PRINCIPLE 3: Look at the Middle

When trying to determine the meaning of a given move; look at the middle of the technique instead of the end. The end may only show you where your hands would end up in your follow through. Imagine part of your attacker’s body between your hands or arms in the middle of a technique and see what you uncover. Move offline to 45˚ or to the side of your opponent and look at the middle of the technique again; what do you see from this different perspective?
