2. Mind-Body Synchronisation
3. Guidance and Mentorship

The Power of Visualisation and Targeting
In addition to the above secrets, Jurus training incorporates the practice of visualisation, where you mentally see the body in front of you and target specific body parts. This visualisation enhances your precision, enabling you to strike with accuracy and effectiveness.
This skill not only applies to martial arts but can also help you in improving focus and goal achievement in your everyday life.
The Importance of Timing and Rhythm
Timing and rhythm are vital aspects of Jurus. Learning to execute movements with impeccable timing and rhythm enhances the fluidity and grace of your forms.
This skill is akin to mastering the art of timing in life – knowing when to act and when to wait, when to accelerate and when to pause.

The discipline, precision, mental fortitude, and synchronisation cultivated through Jurus will extend into all facets of your life.
