Accept & Flow Being stiff, rigid – condense, is not the best idea in most situations. In this model, we are not using kinetic energy. We often try to resist it or even fight it. It’s much more effective to accept and flow with energy. A liquid body can surf on waves of kinetic energy accumulating speed and power, which is then used as a pendulum, catapult, whip etc.  Firstly we harmonise and synchronise with our kinetic energy, and then we flow of others. We need to harness the inner feeling (kinesthesia & proprioception) to use kinetic energy.   What...

by Tibi Moravcik A human is a social creature. We take power from social contacts. Mental health most of us needs attention from others, we need touch and hug… Your main power is your attention.

By Synergy, we create energy through social contact. 1+1=3 Also, Love is a kind of synergy energy.   Social contact is healing. Today many people heal...

According to Force The first aspect is about a force which is moving with your body: 1. Passive movement is made by an external...

Stress also has a strong effect on your workforce productivity. Under stress, it is much harder to focus, so your mistakes magnify, and your creativity goes down. Stress...

by Tibi Moravcik In the previous blog titled: ‘Flow of Balance’ I explained how we flow against gravity and how we can synchronise with others. Now the question is: how can this be used in a real fight? The answer: two waves can combine to create either constructive (in-phase) or destructive force (out of phase). If you move in phase with your opponent, you create constructive interference, which can be used to take his balance. By moving in phase with your opponent’s strike, his force doesn’t hit you. If you move out of phase with the opponent, it can help you to keep...
