Indeed, I think this is most beneficial for beginners--at the higher levels you must be fed random strikes. I'm talking about the basic drill as I recall it having been taught.

Arnisador,
This might be an East Coast thing as the first time I came to Buffalo in 1987 at John Bryant's school (back when Tim Hartman was a puppy - either a green or brown belt) I had to correct everyone into actually striking at a target and not a foot away. Yes, a foot away, and this was everyone I came in contact with.
Remy Presas, never, ever had us hit at the shoulder for strikes 1&2 in formal (or otherwise) practice. It was always the head. Other areas of the country I cannot vouch for nor other instructor's preferences.
Yours,
Dan

Dear K Williams,
A couple of posters and I are having fun with each other regarding a book that I wrote. I would be surprised if you learned them from my book as it has only been out for a few months. MartialTalk shifts from serious business to good natured fun faster than a speeding bullet sometimes and if you are relatively new or don't know the posters, it can get misleading.
Yours,
Dan Anderson
