Miller ] ''...excerpt'' One of the main reasons that I was drawn to the martial art of Ninjutsu (I know, it's now called Budo-taijutsu), was the fact that it was not only more complete than what I had experienced before, but... ...it involved learning to think strategically, both in the way you deal with an assailant, AND in the way you go about moving your own body to do the work required. In other articles, I've described this trimming away of unnecessary baggage as a sign of a true master or professional in any field. The idea is that, with knowledge and experience, we are able to do less and still get the same or better results. Nothing could be more valuable in a life-or-death confrontation with a brutal attacker, than having the ability to work less than he is, and still beat him. In my book "The Karate-Myth", I discuss the realities of the way our bodies are hardwired and the natural responses that occur during work and moments of intense stress, like what takes place in a self-defense situation. It's during these times when we must live by the primary rule of survival... Energy Conservation This rule also applies to warfare. It states simply that... "... after the battle's over, the one with the most resources left... WINS!" Said another way, "if you spend more energy than the results you get back, you're not going to make it." A real street fight, or a self-defense encounter with a determined attacker, is not like professional wrestling (bet I struck a nerve there!). Once your body is beaten to the point of being drained of energy, you don't miraculously come back to pick up a guy who weighs twice what you do so you can pile-drive him into the mat. This is real-life. You can learn more about fighting smarter and not harder in my new book with the same name. It's composed of six chapters that go straight to the point on what you must know if you're going to start out as a victim and end up the victor in a real-world self-defense situation where you're outgunned, out-sized, and the weaker target. Get more information about it here. In real life, you only have so much energy stored in your muscles in the form of glycogen that will allow you to operate quickly but for only so long. In real life, you can only get hit so much and so hard before your body breaks or begins to shut down to protect itself. In real life, you only have seconds to finish him or escape - not minutes like you see in tournaments or in the movies. Do you get the picture? In real life, you must learn how to conserve vital energy, strength, and power while still delivering maximum damage to your opponent. If you can't do that... ...you lose! </div> </td> <td style="width:50%;" valign="top"> [imageauto|Click For Schedule|{UP}Logos%2fMightyKids.jpg|calendar] ====Birthdays==== Coming Soon ====Take The MATS==== [imageauto||{UP}SiteImages%2fmats_large.gif|mats] </td> </tr> </table>
