Tribal Arts: A method of thinking about training

[relentlesstraining]

Gurojon, Good point. I use the term tribal for several reasons. The first of which is that many of the arts I teach are from the Phillipines and Indonesia. Many of these arts are tribal (only taught within the tribe) or familial. For this reason, I use the analogy of "the tribe" since it seems to fit well within the American frame of experience. Do you disagree?

Yeah if you are talking about training together and not trying to kill eachother that should be comon sense. . If you are a good school your students will take care of each other this is a must. we never go 100 %, we all have to work the next day. I soar with my students uauly on their level then below thier level and also above thier level and I take hits to get them better. But we are not Tribal.
