Kirves Posted July 24, 2003 Posted July 24, 2003 An excellent page at: http://www.straightblastgym.com/questcuriculum.html Especially where Matt discusses how it's the training methods that count. You must train alive no matter what the style. He doesn't seem to like the "I'm too deadly for the ring" slogan... See the question "I don’t see what the difference is between what you teach, and NHB training. What about Self Defense! Some of us just want to go home to our families and don’t care about brawling it out in a ring."
GrrrArg Posted July 24, 2003 Posted July 24, 2003 Sounds very Bruce Lee inspired by the way the author talks on the site, but does make some good points the inter-relation of all arts and styles ie: where he says you could teacha boxer how to open his hands and make him effective like that quickly but a normal person with no training would still recieve a kicking.

sansoouser Posted July 25, 2003 Posted July 25, 2003 it is the fighter The amateur shoots his hands out ferociously, but lacks any true power. A master is not so flamboyant, but his touch is as heavy as a mountain.
aznkarateboi Posted July 25, 2003 Posted July 25, 2003 Um... its the fighter, the teacher, the training methods, AND the style....

G95champ Posted July 25, 2003 Posted July 25, 2003 add one more Its the rules of the fight or event (General George S. Patton Jr.) "It's the unconquerable soul of man, and not the nature of the weapon he uses, that ensures victory."
