I think the answer is always 'Aliveness' although Chris Tarrent may think otherwise. Once you experience timing, motion and pressure, no one can lie to you.
Agreed. I'd take aliveness in a limited range over compliant training in many different ranges any day of the week.
The moral of the story is, who cares where fights end up? If you're interested in self defense, you should train in as many different situations and for as many different eventualities as possible. That way, you're more likely to be prepared for whatever actually happens, rather than for where fights "usually end up." Seems like we all agree now . So the conclusion is cross-training, not in mcdojo's. I think the answer is always 'Aliveness' although Chris Tarrent may think otherwise. Once you experience timing, motion and pressure, no one can lie to you. Are we all good now? No one has anything else to add? -Kraen
