Foundation Skills

The essence of fighting is to give, but by no means to receive, but to be effective for increasing one's chances of survival and allowing an opponent minimal opportunity to counterattack

The reality of the techniques, are that they are fast, quick and very brutal when used. As in any form of duelling, serious injury or death were always a risk. There is nothing romantic about combat. It is however, as a art form, richly deserving of study

Keep your legs slightly bent - This will reduce the time it takes you to react to an opponents move, or to start your own attack

Keep your weapon at the ready. Always be prepared and ready to block or attack

The ability to improvise is important
