Learning anything comes with a lot of questions. Questions for the Sensei. Questions for the Sempai. Questions for the practitioner. It is an exchange of information that promotes progress through ability, motivation and attitude.
I find that the most important question is derived from many other questions. There is one generic question that can fall into that one ultimate important question, "Does it work?" Such a simple question that takes a great deal to answer.
Show me a technique and I will ask "does it work?" Does it work in a fight? Does it work for self-defense? Does it work if attacked by a predator? You ask and find the answers. The answer determines its value in regard to other questions.
If I focus on sport then I want to know, "does it work," as to scoring points and winning the contest. It may not work anywhere else. It will work in this context according to the other questions.
Other questions come and go, change and adjust, and are either relevant or not; all depending on the question that drives the ultimate, important, relevant question, "Does it work?"
In your system, does it work?
