Where Are You Going To Place Your Vision In The Middle Of Freestyle ?
There is, of course, that Muggers awful trick known as blindsiding. This is the sneak attack, by misdirection, from the rear, or some unknown angle or sense of time. Assuming that you are going to have enough awareness to avoid getting clocked by a blindside, what are you going to do?
Where are you going to focus your eyes when some mugger or thug wants to hit you when you least expect it? The other guy wants you to be unaware, to blink, to be unconscious. You have to remain aware no matter how fast and furious the action gets, and you have to figure out where where to place your gaze, how to keep the visual perceptions open.
The first place I was told to look with the eyesight , way back when I was doing kenpo karate kumite, was on the chest. One was supposed to fix the eyes on the chest and try to unfocus and see everything. With this method one could use the eyes to see the whole area of the opponent, and not be fooled by an attack from a smaller area.
The problem here is that it is the human being, not the body, that is attacking you. The body is just a hunk of vaguely aware meat, and, especially in the arena of the martial arts, it is being used by the individual which is the human being. You must perceive the human being operating the body if you are going to understand who is making the decisions involved in the attack of the body.
One Kang Duk Won martial arts teacher told me to look at the body when doing freestyle, and especially the Wing Chun kung fu drill known as Sticky Hands, because the eyes could be used to fool you. I found this extremely interesting, but, in the end, it was sort of a limiting concept. It was years before I figured out what was wrong with this type of thought.
The error in looking at the body of the other fighter is found in the concept that the eyes are the windows of a mans soul. The soul is the human being, it is the spirit that is atually making the real decisions. If you look at the eyes long enough, if you use good, solid karate kata training to learn and understand the idea that you are looking for the source of the thought that is driving the action that is the attack, then you see the human being, and you see the exact thought that is behind every action.
In the martial arts, no matter if it is Wing Chun or Kang Duk Won or aikido , there is no action without a thought behind it. Even a a fellow who is drunk behind the wheel of a careening car, as unconscious as he can be, is making decisions. And a fighter, even and especially a warrior of the octagon, honed to a technical perfection, is going to exude a stillness which you can perceive the thought within.
So in martial arts, even MMA, you must look into the eyes if you wish to see the decisions behind the action. You must look, and train yourself to keep looking, and not be distracted by anything that might possibly happen. This is the way to cultivate the sixth sense and intuition in the martial arts, and thus to survive real world combat…and even blindsiding.
