Of cours...Thank you for your insite on that Morgan. Of course there is a lot more to a real heat of the moment event than just practice. I guess it in addition to my training I have also been forced to undergo extreme events from an early age. So maybe I am in part contaminated by battle. How would you suggest an ordinary person overcome the possibility of freezing?Robert Jay Arnold 孔有有https://www.blogger.com/profile/01998135237971493549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-703344741984286316.post-78993387365190474792009-07-20T23:12:56.135-07:002009-07-20T23:12:56.135-07:00Fox I love your ideas and to read your exploration...Fox I love your ideas and to read your exploration of Bagua, but I've got to disagree with you here. <br /><br />Freezing isn't a result of having to think about your moves. It's a combination of shock, fear, confusion, and adrenaline. <br /><br />I can cite my resources for you if you want, but in the interest of space let me just refer to a few things:<br /><br />1. Interviews with assault and rape victims showed that the universal reaction to the beginning of the attack was disbelief. "I can't believe this is happening," was the most common thing these people thought.<br /><br />2. We are neurologically wired to flinch in reaction to a physical threat. <br /><br />3. Adrenaline and stress inhibit your fine motor skills. There are cases of people unable to call 911 in the heat of the moment. Their inability to push the buttons wasn't because they had to think about the technique, it is because your body behaves differently under stress with adrenaline. You simply lose the ability to hit pressure points and snag fingers.<br /><br />The body is physically wired a certain way, reflexes and instincts go back farther than any martial art.Morgan Blackmorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07429457496766939311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-703344741984286316.post-33120949616246333862009-07-02T20:16:02.620-07:002009-07-02T20:16:02.620-07:00Great article.
