See i'm not only training not to get hit, i am still training to attack and all the usual stuff... This is a goal for me... if i can win without hurting the guy... thats when i will call myself a master, but never before... Hands_down... just say ou and i are in a fight, you go full out (MMA STYLE!) after you wasting all this energy you won't have hit me... i have wasted very litte in re-directing and avoiding your attacks... but you've wasted heaps... whos going to have the advantage?! the more you fight, the more you loose energy, the slower and weaker you become, until eventually you cannot fight any longer... that is when i either finish you off... or i walk away (or if we were in comp i'd push you voer onto the ground).
Its a huge project to complete, but if i get it... i'll be 3 times as hard to beat!

as for training by myself in the basement (or garage for me since we don't have basments in aust) i'll just practise the avoiding attacks... it will do until the next day when i train it with someone... its a lot harder than people think to go from down low to up right to down low again over and over and over... its energy consuming... but doing Drunken Fist i have accustomed my body to it... so i find it easy now days... which is going to make this project that much easier...
With re-direction along with the avoiding i can go unhit from a one on one fight... but i can't yet do it with only avoiding (coz the kicks are hard to avoid... so i need to re-direct) once i get this done i will move up to two people, and i will keep going until its physically impossible...
i havre a friend training for UFC, so i always see if this works against him... it does but after a while he does grab on to me... so i still have goals.

i think redirecting would take its tole on you. what if i punch and kick at the same time or combinations, you can't redirect everything, NO ONE IN THE WORLD CAN REDIRECT EVERY PUNCH AND KICK woah caps too lazy to erase, anyways, yeah its hard to re-direct attackas when the other person is skilled. i think after about 1 minute of trying to redirect, you'd be fed up and try to fight back. i can honestly say if you never hit me back, i'd destroy you. i'm not trying to be cocky, but i'm not just going to get tired. one day i'll show you :P

When re-directing i'd be retreating or side stepping as well, not just on the one spot... with foot movement re-directing is easier and barely energy consuming... after all the crane is a master or full re-directing... and the crane is damn hard to ware down because it uses all of your energy to fight you, not its own... so its kinda like a more intense version of crane's defence... or a Traditional crane style really...
you have told me that when you go full out it lasts for 4-5 mins... i can use footwork and re-direction for much longer than that time.
i do think you were a little cocky saying that, you have never seen or experienced my skill in martial arts... so saying that you'd waste me if i didn't attack is stupid, true i've never seen yours so thats why i'm saying its not going to work now... i have given myself 2 years to complete this goal! haha, so i have time to complete, but this may be extended because of study

okie dokie. your set in your ways and i respect that, but i don't see what yuor going to do when someone grabs you.

I am not set in my ways, if this proves impossible for me to accomplish then i will abondon it!
If someone grabs me then i have 9 years of Various Kung-Fu styles and 8 months of grappling to take them out!
so i am still going to be ok

fair enough
