What We Are After Is The Root And Not The Branches. The Root Is The Real Knowledge; The Branches Are Surface Knowledge. Real Knowledge Breeds 'body Feel' And Personal Expression; Surface Knowledge Breeds Mechanical Conditioning And Imposing Limitation And Squelches Creativity.

Too Much Horsing Around With Unrealistic Stances And Classic Forms And Rituals Is Just Too Artificial And Mechanical, And Doesn't Really Prepare The Student For Actual Combat. A Guy Could Get Clobbered While Getting Into This Classical Mess. Classical Methods Like These, Which I Consider A Form Of Paralysis, Only Solidify And Constrain What Was Once Fluid. Their Practitioners Are Merely Blindly Rehearsing Routines And Stunts That Will Lead Nowhere.
