i've been on my own path for SP for ages but saw Richie's as way more developed;
i've gotten alot of mileage out of what i do--however, just remaining on the simplistic
and gross motor...the standard script rewrite package of becoming the attacker with
real intent to harm.
that said, i've always been able to tweek what i do with Richie's stuff. i'm seeing it with
several of my students who live in rough areas--they seem to pick up way more pressure
than i'd ever imagine. what should be a recipe for regular muggings--sometimes
a matter of simple, "give it up now and you can go" style harassment...and the odd male
testing that is supposed to go in favor of the dick head who's scent marking, blah blah blah
has gone hands down my student's favor. with the exception of a multiple, my lads are
growing at a faster rate than my experiences, and i'm not without my own experiences.
the concepts of going into mauling phases came from Richie, and i've introduced them because
of the expertice he's gain in real time at that level. otherwise i'd be a straight striker for my
experiences. the last interaction my top student was in [not teaching now because of logistics
and training areas, and time, etc...] involved him literally with a finger in the guy's mouth and
a head control like violent series of movements that ended the fight his way. he had a jammed
or fractured finger for his troubles but he was so savage the guy couldn't get far enough away
from him. this has been my goal for my lads from the get go.
ta again--and keep up the good stuff mate
