Seidokan Saturday 212, 1st kyu Brown Belt - Tuidi and gradations of response

Tuidi is one of the tools or aspects of karate that allow us to gradate our response.
Many critics and commenters on the methods of karate seem to view "fighting" as all or nothing, life or death, knock out and disable, MMA, battlefield, or what have you. Never mind the difference between "fighting" and "self defense".
Unilateral response to violence or threats is a poor way to train and think.
Tuidi/toide allows gradated or incremental response to varying threat levels from a self-defense perspective.

This is a great video, but just once I like to see a real-time punch or attack instead of slow-mo.
