I guess I would have to ask why focusing on movement/blending would put you in a vulnerable position? It would seem that you are free to work with movement and blending once you can somewhat reliably put yourself in a postion that doesn't leave you open.

So I guess I'd say do both. Be the way you need to be for the moment. Smarmy answer I know but the best I can come up with

Best,

Bronson
