Yea Dan, maybe, one day...I will finally get to one on one with the likes of you too!
Your taking the heat pretty good!
I'd like to clarify that again, I have no issue with what you are training even though it sometimes sounds like it.
Just a few things on perspective and realitive weight of it. Which I consider to be very important.

I almost never get mad, Kevin. Those who don't know this stuff get frustrated and for good reason. Those who do- simply understand.
On a pure fighting level you and I both know that banging and rolling is its own reward. Why I say I argue on two fronts. But you need to separate the two to train it, then join them together. It's what I said to Rob. "Without fighting experience- its tough to convince someone like me of the value." Its why I show it to fighters as a separate skill set. I tell them "You lift, you run, right? All in order to build your body. This will build-YOUR- body in a different way that you can use to enhance YOUR skill set." Otherwise, if they're like I was- they won't listen. They will judge all you know, by your ability to defeat them. Its kind of nonsensical of course. Its like looking at a BJJ or Judo guy whom you can defeat then discounitng BJJ or Judo. On the other hand when I handle them they think its all skill. So its a bit of a chess discussion. Its a very powerful skill set, but as we know MMA is a both great teacher and a great equalizer.
Thanks for the taking "the heat well" comment. Many here have at least acknowledged that. I take the heat well for some very simple reasons.
Cheers
Dan
