To understand reality based training one must go back to a beginners thoughts, whether he/she wants to maintain a level of expertise during the training process, “Do they want to get hurt, in the Beginng stages even in class situation where the possibilities of maiming a fellow student just because a adv student is more powerful that the latter. The CONTROL portion is first on the mind, yes proving that he is worth his salt, IS the first "HOW TO" train. Are they always be soft? Or are they going to turn a new leaf and accept the training, with the hardness intended. If soft is the answer then soft you will be,,, Change to a martial art program again that suites you
“potential” is a attacker that breaks my “circle of defense” and be in close proximity, reaps the rewards of the years of training that I have acquired.
So in a training/seminar situation, time is of the essence, “starting slow to learn the technique, then slowing progressing to an ability that suites your body" frame, an expertise, then “full on” when the situation warrants it. You have developed a “Brawn and thinking” student ,,,,one that has learned the skills of hitting hard and on the money, and methodically taking the attacker apart.thru knowledge. Hammerfist maki rawa, chopping makirawa or heavy Bags,,,,all helps in building the required power to drop an attacker…..But Getting hit just to prove that you can! That goes under the heading of GIVE AND TAKE, So I guess or as close as I can get to it,,,,is that. You will learn the technique because an Instructor took the time in teaching you right, by inserting knowledge, vital point concentration, raising your ability from a white belt to a more advanced student.
Reality training has its points ,, but to reach that, taking stairs upward is a real process, if you fall,, get up and keep on moving. And when you are ready. jump in with both feet, doing it you will either be better at it and understand the concept or you will leave, no losers just time to reach your goals. Have a partner that can handle the pounding,not too much around.
All techniques can be lethal, It depends whether you have to use it or same technique different reason, "As in an inside open ridge hand technique "do I make him choke or crush his windpipe my choice!"
With all due respect
