The body mechanics that you describe, will not work with out the other skills. I would even say that the other skills are what give the body the shape initially which is discarded at a higher level or later stage of development.
So for me the first and most important part is not necessarily the body mechanics, but the mind or inner components that in my view the mechanics help to promote until a certain stage of development has been reached. Weather contact is made or not, what makes it work is the same, providing that it’s the underling skills at work in the first place.
