Mind
Move beyond rigid models, habitual reactions and emotional compulsion. Respond with clarity and appropriateness. This applies equally to the smallest and largest acts in life — from a difficult decision to responding under pressure.“Dodging, ducking, and weaving require a high degree of physical stamina and are unnecessary if the opponent's attacking limbs are being properly controlled.”
