If your opponent is tapping, your technique is good. If he is not tapping, your technique sucks.
If you want to be a lion, you must train with lions.
The best way to get a move to work is to make it so uncomfortable that the opponent gives it to you to stop the pain.
Punch a black belt in the face, he becomes a brown belt. Punch him again, purple.
You should be a missile and go and destroy your opponent.
Always enter like a kitten and leave like a lion. But NEVER enter like a lion and leave like a kitten. Always be humble.
