Who is Right??

[BullGod]

Ok someone made a bet with me that they were right so read this and tell me who is right.

"How you execute a move matters. Style means it looks good it doesn't have to look good it just has too work."

Thats me

"Style and how you adapt is more important than knowing how to execute a move." Thats her

[elbows_and_knees]

you are both right.

where you are wrong is your definition of style. style does not merely mean something looking pretty. Style, especially pertaining to martial arts, implies a lot of things. most importantly, how a move is executed. Look at the roundhouse as it is done in muay thai. then look at how it's done in TKD. the style dictates how it's done, not how pretty it is.

She is actually very correct. How well you adapt to a situation means everything. The best, most powerfully executed technique in the qord means nothing if you can't use it.
