SYNERGIZE!
SYNERGIZE!\n\nShe came out of nowhere screaming something incoherent and Anna could feel the larger woman\u2019s momentum as she rushed into her grabbing with both hands at her blouse. Anna had luckily done this before in her HAPKIDO training. She audibly said, \u201cSYNERGIZE ,\u201d as she moved with her new friend in what might have appeared to be a new age dance move.\n\nThe motion itself was enough, and her new found \u201cdance partner from hell\u201d swung right past her. Perhaps she was less upset than she thought, she recognized her mistake, or maybe knew instinctually that Anna was not someone to mess with as she calmed down almost immediately. \n\nWithin seconds Anna was actually consoling the obviously upset woman with her soothing voice, as the distraught woman sobbed into her hands, and the world was right again. \n\nSYNERGY is sometimes overused as a pop, business success, team term. You know, the kind of stuff you hear just before your business team does the \u201cfall back and trust catch\u201d exercise. \n\nIn self-defense and in life, or Life Defense, SYNERGY is a very real thing. In fact if you don\u2019t SYNERGIZE with a larger, stronger, or faster opponent, you\u2019ll probably suffer assault, injury and perhaps death. \n\nEnergy is just energy. In the simplest of HAPKIDO and Aikido terms, \u201cUse the energy that is given you.\u201d In life look for ways to use even the energy of your opponent, or opposition to multiply your power and improve your outcome\u2026.
