There’s two topics Rick, there’s tma and inbreeding , and then there’s the focus on the what ifs .
The inbreeding thing is simple, the tma royal family had the purest line , at some point they decided in purity that marrying there cousins was the way to stay pure.
Even when the offspring started sprouting extra toes , no criticism because its of the line. Pretty soon there’s timmys running there own inbreeding circus.
Then there’s the technique over attribute that evolved
This for this
Imaginary response for imaginary attack. It encourages imaginary worry
No confidence In attributes but reliance on technique.
Just my two cents

Step One: Learn to feel when you are off balance even by the smallest distance.
Step Two: Learn to feel when your partner is off balance even by the slightest amount.
Step Three: Learn to be balanced in your fighting stance.
Step Four: Learn to feel when your partner is not balanced in their fighting stance.
Step Five: Learn to feel the change in balance that indicates movement.
Step Six: Learn to perceive your partner’s movement the moment they initiate it.
this is were I branch off and am working off touch already
Step Seven: Join the partners movement and maintain the relationship
Step eight : Take the movement given , and lead it to a superior position
Step nine : slip the force to the superior position , basically step eight but with closing
Step ten play !!!!
So Rick , not really any different but using the building blocks I work with .

then stretch it to a gap and highly they can stay doing it in the moment
ok that should read hopefully they can stay doing it in the moment ……
got to stop using my phone to post and auto-predict …. my English is bad enough

Bit busy Rick and haven’t had a chance to go over it again.
But id remove the predictive element and make it tactile, the yeilding etc, instead of working if a strike, feed it of a push etc.
Its just so hard to get folks to not try predict, or watch a strike initially .
Wrong mindset imho
Needs to be reflective
Don’t move be moved , then stretch it to a gap and highly they can stay doing it in the moment

I agree , I really think that is the explanation for the standing practice , trying to open get vertical and engage the posterior chain.
All the postures are compressed postures , under rather than the over we all tend to head towards as everything is away from us and out centric to our mindset.

I’ll take another look Rick when I get some more time, lots behind these clips

Not just okay I am balanced but what does that feel like?
Absolutely
Actually it was really good Rick , it is a hard series to critique and play with because it is very similar and yet very different in approach to some stuff I do . But I think the objective and principles are the same, and I can see were I would do something different , as actually doing something else.
the progression showed me a lot that I take for granted.
I started with the Balance drill myself , and had to narrow it down to just how the force in my feet felt to begin with.
there are some tangents this material can spring into.
actually crossover into Ralstons games as well , but that’s heading in a joining direction rather than balance. Well Horizontal vs vertical balance? … there’s a thought ….
Just stirred up some thoughts.
I would take the balance drills into yielding , were ones folds around the push , but only as much as one is moved , if you move beyond the push you are adding not feeling the force , and the drill becomes a drill of balance between the two.
Another variation is to follow the hands you touch the hands and they lead , you yield and follow you cant influence there path you dont break and detach or predict , you just mirror there action.

Cool Rick , the drilling is clearly showing what your exploring and their trying to experience
a few asides
see how in step one everyone goes internal (except you) their trying to feel there balance , they all drop there heads and get meditative …. feeling is something that happens to you , that you contemplate ?
I would offer that better body being comes from not observing the feeling in your body , but from acknowledgement of the feeling in your body.
A subtle profound shift of thought , that feeling is not a message sent from your body to be listened too , but a occurrence in your body that you often ignore.
if you look for the sensation in your mind you will not truly find it , it is already an abstract, just as you cannot listen harder , you can only pay more attention.
the conciousness of feeling must be the conciousness in the body, not of the body.
at some point this sensation needs to go from becoming a internal observation to a internal projection , as you fill your attention goes from in to out , from specific to general.
Once you can reach your body being (attention/awareness) extending that outward to another is just an extension , I beleive this is what Ralston refers to as outreaching , at this point your sensation of yourself becomes the awareness of the other as all influence is felt.
this is the conciousness side of joining IMHO.

Nothing new under the sun Rick
awesome stuff .
I love it when you get similar answer from differing sources , hard to hold the truth back !

its pretty esoteric Rick , I cant see anything in the threads just blank pages?
