All very clear points Mike. So if size and strength have the advantage when the skill of the fighters is equal this raises the question: Can one reach a level of skill that is so great that it cantr be overcome by the advantages of attributes like size and strength.
This links back to the martial art philosophy-type stuff.
"In Kamon, size and strength dont matter"
Although this statement is a bit broad to be fact it does boil down to the idea of skill having less limits then the attributes we have been talking about(size, speed, strength, reach etc). What i mean by this is that if someone could reach a certain level of skill then these attributes wouldnt matter. There is a limit to strength and speed (look at world records) but is there a limit to skill? What do you guys think?
