Your second martial arts lesson?
After learning how to walk, we learn how to get out of the way.
A simple drill that scales over time and with experience.
Standing across from your training partner, they throw a punch…
…and using taihenjutsu you get out of the way.
That’s it, no martial arts strikes, counters, or takedowns.
Just get out of the way.
The lesson?
Kukan- space.
Something is entering your space through distance and timing.
You take yourself, the space you occupy and get out of the way, putting yourself in a safe place where a second or third strike can’t be thrown.
Training the body, of which the mind is a part, that when something enters your space, get out of the way an avoid it.
