I’ve been poking around Kenpotalk again, and I found this thread about how techniques fit into a system. The original poster was pondering the idea that at some point, techniques become a hindrance to self-defense, as the constant memorization leads to a if this / then do this technique mentality. I still think that techniques can and should be examples of principles, giving a jumping off point for exploration and application. How do you feel techniques fit into the big picture?
Weekend Workout at Dragon-Phoenix November 6th-7th

For those that are interested, I have a link to the poster (which also doubles as a registration form).
The price is right, and it promises to be a weekend of high level training. I’m sure Jesse can add more information in the comments section.

Aliveness. Do you have it?
Matt Thornton of Straight Blast Gym has been championing aliveness for years. Basically, you will have the best results if your training captures the pressure of the event you are training for in some way.
Watch this video (mainly the first six or so minutes), and comment. Do you have it? Can you learn without it?
