Hehe--and now I get caught without it written up in a coherent form, 
but rather scattered in various places.  So I can't quite be my 
normal punctual self, having other urgent and fun things to do...but 
I promise I'll post it when I get it together.  Just not this week.  
But the basic idea comes from my own going on five years now study of 
aikido, involving problems like how do you relax (but not go limp and 
lifeless), how do you teach things that are at base deeply intuitive 
(hint: sink or swim is the absolutely *slowest* way to do it and the 
least ultimately effectual), and the realization that a very 
particular kind of 'relaxation' is actually the best way to resist 
force.
