My biggest concern is, in fact, the problem with getting any good partners these days. Even if I could convince someone to smack me around they won't be around consistently.

I've read in articles that "reasonable massocism" has helped martial artists who fight full-contact - is that true?

Yeah, reasonable massochism definitely helps you develop a certain resistance to pain. But.. uh.. I'm sure there's smarter ways to go about it. Pick up skateboarding, that worked for me

I read somewhere that the greatest fighter in the world does'nt fear the second best fighter in the world, he fears the worst, because no idea what the worst fighter in the world is going to do. Trust me, the idea here is to dodge and block your unworthy opponents. To create oppurtunities for your attacks by aggressive positioning. If thats all u have to work with its better than nothing
