It is a very amazing experience once you "release" internally to an incoming antagonist force. Yes, very difficult to explain. Training and practice without intent is most important to overcome what you instinctually believe and how you may respond without thought.
Very well said. We do have to overcome our instinctual beliefs and responses. Practicing with intent gets us there. Thanks for watching and adding your insight!
At last, someone has said what I’ve been saying… “no intent” having no intent on touch enables you to receive and borrow for use. It’s a hard thing for people to grasp as everyone wants to do something. But having no intent of your own allows you to be full of emptiness for a microsecond to gain control… “give yourself up to follow others”. Not what most people seem to think it means.
Hi susan, there are also aikido masters who uses connection and intention to control the opponent, some also do it from a far, like Watanabe sensei did.
❤"I truly believe that the only way a woman can overpower a man in a fight is through mastering the art of Qi Gong. Physically, it’s nearly impossible for her to match the muscular strength of a man, but there’s still a very long journey to reach the level of skill and ability required to use it effectively in a real fight. Just imagine how different the punches of an aggressive man are compared to the friendly punches of your close friend."
@@shavan-n2f My intent in showing these skills is not really to overcome the punch of a man in a fight. Rather it is to develop the internal skills by using them with practice scenarios such as a practice partner. Once the skills are felt and developed, then these internal skills are taken in to a context of managing oneself in daily life; in other words these external practices are a practice ground and metaphor for transfering these skills into life - the challenges, the confrontations of life.
@@InternalTaiChi Your work is truly valuable. I know how much mastering proper posture and efficiently transferring force to the spine, pelvis, etc., can be beneficial in daily life and conserve energy. However, since the topic was about self-defense, I felt it would be better to stay closer to practical realities. That said, your teachings, as always, are incredibly useful. 🙏
Well presented.
The intent: I mean you no harm, is powerful.
