Techniques are often used to teach the principals

Discussion over.

If you only got the technique with no applied principle behind I reckon you will get your arse kicked.

Your technique will be hollow and empty, ie much of the crap MA we see out there.

Just my Opinion.

yes because without principles what are our techniqes? What are our forms? Theyre just patterns and dances without any principles

*shakes fist back at souljah*...

i dont think you can really have one without the other. how well you can do and adapt depends on your understanding of the principle though.

Dawood.

Agreed.

Principles are insubstantial, they need the techniques in order to be fully expressed and understood.

Thumbs up

Guess you know how I voted Braden. Seriously, why even bother practicing techniques? They take forever to master and you never encounter that same situation in a fight. Principles all the way!
