Yeah i guess your right. if its isolated then integrated drills then sparring then that is the best way to train.

opps your right. …
opps your right. LOL The actual training method of aliveness is laid out in the you tube vid ‘training and the I method’ he says.. it consists of isolated drills, then integrated drills and then sparring… I think u’ve misunderstood the method as just sparring.

“Alive doesn’t mean …
“Alive doesn’t mean without drills… from what I can gather from reading an article by Matt it means ONLY drilling without resistance”

I think you mistyped what you are trying to say.

Alive doesn’t mean without drills… from what I can gather from reading an article by Matt it means ONLY drilling without resistance, and the resistance doesn’t have to be full contact it can be simply (gently) not being a compliant human dummy for their techniques.

ONLY?
give me a …
ONLY?
give me a brake. there has to be some balance.
even ju jitsu and judo people have to intitially learn a movement before they insert it into rolling.
If i show a first day guy a hip throw once. Im not going to start resisting his motion and trying to choke him when he tries it the first time. Ive got to let him learn the motion without resisting initially.
YOU JUST CANT ALWAYS TRAIN ALIVE.
The thais the brazilians the japanese they all have isolated drills to intially learn motions

Alive training is …
Alive training is the only way for any martial artist to train. Take Judo or Brazilian Jiujitsu, you do at least 15 minutes of full blast alive training on the first day.

If nothing else, I think he wants to teach MMA without doing MMA. You know, fine, whatever.

This doesn’t make …
This doesn’t make that much sense when I hold him to his own concept of “aliveness”. If you want to call it “cutting stuff out” then be honest about it and say “I don’t find this useful”. Capitalizing on the MMA trend will probably guarantee you money to live on. It doesn’t make you right.

Sheesh, it’s common sense!
