Traditionalist - the best approach is no approach, simply draw back to the middle of the road. There we can move in any direction.
It is said that martial arts is learning to react. We react to situations as well as attacks as well as unforseen situations and troubles. Our goal is to remain centered. Balanced. Able to pivot in amy direction.
In sparring this manifests itself in keeping our weight balanced and keeping our knees bent slightly. Such a stance allows us to shift left and right or to shuffle forward or back without shifting our weight first.
Be like this in your techniques as well. Always be ready to abandon the technique you are attempting and pivot into another technique. Be fluid and flexible yet rooted and unmoving.
Be like this in every aspect of life. Be like smoke yet rooted like a tree.
If you are interested in learning Kung Fu call us - we are currently training via Zoom, while we are forced to isolate:
