Welcome to this Advanced Insights section of the NKS web site!
Over time we would like to grow this section to include ongoing additions of insights by senior instructors, both from within the NKS and from outside. Each insight is a freeform, ad hoc lesson on a topic of interest to the instructor. For example, they can be What-If stage or Formulation stage insights into techniques, explanations of fighting principles, tips on exercise habits, or anything else.
If you would like to submit your insights for possible inclusion, email us at the address at the bottom right of the screen. Also email us if you have questions that you would like answered.
