Creating distance, about a kilometer or so would be good.

I don't see how dying can be considered a win.Usually, the winner of a Knife vs. Knife fight is the guy who dies at the hospital, later

I don't see how dying can be considered a win.
Its called a pyrrhic victory.
And your qualifications to judge the actual severity of those wounds are...?
Not really. Unlike you, I have actual medical records as well as the training to accurately assess the severity of the wounds.

Sr. Grandmaster
well for example the bouncer I worked with who got glassed and lost an eye. I could tell. Because he only had one eye. That sort of absolutely obvious result.
And these medical records would not be something you could produce are they. So we are both back to anecdotes.
And if you cannot produce this bouncer then your evidence is only anecdotal.
drop bear
Sr. Grandmaster
yes. You are correct.

So... Quick records search since I had to come to the ER for a meeting today.
Over the last two years, 98% of knife wounds were discharged after treatment in the ER.
Sent from an old fashioned 300 baud acoustic modem by whistling into the handset. Really.

I have spent most of my life in a Japanese dojo. One fights nearly everyday. If its fundamentals with your sensei leading. If you are fighting to get a place on the team to win the all Japan championships whatever. You fight till you drop! No pain no gain. Fighting someone else or fighting your own weakness are both tools for advancement.

Depends how much work screws me. Three to five days on average.

Okay, been away for a bit... still having some computer issues, but it seems to be working for the minute...
Er... no, it's really not an example of what you were talking about. For one thing, what you were talking about (issues you think exist in bunkai... we'll deal with that in a bit) is really not shown here at all... the idea of a bad partner is more one of drills than anything else, and can be just as present in sparring as anything else.
You really think you "made up" the idea of a bad partner? Seriously? And do you really not get the idea of drills against particular set-ups? Or are you going to suggest that you shouldn't train against specific set-ups? Do you simply not let your training partners get the position you're meant to escape from when training? Really?
Er... no. What I asked was what your understanding of what bunkai is, not for you to link to a video showing one expression of it that, frankly, I don't think you understand in the slightest. So I'll try again... how exactly are you, drop bear, defining "bunkai"? What do you, in your own words, without videos, believe that it actually is?

they look like drills. Isolated fighting bits.

That's what it looked like to youā¦ but what actually is bunkai? That's the question.

In the context I am going to use them yes. So if I do a drill I will good partner. But when I spar I bad partner.

Then you're a bad training partner.

I am supposed to be a bad training partner. I am making it my mission to cut off their ability to perform techniques.
