Sharon Friedman – Vigilance and Tranquility

One way to learn to take hits to the face is to tense up the face and relax the neck at the same time. This will teach you awareness to your head muscles and you will be able to transfer the movement better.

Change the angle of your ankle or lift it a little and note how this effects your spine and in turn the neck and head. Relax and repeat several times to gain awareness.
