Everybody has seen it before, the guy who says after every technique-" but yeah in style x we do it like this, this way you have more power and are more protected and have better footwork and yada...yada...yada."
To me having an empty-cup means when you are in school A's classroom you should be working on what school A is teaching you. When you are in school B you should be working on what schoo B is teaching you. In the end you work it out you put together what works for you.
