I've seen people from your organization train and spar. I have yet to see any of them even attempt to perform a neck strike on their partner.
And I have trained and sparred with countless people from my organization and have seen and performed hundreds of them, but then you know more than me don't you?
Take the following video:
1:51 - reverse knife hand to the neck, 2:06 spinning knife hand to the throat, there's 2 right there.
Because Kano realized you couldn't perform strikes at full power and speed safely in a training environment without restricting them in some way.
So all the boxers, kick boxers and MMA fighters are restricting their strikes in some way, but I thought they were training with full resistance? Look what Judo chose to do or not to do is irrelevant, other arts chose differently. To perform martial arts safely you have to restrict something and you can either sacrifice speed and power, what techniques you can use, what targets you can strike for or you can wear padding, or you can do what we do in my art and restrict the contact thereby enabling you to use full speed and power safely.
How exactly is the notion of hitting something and getting hit by something makes you more used to hitting something and getting hit by something not jive with reality? That's exactly how Muay Thai, Boxers, Bjjers, Judokas, etc train, and they do pretty well for themselves.
I love the notion that since someone is doing a martial sport they're unable to apply that athleticism or ability in a dangerous situation. You really think a professional boxer couldn't knock out some idiot in a bar? You really don't think a wrestler could supplex someone into the concrete? You really don't think a MMA practitioner couldn't choke out someone trying to rape her?
In fact, would argue that the martial athlete is MORE capable of performing their abilities and techniques than a martial artist would be.
And where exactly did I say that?
But you do acknowledge that TKD is simply Japanese karate with more kicking right?
If I wanted to use a straw man argument with little understanding of TKD then yes.
And also not giving you any resistance, just like the mannequin.
If you think that full contact sparring and competitions is the only form of resistance and that non-contact sparring is a complete lack of resistance then you do not understand that term very well.
And its still not the same as you hitting him, and him hitting you. That changes the entire dynamic of your sparring session.
Which is a very good reason to work on your defenses so you don't get hit. Whenever we get hit we adapt, we don't stop for 5 minutes after a slight tap on the groin , we don't get separated by a referee when we get too close or stop between rounds and reset, that changes the dynamic too.
