It is an attempt to communicate across a vast gulf in culture and experience, the gulf that exists between TAIJI PRACTICE REQUIREMENTS Although you can practice any way you want, the best way to practice taiji or qigong is in a group. It does not matter how big the group is; what does matter is if the group energy is together or in sync when everyone goes the same speed and same direction. In old Chinese tradition, the group energy is very often emphasized.

Some instructors and writers, for example, will not count repeated forms. But basically, you may judge whether a taijiquan sequence is complete by comparing the arrangement of the names given to the techniques. PHYSICAL REACTION TO INFORMATION Our right to physically defend ourselves is widely accepted in the contemporary world. Most countries have laws protecting the individual from prosecution when he or she is under direct threat and must defend against bodily harm or even death.

Even the footwork we use in staff fighting involves setting up ideal pathways for the transmission of force and leverage through these facets. SELF-DEFENSE: A UNIQUE TEACHING CHALLENGE There are six very important distinctions that make self-defense different from almost every other subject we teach.1. Rarity. Emergencies are extremely rare, complex, and varied. Rarity means there is very limited experience available on how to deal with such an event.Rarity equates with a lack of experience (both globally and personally for the instructor) and an equal lack of reliable

INTRODUCTION TO VIOLENCE: SCALE OF FORCE OPTIONS Even if you have never completed a woodworking project, you probably know that you could pound nails with a drill. You also know that it’s not a horribly effective method of doing it. And it is really tough on the drill. If you want to drive nails, then a hammer is a much better choice. Clearly, knowing your tools makes any woodworking project go more smoothly. LEVEL 6-LETHAL FORCE Gary Fadden was a salesman for firearms manufacturer Heckler & Koch.
