Training receiving force

Training receiving force The following footage shows Alex assisting me in training receiving force. This is a cooperative training method in which he feeds me via connection, and I endeavor to bounce him off of me in different ways. These concepts are used to de-stabilize. A person's attempt to apply force on me and reposition my body. They are not meant to suggest that I am a superhero or some other type of thing that lower level "martial artists " continue to suggest. Just for the record , I really could care less what they think of me. I'm only sharing these things to people that understand what's going on and because Time here on this planet is limited. Ethical behavior was once a Main stay of martial arts, and this younger generation seems to think it's appropriate to be rude and stupid, and I simply just won't interact with them. The notion of challenging someone that you view as having lesser skill than you is not a courageous act . It is the act of a coward, You should challenge me if you think you are equal to me ; if you think you are better than me, then you should go find someone better than me to challenge. Otherwise you're no more than a schoolyard bully, hiding behind the keyboard next to your action figure collection. Thanks for watching!

Using asking Jin and emptiness to make my opponent fall into my connection.

Using asking Jin and emptiness to make my opponent fall into my connection. When you touch a person, they usually either push back, runaway , or stay still. When they do this, it's usually on a very unconscious level. They don't typically notice that they are doing it. The movement is so small that they usually cannot detect it but their subconscious mind will typically go back to center after moving out of center to achieve balance , When my partner does this , I yield, causing him to fall into my touch and into my root where I can then issue force on him.
