KS has a lot of relevent, tangable, easy to follow points to say on this subject that I find myself agreeing with.
.....

^^^ A big slob like you can do whatever you want {just kidding.}. And I'm having succotash for lunch, no kidding.... :icon_lol: YUMMY....
^^^ And what's up with the Matador comic...? I'm mean it is an entertainment
forum--I see that now....
^^^ I though we had established I'm a little more cerebral.... I mean if you are dumb, that's one thing.... I would never ask anyone to "play dumb." I do ask people here to think, but am told I'm "dumb." Dumbness is all other....... Summer.......
^^^ Moreover, I accorded cross-training in my final line.... and have spoken to the value of cross-training throughout my history here.... WARNING: I'm going to sound like Sinister now: "Cross-Training is a tool and like any other tool can be misused or misapplied...."
Moreover again,,, I'm with you on many / most of your points.... except the "succotash" of mixing stuff up & declaring this is "good." Need clarification?
SEE VID #2: where you have very young kids going at one another with kickboxing.... that only bears a vauge physical reference to traditional karate, eagle-eye [?] style chinese / Korean TMA.
Hey, I even pointed out a good marketing reason and MMA reason for the contact he advocates, even though I personally don't agree.... I think you're throwing your weight around a bit....
By all means, if the Fist of Nothingness is a feasible business strategy.... who am I to object.... my reservation is how effective this approach actually is, notwithstanding the great appeal of the concept to an applied fighter such as yourself...
^^^ Get a license from the guy & use git @ your GYM.... go for it.....

Id agree with Summerstriker on this one.
There's nothing wrong with rebranding something once you've made your fighting philosophy "your own". All he did was give it a name...nothing different than what Bruce Lee did.

KS usually has thought provoking comments, they're just riddled up with the way he posts. I, for one, enjoy it.
^^^ That we need, an authority to clear the air.... nice post....For the record, most TMA guys who think you need to know kanji/hangul or whatever are full of sh*t. There's no point to it. Just like there's no point to knowing whether you should drink first or not at dinner.
^^^ Can you elaborate...?Of course, that's my opinion and if that stuff is important to you all the more power to you.

I don't think there's a point to learning Asian language or culture to study a martial art, but if people consider it important they should go ahead and learn it. Just because it's not important to me doesn't mean it can't be a key element of someone else's study
A favorite is Cannon hand, the Chinese also translated to leopard's paw.
^^^ Huh, though I basically said that.... that's problem with clipped answers, doesn;t occur with the boxing 'clinics.'I don't think there's a point to learning Asian language or culture to study a martial art, but if people consider it important they should go ahead and learn it.
