I just spent a little time reading some old threads and realize how much fun KFMO was along with being informative.
Thanks Gene and I hope you're doing well.:)

Well, like with most things, it depends. You can thrust with a slashing weapon but doing so may put you at a positional disadvantage. If I have say two guys with bayonets/spears defending in a...
Holy smokes, this thread is still going on?:eek::D
Reviving a classic Gene!
And to sound a little crazy, if you're not fighting why keep your fighting edge?
Hope things work out for you MK.
Rory is pretty cool. Nice guy that doesn't flip out if you disagree with him.
But why do karate school owners feel that they have to introduce themselves as "sensei" your name here?
The part that's missing is Huerta decking the creep. You see them square up but then nothing until the big guy is on the ground.

OK, I'll admit that I like Thorton's idea of training, I even like that he's preaching to the JKD folks, but when I hear these guys having theories that's where you lose me.
But, I'll bite. What...
Finesse? I've done a lot of one step sparring and still use a variation of it still for beginners and for training some SD situations, but using it to develop finesse? I don't see it.
WTF TKD is a completely modern sport where the true sports based practitioners can kick a well and often better than most out there. I've played with the good ones and came away very impressed by...
In what fantasy world would that happen? When did BL actually fight anyone professionally, point or otherwise.
Oooooooo.:eek: Look, I found the actual footage of it.

But if we're looking for apocryphal stories there's this one.
Maybe the man himself...

Wow, that's 360 throws!:eek:
Can we please ban the ridiculous use of the word "aliveness". Please?
Training without a specific outcome as a goal is training for trainings sake. If you're looking to be a kata champ then your...
I'm all for not getting injured but I don't think you can approach training for a dangerous high risk activity with safety first in the training. It has to be there but if the training is too safe...
I just wanted to hear what Thorton's definition is of Aliveness. The good news is by his definition I train in an alive manner. Differently, but my training meets his criteria. It also doesn't seem...
That's one of the "ranges" I never really understood. good riddance to it.

I just want to be sure I understand you, are you saying that you and your partner are always using the timing, energy and motion to try to hit each other that you would in a real fight? Are you...
The very fact that something is required takes some of the aliveness out of the drill. What defines an uncooperative opponent? What is real resistance like you would find in a fight mean?
"Find...
Many people I see using it don't really describe it well, which means they may not actually understand it either. Or they may just understand the concept in regards to their view of the world.

Thanks 7. I think there's more to training in what folks call alive than that. At least from the way I see things and especially if someone is trying to train self defense. Besides resistance I think...
Hey 7*,
Gotta ask what live training is to you.
You'd be surprised by how many people can't easily do something to injure another person.
