Your Second Martial Arts Lesson

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.
