Johns right.. people that take all these years and years of classes. Doesnt mean much. Its like learning all these different ways to swim for years, and never even getting into a pool. Ive seen numerous Black belts in Karate and such, freeze up in a real confrontation. Because theyre used to a controlled setting like in their Dojo.
When me and my guys i train. We train. Its no, everyone stand in a formation, and follow the strike or combo that the sensei is doing. Everyday we train were striking, and throwing submissions, at 90%, which is still enough to leave me coming home 3 times a week with some sort of bruise or cut.
