Before we apply this principle to your fighting, let me give you a
broader example of how my wife and I use this concept in a non-martial
arts context. This example may make it easier for you to apply the principle
to your self defense training.
Even though my wife, Kate, and I consider ourselves to be homebodies
(we are the typical “nesters”), we occasionally get out and about.
And sometimes, we have to negotiate our way through crowds of people.
Have you ever been stuck in a concert crowd, for example? Or ever
had to find your way through a mob of sports fans? Even the annual
county and state fairs have aisles of commercial booths that leave us in a
gridlock. What do you do?
