Agreed. I love fighting with someone that sticks his stick on his shoulder as his stance. James is fast on his feet though and has a nice drift shot that comes down toward your eagle wing/roof deflection/whatever and then drops his whole body and swing and target to the leg. This has really taught me to close with a low eagle wing/roof deflection/whatever and bring it up to 'explode' into it at the last moment. Thanks Balisong. Oh, yeah, something about the chamber/rechamber that can work as well is the broken or Pekiti Tirsia Reverse strike.

The grappling arts imply most fights end up on the ground. The striking arts imply all fights start standing up. The clinching arts imply the clinch can stop the striker from striking, and the grappler from taking it to the ground. The weapon arts imply the they can stop the unarmed man. A complete martial art implies any fight can go anywhere...be ready and able to go everywhere.
