One of the things I often talk about for power and speed in CoreForce Energy is Relaxed Lightning. The superiority of this kind of thinking in relating it to physical movement was so apparent in this past weekend's UFC 84 "ill will" showdown here in Las Vegas. Two fighters in particular seemed to move with ease, grace, powerful strength, and what I call Relaxed Lightning. Two words that seem like they don't go together. Yet, two words when you combine them are like bringing the two parts together to make TNT.

The other two fighters that opposed them fought in the more traditional way using muscular strength. As impressive as that muscular strength and speed was, it was sadly slower than their opponents who were supple, fluid and elusive. When these two Relaxed Lightning fighter struck, they struck like a thunderbolt out of nowhere catching their opponents by surprise almost every time. They were in and out, before the others could react many times even with their Incredible speed.

It seemed as if the two fighters were in two different time zones - two different planes of reality. The fighters who were relaxed fought as if they had all the time in the world and saw ahead of time - in slow motion. They were "elusive" - a word that was used many times throughout these matches.

But, in reality when you're relaxed and yet are measuring your speed to a higher source of power such as "ligthning strikes", why wouldn't you be incredibly fast and yet have all the time in the world? When all your force is used in the thunderbolt that only lasts for mere milleseconds instead of guarding, squeezing, and holding a "figthing stance" with muscular tension and then trying to explode with that same muscular tension that's holding you back, you're going to be be saving energy and using it only when necessary.

The problem that most people have when they know they're using too much "muscle", they try to relax - going too far to the other side where they forget that what controls extreme and fast contraction of muscles is electricity.

In CoreForce Energy http://www.coreforceenergy.com, it's not just the generation of force that makes you strong, but the understanding of how to create relaxation of both body and mind that's still filled with explosive energy instead of sluggish power from everything being shut off from the relaxation. That's why I spend so much time teaching the particular distinctions that make them unique.

When your brain holds powerful pictures evoking phrases such as "Relaxed Lightning" or "Sting Like a Bee" as something to measure up to in physical movement, your body ends up moving like the very things that seem impossible to someone else who thinks we can only move like humans.

When you think of yourself and strong, muscular, fast, you will always be slow in comparison to electricity or that quick flash bang of a thunderbolt. That's why we always need to try to measure up to things outside of ourselves trying to emulate things and attributes much greater and richer in qualities than ourselves. In doing so, we bring ourselves to higher levels.

If you watch the flight replays of B J Penn and Lyoto Machida striking, you will see what I'm talking about in regards to Relaxed Lightning. Their opponents, Sean Sherk and Tito Ortiz respectively, who were indeed in incredible condition and impressively fast always seemed to be slow, late, and most often off target in comparison. Their reach was short and held back with muscular tension. Many will look at Ortiz shaking his hands out as being frustration from the elusive moves of Machida. But if you watch closely, you'll see that he's trying to get the cramps out - while Machida dances around him hardly out of breath it seems exuding energy instead of muscular exhaustion.

If you want speed and strength, hold yourself to a higher standard. Think of Relaxed Lightning.

If you want to take this kind of thinking to the next level both mentally and physically, this is where the CoreForce Energy course of 9 DVD and the bonus phone calls that comes with it will take you to your power zenith in strength and speed and mental focus. http://www.coreforceenergy.com
