27 Basic Movements
The following twenty-seven basic movements (From my experience in Chito Ryu Karate + Krav Maga) is a routine designed to create “memories” of how to take defensive actions in a situation without thinking about it. It is a process that can be practiced (repeated) over and over with one goal: striving for perfection. Each action can be used alone, together, and/or expanded based on the situation and context in real-time as it happens.
As a result, the movements are overlaid on the real world by our mind, with the imagination being used to display it. At this point in time, the body, all the other objects, and the mind are unified and can perform at their optimal level in the moment. Only then can you merge your imagination with your body's response by imagining your next action and acting upon it.
