We must start by taking the whole and breaking it down into the many parts. This has been discussed before. Once it has been broken down into its parts then it is incumbent on the individual to follow certain steps to achieve a "working model" so they can then bring all the atomistic aspects back into a whole or holistic aspect for application.
- The first step is to find out if the atomistic aspect is effective or ineffective.
- Second is to create a environment that closely resembles reality and test to see if it remains effective or see if it is ineffective.
- Third they should look at the results and then add them to the repertoire of the systems, the bunkai so to speak.
- Fourth, they then should pass them along to other practitioners and ask those participants go through he same vetting process. They should provide feedback on the methods, make suggestions, and see if they can come to the same conclusions as the originator did - but remember this is for the individual performing the analysis/tests, etc.
- After many trials and tests to add in as much reality based environments, scenario's and individuals the individual can come up with the theory that "it works" and then incorporate that into their training and practice.
This is a simplistic way to explain how I envision a person learning and practicing karate-jutsu-do but I feel it will at least get the old juices of the mind flowing to gain the knowledge sought after in following the way.
