Well, things have moved in odd directions in the last day or so, I'm just going to deal with the thread topic as it has developed (and leave MJS to deal with procedural issues.... enjoy, Mike!).
Let's see if someone can actually get the value behind this.
"Flow like the wind and let the lightning strike."
This is related to one of the core concepts of my MA.
It is similar to the water concept in Taijiquan or which Bruce Lee mentioned.
Now, personally, based on the way you have posted (and the context in which you put this), I'm not sure you really get what Bruce Lee was talking about there.... there's a big difference between Bruce's famous quote and the idea of elemental concepts guiding a martial art.
Basically it works by an extremely low tonicity level combined with maximized constant balance which allows for optimal reactions under any circumstance.
So... you relax and try to not fall over? Gotta say, by itself, that's not really much of anything, and is not related to reactions "under any circumstance" either.
So here's where you get to show that you have something... how do you maintain constant balance? What are your stance concepts and movement concepts that reflect that?
While the wind part focuses on smooth, relaxed body and mind conditions under any circumstance, no matter how exhausing, rough or painful, the lightning part focuses on maximized speed and strength equally.
The philosophy is "you can't beat what you can't see".
Okay, the first part (smooth, relaxed body and mind conditions under any circumstance), frankly, isn't anything. And saying "under any circumstances" as often as you are again shows a lack of understanding, as that is not a good idea in the slightest. The "lightening" aspect again isn't anything but vaguaries. As for the "philosophy", that is, first off, not a philosophy but a maxim, or at best a concept or belief, and secondly, is fundamentally flawed from the get-go. But for more detailed understanding of what it seems like you are getting towards, look to concepts of Koteki Ryuda, Sen no Sen, Sen Sen no Sen, and, honestly, metsubishi.
The idea behind the lightning method is basically to generate as much acceleration as possible in a time frame as small as possible.
But how do you do that? Without a method, there is no martial art, just words that you think make something impressive. You have to have a method to achieve all of these things (which is what I was getting at in the "delusional list" of questions earlier, son), and that cannot be created in a vacuum (from scratch). Add to that the fact that it is highly unlikely (I would probably state impossible) for you to have come up with anything actually new, unless completely unviable.
Whereas the regular training would change my speed from extremely fast at the beginning, to average speed a few weeks/months later in trade for higher strength, my lightning methods constantly increase speed and strength.
I may share some details about my lightning concept once I figured out what could be the reasons why it works.
I really don't think you understood the "regular training" then. It sounds like you had a method that you thought was "fast", and the instructor looked at you, and said "sure, but here's how to make it effective and powerful", which sacrificed some speed for that power or accuracy. Or your method was just way out for the art your were studying. Frankly, that's not a failing of the art, it's a failing of the student from where I'm sitting.
And if you don't know why something you have "works", then you have nothing. Just so you know.
So far my intuition about the things in my MA has proven to be right in 90% of times which is why I have gained such a high confidence in my MA, but after all I do not keep things that do not actually work out.
Your intuition has "proven to be right" according to who? How was it tested? So far I've heard a lot of classroom theory, but nothing to indicate anything real. Video will help (and no, you don't have to be fighting someone, but a base covering of some of your methods will be useful. I'll be able to see whether or not there's anything viable then, and honestly probably be able to sy if it's similar to anything else that I've encountered... which is a fair bit).
Of course it is always tricky how long you spend on practicing something that has not yet proven to be worth keeping, it takes a lot of confidence.
The first few years I struggled a lot, full of doubts and self-criticism, I basically felt like one of those ghost hunters seeing ghosts on every photo. ^^
Er, yeah. This entire section is, well, nothing. Sure, you may have confidence, but that doesn't mean it has any founding in reality. Again, if all of this is coming from what you think "works" or not, that is hardly enough for us to justify such confidence based on the understanding you've demonstrated so far.
Fortunately, my MA has a similar philosophy like the one of Kyokushin. Walking your way means enduring and persisting.
Now, just to give you the benefit of the doubt here again, can you talk about the philosophy of Kyokushin? Beyond the little bit you listed there, as that is only a very small bit of it, and not really how I would describe Kyokushin's philosophy myself.
