Re: Vetting Our Skills

Re playing with the judo guys: somebody I respect a lot said to me recently, "You always suck at the other guy's stuff."

A friend at the dojo and I went after each other recently on the mat after practice just to see what we could get on each other. Sensei basically ripped us a new one. "There's no reality to what you're doing at all! You're standing there rabbit punching each other and thinking you have something! If you're going to do that, you'd better just hit each other for real, because you don't know when you're open and when you're not!"

Words to ponder.
