Gok - I might be wrong but sometimes I think you get caught up in the 'romance' or 'mystic' side of Martial Arts. I can relate as when I used to study TMA I too was guilty of this until I broadened my horizons and gained 'practical hands on' experience and training. I say this as I wonder when you have seen or can share where monkey style, drunken style or capoeira has been used effectively. Personaly I see both as a hobby or dance with little use as the liklehood of pulling it off in a fight is extremely slim...I would say the same for trying to use it in decent hard contact sparring too.

I am wrong all the time though and always open to others experiences
