Hey grate post and wrote with wisdome :) how ever i do disagree with you on some points and i hope you lisen me up for a second
What you are describing is not about learning how to fight
If you wana protect youreself or youre loved ones you can get a stick pepperspray teaser or what ever is legal in youre country...
In my personal opinion what you are describing is the wai of life of a martial artist
Its the way to (and this is important) not only train and teach technics but also the responsability that cuns with this knowledge
And not only knowing how it feels to get hit but also te consequences of a strike performed by youreself
Other then that
I totally agree with you
Tanks fpr the post
Keep up the good work and sorry for the baad englisch
Best regards
