The reciprocal of Mushin is kime, i.e., focus so sharp that you lengthen your line in relation to your adversary. It is a focus that is aware of things like situational awareness, environmental awareness and most of all personal awareness. The type of awareness that provides the time and distance necessary to apply all aspects of self-defense starting way before any physical conflict begins, i.e., by seeing the socio-emotional monkey kicking it into high gear.
It is such a focus that you apply your tactics and strategies faster and instinctively remaining in the upper half of the loop (OODA) while the adversary is trying to catch up stuck in the lower half. This type of focus is not just about the physical bur rather a focus that provides recognition of the self when it runs into the monkey. It is that type of focus that allows us to separate the socio-emotional monkey that leads to acting outside the self-defense square. It is also the focus that can utilize the human, monkey and lizard in a positive, reliable and instinctive manner before physical conflict but also during and after should the physical be required.
The type of focus that is fluid in nature allowing you to remain in a mind uncluttered, unfettered, and focused while remaining responsive, alert, and aware when in chaos and under the influences of the bodies chemical dump from the encounter. To achieve total kime remember that the principles of proper methods become critical; it must be singularly powerful and complete.
