To Know you opponent is to know yourself
Hi Red5
Exactly.
I've never tried to 'learn' another art, but spend a lot of time sparring and 'Exchanging methods' with friends from outside WC.
If you've seen it, or felt it you can have a better handle on how to beat it.
I wouldn't try to out kick a Thai boxer or out grapple a grappler.
That is to play his game
Also,as has been stated above, I don't have the time to 'learn' another system and I'm not good enough to stop practicing the one I have.
IMHO cross training isn't a buffet where you pick and choose bits of each system.
Thats why the Gracies are so good at what they do.
They have learned to use what they have to it's maximum potential.
WC works for me and I'm happy with MY progress.
It's all about the individual not the system.
