I was recently checking out a particular MA and it got me thinking. Many MA' ists spend a lot of time pretending to strike someone, but stopping a couple inches from the target. Yes, I understand the reasoning, no need to explain it. But I am wondering if this would not lead to a bad habit that may be repeated in an actual fight? After all, it is said often that "you fight how you train". That being the case, wouldn't the above scenario be possible? For those of you who train this way, how do you make sure you wouldn't make this mistake when the time came? I am asking not to start any style vs. style debates, but because Im really curious.
Thanks!
Thanks!
