Novicius Concepts: The Seven Deadly Virtues, Integrated Fighting Framework

 

Right now, the things that I see or think I see myself having problems with in regards to the virtues are Virtuous Turns, Virtuous Steps, and

Virtuous Lock.  First and foremost, Turns and Steps are because I  can be pretty uncoordinated.  Lock gives me fits on the Zero Stem

because I want to automatically extend.

 

0603 2012 -- We need to work these in the first lessons and drills, lots of repeats. --Steve

 

6/25/08 When you are just standing around in lines or walking somewhere, try doing Virtious Turns, Steps, and Lock for Zero-stems.  The more you can practice just the movements, the more you will get them into muscle memory.  It's a foreign and unnatural thing to do and you have to teach yourself not to swing, but to "lever" -- Max

Class Two: Zero Stem, Rotation Blocks

Zero Stem turned out to be tough for me.  I understand the concept, but I have trouble keeping locked.  I just want

to automatically extend.  I think It's just going to take me a little more practice and I will have it.

 

0603 2012 -- Yup. repeats. Remember the whole idea is to develop blows without using the arms. -- Steve
