I tried the white knuckle fight and lost more often than I won. I think it has it uses and if it is helping you Karate that is awesome. For me though I had the same epiphany that aloatsober did. Once I raised the flag and surrendered things started to get better. Don't get me wrong though, standing toe to toe and fighting it got me through a lot of battles on the winning side early on.
