Karate, Taekwondo, Kenpo Or Whatever--You Must See The Thought Before The Action In The Martial Arts
It doesn't matter which art you study, Karate, taekwondo, Kenpo or whatever, you simply must see the thought behind any attack. I have written about this subject since my first articles in the martial arts magazines back in 1981. I find it odd that nobody else writes about it.
I originally formulated this idea by analogizing somebody driving down a road. Drive down that road enough time, and you start to know where the kids are playing, where dogs rush into the traffic, and so on. In the martial arts, do the kata bunkai enough times, and you know what it means when the opponent lifts his shoulder, turns his hips, and otherwise sets himself up.
I was working with a class once, and this fellow was watching, and he said, "What if they threw a punch instead?" I'd handled the 'what if' character many times, and I told him to throw a punch at me. He half pivoted in my direction.
He sunk his weight, and I knew how he was going to turn, the angle of his punch, everything. And, I experienced a cartoon overlay of him punching me--I saw it happen in a separate reality before it happened. And then it didn't occur.
He just gave up and didn't even bother trying to strike me. Well, of course. I had seen the idea behind his attack--I had defeated his idea, and that had pulled the plug on any physical manifestation of that thought.
Over the years I read of other people doing this. Foremost among the martial arts anecdotes was the experience of Morihei Ueshiba, who saw a bullet coming out of the barrel of a gun. He saw the thought before the action, and so was able to handle the action.
Why doesn't this sort of thing happen for everybody? The answer is simple, because everybody is not a die hard fanatic about the martial arts. Or, let me get in your face, you are not a fanatic.
Are you willing to forgo school and a good paying job, endure hamburger instead of steak, spend all your time sweating in a small room with other like minded individuals? Are you willing to spend all your time and money on lessons, reading everything ever written on the martial arts, delving into the quirks and weaknesses of your individual personality? Are you willing to endure starting over again in art after martial art--karate, taekwondo, kenpo--then maybe you'll make it; maybe you'll actually gain the ability to see the thought before the action.
