I have read that the surge of adrenaline which occurs during stress short circuits fine motor movement of the muscles, and you end up relying on the gross motor skills that you have acquired. Could this be a reason why we would want to train our larger muscles with big huge movements?

Could this be a reason why we would want to train our larger muscles with big huge movements? In times of such stress, you're not just relying on gross motor skills ... it is about as much as you can do while you're shaking and while this static fills your mind, as you go into slow-mo. Gross motor skills doesn't totally equate to 'big huge movements'. Gross motor refers to anything not 'fine motor' ... using intricate hand locks or difficult blocking routines or multiple attack combos. Even a simple snap kick can be gross motor .. aim it somewhere there (the nuts) and let it rip baby! Colin

I would have to agree with Colin on this issue.

The Sifu would have much more experience dealing with difficult opponents than I. In fact, his 'signature' technique - a 'combat' wrist lock (not utilising the wrist at all) is an example of a typically fine motor technique done in a gross motor way. Congratulations for showing ingenuity in this adaptation!!!
