Not that the seniors took such liberties with me, as they had seen what I could do when fighting second, third and fourth dans during my first grading. It sounds like you had a rougher road.

They are only prepared to learn from those who will not contradict their particular viewpoint—which, with regard to Cook’s knowledge of knocking hands, if Cook had bothered to ask Yap how he did it, Yap would have undoubtedly done. But that's a situation where it was very, very clear that combat training completely impeded my common sense. That’s not exciting. My understanding is that most people do not want to shoot and potentially kill someone, unless directly threatened. They attacked on horseback and with arson, neither of which were taught at that school.

Fighters want to be there. make a ton of sense in a martial arts context, so some of the reflexive, instinctive levels of the PTSD didn't settle much until I had stopped practice for quite a few years.

The incident occurred when a ‘champion’ of karate refused to put on gloves, claiming he was more effective with his bare fists. These guys did improve massively, and they developed self-reliance and self-respect--one became a successful professional MMA fighter. In the 1990s in Edinburgh I was accosted on the street: very nearly kicked a woman trying to stab me with a hypodermic syringe in the throat rather than running away, and the two seconds in which I paused to square off could easily have gotten me killed, albeit slowly. Regrettably, every time my name comes up in conversation it is nearly always associated with karate, which for me is like being referred to as a poodle rather than a pit bull. I wonder why. YMMV, of course . Think how much better they could punch if they were boxing instead. Unsmiling, slightly robotic, friendless. He may not suffer fools gladly, but provided one’s intention to learn is clear, I can’t imagine he’d be anything but personable. Find recent content on the main index or look in the archives to find all content. That did change things.

However, you will find some kenshi who are rubbish fighters and some who are excellent. People don't get up from the real sweep-them-up-and-see-daylight-under-their-feet ikkyo, because that forward breakfall takes practice, and landing on your ribcage knocks the wind out of you; or breaks your ribs; and landing badly on your arm breaks your collarbone; and landing on your face can kill you. I mean, it’s a perfect example of how blindly defensive people can get when discussing an individual like Morris, and how they will lash out on a personal level while avoiding addressing the actual points, at all costs.

It’s watered down enough to be palatable. 1) If you hadn’t read any of Morris’s articles and weren’t aware of his recent reversals but had read his old karate interviews instead, you would believe in karate today not MMA, That’s how complete the Morris U-turn has been.
