In martial arts it’s important to learn the lesson of moving from the “center.” When we speak of “center” we’re referring to the center of mass, which is located approximately 3 finger widths below the naval. The goal is to learn to initiate movement from this point as apposed to moving in a sequential fashion. This is a skill that takes time to develop, but is well worth the time and brings with it many benefits such as:
- More powerful techniques
- Quicker and more explosive movements
- Enhanced Stability
In a recent video, we demonstrate a drill which can help you to develop this incredibly important skill!
