I see what your saying and to a point I agree. I don't train to many specifics because as my friend Richard Dimitri says "It depends." There are no absolutes. Thats why we have to keep things alive in our training. Variable are the key to growth. The scenario will always dictate the action and level of force. I think your right when you say there are many scenarios to choose from. In most cases after awhile you start to notice certain threads of commonality. As long as people train in different enviroment, with and without weapons, work on failure or missing, etc.....etc.....you can develop a stronger game plan. When you break it down the more you expose yourself to options the more you realize it is better just to have a few things you can count on then to memorize a million moves to a million responses. Some of the greatest artist in history only used one medium and could create a myriad of different things. It might not answer everything, but your comming close. Violence is very predictable, the bad guy usually always plays somewhat the same role. Just my two cents.
