Superior Blocking

When I was a beginner in the martial arts; I blocking was both painful and ineffective. I just couldn't get the hang of it. The idea of having an airtight defence was pretty cool. The idea of being totally in control just escaped me.

After years of instruction and more years of practice, I realize something. I was trying way too hard.

Here is a video of two guys practising something called 'sticky hands'. This video shows an excellent example of the guy on the right having total control and confidence. It works for me.




Without prejudice
