There is no resistance if I do what I do properly...that said, I agree that one needs to know how to take a hit and should train at a high level of intensity and contact on a regular basis.
If you are throwing onto hard floors, you won't really learn how to throw and land very well because you are always having to worry about injuries from landing on a hard surface... same if you are sparring without protective gear.

That is the fatal flaw of the "lethal" techniques approach.
