I`m really sorry. XD I mean to ask how to just learn from nature how to fight instead of getting a teacher or instruction book on it.

Cats throw a perfect boxing hook. the motion of the arm is identical. It's almost straight until the last second and the boom it hooks out and claws in. Nature isn't really going to teach you maneuvers, but body mechanics and physics are going to teach you power and leverage. You still need a partner, but just wrestling and sparing with someone without instruction will make you a better fighter. Marines boot camp and hand to hand training in the forties was basically beating the ******** out of one another until you got good at it.

I would say it's possible, though I'm still not sure as to what you mean from learning from nature. I would just say that it would prove difficult if you were to do this alone. Besides a teacher or instructor that would have a wealth of knowledge that you could draw from, having a partner would also help in having another perspective, as well as a way to try things out with.

My Kittens were drilling their inverted guards the other day ... Made me so proud ..

baka_boy1221 River of Time What are good methods of observation and idealism to make nature your teacher? I think I know what you are asking ... but I'm still confused on the wording ...? I believe the question pertains to ways of observing nature in order to formulate martial systems based on those observations. This concept is similar to all of the apocryphal stories of Asian martial arts systems (Taijiquan invented after a monk watched a snake and a crane fight, that sort of thing.) I guess the key would lie in the goal. You have to observe the phenomenon, then ask yourself what its purpose is in the direction that you are heading. To use an example, let us suppose that there is a willow tree in your front yard. You observe the tree, noting the way that it bends in stiff wind rather than breaks because it is too firm. Noting this, you apply this to martial motion and philosophy (the old standby that it is better to bend and move with your opponent rather than confronting them directly.) It's a very slow methodology, and falls loosely in the same category as learning martial arts from a book or DVD. That is to say, it can be done but it will take a much much much longer time to accomplish.

River of Time What are good methods of observation and idealism to make nature your teacher? I get what chu mean bro, like Bodhidharma (erm, however you spell it). He taught the Chinese Monks Kung Fu as he studied off of animals. (sorry about being more specific Quiet way. Quiet Way is right though. Long and tedious. Like creating a new style of martial art (on bucket list).

I am never too direct with people, even in a conversation. XD If I follow my higher dreams, then I would take the road that lies out of everyone else's way. I mean to go into a secluded area, hopefully with a few others with the same hopes as I, then study as I reap nature's benefits. Seems a bit daoist, but how sound of an idea would that be for later?
In the meantime, I will try to continue with what I`m doing, and try to make more observations this way. ^^

Learn your limits, achieve your potentiality. Know your body more than anything else. Then master the art of imitating nature. Spar. Get a partner and go at it. Frequently. Learn how others may react to your style, and how to react to theirs. It's best to train with multiple people, overall.

I have a little brother and sometimes we play with wooden swords and such, but I can't really convince him to do this with me. XD I mean, he's a prepper for alot of things, but we try not to use fighting on eachother.

trial and error.
it's a much faster process with an instructor though.
nothing beats a good teacher.

I would agree, but I`m not too sure about how many teachers live by me, or if I am not scarred by the memories of the style. x3 Ha, just scarred by weird incidents on the mat.
