THE SENSEI LEADER Workbook
Borrowing ! The most difficult tactic to master is borrowing.! Here’s an example from self-defense:! Instead of blocking, (opposition), you step inside the arc of a punch, intercepting the strike without diminishing or even deflecting it’s power. Then, with expert timing and position, you turn your hips adding your power to energy you borrow from your attacker. You blend your power with his and …! … wham! He’s flat on his back.! This type of technique requires expert balance, focus and timing. You’ve got to master control of combined forces, both yours and your attacker’s.!
Borrowing is the art of recognizing and exploiting opportunities to combine the energies of those around you, plus your own, to create an exponentially more powerful outcome. That can be really exciting to a leader!!
