The word “Focus” is often used in the Martial Arts to describe a more “mystical” dimension as we saw in the Karate Kid movie and in David Carradine’s Kung Fu movies set in the 70’s. “Focus Grasshopper” the Master would insist as young Carradine explored the multi faceted dimensions of the ancient Chinese art. Set in the scenes of mountainous terrain where this young devotee sought to reach the enlightened state that the Martial Arts can deliver, his Master’s theme for training was often targetted at his apprentice learning how his body alone could not deliver excellence in his Martial Arts training and that his mind needed to be engaged in every physical endeavour.
