On one hand I absolutely agree with the core of what you're saying. If you're just a repository of random techniques you're going to suck as a martial artist. On the other hand I do think it's extremely useful to look at methods and techniques outside of your system and implement them into your training and personal style.
@@camrendavis6650 I think that's an important part of it but also the fact that techniques are the end result of a particular set of body mechanics used in a particular contacts on an individual whereas the overall strategic doctrine, movement meta, and combat attributes of a system are the most important part and should be the core of the training. Not techniques themselves.
Yes. This process goes top-down, and bottom-up quite fluidly too. Just picking up techniques is like a gateway, then the tactical level starts when the learner begins thinking about how to enter combat, this is when the previous techniques start morphing into different combinations and variations. Then at the abstract/meta level is the person embodies the art and can "do things that way". Then it trickles down - from the abstract and distill back to the techniques.
Man I keep on thinking and mentioning this, the whole "take what's useful discard what isn't useful' is so reductive because... HOW do you determine what is useful and what works, and what works or doesn't for one person is different from others. The epistemological humility and shit lol

Love this. Always appreciate the wisdom of a system or style in order to understand their POV and add your bit in it
Great Wisdom
Yes and Yes !!! Awesome video thank you ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
So you're saying , " Don't cherry-pick techniques and dedicate time and effort to a complete system?"
