Sunday April 22nd Class
In class today we went over koshi sanpo and ryu sui iki waza. Nothing too enlightening besides making sure that you are in Kamae. This is probably my biggest sore point with martial arts in general. You learn all these great postures or stances then ignore them because they are not practical in a “real” self defense situation. I see so that’s why they exist because they don’t work. People have used them for years in life or death situations because they don’t work, but you who have spent a couple years fooling around in a padded room know better.
Sorry I just get a bit carried away when people ignore the foundation of their art then complain that it doesn’t work. I am done … for now.
