At that point you really demonstrating the concept of it and not the actual use of it. So that is fine.But if I want to talk about V-Locks, it's a lot easier to have a partner who is at least semi-compliant with a V-Lock, so that I can demonstrate it.
Here's a perfect example. Conceptual demonstration vs Use demontration
1st we see a real situation with a real eye gouge done on purpose and with intent to injure. (use demonstration)
2nd Nick Dagrossos does the conceptual demo. He walks us through it and goes into some detail.
The video gives a reference point which helps us to better understand the concept of the technique.
When people see concept demos, they often incorrectly imagine what's needed to pull it off. Unless a person actually sees how something is done, then the only thing they have to go on what they think it will be like.
Same thing here.
Now if you haven't seen videos of people getting poked in the eye, then you're going to have some misconceptions on how to use the technique because you only have your imagination or a concept demo / walk through to go on.
Seeing this video (below) before seeing other people getting poked in they would make a person think yeah a real fight isn't like that, that's not going to work. Now that we have seen a few example we have a better understanding of how we might use the techniques below. Without those videos, it's just a guessing game on how to actually use it.
I think things like this should be conceptual teaching and not a actual use teaching by intentional sparring with people for the purpose of intentionally poking their eyes out, just so one can teach an eye gouge lesson.
