Neko Ryu Goshin Jitsu finds ways to make the most of what you’ve got. It was developed as a simple self-defense system for sedentary businessmen – not for world-class athletes.
The sedentary businessman assaulted by a thug is probably physically overmatched. The natural attributes of strength, speed, and youth likely favor the thug. So, to succeed in defending himself, the businessman needs unnatural attributes.
The businessman needs attributes such as:
· Economy of motion
· Body alignment
· Body movement (maneuver to a position of advantage)
· Efficient use of body mass
· Efficient application of force (maximizing pressure)
· Vital point targets
· Rotational energy
· Leverage
· Balance
· Connection with the earth
· Surprise
· Misdirection
· Distraction
· Expedient weapons
· Training (skills drilled repetitively and executed without thought)
· Tactics
· Strategy
If you’re a world-class athlete you may believe you can take care of yourself in any situation. But, there’s always someone bigger, faster, stronger, smarter, better armed, or luckier than you. Even if you’re the reigning world champion – you won’t be tomorrow.
Future posts will explore these unnatural attributes.
