back to the topic: true combat or choreographies?
I subscribed AD's "federation" from 2001 to 2002 and I know something about them.
Yes it can be a true combat, they are able to make a true sport combat, but in front of the public they are pretty always choreographies, but not in the sense they do not combat for true (and they do it hard and bloody), but that generally the hits are more or less prepared in an ending sequence when one of the fighters loose. They teached us while making the legionary battles. But this is normal and acceptable, and it is the only way to produce a good and appealing combat for the public.
In this I think they are really the number one.
About their theories and research it different.
If someone would like to discuss the "front line change" (in Italy non AD people called it the "little train") take present it was very long discussed on the italian forums.
