教拳不教步,教步打師傅
Teaching boxing but not stepping, teaching stepping beats the master (the master enables the student to be able to beat him)
教一手,不教一口,教一口不教一走
Teaching a technique but not telling, telling but not teaching how to move
Books and writings are a very good help, especially when doing researches, but they are hardly a way to really learn, and especially at the very beginning, so are videos. This is even more true for old practices which were not a product for the masses but a tool customised for each and every student. Hence, this blog, like any other writing, is totally useless for any person willing to study the arts, it can only be a means of reflexion.
