About how to not acquiesce in critical moments in Kamalayan practice
I believe one of the main struggles we face when practicing Kamalayan is that we tend to acquiesce in critical moments, especially when our arm is being grabbed by our partner. By trying not to spike, which would make the exercise counterproductive, we end up not resisting enough. A very good video in which I understood a little bit better about how to react in situations like this is the "A Basic Explanation of Kamalayan" video of the "Mastering Disarming & Counter-Disarming" course. From what I understood, speeding up and twisting our hand to get out of the grip would not be considered spiking because it was a necessary action to avoid being put into a Checkmate situation. Am I reading this correctly Guru
? Should we always be trying to avoid being grabbed? Or are there situations in which allowing the partner to grab our arm would be beneficial to us, trying to gain an advantage in time? Any suggestions on how we can improve our awareness to break the habit of acquiescing so much?
