Wow! I feel so dumb sometimes. I've just noticed in stick practice just how much working with the foot couple, the pelvic couple, and the cavities takes the "excess slack" out of the fascia "body suit." I was practicing chambering, strike, parry, and thrust, and I could feel just how much more connected the parry was when I forgot about my arms and just attended to the couples and cavities.

Doh!! Better late than never, I suppose. :-)

I am beginning to wonder if there ever is an arguable case for 'Heavy Yi'

The more I become aware when I am using  'Heavy Yi', which is a lot more than I initially thought and spans a host of activities and not just training,  the more I see it as a Cortisol 'spiker' which leads to background or low level lingering stress or unnecessary 'activation'.
