In your martial training you need to have resistance or alive training. This is where someone resists what you are attempting to do and also counters or actually attacks with a technique and you have to counter. In other words you need some sparring and rolling happening to improve! I regularly build practitioners up by teaching them skill sets and then have them go out and work them against a resisting opponent in a sparring match. Always this is done with an eye on injury prevention but there is and always will be an opportunity for injury in any Martial Science training. Older practitioners have to be even more careful during there training. Still we work to improve and sparring, rolling, grappling, randori, etc. is needed!

See You On The Mats!!!
