Chen Chen sorry but the human body dosn't react the way you might think. You can not react, analyse ,formulate and respond in a fraction of a second. Sorry pal, impossible. Your nervous system does but not you brain. You are way to analytical in your style of MA. Most people, including you get " deer in the headlight" Sydrome and freeze when attacked. Your split second theroy is BS. Ed

So you don't train to react ed? I find this difficult to beleive.

as far as "training" in the penenatentary
or "pen" ,
well unless thier name is Manson
they are useually released at some point.

Ooops!! Guess the times I've done it were a fantasy, and I'm dead on the side of the road somewhere!!

Magon, Will do.
Ed, surely a sensei and military man could analyze whether an opponent is trained or not. Perhaps your senses have been dulled by old age. How can you say I freeze up in the face of attack? Have you ever attacked me? If so then surely you would know that while I will not hesitate I also will not run in head first guns blazing. Remember the saying "Fools rush in". The sort of analyzing I speak of takes mere fractions of a second often before the attack is launched from either myself or my opponent.

ED,,it's CUSTER not Custard ! Are you in the Air Force or something? General George Armstrong CUSTER! Held the right flank in distingued cavalry action at Gettysburg. Anihilated at Little Bighorn. You make military people look bad when you screw up something easy like that.

sorry for the spelling! Ed By the way I was in the first cav div. so I am very familiar with the history. Ed
