GBL,
Thanks for going to the trouble of finding another clip.
I have thought about what I wrote and your response.

Some may disagree, but I think it was a good exchange, at least for me.
It has helped me crystalize my thoughts on how I feel about intensity.
I feel it is everything.

I went back to my Musashi's BOOK OF FIVE RINGS book to see what he wrote on the subject.

Here are a few excerpts.

"the reason true warriors are fierce is because their training is fierce"

"You must practice with the intensity of real life situations or it becomes a game and you can easily be beaten."

"Even in practice sessions you must have the attitude of going in for the kill"

This from a famous Japanese swordsman circa late Ming dynasty who was well known as a man never beaten in one on on matches with the sword.

As for the clip, I liked this one much better.
Especially the second takedown.

Like Winter said, there is some brawling, but hey, that is what happens when someone is trying to knock your block off.
