Again, Bull and dojo thinking. Do you even know what a principle is in IMA? how a specific body method is developed? the amount of time you have to drill it to ingrain the method deeply into your body? This has nothing to do with seeing thousands of kicks and punches thrown at you.
But its cool if you like to collect thousands of kicks. I'm sure that would put you closer to that black sash you've always wanted....after "two decades of personal experience" you sure have earned it!
Do you even know what a sparring match or a fight is?
I don't collect anything. I learn to fight. I do go to a school, with walls and a floor to learn MA, however it is not a "Dojo" as you use the term so derogatively. We already made it clear that you don't know shit about my school or my experience or my teacher except what I have said in here. So why don't you stop insulting my school. I have insulted you personally, but I have a basis for that. I won't say anything about your teacher or your school because I don't know shit about them.
You obviously don't know how the brain learns shit since you think you can learn to do something without experiencing it.
This topic is not IMA specific. Actually neither of the original arts referenced are internal, so I don't really know why you are bringing up IMA principles and developing a specific IMA body method, its not relevant.
The topic is (was) about how a person can be thrown off by an unusual style. The answer is that they are unfamiliar to that styles method of movement and techniques. You become familiar with them and learn to react to them by experience, same as any other MA technique. Somehow you seem to be denying that you need to experience something to have an optimal response to it. You seem to want to deny that over time as you experience the technique more that your response become more and more effective and more efficient. That doesn't even make sense.
So tell me how its supposed to work then? I want you to explain how a person can use principles to react to an unfamiliar technique, unfamiliar stances, unfamiliar footwork optimally, the first time. Since that is what you are advocating.
