Spending 90% of your time training in a skill that occurs half as often is not training. It’s stroking your ego.
Listening to trainers about structuring your training who operated in a completely different AO is equally re****ed.
Know what you’re training and why.
Balance most likely threat against most catastrophic outcome and apply maximum effort to each based on threat analysis.

Why are you training? Define your purpose before you structure your training.
