Any technique that you can apply in manner so controlled as to be stopped at any point.

I bend your fingers back - it'll hurt way before any damage is caused.

I put pressure on your elbow in the wrong direction - it'll hurt way before any damage is caused.

I grab your ear - it'll hurt way before I can start making a necklace.



If you're saying that you, personally, can't inflict pain without causing damage, then you lack control.
So the pain is caused by damage to the finger tendons, are are so saying bending the tendons to cause pain cause no damage at all to the tendons ?

GErry is making up his own definition And then telling people who use the,dictionary definition they are wrongand then saying it doesn't matter as dictionaries are only advisory and words mean anything he wants them to, but then if you make up your own definition of say "damage" he says your wrong as it's not in the dictionary

Yes I am.

The body is built to feel pain before the point of damage is reached - it's a natural defence mechanism.

Put your hand near something hot - you feel heat. At a certain point it'll start to hurt, but no damage yet. That's the defence - stop doing that, it hurts.

Keep doing it and get more pain, and a blister. That's slight damage (although in itself a blister is a defence mechanism).

Push through that pain and you'll get an actual burn, and even more lasting pain.

It's not like touching a lightbulb you've just turned off will melt your arm off and leave a charred stump - but it'll hurt a little.

That's the same thing as bending your finger back. A bit of pain is your body telling you to stop the action (or comply if you will) before any damage happens. Self protection...

It's not such a binary system as you're trying to make it - you can easily have pain without damage.

Go on, tell me I'm wrong.

Do a search for "tendon elasticity".

Seriously.

If you hadn't gone past the elastic stAge , it wouldNt be stretched and no pain. So it's a self proving point, pain equals stretch equals damage, but just doIng press ups damages them

If pretend to have a Heart attack then when he came in to give the kids of life, wham. I've done something not that dissimilar with good result s

So I'm required to provide detailed, word perfect responses to you that you never deem good enough.

Yet you can't extend me the courtesy to explain a technique every white belt bjj knows?

Lol so you can't escape it good to know your limits.

Press ups done wrong can damage certain tendons, but correctly executed causes no tendon damage at all.

They can cause minor damage to muscle fibres, but that's the point - minor damage to muscle fibre from overload is what causes strengthening and growth.

I haven't seen this stated yet, so I'd like to be the first.

You're talking crap.

I actually think you know you are and are trying to be clever with your arguments, but it's just making you look extremely ignorant.

Cell telomere shortening isnt painful, yet that is damage? Neither is the low dosage of radiation damage you get from the sun every day.

No it damages them, they get stronger through damage but it's still damage, just like stretching them with a finger bend is damage

Sure. Jobo doesn’t like that the term “pain compliance”, as commonly used in martial arts, isn’t just an amalgam of the definitions of those two words.

What level of damage is occurring. I’ve had that done many times with nothing more than temporary (maybe a few minutes) pain. Perhaps there are micro-tears like with some exercise.

Straw man. I never said the dictionary was wrong.
