Martial Art Techniques are physical manifestations of certain underlying principles, such as:
\n(a) the re-programming of the reptilian brain<\/span><\/a> so as to respond from a relaxed state of being rather than a tense state, when feeling threatened, and
\n(b) turn a straight strike into a spiral motion that ends in a lock.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The principles of body use and application are the fixed foundations of unlimited bodily expressions.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

A key principle is also the basis of what is called the “theory of mind” mechanism. Theory of mind is the mechanism<\/span><\/a> that enables us to interpret the mental states of other people, their dispositions, intentions and motivations.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The relaxed and unified attention on mind & body is the method through which martial movements and techniques become internalized and utilized. Their principles and method of internalization form the essence of martial arts. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
