another fast twitch question

[j]

I just think its interesting to note that animals minds operate at a much faster rate than ours. I was watching a program about 5 years ago and it said that a dog or cat looking at a TV would see something similar to what we see when the V-hold is way off, flickering like crazy because its like they see between the frames. Our perception is slow enough that the approx 25 fps seem to blend so it looks fluid to us...totally not related but whatever. Its neat to know.

J, How do you blend your physical & technical training? minute drills or something? could you give an example? how exactly do you feel you benefit from it?

btw- I didnt mean to sling anything before. I was just sick of raph and felt I HAD to say something.

alright man - well, you can think of an exercise you might be familiar with. let's say a bicep curl. you only slightly, very slightly have to modify your arm movement in a bicep curl to form an uppercut type motion. so, maybe bicep curl could be one part of your physical training aspect of the technique, or even better, the principal of the uppercut. then you would be doing pretty much the same movement in application drills where, as example, a guy does one movement and you throw uppercut as counter. that is closer towards the function part of training the movement where as the curl would be closer to the form part. form and function.

it is like how people think of punching with dumbells. except you can go a lot deeper into the movement itself and really learn what your uppercut is about. so i don't limit my training to weight practice and functional application - i do everything in between too.

really, if you use your imagination, you will probably come up with some nice stuff as long as you are passed beginning level. you will probably find out that what you thought you made up was done before - probably a long time ago as well. there is nothing new. if you can think it up, it has been practiced before.

that's why i like rossboxing - he gets creative with his stuff. i see many of the things he does are actually really, really old martial arts practices.
