Been watching lots of videos of the masters practicing. It's all like 40% strength at 60-75% speed. Then at that level they practice technique for hours and hours. It's more like a dance than a wrestling match. This was kind of an epiphany for me.
None of the coaches taught me that in class, and I only see the fundamentals classes where it's 12 fresh whitebelts fumbling through basic movements and crashing into each other. It's either that or tons of video of really high level guys competing where they are going really hard.
I strained my acl the other day just because both myself and my partner were doing something extremely basic but at 80%. I didn't even realize at the time we were doing anything wrong.
I think my training is going to go a lot better for me now.
