SUMMARY
- Breathe In, Breathe Out, you expand his image and you shrink it again.
- Breathe In, Seeing the red dots affixed to his weak points.
- Your arms are in front of you forming a triangular (or pyramid) guard, hands protecting your Centre-Line. Your elbows are down and in front of your ribs.
- When he is coming in fast and but one step away he will start to launch a limb at you.
- HE PUNCHES STRAIGHT: Breathe OUT as you Sweep in a circle upwards with your arms his arm, meeting it on its OUTERSIDE when it is half-way between you.
- HE PUNCHES CIRCULAR: Breathe OUT as you Sweep upwards with your arms into his upper arm, meeting it on its INNERSIDE. As you are inside his circling Force: EXPLODE into a Thunderbolt forearm into the side of his neck; or, if he is trying to kill you then the point of your elbow into the front of his throat, like a rhino’s horn.
- HE KICKS STRAIGHT: Breathe OUT as you stay upright and step a little back: Sweep with your arms Sweep downwards to touch his leg with your arms as you turn your body away (Move Target). Scoop with your arms his leg, from outside inward towards his centre-line. Move in for the finish off. As he is on one leg he cannot get away.
- HE KICKS CIRCULAR: Breathe OUT as you Dive fast your body straight to his Groin as your arm sweeps sideways into his swinging thigh. Slam your Thunderbolt forearm up into his groin.
- After you deflect his limb: Step in to attack a suitably close red dot.
- Then Step behind him and attack his knee and/ or leave.
What does this waza FEEL like to you?
Like shape-shifting what you see: to measure its true form and distance.
Like busying your mind with Red Dotting him rather than you worrying about anything else.
Like swinging a golf club or baseball bat: but soft for your deflection; hard for your strike.
What does this waza FEEL like to the enemy?
Thrusting or Reaching too far for the prize he falls forward.
- Your mind is your greatest weapon – but only if you use it.
- Fear is a demon trying to wrestle away the steering of your mind. You help to overcome Fear by deliberately using your mind and firmly steering yourself.
- Controlling your Breathing OUT is a time-honoured method used by ancient warriors to prevent Fear from overwhelming them.
- Although small, you too can be dangerous. Know the smallest germs can terrorise the whole world.
- That avoiding a strike is better than to clash with it by a hard block.
- If something is in the way of your target: move it.
- Do not meet FORCE with force, but meet FORCE with Avoidance.
- Do not waste time attacking Strengths: Only attack weaknesses.
- You are the same as any GIANT: if you have vulnerable eyes: so do they.
- Knowledge of system weaknesses allows you to attack them: Knowledge can be Power.
- Your awareness of your surrounds is your longest range weapon and defence.
- Make of something that is Forceful into a thing even more FORCEFUL so your mind knows it is controlling this process and can thus more confidently command itself to avoid a damaging Force.
- To know the effect of a blow on another you would need to know their health level.
- A blow is effective if it damages the INSIDE of the body, not just its surface.
- If a waza is not working then smoothly switch to another. If your lock is not working: there is no reason preventing you from doing an immediate strike.
- Strike your nearest weapon to its nearest target.
- A successful distraction of their mind is nearly as good as a successful blow, as that blow will closely follow.
- If an attacker is too high to hit their head then a low blow may bring their head down and in reach.
- A killing attack you meet with a determined killing defence until you gain control and can either restrain the Aggressor or run away. Restraining is for Law enforcement; running is for anyone else. You do not know how many of his gangster type friends may be nearby.
- If you can see his weak points as Red Dots then your mind knows what it can do without being restricted by gloomy hesitating from unknowns.
- You strike like a coiled serpent: a fast whipping motion with your hip and body behind it; relaxed so there is no warning him of its coming.
- All real combat is chaos and quick, you need to SEE and DO without deliberate thinking.

I really learned a lot from this lesson 7. Thanks, Stephen!
ReplyDeleteOur mind can trick us and fear can defeat us, so your tips are very useful. Truly. Can you teach some meditation techniques?
Hi Unknown, well I did specifically teach Meditation to a seated women’s group and that was very successful. When you assist someone to meditate it really is a personal thing, one-to-one. There is no comparison to what you can do when you project your mind over someone in front of you as a guide and spell caster, to the alternative of teaching with words imprinted on a page. Page information is not quality teaching; a teacher’s personality or aura is what a student takes up and uses to enter new worlds of learning and enchantment. Words need sound to enter the mind rather than sight. There is a reason as to why spells are spoken weavings, not just razzle-dazzle. I can take you on a journey into another world but I would have to be with you to command your mind to fly. You the journeying, I the magic carpet. In dancing Kata there is moving meditation but that needs to be done deliberately.
DeleteWhen I teach on new ways of thinking, new strategies of mind in combat, they are a form of meditation, as your mind is no longer seeing as it normally does, vaguely, instead it sees and more importantly Feels as if newborn. The mind has more senses than just the eyes and altogether they amount to more of a collective FEELING. We FEEL reality rather than just ‘see’ it. You never really ‘see’ anything, the mind reads impulses from photon impacts and though the eye-organ receptors are at the front of the head you actually remake the images at the back of your brain, in the darkness there where no light penetrates. If I give a lesson on the philosophy of Merlyn the Druid wizard, that will be a form of meditation. Teachers are inspirers rather than information distributors. Inciting minds to higher aspirations and understanding by the gateway of a radiant persona. Those are the teachers that you remember fondest; it is not what they taught, but How they taught that enhances attention and learning. They entered your mind. A mutual experience. Teachers share and in giving they experience the priceless reward of handing on value.
