We must step back even further when describing something abstract such as a concept. We can only share the same ideas once we finally hold most of the same overlapping descriptions in mind, and have also figured out to some satisfaction how they meet. You are facilitating that even in repetition.<br /><br />At some point we're all using the same language about the same concepts and it starts to sound like old news during our lifetime. Concepts just more easily created with so many intersecting reference points already mapped. I think then it comes down to creativity packaging the message, (another of your strong points Rory, with technology making that even faster). <br /><br />I think a huge part of “training” means actively paying attention to what you are doing. Maximizing use of those things you already have to work with. Logging lots of references, and remembering to dictate whenever you can the best outcome you can see. It is sometimes easy to split focus and miss things. I find for myself anyway that if its not actually game time that my mind can wander. Practice mode for me can turn into delving into some observation of the moment, when there is an allowable margin for error. That’s good clean fun and learning, but it can lead to losing focus on a specific purpose. It is an unaffordable luxury when playing for keeps. <br /><br />People I guess feel that in all decision making too. They revert to what they already know they are good at. That’s only drawn from relevant experiences and you can literally watch people make mistakes following the beaten path. Hindsite is 20/20. <br /> <br />I chalk up a lot to Decision. We don’t always have the choice. But, when it is not training, remembering to look for decisions to make is step one. Then, especially if it is something that matters as much as being safe …you make damb sure you make that play. You run with it until it is over. If you saw something in that moment that needed to be done, then the second it registered in your mind it was too late to worry about what’s next. That's one definition of offense. Do it as soon as you see it develop. Minimize the time you could be on defense. <br /><br /><br /><br />Military.com link someone coincidentally sent me this AM about "offense as a SD tactic"...<br /><br /> http://full-contact.military.com/2011/12/12/real-street-fight-tactic-forward-drive/#more-1662<br /><br /><br />-Billy G.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14473417.post-34751361850660688262011-12-15T02:38:57.219-08:002011-12-15T02:38:57.219-08:00WRT training rage to substitute fear... while it i...WRT training rage to substitute fear... while it is of limited translation, we've managed to turn a "don't-hit-me-pretty-please" into a "don't-do-it-again".<br /><br />While an assault is way different, to what point "growing up" from "abused" to "paybacker" wouldn't be better than being a "paybacker" from the start? Meaning, the one who grows up knows defencelessness has a good lump of mental in it.<br /><br />Also,<br /><br />"Some times I think I write the same things over and over in different ways."<br /><br />Not quite. You write _about_ the same thing. Those changes in angle, POV and such help give a more complete picture. Plus, sometimes a turn of phrase makes things much more clearer, and that's probably dependant on the reader's background.<br /><br />Take care/Ferran.shugyoshahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04437800091500543886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14473417.post-75090381459273390782011-12-14T07:08:20.583-08:002011-12-14T07:08:20.583-08:00"Some times I think I write the same things o..."Some times I think I write the same things over and over in different ways."

Obviously not in the exact same way and context. But a lot of it is pretty similar. <br />IMO and IME, there are different phases a sport MA fight goes through. Some always happen, some not. The mindset, techniques and tactics needed for each phase is very different. <br /><br />Just spit balling some thoughts after reading your post.Wimhttp://www.wimsblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14473417.post-29974700827446893422011-12-13T13:10:00.998-08:002011-12-13T13:10:00.998-08:00Absent the pure ambush where you wake up in the ho...Absent the pure ambush where you wake up in the hospital (or dead), the opening salvo in any 'fight' is perception. Yes, blah blah, see it coming and all that; but I mean perception as an action, as a result. Perception (awareness) is a two-way process, not passive, but active because awareness creates change, give you time and distance, even measured in tenths of a second and inches of a foot. Awareness gives you a chance. The problem is, a good attacker will create a 'startle' state in you, activiting the emotional or survival brain that makes you freeze just long enough to get whuped.<br /><br />A good way to reduce the freeze time is with full contact weapons sparring (can be done very injuriously-less with padded weapons and foam protective gear, or you can go all Dog Brothers) - when you lose your weapon, an inevitability in weapons sparring, you IMMEDIATELY attack with strikes (simple touches to the opponent's chest will do) to your sparring partner.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14473417.post-69348874736313188562011-12-13T10:42:05.159-08:002011-12-13T10:42:05.159-08:00I read the same things, in a different way.
