V. Transitions

Assuring yourself of a balanced decision

The objective is to neutralize the situation, not focus upon whether the attacker throws a right hands or a left hand, the main objective is to nullify the attacker. Transition is the ability to put the other concepts into anything you do and as also use as a tool to assure yourself of a balanced decision.

Again we can give examples to transition concept in the time of an attack with these:

• Fast “V” steps=> transition to all distances rapidly
• Universal application principle=> it doesn’t matter whether you are using a naked hand or a weapon, same movements can be applied to different context.
• Timing=> moving at the correct time, not early or late
• Ideal line=> to reach the target you should focus on the shortest path
• Going forward=> To increase mental and physical speed the path is being shortened
• Imagination
• Synchronism
