White Man Fighting Tip 4

Mastery of one leads to mastery of others.

Many inexperienced men would think you need to practice various techniques which isn't completely wrong, but they end up practicing hundreds of skills very few times. We don't want breadth alone, we want depth.

Let's say you legitimately train the 1-2 a 100,000 times. Of course during that time you would have trained other things as well, just not as much as the 1-2. Moving on to other skills, you would rapidly master them as opposed to how long it took you to gain mastery of the 1-2. That is because you have learned body mechanics, how your mind works and what it takes to actually master a skill etc. You will have many "eureka" moments on this path to mastery, where you realize a more efficient way or recognize a small bad habit that was stalling your growth. Through eureka moments, masters have learned a myriad of tiny tweaks and secrets of how to apply basic principles.

This 6.5 min video is quite interesting. A Muay Thai fighter light spars against a fencer, but later the muay thai fighter tries fencing, picks it up almost immediately and actually starts to score hits on the female who's been fencing for several years. This is what I mean by mastery of one leads to mastery of others. The muay Thai fighter is able to use his skill mastery and quickly start to apply it to a different pursuit.

Pursue depth in a single task or drill.
