This class introduces the five senses (plus the sixth) in martial application, opening with Hanshi Juchnik's frustration at a society that produces glorified martial artists rather than thinking ones. The discussion covers visual plane, auditory, touch, smell, and taste, including how taste enters combat through adrenaline and stomach secretions read by Shiatsu and acupuncture practitioners. Eye training receives extended attention, with the eyes described as betrayers, the difference between tunnel vision and a neutral plane, the mistake of stepping back twice, the relationship between gait and visual plane, and pattern drills that teach the eyes to shift rather than glaze. Common training mistakes and their fighting implications close the session.
