Mind Like Water (Mushin)

What goes through a person's head when he is held up at gunpoint? "Mind Like Water (Mushin)" is a humorous dissection of the four-second decision-making process when a martial artist faces the barrel of a .45 automatic.

It's really like a beginners mind. A person with full awareness, but no expertise in any martial art, would react in the same way, I think. Mind is the key, not technique. Technique is just a vehicle to reach that mind if you haven't it beforehand

[BigBadErik]

@MegaNewbie100 Agreed!  I like your way of thinking :-)

This is more like, "How to rob someone." Keep your distance, have a partner, don't lock your arm, run wide. lol

[BigBadErik]

@asahearts1 takes a criminal to know a criminal, I guess ;-) But somehow, I don't think desperate people are looking on YouTube for mugging tips LOL

toss it to the ground, act like ur really scared, wait for him to reach for the wallet or if that false sense of security starts to show and he lowers his guard which ever first.

[BigBadErik]

@Wolfsbane909 Great idea. And when his partner shoots you in the stomach, you can all have a good laugh together ;-)

[ChangingResolve]

Very wise.. I like it

[takezo1977]

Yeah true..

[Wolfsbane909]

@BigBadErik good point, I should consider taking Krav Maga as well. Or maybe just spin the guy around and let his partner shoot his friend, HUMAN SHIELD =)
