Zanshin recap

This past month I have written a host of articles on the topic of zanshin in martial arts. Zanshin is kind of a loose, vague concept that has something to do with awareness and something to do with connectedness. But despite being hard to get a firm handle on, zanshin is a critical part of martial arts. Following are links to my most recent thoughts on zanshin.

• A film to introduce the concept
• Defining zanshin
• Zanshin, mushin, and kime
• Something that is NOT zanshin
• Zanshin is equanimity
• Zanshin is integrity
• Zanshin is the positive space in your life
• Learning zanshin by falling as a group
• Where to stand after a technique
• Pay attention to your situation
• Zanshin for uke
• Zanshin is active noise reduction
• Attack Proof zanshin
