Week of February 1, 2009 - February 7, 2009

What, did everyone forget about barakarate? (not my term)


All the hand wringing I have been seeing this week makes me think that people have forgotten how the master works. You see, he always allows his opponents to make the first move. He waits to understand his opponents. In that understanding he discovers his opponents weakness, or vital point if you will. He then allows his opponent and all onlookers to believe that he has been critically injured, thereby goading his opponent into atempting a finishing blow using their full force. He then executes a perfectly timed counter-attack against his opponent's vital point with a technique designed not to kill them, but to render them powerless and to make their own technique useless against him. In this way, there is no question as to whether or not he meant to do it, whether it was an act of skill or desperate luck. The opponent is forced to admit defeat or be made to look like fools.
