We can naturally tell what’s good or bad without having to be told. We know a good dancer, musician, gymnast or fighter even if we’ve never trained in any of those skills by just watching them perform.

It’s important to rely on that ‘inner knowing’ so that we’re not scammed by others trying to sell us something else.

I watch martial art teachers with carefully cultivated looks and teaching manners explaining techniques and then demonstrating them to nodding heads when even my granny (if she were still alive) would be able to see that they wouldn’t work.

To make any technique work you need:

Venom
Intent
Power
Connection
Balance
Speed
Focus

And you don’t need to be an expert to see that.
