Comment on 3D Martial Arts In The Future by RJ Price

Great idea! I was always fascinated by the holo-decks on Star Trek Deep Space Nine. What you’re talking about is certainly getting closer to that kind of effect.

Not sure I understand this. Say I have a double collar tie and throw my first knee. Are you saying after the first blocked strike, we drop the same knee into them without putting it down? Or are we doing an immediate switch knee?

When “playing” with others you can always use full “intensity,” but hold back on the full power. You come in with speed and attitude, but don’t demolish your practice partner.

I don’t know if this advice helps or not.

I think of it as a progression. You are able to do more when younger; as you age, the limitation forces you to get more efficient … if you are going to continue to improve. But yes, I agree … start at a young age …

Comment on Switching Leads: Useful Move or Dangerous Tactic? by kerwinbe

As to switching … think Bruce Lee … “Move with a purpose.” If it serves a purpose for you
to switch, then fine. But if you are switching just for switching’s sake, then I’d rethink
it.

If you are in range, then switching could be a weak spot. Just something to think about.

We have a forest in our backyard, but the trails are windy and steep. Yours sounds like ideal conditions.

Make sure these knee strikes are tight. No wide angles required

Yep, makes sense. One (knowing muay thai) would think that it would be linked more onto knees and elbows… Low wide kicks remind me more of CQC of american army.
