Teaching Fundamentals and Principles

I will stretch a bit and say that I would, teaching fundamentals and principles of martial systems, use the book by Stephen J. Pearlman, The Book of Martial Power, as a guide book. It is so much information that it warrants continued review as each subject is taught. There is so much more that covers such subjects as body mechanics, power generation, etc. that it cannot be missed as to its value to any practitioner whether they instruct or not.

After reading a few more chapters it brought to my attention just how incomplete my instruction was on such subjects. I am only thankful that regardless of that short coming most of my dedicated students at least learned some of this stuff. Again, in hindsight, it would have been wonderful to have discovered this about twenty or twenty five years ago.

I am thankful to receive more clarity and new knowledge even this far down the path. Just goes to show once again you CAN teach and OLD DOG new tricks.
