Re: Does your martial awareness have limits?

martial awareness has no limits. You should have felt the ripples in the ki around you long before he launched his attack.
All is know is that those ripples give me "ki-sickness"...ok...I appologize for that one.

Ok seriously. Why on earth would any training give you precognitive or extra sensory abilities? If someone wants to jump you from behind when you're not looking - you're gonna get jumped. Particularly when you're not even in a yellow state of alert.
Well, I certainly agree ESP isn't necessarily a side-effect of training, but I do think we can learn to pick up on sublte body-language changes, and the like, and then to react to them automatically. I mean, we all hear stories of some crazy stuff, but I'm inclined to think most, if not all, of that is simply a case of some seriously well-tuned senses...and maybe even a little bit of luck.

Gambarimashyo!
