These arts rely upon extremely subtle balance breaking of the opponents structure - hence my interest in the topic.Erik the Strangehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14719361294346916751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6315333410007118561.post-9015760390978821442012-01-05T14:11:52.568-08:002012-01-05T14:11:52.568-08:00I enjoyed this post.

I used to fall frequently until a physio helped me to build better visual balance skills. I guess all martial artists could benefit from better balance! The essence of the training was to prevent eyes getting distracted by not focussing directly on anything that is moving and to find horizontal lines such as the tops of doors or lines in brickwork as conscious reference points. Our brains like horizons so if your indoors or otherwise can't see one then find a substitute and your balance will be better!Cathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01788880694796009146noreply@blogger.com
