"We don't teach the direct use of force against force. We teach methods to allow a smaller, weaker person to defeat a larger, stronger opponent." Has anyone ever seen an art that didn't claim one or both of these? I'd actually like to see an art that bills itself as making it even easier for a larger, stronger person to defeat a smaller, possibly more skilled opponent. Maybe an art that teaches the use of force against force too, but in such a way as to not break anything, like when Wing Chun guys try to do it.
You should check out the article on my website called "Selling The Dream" - It kinda sums it up for me.... http://www.cea.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/ceaweb/art-dream.htm
