"Real" fights

I have been thinking, is it better to just get a bunch of people together doing Kung Fu that they watch in the movies? It's more confusing than a class. More chaotic than standing in lines. But are drills better? I think drills are better for getting a group to work together. It's like training an army. But for training individuals... what if you just watched You tube videos of Old Kung Fu movies... not even Kung Fu tutorials... but the movies or even Avatar episodes... and then do all that stuff on each other for hours... which kids will do.

Of course people will get hurt.


But people get hurt anyway. And believe it or not children will naturally pull punches. Most children anyway. And those that don't will usually get jumped... unless they are strong enough that they somehow end up as leader... that's how a tyrant is created.

But Since a lot of Kung Fu comes from watching animals. Let's go ahead and watch animals. They are pretty strong and they can be ruthless. Animals still know all about "real" fighting in a way that humans don't. Even humans in war. Because for animals... it is just life. They are still in the food chain. Just look at their life spans.

Anyway, do they get in lines? Geese around the pond fly in formation. So I guess that's the closest thing I can think of. But other than that, it's all play. Fun and games as it were... for training. There is no need to make it more "real."  Because real life is all around them.
