Or maybe it was just his preferrence to stay there. All this bickering IMO stil doesn't prove the mirrored stance is right or wrong... And not trying to troll by saying this.
I assume that Sifu Ali...

I totally hear what you are saying here. IMO, the 'flaw' I see in the video still stands - the guy in the blue scrubs did not even affect Ali's center, nor his structure, nore take away his space (in...

"clinch, clinch, clinch"



I call that the "can't beat'em join'em" approach :)

While we don't call it 'blind side strategy', nor do I do it like the first video that was posted, HFY also fights in a match/mirrored alignment (as well as crossed stance, no preference, take what...

heh, I care :)

Regardless of any intentions anyone here might ASSUME about another - for a while, Ali did provoke some interesting discussions on this forum. Something that's VERY rare around here...

Vic, I hear what you are saying and agree with it. But from what I've seen this isn't demonstrated in the videos (neither by GM WC nor Sifu Redmond or yours from what I recall). And I'm not passing...

What do you look for and why/how has it...

haha, you aren't training hard enough if there isn't at least a little blood once in a while :) Now, if he's stepping to the outside while trying to do those things, it goes against WC principles as...

I agree with this 100% - you are speaking the words I am trying too! (but maybe from a different POV) From watching the video, I feel the attacker gives up this position when he side steps as he...

I hear what you are saying. IMO, you set up this line, even ever so slightly/subtly prior to contact. If you 'just mirror' in pure sense (exact matching as if looking in a mirror) it gives no pre...

Interesting post Ali!

I think your theories are valid (mirroring is bad) - in the context of the video you provided. But I do not believe they are valid outside the video. IMO, both the mirrored...
