There are principles, techniques and methods that can only be learned slowly, gently, and carefully. When mastered, they make other techniques and methods so effortless that they seem incidental. But discovering these principles can be counterintuitive, to say the least.
You cannot learn these skills in competitive sparring, wrestling, or mma. But they can be applied in all contexts when mastered.
They seem to defy logic. However, they are grounded in well-known principles of Newtonian mechanics. To master them, one must transcend normal instinct, and explore physics, and develop new and more subtle kinds of proprioception.
The good news is that, when you apply these subtle skills to other martial arts, the results can be truly astounding. You will have skills that will confound the opponent as thoroughly as they confounded you when you started to learn them.
