I agree here completely. Things like speed, strength, agility, always add to your various strengths, and help to overcome or hide your weaknesses. |
relying on strength alone though, will make u lose against someone stronger than you. Someone faster and/or with a better strategy will also win against someone who is not better, just stronger.

LIke my football coach always said, "A good team works on what they are good at, a great team keeps up what they are good at, but works on what they are the weakest at." Always use your strength, but you should work just as hard on your weakness, whether it is technique or speed or whatever - it is a philosophy for everything. Just cuz your working on your weakness doesn't mean your reject your strength - but don't do the opposite either. Just my 2.5 cents

This isn't always the case. There is always the "lucky punch" chance. However, in general, being smart and strategic will always be a benefit, especially if you are those things, and strong, and fast, etc.

This topic shouldn't be here in my view. Im a master of the arts and the only way to get there is to have no weaknesses. Of course you will have some but dont dwell on them this will only bring you down. strengthen you body mind and spirit untill there are no weaknesses.

No-one is perfect. Accepting and understanding this will help you improve alot more than ignoring you weaknesses. But i do agree that you shouldnt focus solely on your weaknesses in a negative light. |

What is important is to be able to identify what your weaknesses are (even if they are small; they are still there) and then train to make them strengths.
