REDUCE THE ABSTRACT.
One of my mottos. Now…we all know completely that removing the abstract in training is a harsh (and expensive) road to reality. Each step toward reality helps your fighting psychology. Each step toward reality helps your fighting psychology. And not even the coveted UFC can replicate true,
- no-rules,
- hand, stick, knife, gun,
- standing through ground,
- in rural, suburban and urban areas,
- crime and war realities.
- in actual clothes and gear you predict you will be wearing.
That’s my business-training-mission statement. Sure, some abstracts must exist in training. We can only reduce what we can imagine-create, limited by training progressions, finances and resources. All options are possibilities investigated by the who, what, where, when, how and why questions. One question? Why should we be doing “this,” when we could and should be doing “that?”
What is YOUR mission statement?
