“Drills teach principles, they teach ideas but they are only the map, not the territory (unrealistic tendency, drills do not teach proper ranging.). Drills do not address the required commitment and force levels that a real assault will bring to the fight. Training drills are simply missing several critical components.” - Marc MacYoung, Talking Knives (Not exact quote, made small changes; paraphrased)

Comment: Basics, Kata, Kumite and Drills are all about teaching principles. The actual techniques and bunkai can be used in teaching novices how to apply them in defense but to actually apply them in battle, not so much. The focus should be on the principles and how those achieve the goals in self-defense. The BKKD’s provide a means to practice, lean and check principle application for physical, mental and spiritual advancement while the model for self-defense, force, conflict communications, etc. are about avoidance, deescalation, escape and evasion and other such concepts. Reality-based adrenal conditions training should encompass the critical components that drills, basics, kata and kumite are missing or just ignore when it comes to conflict resolution, violence and violent conflict solutions.
