is fighting not an expression?? there is no possible way to train as we fight, because every fight is different... this is where the original post comes in - do you not find it practical to train impractical moves in order to better prepare yourself for the impracticalities of melee??
i believe weapons training factors in here.

It's straight out of xiaohongquan. Thanks for the application! I always thought it was impractical.

I don't think everyone would fight the same if they focused on the most effective techniques and not so much on less effective ones. It will really depend on personal attributes (speed, strength, power, quickness, agility, or just general overall athleticism). Principles are another factor that can make difference in a fight and not just what the move is; it brings to mind that old quote that has been floating around for some time now:
This is to me is an important thing to consider when training, and for me, most people who train (traditional or not) usually just break in down to only a dozen techniques they do really well.I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times.
Jeepers, guys! I'm at work here. Can't you warn a vato before you put one of those up?
