how to be like water?

I do not have much (3 years) martial arts training, but I have more (7 years) of teaching others sports in a class setting.  My tip would be to demonstrate the theory of being like water by adapting your class to suit the students you see in front of you.  A few times I have heard other teachers saying 'how do you get them to do what you tell them to?' my answer would be to change what you do!  Hope that is in alignment with the water theory you hope to follow.  Yes I know that throws lesson plans out the virtual window but we must challenge ourselves with new things.  Good luck

since you have no eyes why am i answering?  hmmm, anyway take a deep breath before you go in water.  how's yr brain?  can u remember 2 things?  (a) behind you is the way you've come, not the river, the other side is obviously the opposite way from which you've come; go that way.  (b) u will be able to tell if yr underwater, you'll want to generally go up.  remember the deep breath?  that air is now in yr lungs (barring sucking chest wounds), air floats, so chest is up, legs generally down.  fresh air is up, go that way.  if you still got stubs, or anything like feet, kick them puppies as hard as you can, and hope u don't get turned around in mid-stream.\n\nand don't panic, the boys from "The Home" are already out looking for you.  Listen is that them at the door now?

this might sound a little weird but it works for me...\n\nget a full cup of water.. warm or cold.. however you like it..now this is where it gets weird.. and mabe confusing.. but i'll do my best to explain.. bend over like you are trying to touch your toes.. and and start drinking the water.. usually when you drink a cup of water standing up the top of the cup touching your nose inbetween your eyes.. but drinking it upside down.. the top of the cup should be under your chin.. and dont bend over too much because the water might go up your nose.. take small gulps at a time.. do it until you drink it all.. then stand up straight and see if it goes away..\n\nor another way to explain it is.. instead of putting your lips to the edge of the cup closest to you (how you normally drink from a cup).. you put it on the side farthest away from you (opposite of usually put your mouth to drink).. and bend over slowing til you could get the water to reach your mouth and start taking small gulps.. \n\ni hope this helps.. cuz it works for me..!!

wow! you are not the sharpest knife in the drawer. Are you trying to kill your self. This makes no sense.\nOh, I am sorry, the answer is: eat one bag of cement and drink 8 gallons of water. You will not retain the water but you will reach your desired weight and then some.

People by nature "like to be liked". Being liked is a compliment everyone wants to hear. so just go out and say what you feel. You may start by saying..."hey you're cool to be with." "There are only a few people that I feel at ease when I'm with, one of them is you." "Seems to me we both like the same things." you can always add "what do you think?" just to test and see if she feels the same way. Just take it slow. If you put a frog in boiling water, it will jump out of the pan as soon as you drop it, but if you put it in cold water and gradually boil it, the frog will not notice this until it is too late.

You need 'in water' Tai Chi.... Badly, my friend.\nOr even plain Tai Chi.\nThen, work your way up to gentle swimming.\nThink of the pool as your best friend!\nof course, professional advice is best.

first, tie your hair up in a braid, and then put a shower cap on your head. then put the swim cap over it. your hair will only get a little wet but should stay mostly dry. (sounds crazy but it works)

You'll be surprised later from what you've learned.  Never too old to learn more about being "comfortable" in and around water.\nClassmates younger?  Get a friend to join you, or ignore them...they'll adore you for it!  Show no fear, have courage, and you'll be their idol!!

the very fundamental: the human body floats in the water, try this yourself by staying calm (and don't cheat by stepping on the bottom! lol). then slowly try to move your hands and feet in order to push your body towards one direction. Needs a tiny bit of practice but you'll get it. It's very easy! good luck!
