Takamatsuden Techniques

[ashkelon]

This is something I've always disliked in schools where there's not enough sparring. You assume you know what's going to happen when you take a certain action. I'm not saying it's impossible to set up later techniques, but the way you write is, "If I do A, the result will be B."

You fail to account for the many scenarios wherein your opponent will not move to one side following your clinched strike.

You've made statements like this a few times, and it's annoying because you should know better, and seem to be trying to argue against this sort of thing in your style.

As a relative beginner, what can Bujinkan offer me that I can't get faster (and better) from Muay Thai and Judo?

pinching.
