Structuring for martial arts teaches both positive structuring for yourself and negatively the structuring of your opponent. Using examples from Aiki, Shotokan, Isshin, Uechi, Kempo, and Takeshin Karate, Kyoshi Annesi details various ways to test your own stability and use your opponent’s stability to make him uncomfortably immobile. Even the most traditional martial artists, who pride themselves on good form, speed and power, often lack an understanding of the niceties of structure. Those that know how to make themselves stable often do not consider the advantages of making their opponents stable to the point of helplessness, whether for an instant or for a uncomfortable (for them) duration.
