There is a quote from a Mantis sifu, or at least it was on the web site, that goes ,"The center must be hidden in a blur of movement like a dragon swimming in a cloud."
I can hide my center by changing a stance from left to right, change from one stance into another completely different stance, by changing elevations of my stance. Such can help me remain on them offensely, protect myself in defense, set up or complete throws. Those are examples of movements I can do.
I can hide my center by hitting, striking the opponent so that they're not looking at me but are looking at the ground, the ceiling, or by gettting them to blink/close their eyes. So my center can be hidden by doing something to them.
What do you think about that initial idea?
