SAILS FOLLOW THE WIND : Success for journey


In every success story, there are many wind to contend with. Before your journey, observe the wind carefully, detect its direction, and then follow it. You will get your destination twice as fast with half the effort.

Asian martial arts are all based on this strategy. The art of defense is not about force against force but rather the idea that you flow with the force of your opponent. When he delivers a punch, you should avoid his blow, causing him to fall from his own force. While he is off balance, you can quickly and effortlessly deliver your blow. In essence, you will learn to tune in with the situation and learn to react instead of to act.
