I think full contact is better, but not that I am completely helpless without it.
It's not like I lose my first street fight per definition. I have been challenged, in what surprised me was dead serious (he hit me over the eyes, which even started to bleed a bit). I then preceeded to grab his neck and throw his ass to the ground twice.
That guy had fought on the street all his life.Last edited by Pleonism; 08-10-2014, 01:38 AM.

It's a matter of seconds.

For example.
you claim that you can improve your reflexes from other martial art, but what good will that reflex serve? reflexes are good for 2 things, to evade an attack and run, or for use in counter attack. you rely on reflexes to evade the attack, then immediately retaliate with your own counter punches seamlessly. This is an advanced feat, one that can only be mastered through actual sparring.
again, its not just about learning the technique under a controlled environment, but learning how to use the learnt technique under hostile conditions.Last edited by bbos; 08-12-2014, 02:11 AM.
