I think it's more along the lines of "You can't teach heart." Which I think is true to some extent.

Under Professional Karate Association rules, there is a requirement for a minimum of 8 kicks per round, you will be penalised if you do less. If it is only kicking, why do they stipulate a minimum amount of kicks per round?

Ok that's easy, I sound like M ( the Dame Judy Dench one but 20 years younger) from James Bond and all you have to remember is that I'm always right ( that's a joke, I'm 99% right...that's a joke too
) oh and I have the British sense of humour! . 
That is true, however it can be learned/developed. Some folks are simply afraid of violence at any level. This can be cured by them learning that getting hit isn't nearly as bad as they think. This, I think, is part of that "heart" that can be developed.
Also, the confidence most folks get from developing skill and being competent changes motivation. That may be another part of "heart" that can be learned.

Kick boxing is mostly kicking with no other real techniques that can be used in a fight.
The no other real techniques part is what caught my eye. My kickboxing instructor, Jean-Yves ThƩriault (kickboxer) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia , won by knockouts from both hands and both feet in a professional career that lasted more than 15 years.
Great, now I'll be picturing Dame Dench every time I read your posts - and imagining her scrabbling on the ground in a gym.Ok that's easy, I sound like M ( the Dame Judy Dench one but 20 years younger) from James Bond and all you have to remember is that I'm always right ( that's a joke, I'm 99% right...that's a joke too

You're right. I just went off of what my Friend told me who's a kick boxer but assuming he's wrong I'll try to edit my post. Sorry

My wife punches me in the shoulder when I say that, for some reason.

Totally agree that it can be developed, but everyone has tendencies. Some people are analytical, some are creative, some are stubborn or pugnacious. You can take someone who isn't inherently creative (which can be for many reasons) and give them tools to help them be MORE creative. In the same way, you can teach someone who is on the autism spectrum to be MORE social.
In much the same way, you can cultivate "heart." But there are some people who just have it, and in a battle of wills, where all other things are roughly equal, they will usually come out on top.

My marriage has a 25 year old body, even if I don't.

Nobody said you don't train and no one is upset, the statement was Mr. Parker has experience in ninjutsu so telling to go look at wikipedia is silly, I mean did you see his signature? He has lots of experience and if you click those links you will see it.
