I firmly believe that one can never stop improving unless one chooses not to improve.

I choose to improve forever!

CHAPTER 3

FUNDAMENTALS OF DEVELOPING HOME TRAINING EQUIPMENT

You see things; and you say, “Why?”

I dream things that never were;

and I say, “Why not?”

—George Bernard Shaw

As I’ve mentioned earlier, my primary motivation for building home training equipment is to develop, practice, and improve “correct” technique, so that it becomes second nature.

I have found that many techniques that I want to practice must be practiced over and over correctly to be perfected. But many times I have no training partner to practice with. Therefore, I build and design most of my training equipment so that the device, most of the time, can be used alone.

I also build many of the home training devices to convey a special “feeling” to me. What I mean by “special feeling” is that the training equipment will have to closely duplicate the “feel” of the actual fighting technique when used in combat.
