I'm not by any stretch saying it can't be done - I do it myself. I'm just curious as to what people mean when they say things like: when I practice double stick against double stick, I'm training for a real fight.

To clarify, I wonder are we talking about the attributes and mental toughness one gains from, say, Dog Brother type sparring, and the other multitude of benefits that we get from more "drill" oriented training? Or are there some peopl out there who carry a pair of sticks with them everywhere they go in case a violent siniwali riot beaks out in the streets?

Just curious.
