cheers 8limb. That makes sense and I hear wot u say about people who have good form but cant fight. But I also know people who can fight but have no form. Wether this is a good thing or not is another matter but if a man trains, he should train to make the most of what he has to make the most of himself and his technique.
Chess pieces can only perform in a predetermined manner. They cannot exceed the parameters of that manner and they cannot minimalise the efforts needed to perform the moves. They cannot deviate, even slightly or have failures in their ability to perform moves or "technique".
I think "technique" is a complex study, even in a minimalist art. I personally cannot leave it behind. Because my body mechanics and economy in motion is the root of my art. If something works in live sparring I need to make it better in the mirror or in my mind. This is just me. Live work is a great part of the anyones training but I see how it is right to say dead training is crap??? What about visualisation? Is that "dead" too?
Im not dissing SBG at all, infact I think its great because these things are good for forcing us to thinbk about what we are doing. Infact to have one extreme (alive), you have to have (dead) no? I would like to keep to the middle way.
I will watch the clip properly again later cheers!
