| True to both. This is certainly more in the realm of 'martial arts tricking' than self defense. I guess I am assuming a certain command of the basics before (and thus an ability in self defense) before moving on to things like this. Even still, one who trains exclusively in self defense would have an advantage over someone who trains for stunts and tricks.
My point, if I haven't confused everyone yet, is that you shouldn't get down on these guys just because it is useless in a fight. (Unless they are claiming that it is useful in a fight.) |
