Things are not as simple as they seem and since people are lazy they learn things the easy way and go no further. If you ask them what it that means, “Attack him when he is not ready”, then ask how you do that, listen carefully and you may hear the word,”Duh”. There are many ways, some you may like and some that may not be for you. First let’s look at how the mind and body work together. The mind will protect what is the most sensitive and you might say the groin, which is not the top of the list, Jimmy figured it out since as he started to strike his lead hand moved toward his opponents eyes. I guarantee he will move or try to protect them, so he will never see the uppercut sliding up his chest to his throat. Let’s do one more, I learned this from a top magician, if you are directly in front of an opponent his mind considers you more of a threat compared off to a say 45 degree angle (same distance). Your lead leg (now referred to as blading), your hands are chest level while you talk so you have broken his distance and can hit or grab him any time I want. This is because there is action which causes reaction and since you have eliminated his defences, you can have him when you want IF your first attack is successful. Jimmy did not care about MMA, the UFC, combat sports, even forms which students wanted to learn, he wanted you to be able to protect your self in the few hours a week he spent with you. He gave you the tools (including the element) you can do it if you are smart enough.
I think I will add a #3 for next time because as it is so important and there is more I would like to say.
