I think one of the tricks is being able to do all of the above while going forward , it`s not a blind rush , it`s a skill set that needs to be developed IMHO .Then there was the concept of "pulling in the attack" in order to "redirect" or "blend" with it or some such...
Then there was AiKiDo which "harmonizes" with the attacker by "yielding" into a position of adavantage...
I agree and have posted this as phrased here.gmattson wrote: a circle, when a person stands still, a "spiral" when moving forward and backward. It takes on infinite variations as a person modifies his movement in other directions and with other body positioning.
The kind of energy used by the body and released through these positions has everything to do with how these tools function or fail to function. This is directly related to something called having an energy strategy. Apparently a concept that is still not understood.gmattson wrote: None of this has anything to do with how it can be used to destroy a person's weapons or the person.
Meanwhile George clearly advocated MY tactical response in the pizza incident where a full out forward AND frontal continuous CG attack was discussed. But as I gather from the above quote we are expected to believe that entering and attacking effectively comes naturally for most beginners and so better to focus on "other things" whatever that is, involving evasion, back peddling and reversing, moving away, etc..gmattson wrote: I work with people who are more comfortable moving forward than in any other direction, so many of my basic drills involve getting my students comfortable with unfamiliar actions. Becoming comfortable with movements to the rear, side, angles and circular with those moves, doesn't in any way impede their ability to move forward or provide them with an incentive to move in one way or another when under a powerful, relentless and dangerous attack. (As the opposition arguments claim)
Aikido goes right in also. Its called taking their center. There is a throw (Ibeleive is called Irim-nage) theat you actually hug their head into you..taking their center away and you become the hurricaine..and then thwump you clothes line them2Green-"It was not until Uechi training that I learned about moving inside the eye of the hurricane where things are calmer, and forget about yielding.
