Body snatching by Rick Hernandez

This is not meant as disrespect to his teacher, but the way Rick Hernandez moves is IMO more impressing that what I have seen from his teacher and mentor, even if it is similar it looks for me as it is on very different level and beautiful to watch and has that functional brutality combined with grace in his movements, the mindset he talks about in other videos is what comes closest to what I have learned from my best combative teacher and mentor Tom Sotis. If AMOK! did not exist I am pretty sure that Rick Hernandez would be among my top 3 choices to spend all my time and energy to learn and evolve. But there is a limit to what I can train, as being a jack of all trades is not good as some claim, to much extreme specialisation is the road to evolutionary death of a species, having a solid platform and foundation is important and imperative, having more solid foundations in completely different areas is off course better, for me the ability to see solutions spontaneous from an understanding of how the body and mind works is crucial in my personal quest, I don’t want to collect techniques but understand why, how, when to do the what I do better and to pass that knowledge on to others. I am more interested in the cause than the effects metaphorically, having a million techniques is IMHO inferior to a complete understandings of few basic body mechanics, many boast with how many techniques they know which I really don’t care about and often find silly, but seeing a person who from no matter whatever random position can act reflexive and can improvise a simple sophisticated functional solution that is not a perfected technique trained for many years is truly awe inspiring and my goal with training.
