Everyone is on different skill levels. If I showcase my abilities to a random guy off the street, I’ll be able to affect him more than I would a person training for 20+ years in the internal structure. There is a difference in the skill level. This applies to everything. It does not mean that I am terrible – I could be good. But what this does mean is that the other guy is terrible. So when you compare “good” to terrible then, of course, “good” wins. “Terrible” means that there is no structure, power or skill to speak of. A simple push throws the person off balance and sends them flying. That is what I mean by terrible.
Just because you can beat a few guys up – at once – does not mean you’ll be able to do so with bigger guys like WWE wrestlers or pro footballers or bodybuilders. I am speaking about the size of the people here. Your skill factor comes into play. Now the Chinese say that fighting requires three things: courage or guts, power, and skill. It is a hierarchy. One follows the other. But even if you have all three, it does not mean others will not have them as well.
When both of you have them, it is based on who can apply them more effectively, more efficiently and more quickly. Even though a person who trains for 50+ years comes to a point where, when stressed, the training determines the outcome. All of that 50+ training results in the outcome of that moment. If the training did not help, it will be seen as such. If the person makes a simple mistake then they had been making mistakes of that sort throughout their training. It was merely evident in the last scenario.
Skill level is important, it’s a measure of where you stand.
