And looking at the idea that so many movement and martial schools place the "core" of movement in the gut, it's interesting not just because it's a physical center, but also because there's a different kind of brain in our gut.

The more we turn our studies from something you can see and think about into something we feel and sense, the more we're practicing an art directed from the gut.
