'Nope, what they learned isn't flawed, just not as complete as it will be. Provided a few things occur. Which is why it is soo hilarious to hear you discuss fighting something that you don't even understand. When you talk about fighting higher belts it's even funnier. But I think you know that. Or at least sense that they are totally waiting and would welcome you to come in and demonstrate these percieved flaws in person.'
To my knowledge, higher belts in the schools now either have less years in the martial arts under their belts, or are upper echelon bureaucrats who haven't gone through a lesson in years.
And yes, they are flawed movements for the function they are designed for. They teach a flawed version of self defense, that, as you stated above, is then supposedly corrected years later. This is flawed training methodology. They could have been better off learning the correct way, and having that way critiqued until the practitioner learned it.
Again, you seem unable to directly refute the points I'm raising about dedogi, and instead try to make personal attacks against me. Fine, your instructors all appear to be familiar with the open challenges many of us pro-moos have on here. If you want to prove me wrong, come to KC. Otherwise, I'm not gonna waste a trip to prove what I already know. That's the nature of open challenges. You have to come to the challenger. I have established the weakness of the block in dedogi, in text you have been unable to prove me wrong, I have no reason to believe that you can somehow make work in person what you have failed to explain here, so why I should feel any need to visit one of your schools to show you the flawed training theories that I already explained quite well is beyond me. Perhaps animal bob didn't understand technical terms such as connectivity and such. Seeing as they're technical terms for martial arts, I find that sad.
If I am so wrong, why is it that so many of your higher belts leave the moo and move to other systems, and don't look back?
In any case, I've got one more installment of The Dedogi Files, a.k.a. 'Hey, what is it I'm defending against, anyway?'
Talk to you later.
