Some get better, (fiugre out what works for them). A person who likes to fight and has been in fights semi regularly I would imagine has some edge on a person with less motivation or expereience. natural= more willing to fight and enjoying the fight experience win or lose --------------------------------- Yahoo!

Not just a willingness to fight, as noirpalm suggests. Not so much physical, like bigger or stronger. Not just an accumulation of experience. More like it seems he has more natural attributes--more quick muscles, quicker reaction, more "fighting" coordination, etc. Something like seeing some people dance naturally, while some have the proverbial two left feet.

Reply-To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net In response to Lance's comment regarding natural fighters, I notice that some of the best "natural fighters" who win consistently do it with extraordinary violence. It's like a switch that just gets flipped. One axiom I preach for self-defense is that the best way to overcome violence is with extraordinary violence.
