I was in doing some cardio/warm ups on the bag and I saw a guy who had trained pretty hard for a couple of years in the bag room
I worked with him a little bit
And I noticed something
He had holes in his style
He kept dropping his hands, and he didn’t have enough turn in his kicks to make them as powerful as they could be
His combinations also didn’t flow
Then I realized something
You could be technically proficient in techniques
But not as useable as mine
I figured out why
I’ve spent hours and hours in a gym just cultivating one combination or strike
So it’s ingrained in my body and I know my body knows how to do it
I don’t have to stop and worry if my toe is in the right place
I just know it is
I just make minor tweaks here and there now, and make things happens
This why Bruce Lee and his Jeet Kune Do were into economy of motion so much
It doesn’t matter what strike it is
You should be able to follow up naturally and honestly (without thinking is what this means)
No pause, no worrying about how you’re doing the technique
Your weapons should just fire
If you want to reach higher levels of striking capability
This I the way it must be
So stop worrying about your form, and make your minor tweaks as you go along
Don’t take it too serious
Have fun with it
