Songtsan Posted August 31, 2014 (edited) LOL Â For real though.. Â Much of our balance relies on sight. This is common wisdom. Try to ride a bike blindfolded. Â Training martial arts in a dark room with a strobe light affects the balance negatively. The slower the pulse of the strobe, the less information one has to go on...less flashes increases difficulty. Â True Ninjas train their techniques in utter darkness. Â In a real fight, if you have been in one before, you know that things are rushed, and that scenes flash fast, and that the scuffle can appear mysterious in hindsight. Â Use of strobe lights is equivalent to using a Chin Dip Assist when doing pull-ups...as you drop the flash tempo, it is like dropping the amount of counterweight on the Assist. Â Adepts practice their craft in darkness. Â Balance/stability is rapidly achieved this way... Â EDIT: Â Practice of pattern drills would be interesting! Especially involving live weapons like ratan sticks Edited August 31, 2014 by Songtsan 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
