PIVOTAL-POINTS: How things move!
\nKim was a little surprised when Su grabbed her sweater and pushed hard toward the locker room wall. However, her reaction was immediate and effective. Just as Su pushed, even before her hand could get a solid grip, Kim moved gracefully accommodating her energy, exerted on the PIVOTAL-POINT of her shoulder, and propelled Su in a tight circle, gently guiding her to the ground with the aide of Su\u2019s PIVOTAL-POINTS located in her shoulder, elbow and wrist.
\nKim was all at once calm, and grateful for motion she\u2019d learned at her dojang in Taejon South Korea. This motion was called HAPKIDO, or \u201cThe Way of Coordinated Power.\u201d Confidently she had guided Su\u2019s PIVOTAL-POINTS to a neutral position, her firm and non-threatening voice simultaneously saying, \u201cIt\u2019s okay, I\u2019ve got you\u2026someone get a teacher, just calm down and I\u2019ll let you up.\u201d
\nPIVOTAL-POINTS like shoulders, hips, knees and wrist joints are how we move as humans. In self-defense we know that if we want something to move, or not move, we must use these motion accommodating PIVOTAL-POINTS.
\nIn life there are always PIVOTAL-POINTS. They may be a person, conversation, or meeting. It is here where all motion happens. The definition of \u201cpivotal point\u201d according to Google is: \u201cA pivotal role, point, or figure in something\u2026that is very important and affects the success of that thing.\u201d Our definition of PIVOTAL-POINT is where potential movement exists.
\nThink about it..In life, or even business, if we have the wrong people in the right meeting, or the right people in the wrong meeting, nothing has potential to move. There is no PIVOTAL-POINT present, and without extreme pressure, or breaking nothing will move.
\nIn contrast, having the right people, in the right meeting, and having the conversation allows things to move with more ease and less resistance. PIVOTAL-POINTS accomplish great things with less energy.
\nLook for PIVOTAL-POINTS in everything you do and see. PIVOTAL-POINTS are where everything moves. PIVOTAL-POINTS.
