doc benway Posted March 3, 2008 Welcome Kenny! Nice post. I have also heard this quote and interpret it to mean that not only is it important to practice, but it is important to practice properly. To me that means that one must have a competent teacher and one must make the effort to practice intelligently. For example, let's say you practice taiji and you practice the form every day for an hour for 20 years. If you never paid attention to proper posture, distinguishing full and empty, and so on, that 20 years of practice will have taken you no closer to understanding taiji. So when you do practice, make sure you pay attention to the small details and practice very mindfully. That's how I interpret that saying. Best regards, PS - I really enjoy old sayings like that, keep them coming! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
