Pay Attention to TriflesHistorical route: http://www.tracyskarate.com/Way/trifles.htm Historical reconstruction: This page is stored locally. Where the original copyrighted page is not available for republication, the text is a locally authored reconstruction. Small details—foot angle, hand position, head alignment—often decide whether a movement remains stable under pressure.
Details change structure
A few inches of stance width can change balance. A checking hand left too low can expose the head. A strike that lands with poor wrist alignment can injure the defender.
Do not worship details
Details serve function. If a correction has no mechanical purpose, it may be tradition rather than necessity. Tracy Legacy Web Site • historical reconstruction |
