This video is “deleted content” from the material I recorded for the video about the Cobra Kai series. As it escaped the main theme a little, I ended up editing it out, but I believe that the discussion itself is very valid.

We cannot train in a certain way simply “because so” or because we consider it “hard”. We need to look for foundations for what we train and teach, from the purpose of the exercises themselves to how they affect our bodies.

Training done in any way can hurt rather than strengthen, leave sequelae instead of helping our well-being or being harmful in the long run. Our brain was not designed to be hit, for example, and this can have serious consequences.

Of course, there are exercises with more contact, more demanding or that leave you with some bruises on your body for a few days, this is natural. But violence for violence is masochism and training without foundation is irresponsibility.
