The Triad of Senses in Martial Systems: Hearing

Hearing, perception as to actual vs. presupposed vs. distortion of auditory content. What you need to actual hear vs. what may be presupposed in actual verbal content and the auditory distortion you will encounter when the adrenaline dump hits - these are some of the things a martial practitioner must remain aware of in training and in applying martial systems.

The same value in overcoming distortions in hearing as to overcoming sight distortions apply. What you do for scanning with the eyes along with breathing also reduce and control the dysfunctional hearing, the distractions and distortions.

Another off shoot of the hearing is balance as to the balance in our bodies when applying the fundamental principles of martial systems. The inner ear balance of the fluids are a primary contributor to the bodies balance. Sometimes quick movement of the head for a variety of reasons.

As we progress through the study of senses in martial systems the interconnectivity will become more apparent. Example is how sight and viewing objects contributes to balance by giving the ear and the fluid in the ear reference points contributing to balance and application. Orientation comes from the space relation of the inner ears fluids to the position of the head. This is how a person loses orientation in such cases where the body loses its connection to the Earth and the head is moving at some speed causing the ear to not adjust fast enough in relation to the eyes and the balance of the body. This is important and the practitioner must study this thoroughly.

How the ears and hearing promote better martial application comes from a thorough study of such sense application that provide the knowledge and experience, as can be attained in reality training as well as live experience, necessary to be aware of and understand the use of vision in martial training.

The connection of the other primary senses along with the training of the mind provide overall effectiveness in martial applications. The practitioner must remember that it is not the individual that counts but the cumulative as integrated into the "one" means of application.
