Sure, this may very be the end result sought after, however it is easy to see how "outside-the-box" techniques can and do bring these concepts and principles into sketchy teritory.

Upon watching the Judo competitions at the last Olympic games for examples... It was surprising to see how often some competitors gave up their COM to commit to certain applications and techniques... Often ending in poor results btw. Time was not on their side IMO

I think this is one of those areas where we all seem to be after the same end result, but the means to the end and interpretation of these applied concepts are actually very different.

Yes... What something "looks like" doesn't matter, as long as it first meets the prerequisite of being at the right time and space.
