    I agree - There was no structure to the original post and I'm not exactly sure what the point of it all is?

    From reading this thread we now seem to be at the point where "trapping" as a term can mean anything?

    I was fighting full contact fights in 1976, which is probably before some of you were born. These were all out fights with little protection sometimes a groin guard and sometimes a gumshield and to tell you the truth anyone who trained with us at the time was involved in some of the most violent fighting I have ever participated in.
    Fair play, do you train like this now? Does anyone in your club go this hard these days?

    You talk about a resisting opponent, try getting kicked in the head full force by a 220 pound brown belt and being knocked clean out for a few minutes, getting 4 teeth kicked out and not being able to remember my own name.
    Does this level of resistance persist in your school today? You guys must be awesome at competions if you train that hard. Although it sounds like one of those schools where some big fat dude with a bit of training beats lumps out of the new lads to condition them. But I'm sure it wasn't like that.

    Truth be told I only had two teeth knocked out, but my daddy can lift up a house!!

    I try to screen out that type of bully. Yes many of the students can handle themselves pretty well. Many have done well in the street and in competition.

    OK, When they have been the subject of an attack by a street thug they have been able to defend themselves.
