We are still talking about elements of development.

Does anyone think they have a cohesive way of teaching that can take a student from incompetence to competence or from armchair to in the ring...

Jesper

That becomes crippling like trying to figure out and teach every technique that can be used in a possible situation.

There is a baseline of technique and tactics that everyone can learn...

Everything I have read on developing athletes goes with what you both said. Developing athletes have to be tailored to the student. I agree.

If it was fighting we can show the techniques, let...

I agree most people don't spar or do a bad job at it. But my question around development of skills, attributes and tactics.

You are wrong about it all coming from playing the game if we are...

So you use a heavy bag for attribute development. Is that all you use it for?

I don't even know what to name the thread...

We all seem to disagree and talk past each other on technique and application. To use the analogy of football we all have different players,...

Theo: Dead weight lifting uses the whole muscle chain, the weight starts from a static "dead" position. Where as the Squat first compresses structure setting up the drive back to starting. Bench is...

Spencer,

I don't think you gain anything from gaining it that way. 5 element theory is relevant in acumoxa theory but it takes years to understand it and while not science as T pointed out it is...

Ball throwing is a good example of both what Terence and Hendrick are talking about.

I see theory and application being discussed. And I have been reading about sports training theory and some of...

Wing Chun works on the ground :P

Just not the way most people think it does... Of course not everyone uses their body the way I do but let me say Roy Harris JJ is to BJJ as Robert Chu Structure...

Jim now your just being silly and argumentative.

Argue with someone who likes that kind of drama.

Jim

When I pivot in the forms there is the intent to crush into and compress the opponents structure. What most people do in the form and in application is not that. Besides the forms are not the...

T is correct.

If you catch with a Bong - you will get destroyed

In my opinion it is even worse to pivot with a bong.

Using bong in this way makes it a 2 beat technique like block then...

I think I saw Tony Soprano and Big Pu$$y

Don't think you meant science:

the intellectual and practical activity encompassing the systematic study of the structure and behavior of the physical and natural world through observation and...

It is great to spar with. Against single weapons it really does quick work of attacking and slicing at the same time.

I still think longer weapons have an advantage but I believe a good level of...

Hendrick

What you posted was SICK! And by that you really, for the first time, posted something that was clear and concise and made sense.

I am sorry others aren't getting it but what the...

This is great fun. I love it except for all the hand play. Not a WCK trait in my opinion. But a lot of fun to watch. Kind of like a Jackie fight scene.

I like how he switches back and forth between broken English and a funny British accent.

Dave

Just like there is an general misunderstanding of the difference between alignment and structure. I think there is a misunderstanding about the Hand - Body/ Body - Hand thing.
It has less to do...

Hendrick,

I would love to come up to S.F. and visit my Kung Fu uncle. Maybe we could plan something for the first or second week in November?

I agree with you in most respects but in the pictures you posted there is one killing and another being killed.

In the Olympic matches I watched on Youtube, there were near...

Shaw

He isn't ruining anyone's reputation. He is calling for people to train hard and build their own martial legacy instead of holding on to what their Sifu's Sifu's Sifu did.

Shaw

Martial Arts, except in more recent time has been about fighting dissimilar styles.
Can A BJD user defeat a saber or other similar sword?

Dave

Thanks Eric

I really don't care how anyone forms the body structure.
Shift on your toe or heel - I don't care
Have body structure or not - I don't care
Straight or Side body - I don't care ...
