SYNCHRONIZE in self-defense is the actual physical coordination of power that facilitates a smaller, weaker defender to defend against a much larger, stronger opponent.
In any self-defense or fighting match common reason would say that the larger, and stronger opponent wins hands down, and in most scenarios this is absolutely true. Yet time and time again we see numerous YouTube videos where a seemingly outmatched defender defeats these Goliaths in short order.
Magic? No. Smoke and mirrors? No. Superior skill? Possibly, and yet the number one factor is SYNCHRONIZATION. Those that master this principle gain an incredible advantage actually as a gift from their attackers.
Unbelievable? Let’s look at a simple example of man versus machine. What if an average man or woman faces off against a car, standing in the middle of the road, feet squared and immovable as the car drives full speed into them. Even the strongest strongman in the world would be killed or at least hospitalized correct…? Not if they step out of the way…SYNCHRONIZE!
Additionally, SYNCHRONIZATION has proved itself in the bull ring (when they used to have bull fights). The matador would SYNCHRONIZE their motion with a bull weighing as much as a ton. The tiny little matador would in essence borrow the energy of the much larger, much stronger bull, and use this energy to the point of exhausting the ferocious beast, and well, “matador” means “killer” so you figure it out…
This SYNCHRONIZATION is the great equalizer. Actually the more SYNCHRONIZED any motion is the more powerful it becomes. It literally uses the motion, strength and power from the opposing force and “blends” it with the motion, multiplying the defender’s power exponentially.
In Life we SYNCHRONIZE all the time. We wouldn’t be alive if we didn’t. That being said, it’s by degrees and most of us prefer to fight. You see fighting is the opposite of SYNCHRONIZATION. “Not fighting” is the way we actually multiply power. Fighting decreases power. Always.
The other day my son was really upset about something his mom wasn’t saying to the neighbor. Turns out her cherry bush had been picked clean. My son thought it was her grandkids that did it. He was upset, she was upset, and he wanted someone to face off and tell them off. Fight on!
It was up to me to SYNCHRONIZE this fight ready tension by having an enrolling discussion with them both. My wife went over, had a conversation, and before you knew it the neighbor was over visiting and bringing treats. Power, cooperation and friendship maintained? Yes!
So the next time you really want to “power up” in any situation, think about SYNCHRONIZING. Do it first, do it fast and see. SYNCHRONIZE, is the power accelerator! SYNCHRONIZE!
