Do you want to know whether someone has a deep understanding of their martial art?

Here’s 3 things to look for:

Are they ‘in’ or ‘on’ their feet and legs? If they are ‘standing on their bones’ they can be easily pushed over, a skilful practitioner is balanced and can drop their weight into the soft tissue in the legs down to the feet by softening down through the body, and push directionally from there.

Are their arms driven from the waist? Flapping the arms around is weak, but if driven from the feet, legs and then the waist, it empowers them.

Is their mind weak and easily distracted, or focused with strong intent. Their projected intent will show this and you can see it in their eyes.

Looking at all the reels and videos on social media it’s rare to see a practitioner with these abilities.
