Alan Armstrong Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Have you ever experienced the "No Mind"? It is to do with focusing on something without any outside distractions. It is said that 'the empty mind is more dangerous than the 'empty hand' Also have you ever experienced the sensation of moving or sparing in 'negative space' or in the void? I know this is some very trippy stuff but talking from experience; it actually works! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Armstrong Posted July 11, 2016 Author Share Posted July 11, 2016 Space "Negative or Positive" is always important when sparring or fighting. Here are a few idioms and one liners about (hopefully) using it to one's advantage. Add some of your own favorites!Creating space.In the opponents space.Closing the gap.Cutting off the ring.Creating an opening.Expanding when opponent contracts.Contract when opponent expands.Sinking and floating.Bobing and weaving.Sticking and folding.Direct and circular.Standing one's ground.Keeping one's distance.Cutting the ring in half.Attack the blind side.Tire'm out.
