EVERTYHING IS SITUATIONAL
Techniques may or may not work. Everything is situational. There are certain conditions wherein a technique would work perfectly at a given situation while certain conditions using the same techniques could also fail miserably. Some executions are done cleanly and yet somehow comes out ineffective while some executions are done poorly yet to our surprise comes out effectively. So again everything is situational which means that it is highly dependent on circumstances that arise during the exchange of attacks and counterattacks, quickness on reactions to openings and reading the opponent’s intent and other factors concerning an individual's attributes. During demos in some of our videos, we deliberately intend to show how certain techniques work and executed during practice especially on the beginning stages of a beginner's progression. Naturally as things are done in a slow manner it is easy to perform cleanly and inject as many attacks one could deliver. And so it seems to be executed so smoothly basing the movements on this level. But these perceptions quickly changes once it is done in full combat speed and even moreso once full sparring becomes the nature of the game. Then we start to realize that indeed every skill, techniques thus require certain circumstances or even those coming out of a fluke for it to work. I maintain that some techniques are inserts and others are primary and there are no such thing as superior arts over the other but only superior on a certain situation. Which is often, until now very much misunderstood.
