We made videos, took notes, memorized, and duplicated the things we were doing. Then we started looking for other sources doing the same things and learned from them. We also practiced things to see if they worked and if they were sound. We took the belief that some things may not work as efficiently as others, but that wouldn't mean that they were to be discarded. We wanted to know the truth behind what we were finding, so research had to be done to verify and find out.
Experience can be the best teacher, but often it is very unforgiving.
We follow a standard of ethics to help prevent us from having negative experiences. For anyone who wants only to find out about these lethal arts, we ask that you go somewhere else. We practice to get better at what we do in each Art that we have. Continual improvement is what we seek. We try to constantly improve upon what we have learned and what we plan to learn in the future.
