And since one has to teach just one time to these students and time is limited, it is impossible to spend with each person all the time they would need. The demonstration should be as clear and precise as possible. It should emphasize the fundamental directions for the students and make them want to practice the technique. The explanation should give the meaning and the method of practice. It should emphasize the points that need special attention.
Every study goes through an imitation phase.
One should try, at first, to make students reproduce the technique as closely as possible to the way it was demonstrated by the instructor, without questionning it. Repetition Repetition allows the assimilation of explanations. Progressively, one can develop speed, power and sharpness. When a technique is difficult, it is preferable to break it down in many simple movements. It is not enough to correct the appearance of a technique.
