By practicing and teaching the art of Aikido
a soft focus is necessary to take in your entire opponent especially during multiple attack training in the dojo when there is the possibility of being attacked by 4 or more students simultaneously. I find that a soft focus is quite natural to me seeing that I am in a constant soft focus throughout my waking hours. I even notice that while driving down the interstate while looking further down the road, I'm able to see down the road plus traffic in both side mirrors and rear view mirror at the same time.
