Polarized

We are so polarized. About everything. 

The government should stop mandating masks. The government is removing the restrictions too fast.

You should restrict screen time for kids. You should let kids make their own  decisions.

Oh Boy. The extremes has never done good to society. There should be a balance between things, between decisions. Balance.

When I am doing a technique and asked if I am pushing or pulling the answer is that physically I do both. My intent might be to pull or to push a specific part of my body but 99% of the time, it is a combination of a pull and a push at the same time.

Take for example the horizontal elbow strike. Is it a push or a pull? Your elbow is going out and striking the target - your hand is pulling and your shoulder is pushing. One side of the hips is pulling while the other is pushing. What are you focused on? For  me is making sure I have most effectiveness in my strikes so in the elbow strike example, I will make sure that my shoulder is not the only part of the body engaged (pushing) and that I incorporate my hand, the other shoulder, the hips, the feet... sound like the 6 harmonies...
