Components of Bujutsu

I have thinking recently that there are many components that I need to work on in bujutsu. First there is posture; how I align my body with gravity and increase the efficiency which I can load weight into my body. This is part alone is a massive undertaking.
Then there is what I would call how to bridge and interact with your opponent. Bridging is involved in free grappling standing and ground as well as striking. This is the ability to engage your opponent in a bujutsu way! In striking it means not telegraphing, moving smoothly between contact and striking, keeping the energy of movement smooth and constant as you generate strike after strike. Keeping the energy flowing so that you don't get tired and keep using your body movement efficiently to generate strikes. In grappling or standing free I need to learn how to contact my opponent without them knowing where I am going to generate power from and when. Then I have to have smooth and constant movement when I initiate my move so that the opponent doesn't react until it's too late. I have to make sure that each of component parts taking part in the movement move evenly with the equal same amount of power used by each part without one part overpowering the other parts.
Finally there is the mental/mind part and the spirit part and the heart of bujutsu. I need to be calm, flexible and able to adjust to any situation I find myself in. It is easier to keep your posture and connection inan controlled environment, but then if you throw a live opponent into the mix you have a altogether situation. How to keep calm and act objectively. I have fought in many competition fights and it is hard to keep the objectivity which is so essential to bujutsu. Trust me many people think they can do this and that, but when the reality of a aggressive opponent faces you then each and everyone of is has to ask ourselves some serious questions.
This brings me onto the spirit!!!
I need the spirit for the fight, that never quit attitude, with a calm objective mind, the passion and heat and the cold objective mind must co-exist in the spirit for true Bujutsu to materialise.
From True Bujutsu I must also have a kind open and loving heart. The biggest battles are fought with myself not with any opponents. That is the true value of training and bujutsu the development of my heart - which I must make bigger, more open and more compassionate. I think this is the true gift of bujutsu and the true key to bujutsu.
