Fighting

It is a big difference, if you want to learn techniques, or to learn fighting through techniques.

Soke Ruy San always highlight a feeling (kimochi) of fighting.
If you know techniques and do not have a feeling (kimochi), technique will not help you.

The point is experience...experience give you understanding and a feeling of fighting.

Soke said "people who practice only technique, do not understand Budō. Budō is much more then technique itself!

TaiDen (from the body)
ShinDen (from the heart)
KuDen (from the mind, experience)...

Practice...
