Warrior Flow FAQs

How does Warrior Flow Work?

Warrior Flow works by teaching people to move in a way, where we alter people's perception of time and space for the purpose of killing them.

There is nothing else...

How do we do this?

By developing yourself through the Warrior Flow Concepts which are equilibrium control, subtle muscle control, perceptual awareness, dynamic coordination, and creativity. Through this, you are able to as Miyamoto Musashi says in A Book of Five Rings, how to control your body and thus control others.

How do you develop these abilities or attributes in the body?

By performing a series of specific exercises and drills we develop the body on a neural muscular level. And by developing a base level or foundation of movement from which to build on you are able to achieve whatever you are capable of in your body. So instead of muscle memory, it is in reality "muscle thought" (adumbration? I believe this is a part of it) 

How do we do this in the body/mind?

By understanding how the body/mind processes information, to include our perceptions, perspectives, biases, experiences, knowledge, etc., and the context in which we understand it and how it shapes the information coming in through our Umwelt. You are able as you train even down to the quantum level, to develop the attributes you need.

In other words, once you understand how the thing works you can then develop modalities and models of training to achieve the desired skills.

If you can train yourself to do one thing within reason, of course, you can train yourself to do another.

The key is you want to train yourself to recognize things on an intuitive level to be able to take action before and during a movement before something becomes a problem for you.

For example,

If you can train yourself to recognize where their arm is, you can train yourself to avoid the strike and cut it off before it happens by moving sooner and getting their first. Cutting it off before it becomes a problem.

If you can train yourself to use deception you can train yourself to recognize it soon enough to cut it off and even use it against them by countering it in a way where your deception becomes a deception within deception in and of itself.

You must neutralize their shit before they get their shit off.

Other things to consider…

If it's not clear in your mind it's not clear in how you practice it.

If it's not clear in how you practice it is then not clear in how you present and teach it which is a form of practice 10x. So all you're doing is reinforcing in yourself the wrong things through incorrect and unclear teaching methods.

Wherever your hands are, is where they are, and they can't be in two places at once thus developing the ability to fight with your whole body.

Most folks can't tell you what a thing is in their art because they don't even know within the known universe how the thing even works so they can't even begin to ask the right questions.

Every movement you make is a choice. So you've got to know the mechanisms for how a thing works in order to train to make the best possible choices. 

Everything you do or don't do has a cause and effect relationship.

Nothing is random nothing is chaos it only seems that way of you don't know what you're doing if you don't understand what you see and feel and perceive in context of the situation at hand.

But, through proper training, you can learn to filter out the noise so that you can focus on what is pertinent and what is just noise or not important.

When you move with another person even if there is no contact there is always, always, always a cause and effect relationship even if you are not aware of it.

So if you can get ahead of another person’s movement you get to dictate to some degree the possible outcome of a given situation in real-time and in a nanosecond. This is a fact!

Otherwise, no one would ever win a battle. It's not even possible to win if this were not true so even when the enemy makes a mistake you win because it changes the relationship between you and them and alters the possible outcome of the battle. Provided you can recognize it in time to take advantage of it.

It blows my mind how people in the martial arts especially in the reality-based systems all understand the importance of sight, sound touch, etc., or relation times, of the speed of strength, etc. yet, yet have no understand let alone want to learn how the body actually processes the information so that we can make decisions to win the fight. It is absolutely fucking stupid yet this is where most people including a lot of grandmasters are.

The most critical things you can develop are an understanding of how shit works and how your body does things and yet they do not want to know. Now some of them are just not smart enough to understand and some are just stubborn but the truth is it is why they are nowhere near interns of skill where they could and should be.

They don't have a foundational understanding of what the thing is so they can't even begin to get there from here.

Because I know how the body does things and moves within time and space and how it processes information. I know how to prevent it from getting to the place you want to get to within time and space to make it work.

This is the essence of Modeling. Modeling is a calculus that allows you to arrive at a point in the future where their movement becomes so predictable that you already know how they are going to react before they do (I.e., play where the puck is going to be).
