"He plays the game like a meditation" is a phrase that Ray Hudson used to describe Andres Iniesta (which is so true). Iniesta moves with the grace of a ballerina, as if he embodies what these "classics" say about movement, under pressure from the world's top defenders. He looks totally effortless most of the time, as you might look doing form with no one there. Reading these writings seem to me a reminder of how things should be in their most ideal state. If you truly read this and think "yup that's what I do all the time in form and in sparring", you deserve plaudits. But yeah, reading will be totally useless w/o practice.
Slightly on a tangent, the Fedor book is excellent, with great pictures, and is definitely a how to manual. Definitely is all his style for better or for worse. That whole series is quite excellent.
