Inside vs Outside

One concept that we’ve been taught is Inside and Outside. This might sound weird to some people, until you realise what it’s about.

Stand with your hand together and infront of you. Make a slight circle with your arms so that they are parallel with the floor and away from your body. Everything inside this circle is called your inside, and everything on the outside of it, well, that’s your outside.

You use these terms when it comes to defending or fighting. You either move into the inside of your attacker or towards his outside. Might sound stupid to move into your attacker when he’s attacking you? No it’s not.

Think about this:

You’re about to hit someone, and as you throw the punch he moves backwards and defends himself. Nothing strange about this, because that is how many people do it, and it won’t surprise you.

Now, let’s say you throw another punch, and this time he steps towards you and defends himself. Immediately you’ll be thrown aback because you have someone that doesn’t seem scared that you just tried to punch him, he’s walking right to you!
