boxing breakthrough

Today: breakthrough in understanding combat. Focusing on pushing through on punches (instead of just landing them) yielded the notion of pushing the opponent around, directing the path of the opponent's movement. Like most epiphanies, this sounds so simple, yet the difference between knowing and truly understanding is what true learning is, and true knowledge. This strategy arises on the spot and is flexible and organic, choosing from combinations and so on, which is different from the intellectual's idea of slowly plotted, premeditated strategic planning. This is a big breakthrough.

Another good reason to work out. You know the saying - you have to be going somewhere to stumble into something.
