Story Booth: Andreas Nussbaumer

Andreasnussbaumer: I have a story. We need to go back 35 years. At that time, I was, of course, very young. I was about 20.

I did a lot of competitions in Austria. I was the number one in Austria. And I was on an international training. It was with Hidetaka Nishiyama.

He was on top of the pyramid. He was the number one. Very, very old. I don't know how old he was, he was about 75 at that time.

A lot of people, 500 fighters, were there, taught by this Hidetaka Nishiyama. And he called me to come out to him to show something. I'm the number one in Austria. I'm strong, I'm fast, I'm gonna show you how this card works.

It was so funny, because he was smaller than me, he was so thin, he was just an old man. And I came to him, and he said, any attack. So he said, do what you want, any attack? And he was not standing like this, he was standing like...

Any attack? Any attack. And I thought, this guy is laughing at me! I'm gonna show him.

So, I thought, what can I do? And I decided to attack with my foot. Maigeri, the fastest way, hard kick. And in this moment, when my leg started his journey, he just made this...

He only touched, with the tip of his finger, he only touched my knee. And it felt like 1,000 volts of electricity went through my body. It was such a hard feeling for me, really, I didn't know what to do. I was totally stunned.

Because even his brain, his finger knew what to do before my leg knew what to do. And I thought, okay. I'm gonna do it. Much better now, because the leg is, of course, its leg is bigger, it's longer, it takes more time.

Haha, I'm gonna do it with my hand now. Punch. Direct punch. Decided direct punch.

And the same thing happened. Before I started 1mm with my fist, he just touched it, and it was the same feeling. And that was a very hard lesson for me, and I thought about it, I don't know, about 8 weeks ago, again. It's a long time ago, but I explained somebody about Kerrete.

And the circle now to this animal story is that animals, for example, these horses. I'm not quite sure, I read it on your page also. They have this feeling about us. They can read us.

Andreasnussbaumer: Without looking at us, they can feel us. And Hidetaka Nishiyama did this also. He read my body, and read it in an electricity way, I think, because he wasn't able to see it. You cannot see it so fast.

Andreasnussbaumer: He was able to read it. And this is what animals do with us, and what I learn. Andreasnussbaumer: Bit by bit, also with the animals. To read them without watching them with the eyes, just experience the whole individual.
