Wrong thread buddy. That's the other one!
And no...it doesn't teach that. The intent of the dummy (as you'd see in the other thread) is not to hit it as fast as possible, or as hard as possible, but to practice the movements focusing on energy projection, full body structure and usage, and the like.
It has nothing to do with linking punches (with no body behind it).
"I don't know if anyone is known with the art of "sitting on your couch" here, but in my eyes it is also to be a martial art.
It is the art of avoiding dangerous situations. It helps you to avoid a dangerous situation by not actually being there. So lets say there is a dangerous situation going on somewhere other than your couch. You are safely seated on your couch so you have in a nutshell "difused" the situation."

Right so an inanimate object (not teachers) is somehow responsible for making folks use bad mechanics...when it is quite possible to use correct mechanics on the bloody thing..
That's like saying a heavy bag dictates how you hit it, with what mechanics and tools..
Eggbeater mechanics are arm punches, without body connection and connected mass and power... There is nothing stopping anyone from using body power on the dummy, which is what you are supposed to use.

Supposedly you train, right? If you train, you should have a network of martial arts friends, acquaintances and sparring buddies. Go through that network and it should be pretty easy to find people who want to do this.
And then there's Victor. He's got a school already. Why he doesn't have his people out there testing his ideas is beyond me.

It is extremely hard to find folks to train with... Apparently Paul sees this.. (let alone budding UFC candidates, which even the big name teachers don't have)
I even put an ad on the flippin net to find more..
I am hoping to join a BJJ school later this year, IME when you're in a school it's much easier to find training partners..
Plans to take over the world with VT will have to wait...

Right and I wouldn't agree at all... It's simply that you haven't been taught or haven't seen good VT mechanics IMO.
There is more than one kind of VT strike, not all are the same power.. Nevertheless, they can generate lots of power when done correctly..
Again, it's the crazy eggbeaters that folks associate with VT striking.
