Pong Lai, Dachengdao...
I don't think you understand what I'm saying. I am saying this: "it takes too long to adjust the whole body to deflect/avoid a barrage of quick punches. maybe you can avoid the first one, but not the others. Since you don't know from where the 1st, 2nd, 3rd attack is coming from beforehand (as you do in a drill that I've been hearing so much about), you have to actually observe and react, while the other guy is just firing off a combination as fast as he can."
Let me put it another way (btw, I do understand the concept of whole-body-movement): an arm moves faster than the whole body. If you do whole-body-movement, than the time it takes to change stance / twist body becomes the bottleneck in terms of speed.
Do you actually claim to have that ability, Pong Lai, or are you just defending the theory of mantis fighting?
