This is a P.S. to my above post.
You said, "Wow you guys have been way nicer on here than..."
Everyone's a critic, Chris. Gives themselves a good Harumph and it's far easier to use words to tell everyone foolish enough to listen that you do it better.
Instead of taking it for what it is, a friendly drill in a hotel on the weekend of a tournament. I know if I had been competing in that tourney you wouldn't catch me in no drill line on Friday night. Not, me, I'd be resting with my feet up to fight the next day. We all know how long and tiring competition is.
As for realism, hard core training, and that's not the way it should be done yada yada, oh shut up. I didn't see any blood, did you? Nobody got slammed into the ground or got their nose broken. Think you should have seen some of thatr? Isn't that a component of training lines? Isn't that a component of actual fighting? You know, I'll bet whoever said something negative on that other place....I'll bet some of them might have actually trained with Ed Parker, or with some of the other fine Kenpo men I know and who I have also trained with. I'll betcha Ed and the others would take a dim view of what they probably said.
But I'm not going to go there look at what they said. You know what I am going to do? I'm going to do some training line in class tonight. Gonna' have some fun, too. And if I do it properly, nobody will get hurt. Maybe I'll get lucky and have some folks watching who'll criticize the drill. Might as well drag their asses up there and put them in line. Wouldn't that be grand?
You keep rocking, kiddo.
