To summarize it, it's learning how to learn. It's the most powerful tool a human can learn. The more tools you have for learning things, the easier it gets to deconstruct a problem and frees you to solve the problem in your own way. I deal with this every day as a programmer. It's the difference between having a hammer in a toolbox versus having 1000 tools. If you want to take apart a iPhone a hammer won't work. You need a ifix it kit. If you want to build a log house, you need a different set of tools. Learning how to learn helps you figure out what tools you need to solve a particular problem.
Fascinating interview. The problem with Wing Chun is so much of it truly is "internal". The idea or intent is more important than the movement. Movement results from intent, not the other way around. One can mime the same movements, but movement without meaning is meaningless.
What a great interview. Very genuine and inspiring teacher.
Thank you 😊

Very interesting perspective, yes I feel we should focus on the moves just as much as the intent
