One important training philosophy that we have here is that the basis of training is sparring. When a new student comes to class, even with no experience at all, they start sparring the first class. With protective gear and a soft stick and/or knife, but sparring comes first. If not, the person can develop very bad habits for years before actually trying the art out.
Also, the art is experiential, meaning that each person must experience the fight for him or her self. It may be great that the techniques have been proven by others, but the technique by itself is useless without the sparring time to develop the proper attributes to be able to actually apply the techniques in a real situation. So, each individual must develop the ability to use the technique under real fighting pressure. That is the difference between knowledge and skill.
