(from a recent conversation on Facebook)
Extensions afford us more opportunities to sharpen our sophisticated basics, identity master key movements, further connect our upper middle and lower case and bring all of it into further study of the Universal Pattern.
Also, continuing the technique is a great way to practice destroying the attacker’s foundation, which translates nicely into developing one’s sparring mindset. You can also use extensions to position the “body” or what’s left as an additional shield, trip hazard, distraction, when facing multi attackers.
