People said that when you test
- "anti-grappling", you have to mimic a good grappler.
- "anti-striking", you have to mimic a good striker.
But IMO, if you can mimic a good grappler (or striker), you are already a good grappler (or striker).

Any student can "mimic a skilled puncher" by varying their:
1) Timing — delay time in between combination punches, base punch on A's (receiver's) reactions, etc.
2) Distance — change distance by moving their feet.
3) Speed — punch slow, normal or fast.
4) Position (angle) — change angle by moving their feet.

So I lowered that guard, adjusted the distance - just as I had been doing years back when I did Karate, I went into my “karate” mood(without kicks) and it became alright. From there I began to “play around” doing shuffles - let my arm dangling - weaving one arm and the other punch things, things you see those high level boxers do in the ring, and it worked very well, i guess it made me feel relaxed and free. Well of course it was just sparring and my boxing friends (most probably) took it easy
Can you mimic yourself as float like a butterfly, sting like a bee? What's your opinion on this?

According to BJJ black belt Matt Thornton (founder of Straight Blast Gym International), an Alive training method must incorporate Movement, including spontaneous footwork and the active resistance and intent of all parties during drills or sparring; Timing, in which there is no “predictable rhythm… pattern, repeatable series of sets” which would lead students away from acquiring applicable skill; and Energy, the practice of committing, with intent and realism, a given technique during sparring, “bag work” or drills.

Block practice is the mere execution of a technique in a highly controlled and often invariable atmosphere.Random practice, on the other hand, seeks to mimic the game itself by simulating a higher level of variability (change in factors such as distance). . . .
Block (traditional) practice is too focused on technique. Technique is vitally important, but perfecting technique in a vacuum gives you a false sense of mastery. You never practice the reading, distancing, and pressure management aspects they way you will need them in a fight. In reality, the actual use of your techniques will be in a shifting environment — not a controlled one — with an uncooperative opponent. Yet block practice does not offer that sort of practice. . . .
The way traditional and RBSD folks think about techniques tends to pre-qualify a given technique as “practical” even if the individual learner has no competence in using it. This can lend itself to neglect scientific training methods which allow the learner to perfect not just the technique, but all the skills that allow that technique to be successful. . . Rather, they require practice that mimics as closely as possible the dynamics of a real fight: namely, honest interaction with an unscripted, uncooperative opponent.

All these 4 requirement are used in normal sparring (also used in my yesterday testing). But 1-4 are relative and not absolute.

Did they mimic themselves as good boxers? I believe they have tried.
