A selection of activities to perform during summer

The movement on an incredibly different field
As we said in the past lessons of this chapter (read Lesson 11.1), the ground is a totally different battlefield if compared to a normal standing situation:

An epic movie but? were ninjas really like that?
What today we call "ninja" is something that is very different from the historiographic truth.
Note - This article has been asked by one of our Core Course practitioners on Patreon (see how to attend our home study classes here Learn Kung Fu online: a beginner-to-expert course).
The real Japanese feudal ninja (or better, "shinobi" 忍者), was:
A spy or a mercenary (not forcibly a killer, not forcibly an athlete nor an expert in comb...

How to face a knife attack
In this practical self-defense tutorial, we see what to do when someone tries to stab us and especially how to prevent it.
The first thing to say is that the knife is an extremely dangerous weapon. It is easy to hide, to use and it moves extremely fast (it is light, versatile and does not need loading movements to cause serious damages): let's do not face a knife until we have absolutely no choices.
Starting from this point, as always, we want to share some solution...

The connection with the ground
When you are a child it is completely normal to stay in close contact with the ground but as you grow, this connection is increasingly missing: let's see how to recover / improve it.
In terms of ground fighting (before accessing the real technical sector), a good fighter must learn to:
Crawl

Use the arms like the legs and vice versa
...
Exercises to get familiar with the ground
