What makes it tactical?


The pics look like regular repelling down a mountain.


Wouldn't you need prior repelling experience to learn something "tactical"?

I think 'tactical' is just a sales tag

I think I "knackered" a rib laughing at that.

The original injury is from practicing bo-staff techniques with scaffolding poles when I was some 20 odd years younger than I am today.

Ripped up all my serratus anterior which has over the years gradually compromised my shoulder.

To be honest I dont thing Wing Chun helped.

More recently I have been doing some hard contact stick stuff combined with dumog and managed to get into a couple of shoulder wrenching situations. Which means no Judo for me for a while

Should also add that I have taken a number of pretty bad falls onto my shoulder and neck, was hospitalised for two of them.
