Evolutionary Corporatespeak.

One of the themes in my understanding of fighting is that it is an extension of your personality. After all, the basic rule is that you can't think. You drill so you build the reflexes and no matter who teaches you and how you are taught- when you're on the wrong end of the sword you will always fall back on what feels right.

Adding to this is the whole definition of stress (neatly and whimsically paraphrased as the feeling you get when you can't punch the motherfucker who deserves it) The psychological aspects are that we're built with a fight or flight response and there are times when you can neither run away or dismember the person who has been annoying you.

This forms a sound base for fleecing corporations who have enough money to invest in "team building" weekends. You have fertile soil for mutual respect, the ability to spot unsportsmanlike behaviour- those who will deny solid hits just to plough through and get an unearned afterblow. You no longer have the conflict between fight and flight and (if you get the liability insurance and tweaking of rules) you can have a safe version of fight club in the office.

I reckon if we dress it all up in crappy corporatespeak, use ridiculously long words and all this pretentious bollocks that I've spent 12 years walking away from... We can make a shitload of money from running weekends explaining "how to dissect your colleagues"

I know, I've been quiet for a bit.

Mostly because there's not been much to say. Without a venue, I'm reliant on good English weather to hone my skills and find the problems with my interpretation. But, rest assured, spring has certainly sprung and a regular midweek session will be starting soon.
