Theory of internal 1) This is primarily what I focus on. Binary. There is only tension and relaxation. Tension refers to using muscular force. Relaxation refers to “dead” weight of the arms. Then the mind comes into play, directing attention to various points of the body to: a) fill that particular area with energy, b) use …
It’s been awhile since my last post. Events have transpired, circumstances have changed (slightly) In short, there was no real reason for me to write anything. I wasn’t up to the mark.

The line is formed by the constant energy being dictated to go up. It is similar to steam going from one vent, to another, directly above it. You can …
I mentioned this in a previous post but thought I should re-emphasize it’s importance: when using a punching bag, attempt not to lean or push it. The goal of a punching bag should be to move as naturally as you can while retaining attention on the spine + the center and entering the “flow.” The “flow” is …
So I was working on the punching the other day and I decided to “go hard.” Doing combos, moving around, using energy – that kind of stuff. After a minute or two I was getting winded. I was sweating and though not actually out of breath, it got my heart racing. Then I started thinking …
