In a fight, when one doesnt want to be hit they will usually allow themselves to get scared and be hit. When one actually wants the attack to be thrown the mind stays in its state and one can think clearly. Now the word want is very strong and this is why I mentioned that I am not condoning violence. Merely stating the difference in mind set.deseecieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14473417.post-11591139029183550592011-04-16T18:38:53.453-07:002011-04-16T18:38:53.453-07:00I enjoyed what Ush said.

We are not alive in a vacuum. Our actions are part of a vast life, and that life is not static. It is maybe like swimming with the river’s current at an angle to be carried to shore with the greater motion, rather than using swimming mechanics to fight a far greater power with nothing but the energy we can generate on our own. <br /><br />Or, maybe Bill is having too much fun thinking about this stuff and should switch to listening for a while. <br /> <br />Either way great series of posts…<br /> <br />-Billy G.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14473417.post-10965582009447781312011-04-15T06:12:47.623-07:002011-04-15T06:12:47.623-07:00I like to think in questions vs. statements.

Where statement is ether positive or negative and tend to be framed in absolutes, a question engages the mind in the creative process.<br />As you can not have all the answers, you can not let finding the answer or not having an answer stop you from taking action or making a disision. Sometimes you just got to go with your best guess.<br /><br />Rory you talked about the freeze where you get stuck on the why question, so I've wondered if this mind set will be a hinderance or not in an assault situation.<br /><br />I wandered there. Back to the topic. <br /><br />The question I see a "strategist" asking is how and what if questions, the more experience you have means the more answers you have available. <br /><br />Maybe asking questions would help in evaluation relevant and irrelevant date, but I guess that would depend on if you asked or know the right question to ask.<br /><br />Funny I'm not even sure if I'm asking the right questions now. <br /><br />Hmmm...<br />JoshJosh Kruschkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09288700371539530398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14473417.post-43293306677162387022011-04-14T15:29:52.920-07:002011-04-14T15:29:52.920-07:00I think understanding the positive-negative relati...I think understanding the positive-negative relationship is important. "Stop" is more powerful than "don't move." If you hear "don't think about and elephant," where does the mind go? What about "think about a monkey?" Focusing on what you don't want, like a fist coming toward your face, usually ends up badly; while focusing on what you do want, like getting into the space where the punch is not going to be, opens up opportunities. Defense postpones the inevitable, while offense achieves what you focus on (offense can be escape).Jacobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13754569090118556583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14473417.post-29561679399954501392011-04-14T15:14:53.654-07:002011-04-14T15:14:53.654-07:00I trained with a man who liked to sum up his appro...I trained with a man who liked to sum up his approach as "I win or you lose". I never really got what he meant but I'm starting to think it was similar to your gift idea.ushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15994880290682529074noreply@blogger.com
