A well known teacher came around for a final push
My teacher had always gone easy on him but this time he threw him all over the place
When it was over he asked how come he could do it on that day
My teacher said nothing had changed he just filled up each gap
The teacher asked what technique did you use
My teacher said to me
With all his training he still thinks it’s still about technique
CMC is not about technique he’s all about feeling a gap and filling it up
That's really the thing of it. I don't know where technique becomes skill or if it matters. Getting side tracked playing word games.
That's the purpose. Consistent pressure and readiness. Smooth energy as some have written. When the opponent is broken and jagged, we are smooth and our energy fills the gaps and smothers their intention. Covers their qi?
