Two of your most important weapons cannot be held in your hands

You can practice day and night to sharpen your skills and still never reach your full potential. In AK, I like to focus on using your mind and understanding your environment. Sharpening these weapons and synchronizing them, allow you to gain an advantage over most opponents. So always keep your mind sharp and open to new avenues of information and be aware of your surroundings..

Here are a couple of videos to give you an example of this. The first, is a scene from Rumble in the Bronx starring Jackie Chan, who exemplifies using your environment to the fullest. The second is a scene from The Protector starring Tony Jaa. In this scene, his Muay Thai style, which is a powerful and bruising style in itself, is no match for his opponent's great size and tactics. He must figure out a way to gain an advantage.
