Sharon Friedman – Vigilance and Tranquility

A good drill to learn both hitting and taking hits. One person closes his eyes and the others push him anywhere with their fists and feet (for the beginning, later use everything) and his job is to move with the pushes and stay upright and light oon his feet. Use moving with the force to avoid getting the hit inside or getting tangles with feet or arms. The people who push learn to move with bodies who do not stand still and learn how to relax themselves in this changing enviroment. it is very different to hit someone stationary and someone who is moving on his or someone elses will. Take this into account and learn. you can do this with eyes open to to learn the effects of expecting a hit for the person who sees it and tenses up instead of choosing to let the wave pass. Think about it and practice.
