The student's goal
is to grow in these areas with the forms or tools he or
she is shown:
- control the body
- more flexibility
- whole body unity
- strength and power generation
- relaxation
- sensitivity
- root or greater connection to
the ground
The teaching methodology is to
watch the student as he moves, and to feel the student
during sensitivity drills to see how he is developing.
Then in turn to know when he is
getting close to having the concept or concepts ingrained
in his body.
Then and only then can we add new
concepts, forms or movements to develop the person more.
The mistake is not to be patient
and to add new concepts before students have actually
developed the previous ones. In doing so they will never
be able to learn and apply the future concepts because
of the lack of foundational skills.
It is the students’ responsibility
to spend the appropriate time developing concepts the
teacher tells them that they need.
When mistakes are pointed out,
the student should use all of his mental and physical
energy to correct them so that in turn he can progress.
The brilliance of the teaching
methodology is that the teacher’s eyes and touch
are calibrated to see and feel mistakes, so that in turn
the student will progress as quickly as possible.
The students’ goal is to
become good at whatever they are at in the system or whatever
forms they are working on. The more they practice what
they are working on, the quicker the teacher can fix their
mistakes and advance them.
