Re-discover body's innate intelligence.
What is FightNOT
We tend to go through life fighting and worse yet, wanting to fight. Remember Don Quixote?
FightNOT seeks that supreme excellence - breaking enemy's resistance without fight.
It does require very specific skill and different training methods. To recognize body's innate intelligence and not interfere with it to its detriment.
There is a lot of violence in the world, agreed. It is unfortunate. But doesn't it all begin internally, within the one who wants to fight?
So, who is the enemy? And to whom?
Paraphrasing Neo - I fight because I choose to...
He changed his mind though, at the end.
Our CNS responds to EVERYTHING.
Every.Move.Depends.On.It.
And training it is no small task.
-
Air - INSPIRATION. Moves all things. Life force that governs all forms of movement. It regulates bodily functions and builds cells. Associated with communication, change, and transformation.
-
Water - JOY. Force that flows and heals, but also can crush; adaptable, nourishing, and healing. It keeps the joints lubricated and mobile.
-
Earth - HUMILITY. Grounding, nurturing, and stabilizing. Giving structure and form to the human body. When this energy is in balance, we feel strong and full of vitality.
-
Fire - PURPOSE. Source of heat and power. It gives energy and vitality. Activates the sex drive. Boosts creativity, increases feelings of confidence, enthusiasm, and courage.
Man combined the above four elements to make

Metal - REVERENCE. Metal cuts through life; separating the unnecessary, spent and impure. Its edge is brutally sharp and cuts through life’s clutter and paralyzes with fear.

Since early days I was intrigued with what is commonly referred as "martial arts".
It has been quite some journey of 30+ years of fighting, being beaten up, ignorance, discoveries, frustration and everything in between. So...
What have I learned? Apart from that fighting is a detriment?
If you believe that you are not controlled or guided by someone else, that just means you are in the hands of the professional. Controlling the opponent without him noticing - becoming a pro - is the work in progress throughout the lifetime.
Come, explore and see your inner fight. Once your perceptions sharpen - invisible becomes inevitable and life more enjoyable.
And then there might be the wisdom to apply the right leverage in the right place at the right time.
