If you have observed fights of some famous artists like IP MAN OR Bruce lee, use of “focus” is clear. Some of us might wonder what this FOCUS means.

When any Dfw Jiu Jitsu lays so much emphasis on the being like water, he/she is more likely to be influenced by Tao. In one of his verses he advises to like water.
