"Fully empowered human being" and "complete martial artist" - well said! I agree. Totally get your point. That tapping into primal power is exactly what I so often miss in class - I often find trainers to be only in their analytical mindset (which is of course important, too) and even to try to suppress that intuition in students, because it's not precise and within the system. I often feel their way of teaching is not complete. Totally agree with you. Don't suppress that power, understand and use it in a positive way!

That's a really grett tip. I don't have a lot of experience in martial arts (1 year of boxing and almost 1 year of muay thai), but when I spar, I notice that I am that kind of guy who is always in the "training" mindset". In my mind I consider that since most of the students don't want to go pro, I should not go for the kill, but some guys just go wild in training. In some cases, I can almost feel their fighting spirit and it really disturbs me. I spent some time thinking "why can't I fight like that, even though I search a lot about techniques and practice it a lot". Now I know why. Thank you, Sensei.

Great video as always Ando! You are absolutely right I see many martial arts instructors skip over the fact that fighting is in fact brutal they want everything to be focused on the "art" aspect. On the other hand I also find many instructors who focus too much on the brutal "martial" aspect so I really enjoyed the reference to yin and yang there.

Very glad that when I decided to come back to training martial arts that it was outdoors. One of the main reasons was with Covid, I didn’t wanna go indoors where everyone is breathing heavily in a crowded room. Another reason was I wanted to expose myself to things like uneven ground and get an idea of what the real thing would be like in the occurrence of a self defense situation. Another great thing about being outdoors is you can connect with a lot of people and even make friends. Last but not least, there’s so many things you could use to train whether it would be a pull up bar, lines implemented on the ground to do footwork drills, a tree that gives to be used for makiwara drills and on top of that it’s all free. Came outdoors to train and been really reaping its physical and mental benefits.

this is great advice. i think this is the last piece of the puzzle im missing. ive almost got mushin. my technique has been hailed as perfect by black belts, and ive got a wide base in the functional basics of a wide array of martial styles, even weapons, and i know enough grappling and counter grappling to avoid winding up on the ground in a street fight. the only thing i lack to be considered truly capable is agression, and a tiny bit more time spent sparring with that aggression. i have trained solo in parks before. but my issue is that their always full of people. i have trouble tapping into my aggression in that kind of situation since im so conscious of hurting other people. none of my local parks are ever really empty. its a popular tourist town. i didnt look too much farther than the nearest 2 or 3 locations. because i didnt really understand the depth of difference that freedom makes. now ill look further, and find places where i can do this. thanks for this, its more simple than i ever figured it would be. i never would have thought to take such a seemingly mild step. assuming this does do what i need it to do, then you pretty much made me as a fighter.

When I was preparing for the marathons the long run days were the hardest sessions of my training program. The last kilometers challenge every runner mentally.

The Dragon and the Tiger...together...balanced. Yup! When I was a very young man, I used to stroll sketchy parks and back alleys of major cities in the middle of the night for a different sort of martial arts practice, one I never recommend to others. Another advantage of outdoor training is variable terrain and weather. Wearing street clothes in the dojo doesn't cut it. When it is time to shake down your skills with a good dose of reality, put on the exact stuff you wear most often and go do some SD drills and controlled sparring in an outdoor setting with slopes, gravel, concrete, grass, sand, etc. If you wear flip-flops/sandals, give that a whirl outdoors in a realistic environment! That sort of reality-based pressure testing will emphatically and quickly teach you what tactics and strategies to focus on and which ones to discard for SD, how to modify your wardrobe/jewelry choices, the importance of using terrain wisely, etc. Stuff you cannot get in a dojo.

Good point!

I never really thought of martial arts as a grand melee because it seems that wars are more complex that that nowadays. However, the weaponry that is used nowadays isn't always available. I usually think of martial arts as way of preparing for getting robbed, or jumped, or finishing a fight that is brought to me by an angry person. If I ever go to war in real life, I would want a weapon. I don't own a gun and I don't carry a knife, but I can disarm, temporarily disable or distract an assailant, and that's enough for me to survive better. That's all that I really expected from martial arts. For me, it's self-defense for myself and my loved ones. Sometimes, I feel the urge to defend others and I have been in situations in which I had to do that. However, in many ways, I am more of a fan than a practitioner. Still, if the situation required it because of a grave threat, I would harm someone that is a threat to save lives, and that willingness is what I must retain for the rest of my organic and spiritual existence.

@AndoMierzwa

Yes, sir... first it's about the willingness, THEN it's about choice of technique. The idea is simply to imagine being in an even CRAZIER situation than just one guy mugging you.

Dangerous stuff! I think the key part of what you said is that you RUN INTO IT. That's no different than walking into a punch in boxing. The issue isn't balance, it's how to avoid collisions. That usually means being clever with your footwork. Hit and move!

How do I get energy from my abdomen or stomach I don’t know , does it called chi energy ? Show us

I wish I could go and have fun training like that! Man! But I won't go in the parks in my city and train like that, not without donuts to tame the police when they will ask me questions; not without donuts to also make a good move with the park inhabitants, squirrels or other Lords! ...! BTW, how's the police in Burbank? I don't have money to buy donuts.

Hey Ando I stopped my training more than a year ago. I was a brown belt in Shito Ryo karate and then trained taekwondo but stopped because my sensei left the town. now I am nowhere near my physical capabilities which I was back then but I have not lost interest in martial arts. I don't have a teacher around me now. So I started training myself but couldn't keep up. Help me out.

Where are you from, I just started shito ryu not too long ago. I'm only a red belt in this style but have practiced martial arts for decades. I find the best way to train is with others so my advise would be to reach out to your community and make new friends or contact some of your old dojo mates. Hopefully someone is into martial arts and would want to train with you once in a while. Osu!

Taaresh Gautam I have a similar problem. I got taken out of Karate to focus on school. Instead, I focused more on martial arts by looking up videos like this. Fight Tips was the first one I found. Then I kept practicing. Try to slowly work yourself into the habit of training a little bit every day. Every time I find a mirror, I always get the erg to shadow box and critique my own technique. Good luck with your training!

I did this once at the beach, and I met a real martial artist. He asked if I am a real fighter or not, because he claimed that I have some great technique. He asked me to spar with him, then I fucked up

o.k.... first I have to say ... you addaped and how you do very good ... when you are possible to do that in realtime in battle ... very cool ... my honest compliment.... second ... a very good teacher and psychologic analyser ... well ... I senced the energy before ... it was a way ... but very good ... 3). what is if: ... your mindset is not the warrior emotional level ... if it es a efficient killing machine ... all hate is transformed in speed, targeting (points/technics) and efficient destructiones ... 4). EVEN when you do that what you told you got the police very soon on your ass ... here in holland/northwest of flevoland for shure ... they called three times the police because nothing ... so ... I support that mindtraining absolutly ... but there are places on that sick planet where you get troubles ...
