And I am not sure if your post was directed at me or Jim


.how about if I said don't do the Bunkai....go and invent your own, would that annoy you as much?........but No I have said the unforgiveable thing..........that conditioning is not relevant, or really not that important

FWIW..I do condition..but not in the way you do...........I condition when I cross arms with the Ving tsun group that I train with, and also when we go full contact doing escrima.....and I have been known to tap my legs with an escrima stick from time to time , although I class that as boredom and not training..................is that important IMHO No.not even close...................in the past I have seen clips of the group that you train with, so I will comment, if you have trained with Boxers then they are not the boxers that I have trained with........................Really you have no anger in your eyes..............No fire in your soul

"They have given us into the hands of the new unhappy lords,
Lords without anger and honour, who dare not carry their swords.
They fight by shuffling papers; they have bright dead alien eyes;
They look at our labour and laughter as a tired man looks at flies.
And the load of their loveless pity is worse than the ancient wrongs,
Their doors are shut in the evenings; and they know no songs.
The Secret People, G.K. Chesterton
