Okay when you learn Kenpo or any type of martial arts for that matter you learn step by step. i.e. you learn the first technique on the list then the next then the next etc.......
When you practise your techniques more often then not you practise the tech's in the order they are printed on the list. Of course you mix them up every now and again but you still may think of them as okay that's the one after "such'in such".
But have you ever tried to do techniques when someone describes the attack to you (as written in the manual) or even just say what's the only technique for a right cross or reverse punch?
My instructor did this to me the other day and totally blew my mind. I didn't know whether I was coming or going. :erg: Now before you think I'm a total dunce I can usually rhym off the techs and or the attacks but when he came at me with this different point of view I was Stymied. We had a good laugh and eventually got through them. It was a great learning experience.
Does anyone out there mix up there teaching of the technical side of their training like that?
