There is no correct technique there is only appropriate technique

There is no correct technique there is only appropriate technique

December 14, 2019 By MAO40 Staff

Damon Smith is a successful instructor of XingYi. Like the best martial arts masters, Damon conceals just exactly how skilled he is. Damon loves to stress that there isn’t correct technique but instead, there is appropriate technique. By digging deeper into the statement, one surmises that Damon means one must apply the proper technique at the proper time, otherwise the technique is useless. In all martial arts, you must have a set of strong skills ready to use in any given situation.

Key Takeaways:

  • Like most competent XingYi instructors, Damon Smith hides his martial arts skills well.
  • Damon Smith likes to stress that there isn’t a correct technique, instead there is an appropriate technique.
  • To succeed at martial arts, one has to accumulate a variety of skills to rely on in various situations.
