How does common man defend his opponent's punch? Usually, backward like the pictue left. (I'm sorry that the attacker in the picture is in an artificial and unnatural, for he was much strained^^. Ignore it.) Almost everyone, who especially is not used to fighting, reacts like this.

But this method of defending is very bad, for it is very easy for the attacker to continue his attacks and succeed while very difficult for the defender to avoid or to make powerful counter attack. The right picture shows the next result of the left picture.

In order to correct this problem, you should know why you react like that before you learn how to react better.

Usually there is some strong natural disposition that enforces you to react that way, so if you don't delete it you cannot correct your motion even though you could correct your knowledge.

My answer is, you fear his attack, or his fist. It is very natural that a defender fear his opponent's attack. So you should be attacker. That means, you should attack in your mind even when you defend or avoid his attack first.

This needs your tide.(See Ch.21) It cannot be that I rescue myself if I don't throw myself off.(Ch.23) Then, you can get the next skills.

Then what is the better skill of avoiding? : The Evolved Skill
