What makes you think that you need to be "good" to critically examine things? It is by and through criticism that we get better. We don't get better from a everything-is-wonderful POV.
FWIW, a person doesn't need to be very good to recognize things that aren't very good. All it takes is some experience training with good people. If you put in some time training with good grapplers, for example, you'd recognize crappling -- you don't need to be a BJJ BB to know that when you see it. If you put in some time training with people with good stand-up (boxers or MT fighters), you easily recognize poor stand-up.
That's great, Phil. You and I have a differing POV. I don't think "it's all good", instead I think -- and the evidence bears me out -- it's mostly crap. And I, unlike you, do care.
Ah, yes, that explains why you teach and practice things like pressure point strikes with the fingers.
You care far more about being a "defender of the faith" -- the faith being the dogma of TWC (Cheung).
There are all kinds of people "putting themselves out there" by uploading clips. Is that making things better? No. What you don't grasp is POSTING CLIPS IS PART OF THE PROBLEM -- none of us, including me, should be putting up clips. None of us are good enough. The difference is I recognize that and apparently you don't. For me to put up clips would only be adding fuel to the fire, and I'd be doing the very thing that I see as a problem.
As I said before, Phil, I don't tell others to look to me for answers or as an example of how to do things -- the answers aren't to be found by looking to me or you or any of us. That you look to others for answers is part of the TCMA mindset and the basis of the problem. You expect someone to show you or tell you. It doesn't work that way. And, no one can tell you or show you. The answers don't come from another -- they only come from putting in the right kind of work. How do I know that? Because that's what the evidence shows, becasue that's how skills are learned/developed, etc.
