worth doing is worth doing badly." - Baleia

And I think that is an advantage that your art possesses; you thrive in the realm of continual, nearly perpetual, I'd venture to say, motion. You probably teach the style in that same way, too. But correct me if I'm wrong.But, in the Eastern based styles, we don't learn it that way. Everything has been basically taught early on in a more stationary manner, and then as you progress, you work into more movement and transition. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com
