Subliminal Suggestions V: The Knife and More
The application of SGs in edged weapon combat is very profound. The knife heightens the sense of danger, the threat doubles. The reactions of the enemy are usually swift, coarse and sincere! This is because they are fighting for their very life. Because of this state of high-alert, the opponent can be faked even easier than before (as in the empty handed fight mode). Yes, Subliminal Gestures (overt and covert) can fall into the Realm of Enganyo (faking) just as easily as do any of the other tricks and ploys from the SG Arsenal we discussed previously. Pete Kautz and his ongoing studies at Alliance Martial Arts should have augmented your grasp about this broad spectrum of study of that which seems to defy the rules of the physical world and combat as most men know it.
The knife itself often becomes an almost hypnotic-like icon to the adversary. In skilled hands the weaving actions employed are in effect like that of the classic snake and bird example. Snakes can paralyze their prey with gaze and intent. Powerful waves of subliminal command energy are like a Bio-Microwave System which all creatures possess, obviously some more than others, as in the snake’s case. I have personally seen Pit bulls hypnotize squirrels out of trees. Swaying, low moaning, intense staring and random shifting of position to keep the critter in their psychic Pit Bull sights. Pit Bulls not only bite one hell of a lot harder than a normal K-9, they also have a lot of intensity/psychic force about them. It is this aspect which makes them frightening, people feel it radiating off of them. So I think that a concentrated Warrior Mind is also capable of generating and projecting a strong psychic force and intent too. This natural gift, this intent or power (Kraft) should be used in conjunction with subliminal gestures, fakes and magic. It adds belief to the combat deception-murder mix. When you believe, you see, they believe too…every time. It starts with you.
Next:
Simple SG-based ploys you can try when using the knife.
Knife x M/T Hand.
Knife x Knife.
SG ideas for The Knife.
FIRST:
Here is one that is done almost as you would normally execute what is called a "scissors" cut to the opponent’s limb/arm. Ideally you would do this same motion but employ it as a high-speed lead. Taking care to have distance and timing well in hand before the feathers fly. (You are playing off of the peripheral vision-survival software in their head. That, you see, is where the game really takes place.)
A more advanced version could run somewhat like this…
If you are using larger blades apply the Beat to the inside line of their blade.
If you are using smaller blades, then snipe at the inside line of the opponent’s hands in place of the Beat.
SECOND:
As they try to either parry-beat or cut back at you, roll off of their pressure. You have "motor set" them into a predictable pattern.
Now as you roll away (disengage) with your blade, point in the same direction with your empty, opposite hand.
As you roll around to the outside line (To Guard) immediately and smoothly point in the opposite direction with the empty/non-weapon bearing hand. Your blade begins to wind away swiftly in the opposite manner (If done right they will chase the empty hand in the direction you point, with their blade hand…only for a moment. That is your window of opportunity).
This should launch you into a graceful and unstoppable in-Quartata thrust to his inside line.
This may seem implausible to some. When you see it done to another it appears to create a tornado like swirl of action/energy that "sucks" the adversary’s attention away momentarily. Destroys his Guard and his will to attack. Confusion. It leaves them ripe for a deceptive play at Arms. It only takes a second and some good timing and the fight is won! And…this level of SG is quite doable by almost anyone willing to practice a little and invest in their future.
THIRD:
Some things are transferable and may be "passed along" to others…think of yawning, one person in a car yawns and soon, everyone else is yawning too! Nervousness is transferable too…can you think of a way that "nervousness" can be spread to others? Confusion also passes between people, groups and programs very easily. What are the dynamics of confusion? How can such an element be applied covertly? Is this "Monkey Wrenching" or something else? "Monkey Wrenching" is another name for a type of illusion-terror…identifying and mastering the concept of "Transferable Things" is not Monkey Wrenching, but in the same family.
