Den,

You hit it on the head, this is exactly what we are talking about. And by adding the intent (and make it stronger by visualization) you can achieve a greater affect.

Ryu,

sorry for my misconception

Toa,

cheers

Den.

"Emotional content, not anger!"

I have found that over ane last 25 years in my MA proccess that me spiritual side has grown much further that my (meagre) MA abilities.

I have two brothers (bear with me on this) both of whom have done MA. The eldest trained TKD fro a cou[ple of years and then gave up, He is quite materialistic and seems to have no compassion.

The middle (i am the youngest) trained Karate along with my now deceased father, he also gave up. due to many events he became a weed head, with all the shit that that creates ie; weight loss, mood swings etc.

My point??
3/4 years ago the middle brother returned to MA by taking up Ju jitsu, he no longer smokes (anything at all) He has taken on a new partner and her 7 (yes 7) children some of those call him Daddy, and has a beautiful daughter, he has also become a child counsellor I lay this change totally at the door o have found that over ane last 25 years in my MA proccess that me spiritual side has grown much further that my (meagre) MA abilities.

The mind focuses the body, the body supports the spirit, the spirit frees the mind. the whole is a projection of the spirit that is in us all.

Train hard, train safetly, be all you can be.

Hello. Nice topic here. Let me write my own thoughts and if you like em embrase it in your life i think they will help you. I'd like to start with 2 techniques which are widely known. 1st a meditation technique or focus technique is to relax and sit in a comfortable stance and remember past events with other people and relive em in a way of speaking breathing steadily and deeply cleaning with that way negative external emotions. The other technique id like to refer to that i also discovered in very little age as the 1st one is about a pressure point on my left arm that when i press firmly and steadily and then release a sense of calmness and tranquility comes the pressure point im referring to is between the index and thumb fingers of left hand.

Also i would like to write about the ways i found to build a strong will power and where this "will" or intent or whatever you like call it exists in our physical body and how you can feel it and strengthen it with exercises. 1st to build a strong will you need a noble aim in your life doesnt have to be good or bad just has to be a goal the harder the better. Now this will in our bodies exists in our legs from our ankles till the bottom of our abdomen but im not sure if you can fill your whole body with will power (before i start karate i could only feel my will on my ankles and not above em). A way to feel your will on your legs is confronting another individual and compare your will with his and see whos is best is easy to do it just try it.

The ways to build your will : There are several ways to do that but ill post only few if you search for yourself you will find more even more effective. 1st exercise is walking and running or "warmup". Next start stretching your legs , be careful not to hurt yourself. 3d swimming in a sport manner i found an excellent way to build up will power, try as many styles of swimming you know and remember to thrust water with your feet straight (no bend knees or ankles) in the styles you that legs need to be straightened also breath in rhythm .

Thank you for reading i hope you find some sense in my words and learn from them. And dont stop learning friend learn till your last breath.
