Eye Contact and Focus: Accuracy in the martial arts is a crucial skill to develop. It is essential for self-defense techniques to be effective. The black belt attributes of eye contact and focus have three aspects that receive special attention in our training. The first is directional, keeping eye contact on the target even when it or you are moving. The second is target training which is concentrating your aim on a precise area or point. The third aspect is penetration or aiming beyond the target to strike with greater force.
