As far as I'm concerned that's how I train (and have trained) already...it was a finely written article on the facts of MA's, as far as not training with knives go...training WITH them can also be dangerous if you don't know how to handle them.

On the point of 'finding the inner chi during a fight' part, if you've trained it enough you won't have to stand there and 'find' it during combat but will be able to use it at will.

But as far s the rest of it goes, I agree, most traiditional MA's get you formalised into a system of automatic movements (which is why I dislike Karate so much) but most of the systems that I've trained in treach in the way you've written down, so I'm happy.

Lastly, Bil, I take it you follow the JKD concepts? If so....good man
