What has been proven is that a full power strike to the wrong target (or the right, but protected target) isn't necessarily effective. imho, people sometimes worry too much about power and not enough about placement. Ray Terry Ray, You have been at this game long enough to know that placement is bullshit. All placement does is increase your odds of success. There is no 100% take out shot. Hit a guy with a stick anywhere and there is someone who can take it. Even the poor guard who was shot in the head yesterday lived for 24 hours before death. The take out shot has power and placement you have to have both. If you have not trained the power you are deluding yourself about what you can handle. Power...the most crude element of a physical contest will always surprise you when it pushes you beyond previous limits. You have to worry about power. you need to respect it, cultivate it, fear it ,conquer it and finally continue to explore it. Regards, Carlton H. Fung, D.D.S.
