My son was at a football (soccer) party when a little oik put him in a headlock. watching from the other end of the pitch I watched him step into his opponent and deliver a few swift punches to the oik's nose over his shoulder. Oik let go and was friendly to him for rest of the party.

He hadn't taken any martial arts at that point in time, so I asked him why he chose that solution - his response was 'I thought about what would Indy do'. Smile | :)

One reason for this might be that it is a large (and/or heavy) person. In the cycle of Considerations you could see this as "Environment" and the solution is to try the technique with someone smaller (and lighter) or to use another technique.

Surely the first consideration should be is my technique correct. During training the initial response should be 'work with someone who can help improve my technique', and then in sparring it should be 'is my technique still right or what defense are they using to counteract my throw'?

That's what I'm saying. Obviously I don't make mistakes like that, but new members do...

Personally I still make technical errors, find myself thinking later that a different technique or slightly different application during sparring would have been better, but that's why we stop, evaluate, improve isn't it Smile | :)

My instructor often talks about the classic picture of yin and yang and how that is used when deciding how to go up against an opponent.

For instance, yin and yang could represent soft and hard. If your opponent is a lot bigger / more powerful or has longer reach than you do, you're likely not going to beat him using techniques that are designed to overpower him (so called 'hard' techniques). The way to beat him would be to use soft techniques like speed / deception / getting him off balance.

Hope this helps. Good luck with your black belt exam Smile | :)
