And the truth is that there are many 'teachers' who can't even begin to 'do it' in the drills.. And if they can't 'do it' in the drills, (or do something goofy instead) they can't pass on those skills. If they can't 'do it' they can't give the student the feel for the skill, the skills, the contact training will be missing, absent, lacking and not 'okay' because the teacher doesn't have the skills.. Some of WCK training is taught on a non-verbal level, through feel and contact.. If the teacher can't do this they can't teach it..
