No he has never said that.
Sure I did. You asked how I "test" my techniques. I said I don't need to test them. They you said I wont know they work. I said I know they work because Ive done it people that came before me have done it and people Ive trained with have done it. Then you demand proof. I invite you to come look and you cry its too far. Look I don't care if you believe me or not. The techniques you learn are very similar to what I learn so if it works for you then it will for most people. I don't learn or teach complicated multi-move fine motor skilled techniques. The best defense is simple straight forward and easy. I teach if your In a position where you need to defend yourself you need to attack swiftly, forcefully, and with violence of action. I have no need or desire to "test" it. Its been tested over and over again long before I learned it. I drill it over an over and over until it becomes a reflex or trained reaction. I don't care what any one else does. If you have so little faith in your style and teachers you feel the need to go "test" it then so be it.
I also call in to question anyone claiming they train in full contact. I have only ever hit someone "full contact" once. I broke my hand and he's now blind in his left eye had 5 surgeries to rebuild his eye socket and filed a suit against me and the city for 6 million dollars which was dropped after he was sent to prison for 25 years. I hit people from time to time at work but almost never "full contact." So I doubt your going full contact because you would run out of training partners. You may be going hard but your not going full contact.
Im also not saying training extremely hard is bad or wrong Im saying its just not the only way
