Karateka here, I'd only look at you quizzically because I don't understand why you would need to say this. Great vid.

@Hrairoo53 without aliveness theres no point. aliveness allows for a greater understanding of how the pattern you were taught flows and moves and allows you to adapt small pieces of it so it fits your personal style better. I know at any gym that trains with aliveness they dont just throw their students in the ring and let them go at it, they will show a move/sequence/what have you and then have them do it in an actual fight situation

@ATACXGYM if you set two people at a chess board with no understanding of the way pieces move, they can play as many games as they want, they will never improve, in fact, they will be worse off than if they learned by watching someone else play. training with Aliveness drills exclusively is like reinventing the wheel. why throw your students into the stone age when we've been developing fighting systems for thousands of years? yes, aliveness is necessary, but training exclusively is just asbad

@Hrairoo53 I've been training for more than 20 years.I disagree.The exercises and drills that he's criticising are either nonfunctional or far less functional than Alive training.The intricacies of technique,the formulation of attacks and counters,conditioning,cool training partners,everyone being willng to put in work and not worrying about acquiring rank more than acquiring skill,real world scrappin skill,comes from Aliveness.Google THE I METHOD (Introduction Isolation Integration) and see.

ugh, i've only trained for a few years, but i can already tell he doesn't have a complete understanding of the exercises and drills he's been criticizing.
don't get me wrong, i completely agree with his mindset of 'live training,' but that shouldn't result in a criticism of basic techniques as much as in a criticism of a lack of application of said techniques, which, to be fair, exists (just not so much in the states).

@ATACXGYM and i don't disagree with you. but he is not comparing these drills in their proper context. they are not more or less functional than Alive training, they occupy a completely different role. not only is he removing them from sets which include hundreds of variants, but he is comparing them to drills that occupy a completely different area of training. these techniques are less akin to repeating a chess move, then it is to learning how the pieces move in the first place.
