@Ronin6575 You are dead on. I've found personally that free-form training teaches you to react in the moment and gets more done in less training time.

[Ronin6575]

@mattkovsky I agree with your explanation. I think we can get lost in our training and many people have a tendency to forget why they are training, so they keep doing the same routines year after year and never really progress. I have known people with decades of "traditional" training who simply could not handle people outside their specific art.

awe man i didn't know this guy was a real kung fu man I remember in the movie Bruce Lee The Man And The Myth he played Yip Man.......awesome get movie by the way for those who never heard of it!

@mattkovsky All patterned training does is lock up the mind, body and reactivity. The same with defense.

[mattkovsky]

@dmos62 Not just looseness. The way you train is the way you fight. If you're a jazz musician who only trains scales or copies other people's leads you'll never be able to "jam" or improvise a solo. If you train being creative and feeling how to flow with other people's spontaneous playing right from the beginning, you'll be the better jazz musician. Similarly with fighting. Once you learn how to punch, kick, chop and gouge (which takes no time at all), flow + adaptation = efficiency.

[dmos62]

@mattkovsky that does sound attractive, but I think that true efficiency is a compromise between that "looseness" you're talking about and drilling or forms.

[mattkovsky]

@dmos62 It would be a system that is utterly efficient for real violence by training improvisation and adaptation by using drills and exercises based on raw movement principles like balance, looseness, body unity, power, sensitivity, elusiveness and "anything goes" savagery rather than specific "if you do that then I'll do this" techniques, forms, patterns and katas.

[dmos62]

@mattkovsky how is that a system then? I think you defined fighting for the sake of fighting, as opposed to sparring for the sake of efficiency.
