hmmm ok ""technique"" note for ya...
Why consider the blast as a way to open someone up to something bigger ????
Instead!
Why not at the same time as using this "blast", where there is obviously a LOT of energy expended, to open them up, also use it to provide the "power strike" ??
And why not also look at the "power strike" as the "blast" ?
Is it not also a great amount of energy expended like the "blast" ?
Same outcomes, different perceptions, less energy waste and quicker results!
Strike, defend, accept, deny forget about them... JUST DO IT!
