    Technique vs. Courage

    Hey Team,

    I was reading about the Spartans in one of Plutarchs moral essays and came across an interesting quote;

    They appointed no masters to instruct their boys in wrestling, that they might contend not in sleights of art and little tricks, but in strength and courage


    I find this quite a thought provoking idea from arguably the greatest warriors of the ancient world. Rather than project my opinions on it, what do you think of this method of 'teaching'? Would you employ it for your sons?
