The Gears are Turning

This week has been great for getting my mental martial gears turning.  So many interesting things are cropping up because of the “conflict” theme.  I feel like there is a huge amount of room to explore the theme more – expand it into smaller sections like “how to talk someone down”, “getting sucker punched”, “respect” and so much more…
To complicate matters further, here’s a “priority” list from Sifu Kyle on how to handle an opponent:

1. Go to the vacuum
2. Control the head
3. Body part to body mass
4. Closest weapon to closest target
5. Constantly seeking targets
6. Circles and angles

Looks like we got enough themes to finish out 2011.

Go here for the student’s thoughts of the day.
