| Can they know how to do it better if they cant do it themselves.?......without actually going through it how can you know the subtle changes in the Kate for example...reading it in a book >?...
i can only relay my expereinces and in karate the best people i have been trained by are people who have been through the mill and still continue to train and strive for improvement.....
its not about training basics as i agree the basics are fundamental to a strong kareteka...the discussion is.....can someone who has ltd " real " life experience teach you actually how to get better unless they have been through it time and time again..i suggest not......
for example....can a new black belt explain how and where a kizamazuki power is generated from..>?......some sure but most no......reason they dont have the time in the game to teach yet........maybe to complete beginners but not his peers......................
sure we can all learn something from someone ( im not that arrogant to beleive im that good jools ) but thats not the point the point is on-going skill improvement and this imho can only be acheived by some-one that CAN teach and has the skill set gained through expereince and can relay the subltes and fundamental parts to a technique
