Makes sense, huh? You will revert to your training when you are put under the stress of real combat. Wishful thinking won't change that.
As far as Bruce Lee not not being a fighter, acording to people who knew him he was. Niether you or I will really ever know, but judging his skill from the skill of someone who takes JKD is ridiculous. |
when ive been put under stress of combat, i didnt put my hands down and assume a stance like i would do in a TKD competition. in TKD, at least where i trained,
you have sport competition training and you have self defense / street combat training.
TKD was also designed to teach fighting methods in a short amount of time to a large population of troops where you have such tenets like perseverance and indomitable spirit playing a factor in driving one to not
falter under the stress of combat
