Intuition

# instinctive knowing (without the use of rational processes)

# an impression that something might be the case; "he had an intuition that something had gone wrong"

# intuitive - spontaneously derived from or prompted by a natural tendency; "an intuitive revulsion"

# intuitive - obtained through intuition rather than from reasoning or observation

I am now referring to a survival instinct we all tend to ignore. In a self-defense/self-preservation training hall we should focus actively on the mental training necessary to face attacks/assaults.

This is not done. It is something that should not be ignored. Recommendation: Read, "The Gift of Fear."

Recommendation: Read, "No Nonsense Self Defense" web site.

Intuition is something similar to the gokui and its lead in to the ancient classics, i.e. the I Ching and Mysteries. It is also in the same group of things most fighting/martial arts training either ignore of have absolutely no clue as to the value.

I use the gokui to take me to the more esoteric values of my life practice and in that same light have learned that Intuition is one of those subjects of great importance that is intricate to the use of self defense, i.e. avoidance. Avoidance uses intuitive capabilities to use natures device in warning you of dangerous situations BEFORE you enter into the danger zone.

The same site above along with many other sites, books, DVD's, seminars, etc. can be found that will provide the prerequisites of self-defense. This is similar to the gokui of Isshinryu which is that "key" to open many other doors to life's practices via the singular form of practice called karate-do.

In addition there are mangy ways to develop your awareness, i.e. intuition, such a one form of meditation that has the sole purpose of making you "aware" of your life, etc.

As you will find in your search for knowledge and training the many ways and sources of self-development that will be intricate to your practice of self-defense other than what you may practice, right or wrong, in the fighting/martial arts.
