Is combative experience AND expertise necessary to be able to teach?

Richard.

Having seen all your clips on youtube I'm curious as to your opinion on the question leading this thread?

Obviously you have excellent 'presentation' skills of your thoughts and ideas regarding 'real' Self protection and 'street effective' tactics, and I'm sure this is an effective method of gaining more 'supporters' on your Site and helps with DVD sales, but I haven't seen anything from your clips that appears to match the rhetoric?

I'm aware there are various individuals 'in the business' who think your claims and experiences are all bunkum, and going by the youtube clips to date there's nothing to suggest the contrary.... Do you have anything on youtube/the web which could support your claims of fighting capabilities, as I'm a little frustrated not finding anything to date.

Lastly, on the sparring clip where you are fully padded up? It seems to be little more than a 'no-contact' play fight and I wonder if you consider this type of sparring relative to 'street combat' of just a bit of fun in the Gym?

All the best

I wouldnt want to be held to a higher standard than that demanded of everyone else teaching self protection
