“Copying”

There are a few things we should consider when talking about copying.

The first point of copying is what you copy. To copy his teacher correctly means, first of all, to copy his evolution of practice.

The process of the lock-up, through which it passed, to reach the level at which it is today. This means that the master should be ready to return you in those years and spend time explaining and showing you what his path was. Most people do not receive such a transfer. These people often try to say that copying is not important.

Most of the people who came to art late are trying to copy the master in his late years. But do not follow the evolution of the technology through which it passed. If you look at how he trained many years ago, this is what everyone should start with, deep and long-term practices over the most basic elements, movement, position, distance, etc. this is part of the process of development through which the master has passed, and the first generation of masters together with him, you cannot miss it, after all, your teacher is a bridge of present with the past, with tradition!
