What better self defense than to not be hit? Seems pretty effective. We weren't allowed to hit ( hard contact ) until after the rank of third brown belt. The reason being, anyone can hit, it takes real self controll not to hit. This type of training can turn you into a hard target. It makes you rely on speed and there is something to be said about 4 or 5 years of learning to effectively block an attack. I'm a little guy and considerably fast for my age, I ve been in a couple of scraps and I'm a firm believer that speed is better than power. It's most likely because of my size or lack of it that this is my opinion, but we should all train to our strengths.
Thanks for the clip it was great.
