I did not mean earlier that everyone should give up their 'training secrets' or anything, just that i did not think the original post was being addressed very well and wanted to try to get people going.
I believe repitition is the key to good basics, and then studying them form different perspectives

How do you get to proper technique... and what is "proper technique"?
Excellent string of questions, and the problem with basics is a simple and complex one at the same time. They must be taught by someone who is truly knowledgeable, and those individuals are as rare as a full bottle of beer at Gou's party. Everyone thinks they know basics, most are not even close. Or their "understanding" doesn't get beyond a punch and a kick.
I've discovered that most of the time, it isn't the basics that need to be modified for the student,

Can I add a couple.
How about the ripping effect as your practicing your basics. The ripping coming from one hand going out as the other is coming back.
Reverse motion.
Some people may use clockwise or counter clockwise rotation.
Point of reference when understanding the target in which you want to strike.
Those are just some I have seen. Hope that may help someone out.

and sometimes you do need to adapt basics to the student, especially if the student has some kind of disability. have you ever tried teaching someone with no hands to throw a punch? you adapt and turn what you know of your basics and your knowledge of the art, and change the basics to work for someone with that kind of disability.
I said basicsSOMETIMES need to be adapted to the student, but that the MAJORITY of the time it is the technique that needs to be altered, not the basic.
