What Terrence is saying...

Besides static drills or unalive drills, Controlled Chi Sau.

You also atleast once a week need to fight hard. Like Bruce lee use to say in his books. You need to do some hard sparring. Whats the purpose of practicing a Martial Art with out actual Martial Combat. I mean Chi Sau teaches you sensitivity and many other things. But you start Chi Sau already in the clinch posistion. How will you fair against a boxer or kicker who is always moving trying to time his attack to gain entry an knock your head off.

You would have no experience with that. So you need to fight with people and get familiar with many different scenarios...

man I only asked about a video and its now a three page discussion of functionality.
No one uses fighting in their training. Everyone uses some aspect of a fight and ties to make it as real as possible. BJJ guys "roll", Boxing and mt spar, VT does chi sao etc. Each has had to make a set of theortical rules that change the exercise that they do. If you are saying that if you dont fight as part of your training then you cant fight. Then the only people that could say they can fight would be those that fight on the street all the time.
Im a strength and conditioning coach (with a emphasis on functional training)and it seems like people are just using lots of functional )catch phrases" without knowing what they are talking about.
