Ok. Fire away.
On the board breaking, well yes & no, and you are warm but not hot.
A singularly unhelpful sentence.
How 'bought boxers can hit very hard. I think we are ok there. But what kind of power are you talking about? And there you go raising objections again, again, & again.
Nope. No objections asserted in that bit. I pointed out my personal view, and a reason behind it.
Mental development is where karate is at, traditionally speaking. That's my base.
You keep saying this, but haven't defined it, despite more than one request for clarification.
And I did specify (should you study carefully my posts on boxing vs. karate) that boxing ramps up with mental development too. Boxing can train mental development. Not like karate tradition.
So, it can, but it can't? That's still not clarifying what you're saying the "mental development" component is.
Then you bring in the crappy TMA training.
Technically, you brought it in - I referenced you doing so. But that distinction is as unhelpful as you bothering to comment on it.
That's correct. Training karate the way boxing is habitually trained is a mistake. It blows up the longer term development of karate power. It makes karate dumb.
So, to sum up so far, boxing sometimes has mental development, and Karate sometimes doesn't. Remind me again what the distinction is??
And there you go yet again finding an objection right to start.
Not really the start, since it's well into a thread. If you didn't make the same assertions - after a flaw is pointed out - I'd have fewer opportunities to point them out to you. The fix is available for you.
Because I've studied boxing academically, observed boxing and fought boxers, alway winning too! The first degree black belt at my dojo who trains boxing, uses boxing to win tournaments is fine with my perspective, and agrees karate traditional training eclipses boxing over time.
Back to my question many hours ago: eclipses it _
HOW_? See, you keep making a vague assertion. I ask for clarification, and you point to things like someone beating on a heavy bag without looking very thoughtful. I'm not sure you know what you mean.
The point is you don't recognize the mental dimension. And that is the common affliction with TMA and it's training, hence it's under-performance and under-representation in MMA. Your are in the same karate boat as most TMA practitioners.
Actually, the point is that you aren't able to clarify what you mean. See, there are things I think TMA - as I've experienced it - confers more often than other activities (I can't speak to boxing, because I've not spent enough time in a boxing gym with folks of the right age to get that information). But I still don't know if those are the same things you're talking about, because you can't seem to explain - to me or anyone else who has asked for it - what you mean.
Let me close by reiterating that your approach as I understand it, the realistic pressure drills -works. The adaptations you are seeking may well prove out as more practical and effective than kihon karate technical form in many circumstances. All good.
Nope. My assertion is that pressure drills are necessary at some level. I don't compare them to kata and other traditional drills - they aren't alternatives, but tools which can be used separately or together.
I'm speaking developmentally.
I've no idea what you mean by that. But that's so common with your attempts at communication on here by now, I'm sure you're not surprised. Given your lack of real attempts to clarify your points (you know, using a few words to explain a single concept at a time, for instance), I'm not sure you really care whether you communicate - you seem to just like pontificating. (And that, coming from me, is saying something!!)
