Mind and Body balance

You must be aware that your mind and body are connected as one unit.
If your thoughts are different to your actions then there is no balance.

You must train your body to be in balance with your mind, be in the immediate moment.
Especially in self-defence, as a martial artist you cannot be divided.

Too often you will see people going about their business as though
they are in their own little bubble, unaware of what is happening around them.

As a small experiment to divide your mind and actions, follow the next procedure:

1. Sit on a chair and raise your right leg.
2. Start and keep turning your foot in a clockwise direction.
3. Now in your mind; keep drawing a number 6 in the air in front of you.

Does your foot start changing direction?

Have awareness of your own mind and body.
Keep them connected, not seperate.
