1. A person was trying to buy a suit in a store that only sells size 44 suits, but the individual is a size 40. So the sales man gives him a diet to gain weight. Or visa versa.
2. He than goes on and talks about a staight punch. Visualize your self in a horse stance and there is a vertical line infront of you. When throwing a straight punch you can turn your fist the very moment your elbow reaches the line, after the elbow reaches the line, or before you reach the line. All three of these will have the same affect. The underlying principle is torque in each example remains constant. It was the timing that changed not the principle.
"Therefore, if a move changes in appearance yet give an individual maximum effectiveness without changing the underlying principle, IT IS CORRECT."
He than goes on to give many other examples. But what I am trying to say is that event if a person is doing something that is not just like what is taugh but still ends up with the same results as a person that does it the way it is supposed to be they should not be critisized.
That is just like a golfer. Everyone has their own type of swing, but if they end up with great results than it is not wrong.
