I am new to the forum and still awaiting my first tapes...so you guys might have to bear with me. Also I might not understand entirely what you are saying... I dropped french about 15 years ago (but doubt it would help me now) and I am not in the NYC area...but if I ever am...
The Shredder, it seems to me, is never presented as a technique but as a concept. You take the guys face (or other part of body) and you "rip it up" following the 5 principles and you do this from up close and personal. The sequence of the strikes is simply determined by the openings created by the previous one.
I don't really see what your saying... does Senshido offer more than the shredder, from what I can see yes. Does Senshido value the shredder as a concept? I think so from the way it is marketed, with the TM and all.
I think IMHO we should never fixate on one concept or idea but be open to a number of opptions, do I hope to include the shredder in what I do...YES absolutely and for a period this new concept will fixate me, will demand my time and then, when I get it (if I ever get it ) I will move on to another area of training and fixate on that for a while. I might even fixate on two or three things at once.
If I missed the point of what you are saying Warren I apologise. I am looking forward to getting my tapes and fixating my hands aon my TP's face.
All the best
Bear
