Have a partner walk around the area you are working in and avoid making contact with you. Walk after him or her and see how your movement affect his choice of direction and speed and on the other hand how his avoidance controls your movement.
Repeat the drill with no working on paying attention to where he is headed and go there instead of where he is right now. You pay attention and it pays back to you.
Repeat the drill now working on releasing your movement from your partner. Keep the idea in mind and walk with freedom to where it feels right. It may take a while to release the urge to follow and unleash your intuition but letting all your faculties work for you creates a sum greater than the pieces apart.
The idea is not all the work is the deadly hits you see in the movies. Everything is important and many ways the result of an actual fight is determined by a moment of you simply not being there. Pay attention out of freedom and not out of fear. Move from your own volition. Be alive as long as you are alive.
Are you making the choices? (or how to avoid getting killed by your lack of personal freedom)
