To me that really speaks to the differences in techniques and a principles. When following principles(to move fluidly through your landscape with little to no negative effect to your surroundings or your self), changing the technique(the angle, the speed, the foot placement) is of little consequence. This is what makes free-flow possible! However, if you ARE intimate with the principles and dis-obey them, you're in for a world of pain, or no growth. If we as students and educators can focus on studying and teaching principles, I think our training will go a lot further. Of course, there's no getting around drilling techniques into the thousands before the principles find us worthy of showing themselves. Thus is life, no?
