“The techniques are initially practiced with the consciousness directed towards understanding the purpose and practical application of the physical movements.
Next, the student begins to work on making his technique a natural part of knowledge; in effect, allowing his body to develop the natural ability to perform the technique.
Finally, the technique itself is dropped from consciousness as a technique, and becomes yet one more variation of the body and personality to handle things in an effective manner.”
