You'd be suprized at what a person will do. Any-who, if the teacher never has your opponant speed it up from just holding out your arm, then it is indeed a "mess". You also don't fully learn the technique. Once you get good at applying the technique on someone who knows what you are about to do, applying it to some Joe-Shmo who throws out sloppy punches is a cake-walk.
But put the blaim where it needs to be. The "mess" is the failure of the teacher, not the art.
