He was always talking about being relaxed and at total ease with yourself allowing you to be completely aware of your situation. Different setting completely but he always said he didn't truly enjoy jumping until he stopped thinking about the jump in sections.

Though that's not what brought me to the art, nor do I think that that's what brings many folks to it. At least, not overtly. Perhaps on the inside that's why we all invest in Taiji time. Just like continuity (there is none) there is no perfect form. Though each form brings me closer to the best one; right now what seems amazingly perfect won't in 10 years.

I like Renzo's comment too. Eventually we will get to the point in the martial arts where they say, "one touch penetrates to the bone." great comment as always.

Equilibrium at the center of it, mental and physical. One body one mind: " one clear intent....once clear action" Thanks for the posting! Pat Expand, Yield, Press, and Sink, describe the moves of the form perfectly.

Equilibrium at the center of it, mental and physical. One body one mind: ” one clear intent….once clear action”

Technique is emphasized first and foremost in Jiu Jitsu so many people complain when they get caught in an out of the ordinary submission because it was not perfect. This is when I remind them of what Renzo Gracie once said, "If you tapped, it's a submission." Sometimes you just have to grab their shit and break it... to put it in simpler terms.
