“Sport fighting in all its forms is entertainment. The absence of blended attack methodologies shows how ineffective hitting alone is and fools us into thinking it is effective. Sport fighting ‘Mimics’ fighting and that also makes us believe it is effective when in fact, we are being fed a double dose of ineffective.” - Marc MacYoung, Getting Hit and Hitting (combined and edited quote)
Comments: Reality, we hide from reality because its realism and truth makes us feel “Uncomfortable and Fearful.” This produces anxiety and we modern humans have lost the connection between our current fictional self-soothing self to the real life self that understands and deals with the reality of conflict, violence and the very real potential of violent conflict. Our fear has taken us further toward that which we fear that we fear it more resulting in our efforts taking us further down the rabbit hole causing even more fear now based on ignorance and dangers that are just no longer present. We perceive and assume that the normal social communications of conflict and violence are at such dangerous levels when nature itself designed us and these social communication tools to not cause grave bodily harm or even death. It can be that lack of understanding, knowledge and acceptance actually makes the socially driven communications skills derived from striking and punching so that they open the door to more accidents that cause grave bodily harm and even death - a veritable looping like the OO bound in the OODA, we are frozen in a state of denial, fear and anxiety that actually feeds the loop. Can we break the loop?
