ENTER THE MATRIX AND WATCH THE FULL VIDEO LESSON CAREFULLY:
Repeated viewings of GM Perkins’ movement while flowing with students yields tremendous insights into how to react properly; words cannot fully convey this but you will begin to feel in your own body what is effective GC movement.
• Even if the enemy is moving fast, you don’t want them to feel your movement (except when you hit them).
• Even with your initial contact, you want to be as light as a feather so they can’t read you.
• You disappear, which forces the enemy to over-commit.
• This is what GM Perkins meant by “Spirit” in the original name of Guided Chaos, “Ki Chuan Do” or “The Way of the Spirit Fist”, which he also called “Ghost Fist.”
• You need to train balance to accomplish this.
• John created a solo training tool when he was 15 to train this invisibility principle which he now calls the “Combat Mobile.” This tool will be available on our website sometime this fall.
• When you move your body out of the way at the same time as staying light as a feather, we call this being “Unavailable and Unavoidable”.
• Your non-hitting contact or reference points exert zero pressure but act as antennas to tell you how to move and disappear.
• This ongoing, creative, spontaneous, and non-patterned adaptation is what distinguishes GC from every other system.
• As we show over and over, you move offline and in while hitting simultaneously and remaining in contact yet undetectable.
• The rest of the video John works Contact Flow continuously with several students, making many corrections and improvements to their motion that are far too subtle and numerous to detail here. You just have to watch and learn!
• Final section of the video covers drop-hitting off the enemy’s push if he manages to get purchase on you. The drop instantly pegs your root while unexpectedly delivering a return strike the enemy’s not ready for.
