Personally I think these are just excuses. Traditionally the top fighters were the tigers of wu lin because they fought constantly.
In the modern age we cannot engage in street fights all the time.
But there is always the ring to apply our techniques, whether it is Muaythai, Sanda, MMA, Kyokushinkai (and offshoots), shootfighting, etc.... some have big boxing gloves and some have small gloves.
And if you want no gloves I'm sure you can find people who can accommodate you! But trying to say that you teach "effective, practical material" when someone doesn't have actual fighting experience is also a lie, in my opinion.
thoughts?
PS - looks like Black Taoist was helping training this guy for his fight.
It is bias to think that the art of war is just for killing people. It is not to kill people, it is to kill evil. It is a strategem to give life to many people by killing the evil of one person.
